[Miri]

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.

All right, trying

- spirit/earth - growing herbs... more and more
- fire/water, but changing every few days (previously fire/earth, had some wind and spirit moments, too) - that felt... good no wonder I've been really feeling like it for a while
- earth/spirit - kitties are back
- earth/fire - drilll..*coughs* building. And you forgot about wind! We're all windy here!
- spirit/water - working... wonder if they'd like my music
- earth/water - working and wondering what to do with my own apartment...
- water/earth - would be if my damn player cared to play me
- water/spirit/fire...? - got a vehicle... now some more gathering and I an go home
- water/fire/earth? - working... and gathering tales
- wind/water - working... got to earn your wings before you can spread them, but when we finally do...

and... since he's still blocking a slot:
- wind/earth - buggred porkhog!

[Chaos]

Spirit, earth- and a hint of fire. -Trying to focus more on the present and less on the past. Not interested in the future yet.
All fire, all the time. -Confused, angry with both of them.
Earth and fire. -Level headed, dedicated as always.
Spirit, fire, and wind. -Falling for someone again, already knowing it will end badly.
Water and fire. -Curious as to where we'll stop, and when, if ever.
Wind and water. - I just want to go- see places, meet people.
Wind and fire. - Is this really my life? It seems so surreal.
Too soon to tell. Maybe earth?

[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?
.........Nightmare ended. I'm gonna start over. But if he -ever- crosses my path....

...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.
............Well, maybe I gave up too soon. Now if only we would quit being so stubborn as to wait for the other person to say it first.

...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.
.........Getting to know him better. Sometimes the memory still haunts me..I can't be around men alone any more. Unless it's him. I love him.

...In disbelief that we are STILL here. How much meat do we need?
......Sad. What happened? Why are we still here?
.........He woke up more often until she fell asleep. I wish she would awake again, so that he would. I'm so ready to move on.

...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*
.........Trying...to find a reason...not to go mad. I need to kill someone. It's him....he's responsible for my lover's death.....Time to go back to my roots.

...Travelling. How many deserted towns can there be?!
......Home again. No purpose. Quiet.
.........Ran off again. I regret it...again. But I can't go back now.

...Not liking this place. And gathering rubber is SO slow!
......Travelling....just for the sake of leaving....I want to die in peace.
.........Found a desert. Maybe I can die in piece here. Why did I even bother asking for food? Where did I get all this stuff?

...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.
.........Making big plans for the navy-to-be. But I also want to be out on the water again. It's been too long. I need to go back and get that van.

...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!
.........Still happy. Quiet, but content. Never gonna be sad again.

...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!!!!
.........Confused about why everyone is slapping me suddenly. And why is she sick?! I'm gonna die of boredom! I'm slowly losing my will to play games! I want to run away! But I cant! *squeaks*

...Paloosh!
......Forgetting that I am even existing.
.........Almost died from the animals, but barely noticed. Looking for him now. Paloosh, where is he?! Is....is anyone on this godforsaken island at all?!

...Building a boat named after an amazing man. I hope to find a friend to bring back to this paradise.
......Promoted. Happy. Staying.
.........Distraught! For awhile, there was promise! Now, it's all gone. And...he died...and I never told him......

...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
.........Enjoying slicing my life away one day at a time....I should dull my knife to make it last longer.

...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?
.........Ran off and came back broken. Where am I? Who are these people? Why does he care so much? Why are the animals watching me?

...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...
.........Now that it's been said, it doesn't seem that there is much more to say. Waiting to build our house!

[Joshuamonkey]

A town should not fall apart because I leave.

*sigh* That happens..


I am

Working peacefully with others.

Sad, annoyed, inspired, and bewildered.

Glad that there's at least a few people; trying to keep things going.

Trying to find new things to do with all these resources.

Helping a once great town get back on its feet.

Not sure what to do next. Explore?

Keeping a town on its feet.

Progressing, but a bit frustrated.

Progressing slowly; needing active help, and needing iron and steel.

In bad luck and a bit bored, but I may as well stay alive.

Working.

Frustrado! Pero al menos puedo abastecerse de arroz y aceite.

No estoy seguro de qué hacer.

[Missy]

I am work work work, all day, every day but about to embark on a trip for resources and Im excited about that.

[rain21]

Sitting by the fire wondering if I have become too comfortable in this town and with these people.

Wondering who keeps stealing my food

Sitting next to my sleeping friend hoping that he will die soon so that I can leave the town without guilt

Hoping one day I will travel and see the world

Earning my way, with a little patience i'll be able to make a name for myself.

Looking for a town that needs a doctor

Collecting wood to build a boat and get off the crazy island

Recruiting strong men, i'm determined to make this town mine. They will never suspect me.

Once I have my weapon nothing can stop me

[Mr. Black]

I am...

....poor as hell, but happy.

....building a house!

....building a cart so I can ride around yelling "whee!"

....just a solid working man. *grins*

....alone and very happy about it.

....leaving the people, I hate the people!

....wondering why someone would just follow me and hit me, then turn around.

....making good my escape.

....working my way to a boat. One day I'll be rich!

....standing outside, basking in the desert sun.

....coiling the rope wrong, as usual.

....*grunts*

[SekoETC]

I am...
...hoping to get some trades, but I already got one better than I could hope for, so even if it turned out to be the only one, I'd still be happy.
...glad she's awake but still hoping for something more.
...out of town and enjoying it so far.
...sailing again after spending a while trying to learn a new language and getting frustrated with it.
...tired of waiting, hoping we'd make some progress.
...so booooooored and hating the silence. The others are alive but they're not living. I wish they'd just drop dead.
...building stuff and feeling more alive than in a long while.
...sailing alone after killing her. I feel hollow.
...waiting for my boyfriend to drop dead since he's disappointed me with all that sleeping.
...much better now.
...sleeping as usual.
...idle.
...gathering wood for a storage room.

Quote pyramid huzzah!

• being a general nuisance, albeit a rather cheerful one.

-Going to somewhere exciting! We're getting copper! I love my sister! YAY!

Going back home! Hunting is fun! I want to stay out longer!

Gathering resources. But I'm not so happy right now... someone very close to me died. At least I still have my sister.

Terribly bored, continuing one of my grand plans. I'd like to go to that new island...

Still bored, still looking for something to do.

Bringing one of my schemes back to life. Yay!

Returning back to work after a brief spell of introspection.

Falling in love, maybe?! If only he and I didn't sleep so much.

Being quite sleepy. I'm not sure what to do with myself anymore. I maybe could've had something, but now I think it's too late.

I can't believe it. What has this place come to? There's not much to be happy about anymore; if I don't find myself something to do, or if something else bad happens, I'm going to snap.

Dead (by accident I had thought to myself, "jee, I haven't checked her hunger in a long time", and when I did it was 100%. She grabbed some food but died anyway.).

Falling in love with one of the three men I've ever known.

Slowly bringing myself back to health, worried about how sleepy my love is.

Beginning to hallucinate, far, far away from home.

Finally getting out of these woods. Is one of the newspawns an ambassador?

Newspawns, newspawns! Mother gives them the strangest ideas about the world.

Getting over him by trying to find him.

I've been told the most exciting news ever in my life: we might be going home. I hope he didn't lead me astray.

All that excitement for nothing. I wish I had a better memory so I could teach them a lesson, but they may have died. Then a flurry of excitement, but now that's gone too. Newspawns are still strange.

I had my hopes raised and then crushed by a chance encounter ((OOC: Incidentally, with a character the first character would probably hero worship!)). But now I'm picking up the pieces. The newspawns seem worried about me... they don't seem to realize that even a faint smile is the first one I've had for a long, long time.

I... I can't believe it. This is... amazing. Am I hallucinating? This can't be possible. This is the best thing that could ever happen to me. Well, the second best, I suppose, but the best ain't happening. I can't believe it!

(I can't believe it OOC either... I guess I'll be playing Cantr for a while, now! )

I'm looking for somewhere... I dunno where... but I might be able to do fun stuff in the shiny thingy!

I'm in a shiny thingy right now, and we're going somewhere, and it's the coolest thing ever, and I'm gonna get one of my own!

I got a big shiny thing and it's so awesome but everyone's asleep.

Being in a shiny thingy isn't as cool as I thought. Sleeping.

Dead.

New: Away from home for the first time, enjoying every moment with my boyfriend by my side. I can't believe such happiness came out of such horror.

I miss him so much. My heart aches for him. I'll go on, of course... it was meant to be. But I'm not feeling very useful.

Dead.
