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

[Wolf]

1. I be gettin' on me last nerves with folks ignorin' people lookin' fer trade, or fallin' asleep while discussin' trades, or folks in charge a' tradin' nay bein' in town.
If th'slackers be keepin' this up, I be runnin' 'em all out a' business, by jus' bein' th'one trader that folk lookin' fer good trade can come ta...

2. Still alive and kicking in my desert... enjoying an industrious desert life.
But slightly saddened by a young one who got under my skin in a good way, then died because I wasn't active enough.
Now there's a new youth and an upcoming festival in a neighboring place that's bound to be good for business.

3. Doing something I never thought I would, signing my town up for some alliance of sorts that I heard of in the past but that I've never seen around much.
Still, it's the sensible thing... as long as they don't take away my fun of killing rude hostile people... that's about all the fun I get these days...

4. Slowly improving my virtually extinct forest town.
At least the ones that annoyed me are now gone, dead or just missing, and a new youth showed up who appears slightly mallable... I'll take care of her, teach her some of the area's history, and hope that if I ever pass away at last, that she'll take over my place to care for it as I always have...

5. Sailing towards unknown islands, using a crude, incorrect atlas and some much too general directions given by strangers and friends.
Hopefully this longboat ahead of me is sailing there too and who-ever's on it knows the way.
But more likely they lead me into obvlivion... after all, anyone who knows the seas and shipbuilding would know a longboat would not be suitable for such a voyage...

6. Seeing the once numerous animals go extinct... no... the cute pelicans, and the other animals that were my town's only source of food and some basic materials... no... no...
But.... sometimes people start to show up here again, after all these years... and one says she's staying... it's good, even if she doesn't seem to be doing much and doesn't speak much.

7. Working, working, working in my room inside a building in the forest.
If I keep this up, I can start up a decent business in maybe under a year.
But the few times I come outside I see less and less people... and most of them speak a strange language now.
I don't trust them...

8. Digging gold in my lovely mountain town, all mine, my gold, my town, my buildings, my machines!!!
But I do like sharing whenewver some of my old friends show up so all is good.
If only they'd actually remember to bring me some tools and a bbetter hunting weapon once in a while, because all is good except that right now I'm just a digger, not able to hunt or work this gold into objects!!!

9. Was told to break a prisoner, killed someone, and am now... caught up in things I never wanted but also experiencing something great that I never experienced before...
I'm a true man of the sea, but for her I'd actually suffer the dirt of land under my feet.

10. Being functional, and a soldier.

11. Putting my hands to good use for my spawnplace while keeping my trap shut. Enuff said. Less talk, more work!

12. Enjoying fire.... fire... fi-reeeeeeee!!!!

13. Quietly gathering food and information, wondering which of these people will be the first to try and stab me in the back...
I swear, as soon as I gort enough food and maybe some basic tools at last, I'm high-tailing it for those mountains I've read and heard about!

14. Finally save from those murderous, pompous bastards... finally fed and finally able to gather some things and make some equipment.
But it doesn't feel like home here, a man dies and nobody notices, a thief steals and nobody cares, laws get broken and nobody is even shocked...
As friendly as this place is, those things do not make a home.
Maybe I should find those knights I heard of, and see if they take better care of their land and people.
If they do, I'm sure they'll let me stay there and help out too.

15. I'm... just a glint in my creator's eye when he looks at that big green smiley face... damnit why did the previous one have to die so soon... now it's taking forever before I can become more than a glint :p

[Alladinsane]

-Trying to show that I am more than just comic relief; but becoming a bit homophobic over threats that are probably just imaginary

-trying to find direction in a town where the only leadership is that someone is deigned to 'hold the keys'. At least I have made a few friends, and probably one enemy.

-foolishly trying to get 'closer' to a woman whose current man is much bigger,older,and stronger than I am. Plus I really like the guy. Its just these 'twenty-something' hormones are raging right now. I may not last.

-In a town where the leadership has recently been vacated. A theocracy may end up as the result and I am young, but not really open to that mumbo-jumbo. For now, I will just keep my head down and watch. I may have to make a decision soon.

[Bowser]

...alone. I have not seen another person since she had a heart attack years ago. I have metal making ability and just walked very far to get rubber to make a bike. I'm riding it back to my home where no one will be there to greet me. In 40 years I have accomplished as much as most small towns. I have all the tools, machines, weapons, and vehicles the usual civilized town has, but I have no one to share it with. i'm not talking about someone special to share it with, I mean there is noone around anywhere. I might as well be the last man on earth as far as I know.

....a wealthy man. I worked hard for a lot of years to aquire everything I ever wanted. You want it, I got it. Now I'm off to find some entertainment.

...a lucky man. I should be dead but I'm not. I lost it all but found a new path. Best part is that I don't have to be responsible for everyone all the time anymore.

...someone with a purpose. People keep dying on me and I have no one to tell me what to do anymore, then I found her. I just wish I could understand what she's saying.

...am sailing in the wrong direction. Everything I need is the other way. I'll turn around now.

...running resources, emotionally a wreck, but trying to come off cool and laid back.

...hoping to make it to the next town before I starve. i've worked so hard to get where I am now, how could I be so stupid and let my food supply get so low.

...pushing a wooden cart around an emplty countryside, seeing a rare note or hunter's left overs. No reason to stay in one place for very long. I was sent out to find limestone but haven't seen any in the last 50 locations. I wouldn't even know how to get back to my starting point if did find some.

...made a bad decision and lost it all.

...someone who thought they found a great town but the honeymoon period has worn off and it's the same as th eother places I've been.

[Doug R.]

...alone.

This made me sad.

...someone with a purpose. People keep dying on me and I have no one to tell me what to do anymore, then I found her. I just wish I could understand what she's saying.

This made me laugh.

[Helmaroc]

I am...

Wondering when we'll get around to her ceremony.

Living quietly and peacefully.

Walking with her and the girl who tried to take our cart.

She's dead, I need to get back home.

Heading to the forest to gather wood.

I've arrived at this forest...I really have nothing to do.

They locked me up...I wonder if the angry fellow will come in and chop off my top like the others, or if he wants me to starve. Or maybe they're going to set me free!

Waiting for the girl in town to wake up so we can go!

Working toward my motorcycle.

Adding a suite to my castle - the best castle ever!

Watching.

Helping out the pretty girl in the castle...though I feel rather surrounded now...

[Rebma]

Woo, been awhile..

I am..

..back with him, and happier for it. Though her words confuse me, I'll keep my mouth shut. Those years apart almost killed me.

..pleasantly amused by this guy, and happy to have an old friend in town. Hoping to steer her away from a life like mine, one of costant misery. Tense for the next few days.

..working

..trying not to make her sad with me. We -were- all having fun..

..building a lock. The dream I stole from someone else and ran with has come a long way. Once production is up, we'll be golden.

..definitely -not- working

..working. Becoming a bit more comfortable around a few.

..messed up and aware of it. If he knew what I thought about while I watched him sleep...well...I'm sure he does..

..travelling

..picking grapes.

..an empty vessol, but I can't die until I reach 25, 'cos my player will be frustrated checking the blocked slot for forever.

..scheming to get his wife when he goes on his trip

..trying to stay cheerful, and about to go on a trip.

..sooo uncomfortable in this hating place

..something new to look at, apparently..


(Yes, I did cave, and now have all 15 slots full.)

[Mitch79]

(Yes, I did cave, and now have all 15 slots full.)

Shame on you....

[AlchemicRaker]

I am...

...proud. What else would he be, excited? Yeah, he's probably excited now, too.

...vigilant. And determined.

...determined. To leave. I should create another character before leaving, just to make sure I don't end up here, again. That's not CRB, is it?

...stunned, sort of. Not sure what to do next.

...cool. I wonder where I am.

...wrapping up an encounter. Interested in what will happen next.

...worried. I sure as heck wasn't expecting this to happen.

...going to return with the target or with justice. I see the opportunity to make this a hilarious char, but would be completely OOC.

...quite dull. I moved from an inactive town to an active town, and I'm just as silent as before.

...anxious. Why is it quiet now? And what the heck happened?

...satisfied. Quiet, but I was expecting it to be this way.

[the_antisocial_hermit]

I am:

Seeing people for the first time in.. 20 years? Or has it been more? Less? They speak the strange language of the man I last met.

Sitting here, waiting. I made a decision, but now I must wait for someone to arrive.

Happy and keeping a secret, a gooood secret. Secrets are fun, but who know how much?! I'm not really sure what's going to happen, but I'm happy.

Uncertain of any decisions I've ever made thus far in my life, especially a more recent one. I have no backbone. I shouldn't have said what I said.. but what if what I said is really how I feel? I'm just not sure! I didn't expect forgiveness!

Kind of just sitting around. I should see if they need any help...

Helping as best I can! This place is great, even though it's been a bit quieter lately. That one girl isn't quite as mean as I originally thought.

[Doug R.]

...determined. To leave. I should create another character before leaving, just to make sure I don't end up here, again. That's not CRB, is it?

No, it's very smart

[KAOS]

I am..

...working in a little town with nice people - hope, I will get to know them better and make friends, but unfortunately I'm a bit shy.
Still working and still very quiet. Sometimes I feel sad cause my people skills are so "novicely".
What else should I say? I hope I'll lose my shyness when our guests arrive.

...bored and lonely at the end of the world, working hard with some quiet people I barely know, not knowing if it's worth it.
I decided it wasn't worth staying, so I left for travelling around with someone. Now he fell asleep - but anyway, if he'll wake again or not, I'll make my way.
Still alone, but I enjoy wandering around and I know I won't be alone forever. I'm sure in the next town I'll meet some nice people. I'm hungry for life!

...living in a wonderful town, enjoying life and exploring the world in my own way.
Sometimes it's boring but I still like it here! And eventually I found a few things I'm good at.
There are so many people, always action! But also conflicts and death and this stupid, selfish guy who made me REALLY angry.. Hope I won't have to see him again!

...on the way since I recently awoke, and hardly knowing myself.
Now living in a small town, feeling this could be my home.
Working on improving our small community.

...curious about everything and happy though people hardly understand me. Life is simple and wonderful!
I'm so glad he is here! He is the only person who understands me. Ok, not really.. but better than anyone else does.

[raspberrytea]

I am...

... seeing this town grow. I wonder who this new visitor is.

... finally going home! With new friends!

... still farming tomatoes. Will I ever get that smelting furnace built?

... silently gathering food for a sailing trip. I'm sick of these people.

... finishing up tasks to repay a friend's kindness before I go back to my travels.

... working and listening, contemplating the fate of my last companion.

... working with no goal in mind. There's nothing left holding me to this town, but there's nothing anywhere else either.

... prancing around and feeling a wee bit ignored.

... on my way home, sort of, and looking forward to a lot of things.

... uncertain and dying.

... sailing away from this stupid island in search of wood, and wishing I had a better map.

... heading back to the forest with small treasures.

... cooking. Always cooking.

[Miri]

I am:

- hoping everything will be all right now, but still feeling uneasy about the mystery

- on my way home, sort of, and looking forward to a lot of things

- wondering if we'll ever see a leopard again here

- pumping for oil

- so happy with my new violin

- getting cotton for clothing, any clothing

- getting to like this place more and more, and people too

- trying to spot any non-sleeper in this sleepy town, and so happy when succeed

[FrankieLeonie]

I am.....

Happy I am back at sea, hoping I can convince this guy to trade me the things I need when I arrive so I can get this great deal, but still sad over the loss of our leader

Can't wait until I kill this foreigner and take all his things, how dare he be on MY land

Traveling on another sand road, wanting to get this job done and head back home. I wonder if she will be back when I get there

Hoping the spirits will talk to me again, and hoping she will get here soon with the body for sacrifice

[Doug R.]

I am...

...home.
...proud of myself, and also not ashamed to sleep because I'm bored. This is how you survive.
...on the road again after a long time, but trade prospects are non-existant.
...confused. Doing my thing seems to be destined to come to an end. Time for a new thing?
...in love!
...encouraged. I think this one will work out exceptionally well.
...sad. Everyone's so quiet.
...madly in love, but afraid of my desire.
...depressed. More than anything, I want to flee from this. I never wanted to be a leader, especially a leader alone with his own thoughts of uncertainty.
...happy! I saved her...even though to do so I had to kill her. On to the next...or starvation. Let's see what's at the end of this road.
...terribly lonely, surrounded by nice enough people. What is it that I'm looking for? Why do I feel so lonely?
