The I AM thread. (The 4-day rule applies!)

[I_am]

I am in solitude contemplating my future. My life has been devoted to public service but the death of my soul-mate has shaken me to the core.

I am a thirty-something loner who recently made an unlikely friend. We have become separated and I don’t know whether I’m relieved or disappointed.

I am a town leader, beginning to feel burdened with my responsibilities. I want to build my community but obstacles keep impeding progress.

I am a thief turned Knight. I am quiet most of the time but still an opportunist. I wait for someone to die and drop keys.

I am the captain of a ship drifting at sea and in no hurry to return home. I suspect turmoil awaits me there.

I am growing despondent day by day as my love continues to sleep.

I am a business owner, happily working at what I love to do. I have taken a lover that doesn’t smother me. Life couldn’t be better.

I am a wealthy business owner, growing weary with working round the clock and I am lonely. I am attracted to someone who is married but I am not the type to have an affair. Am I?

I am slowly healing from endless animal attacks that left me half dead.

I am traveling with someone who wants a relationship with me but I’m not really interested.

I am a business owner traveling on a resource run. It is good to be out and about after spending so much time indoors but my feeling of freedom is slightly impinged upon by time constraints that I have no power over.

[Torkess_theCommie]

I am not worth mentioning.
I am going to die if I don't get healing foods. DAMN ANIMALS!
I am sailing away with stolen(?) goods.
I am still wondering when I'm ever going to see land.
I am not worth mentioning
I am improving a road.
I am angry at the damned pirate whom was supposed to bring fortune!
I am meeting you at the next location.
I am not worth mentioning.
I am mapping this impossible island.
Je fais cuire les viande.

[Joshuamonkey]

Someone died, dropped the keys to just about every lock in town. I pick them up, got a better weapon and a bit of iron, handed someone all the keys. Although then a couple people started attacking me so I left...too bad I can't understand a word anyone's saying! - (Spanish)

[psymann]

I am...

• Determined to go home as promised some years ago, but afraid about what I might find there. Chopping wood in a friendly environment until I feel it is safe and desirable to return.
  
• Trying to start a small business, but still working for others to afford to set it up. Gradually feeling less frightened and more confident as I get used to people and the local community, but worried about accepting help when I have nothing to offer in return.
  
• Having a laugh and being part of the local organisation. Happy to do what's asked, but secretly hoping for something exciting to happen.
  
• Sitting around doing very little, my brain capacity not up to much other than doing what I'm told, and no-one's ever told me to do anything yet. Could turn out as a great law-enforcer or a dangerous criminal depending on who gets to me first...
  
• Enjoying surprising fortune, the world opening up in front of me. Some work to do yet before my dreams are realised, but recent events have conspired to assist me.
  
• Confused by people who don't act or speak the way they should, so am walking somewhere else.

As a player, I am...

Wondering whether I will soon have to kill one character, and slightly change the style of another, due to the number of page-loads they require to play as I intended. Too many page changes and too slow page loading = not enough time to RP their actions, let alone their speech.

Enjoying the fact I can play this in my own way and in my own time, and they don't all die if I go away for a few days.

This has identified the real importance of Cantr to my RL choices. Thank you psymann for pointing that out for me... I never quite understood

[Nakranoth]

Update time...

Happily playing with more new machines.

Growing bored with the same old things.

Somehow survived... by less than a day... now in good condicion.

Starting to feel distant from the woman I fell in love with.

Getting ready for a new trip... where's the blood?

Exhaused by all the drama.

Getting a bit restless... the newspawns are making it a bit more interesting though.

Moving home once again.

Almost finished a large contract.

In yet another very large contract.

Confused about who or what I am.

Seeking guidance from any who might be able to help.

Too busy to even think about being restless.

Away from home, and feeling a bit homesick.

I sail to my new life of...

Learning where needs what for optimal buying and selling points.

Alive, and doing well... Tandems are hard to build...

Bored and overburdened. There's only so much jerky you can hold.

Still a gnome... oh and I'm building a quarry it's really cool i'm having a lot of fun with...

Forever a gnome... the silly kind.

Working on some roads away from home...

Working to make something beautiful.

(new)Torn and hungry I shall not give up until the last drop of blood is sucked from me by the diezens of hell... my life is yours oh savior.

Back from the brink of insanity and death. The demon's shall not have my flesh.

(new)Followed a friend to the middle of a desert... I wasn't prepared for how far a walk it would be... some crazed, half starved man can't even see my friend.

Supprised to still be alive... now where has my friend gone?
(new)Mute and illiterate.

[CantrFreak]

I am a type of noble in the forest collecting rubber.

I am a villain who dreams to take over a town and is collecting resources he needs.

I am a citizen of Karnon aspiring to be in the army and is currently sailing the seas.

I am a on a mission with hopes of becoming an official in a town.

I am a revolutionist traveling with my allies to overtake a corrupted goverment.

[Turtle_jay]

I am...

A seemingly trustworthy, power hungry mercinary.

Making many enimys from trying to start a evil religion.

A man in his thirtys that is worst than your common "Thug".

A strong and stupid knight.

Ships captian who has been forgotten by all.

Probably the worst smelling man in Cantr.

Just another generic male character with nothing special to his name.

A man who became wealthy by others being killed by animals.

A flirty newspawn.


(As a player, I am not very active in the forums.)

[Joshuamonkey]

I suppose it is definitely time for an update.

I am..

A am a leader of a town built out of a massacre. We are doing very well.

I am still leading, finding some opposition between the previous leader and another citizen...

Shocked at the sudden imprisonment. I'm just trying to help...

I was starving, and killed myself.

Not so sad about my term as a councilor ending. I can get on with other things now.

And now I'm by the far my wealthiest character.

An explorer and trader, and learning a lot by just travelling along the coast to different towns...

Finally leaving one of the major towns. But my companion has been sleeping far too long...

Still the killer of Nick , and after getting back from another island I'm getting ready for a new target.

I'm bringing the dead from the war to the Memorial.

A leader of a nice little town that is increasing in posterity rapidly.

Doing nicer.

A life time councilor and part of something else as well...

Not much has happened.

I have finally decided to kill someone who I have an interesting history with. I also have an army supporting me..

She's dead, even if not by me. Now I want to take her place..

A high-ranking officer to a large town...

Not much has happened, other than suddenly the old are quitting and the new take their place.

A guard, gathering wood for a sloop.

Now I'm finished getting wood for the second sloop, and back at home.

Lucky to still be alive, and am having trouble with someone I thought was a friend.

Still alive, and that old friend is no longer. The town is doing well.

A leader of a small town, and will increase in posterity eventually ...maybe.

We're doing better now, but I lost a follower, literally lost.

A failed explorer, gathering wood for a sloop.

Maybe I should make a raker instead...

Doing fine, and planning on getting a car eventually.

The town's leader has become a lot more active, with me helping.

Estoy feliz que tengo un nuevo amigo, pero debo proteger él de los animales.

¡Estoy en una diversa ciudad, pero ahora es hora de explorar otra vez! He animado a algunos personas que viajen con mí.

[Yömyssy]

I am trying to get something to do.. Why aren't they online?
I am doing labour for attacking the whole town.. Got 1 year. Theyre getting sloppy ^^
I am an initiate for the Stone Knights, also trying to get something to do
I am listening someone argue about some arrangements
I am waiting for my first building to be registered.. And I'm improving a road
I am listening someone whine about their skills, hes a failure and i feel a lot better now

[Zanthos]

I am going on a major resource run for the promise of riches, but am in danger on starving on the way because I thought the cities were closer togeather.

making a gold ring for the girl I love

I am rotting away in a jail cell with two other people due to the introduction of a new religion which goes against everything I have ever been taught.

executed

I am trying to heal myself and make a good shield

Buinding a harbour, completly by myself...

I am trying to get the tools required to begin a music store, but have no idea where to get the resources required to make most of the instruments

Uumm, i really dont know who this one was, but I THINK he is the one who is trying to stir up a lot of trouble and instill a nationalistic (think fascist) attitude to bring his city back into glory

I am trying to start a new religion, and have one follower, though most people think i am crazy. I have enlisted the help of a very powerful person to get my temple built at long last.

Still dont have a temple, even though one of the town leaders said I could build it. The rest of the town seems to be warming to the idea. The one girl he ever liked had a heart attack, i dont think she ever knew his feelings.

I have arrived in a new land after a war that took me from my home, but i left voluntairly because I hated it there.

I am second in command of my new family, but fearful that we are a dying breed. Efforts to recruit new members have all failed.

I am sitting around doing nothing (x3) because these characters are boreing.

dead

a busy bee in a commune

I am sitting around doing nothing (x3) because these characters are boreing.

walking around polish zone cuz he understands nobody and nobody understands him. Might go to get iron, as he at least can understand that part of the map.

And then there are some other not very interesting ppl ;p

[Nick]

• I am enthusiastic in improving my town, and can't understand why everyone else isn't.
• I am a quickly rising soldier and diplomat. I'll be shaking things up even more soon enough.
• I am making tons of iron doing easy work, but I'm about ready to head out into the world and be a trader. This is too easy.
• I am running away from a slave driver I just outsmarted, and I am thrilled and proud of myself for being alive.
• I am lost, and regretting my decision of stealing this boat. Instead of seeing a bunch of people ignoring me, I see blue.
• I am deathly afraid of all of these animals! Holy moly.
• J'aime que le travaille que je faire est bon pour tout notre village.
• Je suis trés contente que j'ai des amis maintenant.

[hEarty]

I am (too lazy to go back and search for my old one):

A seamstress who has finally found happiness by the water making clothing for her loved one.

A woman who has slept for years only to wake to find that she is still on a boat with her loved one.

A woman who still feels lost within her own home and is pretending to sleep.

A woman waiting patiently for the answer to her dreams to arrive.

A woman who is lost in her own world after the two men who meant the most to her have passed away.

A woman locked in a tower with the man she loves and will have it no other way.

A woman who has recently had all of her cares taken away by the man that she loves.

A woman that will follow her man to the end of the world and back.

A woman who pretends to sleep because the town she is in no longer interests her but she has no desire to go anywhere else!

(Wow... Almost all of my girls are in love...)

[CantrFreak]

- I am person going to set up a new Commune at Sanctuary Mountain

[deadboy]

Trying something new with his life, and vaguely intriguing to him, and certainly benficial to the place he is in anyhow

Leaving for a very old home of his, that despite the fact he has some bad memories of it, it is the only place in his life that has given him good memories that haven't turned out bunk

A leader again, but a very busy one, and having one hundred pretty big problems thrown at him all at once

So almost home she can taste it! But worried about how much things will have changed

Facing loss with difficulty, and having difficulties expressing himself and becoming frustrated with it, especially as he is deeply saddened

A man with plans, who is slightly agitated at the seeming ineptitude of those around him. Everyone he needs to make his plans work keeps falling asleep!

Trying to reintergrate herself into the community

Absolutely distraught, on the verge of a mental breakdown if she hasn't had one already, confused, worried, fearing for her life, fearing for her friends life, mourning, fearing that her greatest friend was merely using her, but generally denying it in her mind, but there is the odd thread of doubt, and generally her life isn't going well

Trying some fairly new things for her, in the hopes of something or other that she isn't really sure about but someone said they'd do something with her and then they died so she's trying these knew things so that she can do the "real" version of what they were going to do

A girl I must've told you about who is stuck on an abandoned island with one other man/toy, and has her own sets of morality embedded in her head

A quite chirpy young woman who is setting out to join a new community, but it is quite far away

A very loyal soldier in an army, who seems to have chivalry in his blood because there is no other way he hasn't turned into a thief or a murderer with his opportunities

A man who just seems to be looking for trouble every way he turns

Dead (Didn't mean for him to die though ;() - Raphael Koahn

A leader for the second time in his life, of a completely new town, and mildly enjoying it, though its making him reminiscent of his old one

Making the town extremely strong and increasing its economic output almost daily. The one problem that is almost certainly going to destroy his attempts. Repairs. Thanks game mechanics (Is it possible to have a reasonably large town now days without every waking hour being spent repairing things? I bet getting rid of repairs is one thing that might make me like this game again)

Dead - Rachel Hope

Dead - Marlo

His plans of building a better business are coming along well, with its first outpost now set up, a strong work-force, and large stockpiles of resources to keep the motion along with

Alive but asleep

Dead - Susan Park

Dying off

Asleep but not because I particularly want her to be asleep, I'm trying to wake this character up so she can keep travelling
