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

[Kelli]

I am....

...Pissed beyond belief. A town should not fall apart because I leave.

Confused. I don't know who I am any more. My best friend is me now. So who am I? When will this nightmare end?

...waiting to get to the beach, but I've given up on men.

Quiet......so....quiet....but I did find him....why did I leave him? This is not the life I thought I would have.

...Not looking forward to recruiting simply because I will have to leave his side.

Dealing with the trauma better and better every day. Not leaving any more.

...In disbelief that we are STILL here. How much meat do we need?

Sad. What happened? Why are we still here?

...Sad. He seems to no longer care about me, and only cares about sleeping. Maybe I should just make this home.

WHYTHEHELLDIDHELEAVEMEINTHEMIDDLEOFTHAT?!?!!? *claws at eyeballs*

...Travelling. How many deserted towns can there be?!

Home again. No purpose. Quiet.

...Not liking this place. And gathering rubber is SO slow!

Travelling....just for the sake of leaving....I want to die in peace.

...Leaving. If they don't care that she died and I took her stuff, then neither do I.

.
Smiling. Now that the bastard is gone, I can enjoy the people here and what they have to offer.

..Slowly learning that love IS real....I need to forget my past and accept it.

Happy...I gave up on one thing, only to gain another, far more valuable thing! Oh, the joy!

...About to burst if someone doesn't play with me!!!!! *jumps up and down*

Tired of sitting on this bench. I wanna finish the drying rack mountain!!! Those potatoes dry sooooo slow!!!!

...Paloosh!

Forgetting that I am even existing.

...Building a boat named after an amazing man. I hope to find a friend to bring back to this paradise.

Promoted. Happy. Staying.

...Saving my hatred for now. But he WILL pay. If anyone so much as lays a finger on me after that, I WILL cut it off!

Giving up on it. Fuck.

...Wondering why everyone's lips move when they look at me. And wondering why he keeps taking me to the lighthouse every night. He seems to like it a lot.

.
Being kissed by everyone it seems. Why do they look at me like that? What was the stone for?

..Wanting something more.....but I can't express it to him. I can only listen.

Thrilled. I didn't have to express it. He did first. He accepts me the way I am...

[curious]

Battling butterflies
'Seeing' ghosts
Hopeless at making things
Bored, and want to walk away and die.
Crossing a line
Desperately shy

and oh yes...
Dead..!!

[BadMonkey]

I am....

Working. They like it when I work.

With the woman I love, yet feeling like things are going wrong.

Losing my innocence, but finding a friend and a strength I never suspected.

Debating whether to fulfill my promises. Deep down, i think I'm a nice guy.

Doing what I've always done. i could do more, but I'm too comfortable. Best to test myself in minor ways.

Taking on a role I never thought I would, or could. I don't want to.

Confused. Lost amongst the debris of history. This is not my place, but I can never get up the courage to leave.

[Tripkan]

I am...

Nothing.
Trying to relax.
Imploding with the need to GTFO.
Bored but not unhappy.
Scrambling to patch myself up and regain what's mine.
In another quiet town.
Regretting my choice.
Gathering for someone else for no reason, accompanied by a nut.
No idea what I'm doing or why I'm doing it.
Looking for a weapon and thinking of all the ugly things I could do.
Being driven insane in a pleasant way.
Resource hunting.
Really starting to get creeped out.
Working again.
Building an endless series of rooms, perhaps? WTF, woman.

[Chroma Key]

happy. Simple as that. But there is one whom I miss dearly...
Still happy... Yay for our ship!

working like a machine. The only way to get through this mess. It's our last chance.
"Selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle." He knew exactly how to handle me at my worst, so now he deserves me at my best.

having a change of career, at my ridiculously young age, and I already own so much. How did that come about?
On the road with a colleague, gossiping a LOT. We'll come back with some shiny goodies, in time for him to wake up.

a proud home owner. Yet my housemate is a true hermit.
Marrying the said housemate, now that everyone I care about is safely back home.

in a secret competition. Name of the game? Who is the shyest. So far, it's a draw.
He won but -I think- he loves me back. Oh and I've been crowned the master, well, mistress of my trade

getting on in years, yet I love whizzing around my island, re-exploring it. And she is my dear companion.
Still whizzing around our island with her. "I walk beside you, wherever you are, whatever it takes, no matter how far..."

not sure if my wife will even wake when I'm gone but I have to go back asap.
She's still asleep. Sigh...

a widower. At least she knew I came back for her.
Still grieving but I am now a man with purpose. Now for that car!

still sailing. Been travelling far longer than I care to remember. I am homesick, but he promised to take me back.
Home... What home? Everybody's either dead or gone. I am going back. To him, if I can find him.

finally doing something with this town. She is brilliant at organising everything, I am grateful for her being here.
Amazed at how much we've achieved. It helps that I'm an expert at so many things

trading. I'll venture out to the far away places soon.
Getting ready to sail! "A bottle of rum to warm me tum, and that's the life for me! A-har!

[Alladinsane]

-preparing for the trials and tests to come. I finally met her, then she died. Working

-Looking for something to make it official. Love rocks. working

-Everybody know I am in nowhere. working alot.

-travelling, will I get there before I starve? I'm working on it

-becoming a troglodyte.

-working, but it just keeps growing.

-This tea doesn't taste right, and its not working. Heat, air, moisture, and light...what am I missing?

-Working. Wait. I have to travel again.

[Snickie]

Chopping.....and still chopping......and singing a little here and there....but still aimlessly hacking away at wood Wind, mild spirit, controlled burn (fire), mild to moderate earth

Depressed. Why am I here? What does this place have in store for me? I'm tempted to steal a car and drive far, far away....but I couldn't live with the guilt of stealing it. So I'm stuck here in my misery. Earth

She never did officially respond, so I left her. She'll be fine.

Have my own room now! It's pretty sweet.

Ooohhh.....where am I? HI! Strong winds.

Making potato mash, and possibly starting a business...? Not that it was my idea.

This place is so quiet I can hear an ocelot's heartbeat. But at least I'm not alone, and I can still hit people with my waster. Earth, spirit

Edit: Trying out Seko's idea, with a little bit of elaboration as to levels and states of each element.

I couldn't finish this for my own characters, at least yet, but I have an idea for creative I ams using elements. Someone else could try it.

Earth describes how practical and down to earth the person is. A character heavily influenced by earth would like to work on projects, make plans and trade.

Fire describes the temper, tendency to violence but also how fiercely they defend their beliefs or how passionate they're about something that excites them.

Wind describes how random or weird a person is.

Water I think describes traveling and motion.

Spirit describes intuition, emotional aspects or understanding, and spirituality.

Characters would be likely to be a combination of several elements.

[n0p0etry]

...farming potatoes because I can't think of anything else to do right now...
...quietly working, it's nice to be outdoors again after that mess in Dory...
...a bit lonely, but will hopefully meet up with some folks after I finish this shield.. (there is NOTHING in the desert!)
...not sure how to feel about the passing of my friend...
...working on gathering more supplies, maybe I'll shove off soon, just a few more potato chips...
...more hemp to help out the tailors, maybe I'll get some better clothes in exchange! ...
...sick of everything changing, I wasn't there when she got hurt, I wasn't there when she left, my friends are acting all weird.. nothing to do except sulk and make gloves...
...mindlessly working on tools and enjoying getting to know my fellow adventurers...
...not feeling well, maybe it's all the unburied bodies, maybe it's these Spirits the Captain keeps talking about, who knows?
...not alone anymore, thanks to my two friends. I'm good at making aluminum, neat!
...I need clothes, this giant feathered cloak should do the job...
...it's such a sleepy town, hopefully these visitors will stir things up a bit...
...been working on this road FOREVER! But I guess I have nothing better to do *shrugs*...
...making clothes is awesome! I may not be the best, but by golly I'm having fun...
...it's nice to have all these resources, but I wonder about the people who left this place.. even with a couple of others here, it's quieter than where I spawned...

[mojomuppet]

Just sitting here working, because if I do what I need to do he will never see me the same light again. He ruined me and what I was, just because I stepped off a ship and he walked out of a building at the same time. *sigh* I couldnt stop it and I tried so hard.

Trying to be all the things I need to be and failing at them all. I wonder if they notice? I need to have conversations to set my mind at peace but Im busy, or she's busy, or...it just doesnt seem...oh hell. get back to work and do you job.

Happy for some peace in my town, but I think Im ignoring something I shouldn't. I cant keep up with them all. Well I could but they bitch when Im watching them, and bitch when I dont.

Bored and lonely even though Im around those that love me most.

Confused by my unwillingness to jump on a ship and leave. I may pay for this with our lives but Im like a deer in some headlights...what the heck are they doing?

Feeling like my patience is tried just for the heck of it. Im tired of killing and jailing people for laws that haven't been changed since way before I was spawned.

Working towards something that will never matter, and I will do it all my life.

Confused to see so many find me close to evilness when Im not. I was once the perfect man ! I should have never wavered..

Excited by this strange new land that lets me do whatever I want.

Missing my life of long ago. What happened to what I was?

Wishing I was dead. There is nothing here for me and I cant get out no matter how hard I try.

Doing my job. Its thankless and never ends. Im always three steps behind where I should be.

Holding on to a town full of riches but is worthless for anything else. My dress has no pockets. I cant even give it way, so I sit.

Disgusted by the amount of worthless people in town that do nothing other than cause drama.

So hoping I don't screw this up (Very nervous).
Ignoring ghosts (Contemplative)
On the road... being useful... maybe. (Happy).
In another town. Absolutely nothing here, but what i came for (Sad).
What line? I think I may lose my mind? (Lonely)
Keeping out the way, and keeping busy (Miserable)

Probably dragged back into a prison cell to rot. Better this than join them..!

[Snickie]

I am.... Seko's elements

Fire, controlled burn...too close....but so happy. But I miss home. I want to go back, but there are still things to be done...maps to translate...places to explore and things to get.
---Arson made into a brush fire…went from being the happiest woman in all of Cantr to mortally terrorized, angry, and afraid in the course of less than an hour. I just want to go home.
------travelling to take he who tried to kill us.
---------I killed him. And now we are safe and can go home again. But it cost us his life.
------------WHAT?! There's another one?! And she killed him!!???! *screams*
--------------- I killed her. And when we can finally be safe and go home, he breaks my heart.

mild earth, moderate water ...wondering where they are.
---earth and groundwater …going to need some serious therapy when this is over. Oh yeah, and it would be nice to know why everybody seems to wait for me to fall asleep to do anything that might be considered interesting.
------feeling strangely clueless, but at least I get paid well.
---------He's still using the well, so I am making a bucket while I wait.
------------This guy is seriously starting to annoy me. There's a note on the ground about this. Read it? Please?
--------------- Fishing....fishing.....this water looks awfully tempting.....

Water ...*He starts to nod off, then suddenly jerks his head up and looks around quickly. Upon seeing that the scenery is still the same, he starts nodding off again. The process repeats indefinitely*
---earth and water … -snore-
------more limestone! Is this all my life is about? Limestone? I'd much rather go sailing.
---------Limestone, limestone, and more limestone. Yay. -yawn-
------------All hail the shovel! *bows*
--------------- Going back. *falls asleep*

Hurricane force winds ...*excited gasp* Preeeeetttyyyy!
---F5 tornado winds …weasel soap operas. So fun to watch!
------picked up a new hobby: making clothes! Yay!
---------I learned a new number! Four! I guess he knew these dice would come in handy somehow.
------------*gasp* She's gone. YES!
--------------- Going to the place with trees again. It's where I spawned! This is awesome.

Low spirits ...Depressed. I made a huge mistake, and now I want to die. It's not as if I'm doing any good to the town, anyway.
---a quaint stream …Finding out that there is a way out without suicide. Will probably be going that way quite soon.
------wondering why we haven't left yet. Let's get going already. And while you're at it, would anybody care to tell me what's going on? I'm getting sick of putting a happy face on and pretending.
---------Running away: seems to be the only way I can get any information about anything. Depressed.
------------on the road to a new life. Finally. A little happier.
---------------Made it to our first destination. On our way to the second.

Earth and water ...Travelling.
---nothing really …kinda bored. Damn you, my player, for making me sleepy again.
------Made it there, and now digging really badly for salt.
---------I still love her. But she loves him. Whatever makes her happy, I guess... Oh, and more salt.
------------Back on the road.
--------------- Home again. Sleepy.

Earth ...Still making bowstring. *she yawns widely and slowly* Such a daunting and tedious task. Is there no end?
---Earth …The bowstring is done, moving on to the actual bow.
------holding two people prisoner just because they have scutums. This can't be right…
---------finally done with the second bow, and more visitors.
------------The strange visitors have left. It's back down to the five of us. How much longer until they have enough wood?
--------------- Oh, look, a newspawn. Not like the last one, but a newspawn nonetheless. It's been awhile since I've last seen one of those.
