[kinvoya]

I WAS: A sweet, simple girl who loved to garden. Kidnapped and murdered by evil foreigners without reason just when I was starting to have a life.

[Debsy]

I'm waiting...Seems I've done nothing but wait my entire life. When is she going to get back? We can't get married until she does. I don't want her to miss it. She's the only one that's been my friend since the day I spawned and I want her to be there...One more year...I really hope she gets back by then...

Stupid rhinos...stupid rhinos...I hate rhinos. (Dead)

Ahh...I can finally stop worrying. He's home, he's safe. He still doesn't care at all about me, it seems. I wish there was some way I could make him see that she's not interested...She'll never be interested...He doesn't like how I love killing so much, I've tried to change, but I just can't...Why is it so hard?

Wow, so many good things happened to me these last few years. I have an amazing husband, and...well, I won't tell too much about how I'm next in line to lead this town. I'll save that for a day that I'm not busy.

I've had such a rough time these last few years. He sleeps...Jos, he sleeps. That's all he does it seems. Finally he woke up. When I went to John's funeral. He followed me. And now I'm home, and waiting for him to get home too. Can't wait until we can have our ceremony finally. I'm so excited.

I thought it was rough then...He died. Many of my friends have died...one just recently. And I've had a rough time dealing with something very intense for me. Too bad no one believes me. Just because I was one of those doesn't mean I should have been. Just because I had the smarts didn't mean I had the mental capacity to handle myself. I took a test. A TEST! They let me join. Well guess what. When things got tough, I quit. Remember? Anyway, I've been crushing on this other guy...that I didn't think I should have been crushing on...but he has been feeling the same about me too, which I knew...But now I find it hard to talk to him since our friend has died...

What am I doing? I'm so confused...I can't believe I trusted him. I tried to convince everyone he was harmless. That he wouldn't hurt anyone. We both trusted him. Now I'm here, I don't think very many people trust me any more, and now the one man who's ever cared so deeply for me is sleeping...He's sleeping, he didn't even wake up. He has no idea what's happened.

We've left home. Long time ago now...But one of my best friends has been killed by those elephants. Those creatures I once thought were so grand. They trampled him. Now I don't know what to do, I nearly left my husband so I could go die...But somehow...I was talked out of it. I'm not so sure whether I'm glad...or not glad...

Happily married, that's what I am. I love my husband. We're planning to go away for some time, too. See some new places. I'd love to open up some sort of shop, but what kind would that be...? I don't know....Did I mention how much I love my husband?

I still love him. More than anything, but what he did. I don't know if I can forgive him for it. It's been so many years since I've seen him. I wonder if he's still alive. I can't believe I've left him like that. I should check on him....

I'm just a lonely 38 yr old woman. I've been rejected countless times. I'm losing my interest in men...They all hate the water, I love it. They never want to come with us...When I finally find the one I really like...It doesn't even seem like he cares...Why can't I just find one who will be willing to give up land...travel with us...

Not so lonely any more. I've finally...after what...thirty years? I've finally met someone who cares about me. Someone who treats me like I'm special, like I'm...beautiful. Someone I enjoy being around and who enjoys being with me. We're going on a trip, a long one...I hope we have so much fun...

So many...So many have died. Best friends, boyfriends, lovers. And now it won't stop. Those pirates are dead, yet they still keep dying. Will I be the only one left....? I don't want to lose any more...No more...

Still dying...None I am truely close with. But they're still dying. The young ones. I guess they just give up. I don't really know why. Now I'm trying to tell everyone that my husband and I are adopting someone, but I can't find the right time...My husband's hardly ever awake, and the people I wanted to know aren't even outside any more. Not to mention the one that will be our son left on a short trip.

I can't believe he's dead...I loved him. I loved him more than anything, I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. Why did he have to starve? How could he not feed himself? You say he didn't do it on purpose, but how can someone not know they're hungry?

It was too much for me. I couldn't handle it. Too much strain on me. I told them I wouldn't give up...I told them I wouldn't starve...But I did it anyway. I don't know why. I just missed him too much. (Dead)

I don't know what to do. I want to retire. I really do. I hate my life since joining the marines. I hate that man. I hate him more than I hate my life. He's the reason I hate it. If he hadn't asked me to join...Now, I'm having problems...difficulties. I don't know if I want to get married any more...

I'm married. But to his best friend. I left him, finally. He took it...better than I expected, but not the news that I was with his best friend. Now he's dead...And I miss him so much. My husband misses him..Not to mention our other friends as well. There are more. But I won't get into that right now. I'm dealing with difficult times right now, with my husband's help...I just hope they don't get away...

Two....How can I lose two of them? Married twice. He promised me he wouldn't die...not like the first. He promised...Yet he did. He died just like the other. I don't know what to do any more. Maybe...maybe I'll just lie here...I've run out of food. I get so hungry, yet I don't feel it at all...Maybe...just a little longer.

Tried with another, he just insulted me. I kissed him, and it was "just a touch to the arm" to him. How can a kiss be something so simple like that? A kiss means something...Anyway, I've forgotten all about him. Good riddance. I've got me a bike now, and I'm going to travel...I'm going to travel like I've never traveled before.

I don't believe in what I used to. Not any more. No, she'll have to find another priestess...Or maybe she'll just do away with all this. Just run the town. I never really understood what I believed anyway. Now, I feel like I must be cold. I can't let anyone be more than acquaintances. That's all they'll be. I won't fall in love again...

I was stupid to run from my beliefs...Stupid...I've been punished. I fell in love with her...I can't believe I did. She was so sweet to me. She was nothing like the two men I was with. She was different...she was sweet. I really did love her more than anything...I just wish I could have said it one more time to her..before... (Dead)

Oh my! I'm getting a pretty sword! I can't believe he's getting all this stuff for me! He must really love me. He's so sweet...I don't know..maybe a little too sweet...I like him a lot..maybe I love him. But he's just....a little too...I don't know. Maybe when we dock again I'll run for it. I won't tell him why, or where I'm going...Maybe it won't hurt him as much that way...Or maybe I'll just stay...I don't know what to do...

I forgot to eat...how could I forget to eat... (Dead)

Bodies...everywhere....1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.....get them away. Let me out! I won't say another word! I promise! Just get me away from them! They're staring at me! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7....They won't stop. 5 days...5 days...I don't think I can handle 5 days in here! Move me somewhere else...anywhere...Just not here...

I'm gone. I'm gone from that place and I'll never go back...unless I can kill...her. Bodies still scare the hell out of me...even my late fiance's body. I found it very difficult to be able to even move her. Now I'm out and about with plenty of lovely women...who can't keep their hands off me, what's that about?

Ahh...Fixing roads. This is the life. I think...Ever since I joined em. I don't know...I've felt more accepted. Especially with her. I love her. I don't know why it was so hard for me to say that at first...that I love her. I guess I just didn't want to scare her away. Well at least I'm happy...She's happy, I think...And...wait...is that a crawling rock

Crawling rocks...why do I see crawling rocks everywhere? Oh wait...No I don't. I see nothing. I starved....(Dead)

NEW:

Got myself a boat. Two actually. A nice fast one, and one to...keep my personal things on...mainly my healing food. I'm going to need lots of it. I know I will. These people need a bit of interest in their lives. They need something to spice things up. Get ready! I'm coming!

Married already. I don't even think I'm thirty. My business is slow getting it up and running, but I've already got two willing employees. I'm really looking forward to how this is going to work. It's been my dream since I spawned, and my husband's been nothing but supportive, even helpful.

Fixin cars...fixin roads...fixin cars...fixin roads....That all Chuck do...Chuck bored of fixin cars...fixin roads...fixin cars...fixin roads....

I'm running around an Island...and...well that's about it. There's hardly any people here...Help me...I've got to find something else to do with my life...Sorry, friend, but this just bores me so much that I want to die, almost.

I couldn't have found a better place. All the women here adore me it seems. And I'm building myself up a reputation here. Not somewhere I'd like to stay, but most definitely I'll be back. I promise, ladies. I'll be back.

[Zanthos]

I'm gona order this to match my charrie list...

making a gold ring for the girl I love

She loves the ring! I am so happy, we are finally an official coupple. However, we still can not go on our long awaited trip...

Building a harbour, completly by myself...

yep... not knowing the ways of trade, i think i got cheated out of a large sum of wood, but i healed 20 percent damage that i couldnt heal otherwise, so i am happy. the wood is easy to get anyway.

*well, i think i mislabled an older one... but anyway*
Working hard to make his town a leader in fuel export and uphold the principles of his knighly order.

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.

Depressed... He is looking to his god for guidance and wondering why the people he wants to be close to die. (eg, his first follower and the one girl he has ever had feelings for)

Has all the resources necessary to build a new ship... almost. Needs more iron... and a crew... and weapons and protection... and then stuff to set up a colony in the new world. It will still be many years yet.

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.

Nothing new to report here

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

yeah, things are moving... slowly. He knows patience is a requirement, but im beginning to doubt whether or not my plans will ever come to fruition...

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.

lost his friend who was in a cart while he walked on foot... his friend went too far ahead. Suffering from the fate of being terrible at all forms of manufacture... wants to find someone else who speaks his language.

a busy bee in a commune

yep...

Not much to report here, walked across the desert in search of purpose, and stumbled upon a promissing place. However, recent events and the death of a leader means this young man has gone mostly unnoticed.

[Surly]

Well, it has been 10 months since I wrote this... a long time in Cantr. So, what has changed?

1. Veteran of the later Lad conflict, has found love with a distant Queen, who sleeps a lot. He is unsure what to do now.

The Queen is long dead, but now he is the power in that kingdom... trying to reestablish his company and get new members.

He found a love, who he nearly lost through sleeping. Now she sleeps... but he'll stay loyal.

3. Is finally starting to escape the memories that haunt him. Looking to the future, and it is bright.

The future stalled, with repeated setbacks... Maybe it will be right again, but right now it is clouded.

I find comfort in baking again. With my love, even she sleeps, by my side... life is good.

4. Married, and has a comfortable life. But his wife has started to sleep... and he is racked with doubts.

Man did his life change... he left his wife for another woman, resigned his position and left his home... but a bad misjudgement left him with no possessions and only 6% health... and despite escaping those who set him up, he is a prisoner elsewhere.

Dead

5. A rather boring character, really. Found love, and is just trying to hold onto it.

Nothing changed here... his whole life is dedicated to making his wife happy.

She is the most incredible woman. She stays by my side through everything... the sleeping, the sickness, the silence... I love her more than anything, and she is my sole purpose for living.

6. Trying to fulfil a legacy he practically worships, to bring glory to the name of a woman he loved - but who died over 15 years ago, and likely no-one remembers, and who didn't really know who he was.

Maybe he is close to fulfilling that dream... and he found love on the way.

If only people didn't keep dying... his home is now an iron production factory... just need people to man it.

7. Head of a religious order. Has doubts about the future, and is feeling isolated by the death of all his old friends.

Ditto

Dead

8. Wanderer who has travelled for the past 10 years with his younger wife. Is finally heading home, so they can build a boat.

They never built that boat... instead he built a motorbike and left his wife... and is on the verge of becoming the greatest cartographer ever known

He made his map, and is now measuring roads... but his wife is dead.

9. Ex-guard of a backwater nation, devastated by the death of the woman he worshipped. Suffered a mental slip and is optimistic by ignoring the truth.

He left that nation, and led an expedition to new lands. That place is thriving, yet he is still haunted by the guilt of his past deeds.

Dead

10. Travelling merchant who is returning home with his new wife after yet another successful trip

They have been married 20 years now, and he is still as happy as ever. He left his home after it became a crummy place to live... now his wife and him live on their boat, still so very happy.

30 years but no need to count... they will be together for ever. But struggling to care about being a merchant in a stagnant economy.

12. Nearing retirement, he is ready to start a new chapter in his life. Still bound by the bonds he feels for other people, but is hoping for a happier future.

Retired long since. Ran off with his best friends partner, who has become his best friend... some choices to make soon... he really has to make them soon.

Dead

13. Member of a growing family, he has fallen for another mans partner and is torn as to whether to tell her or keep quiet.

He told her, and they now have a daughter together. He has great plans for his family, and they may finally be realised... but he really doesn't want to be the leader he is gradually becoming...

His daughter now has a son... his family continues to grow.

16. I AM a young seamstress who only wanted clothes... but found so very, very much more. So very happy now, life could not be better... oh, and I got those clothes

Found true love... life is awesome.

-I am the figurehead leader of a town, utterly discontent and bored.

Sounds familiar, although I don't think it is who I think it is

[CantrFreak]

5. Ready to overthrow a goverment, onward with the Nationalist Movement!

[Joshuamonkey]

seems like you guyses characters are pretty similar stories...especially 3shyof30rats.

[Debsy]

Yeah...a few of mine are pretty much the same, but dude, this is only the basics, of course they'll all be similar. Don't want to give out so much information that we're stepping on the 4 day rule, do we?

[Joshuamonkey]

I guess...

[Antacid]

I Am....

An asparagus salesman building a sloop to expand his business

Got the sloop, moved on to selling more valuable things, got some good trade agreements set up, looking good

Everyone on his trade route is very sleepy, but he has a tandem now too. Business slowly grows.

A trader aboard a darter with my long-time trading partner

Went exploring with said friend on said darter, found a new island where we still haven't seen another English char, lots of foreigners, this place is HUGE it's a continent. Found an abandoned Raker and another longboat, we went from one to three boats for free and found other abandoned boats that we raided, lots of fun, free crowbars, iron shields, lots of tools, yippie!

Found Swedish chars, German chars, Dutch chars, and the Turkish homeland.

A co-leader of a prosperous small town with an important resource to sell

We're doing A LOT better than that now, we've taken off and are starting an economic revolution

Economic plans are moving forward. People are mostly receptive to the idea.

A long-time resident of a town who is secretly trying to produce iron inside a building he owns

No more secret iron, he's now a good old citizen who's gone on trade runs and missions for his town and is becoming more influential there

He's been elected to the Council, but lots of people have been dieing. The region itself has an uncertain future.

A vengeful man who spent his whole life making someone miserable, but now that someone is dead for other reasons, so he has no purpose now.

He's resolved to sneakily and slowly build up a good reputation and get into a good position and then strike to cause havoc, which he's always loved, but no one alive now knows about it, save for one.

Now he is the regional head of a company, and is working towards his devilish aims in secret.

A frustrated young man in an old city

No longer frustrated, he's quickly assuming a position of power in his very old, famous city that's fallen on hard times

Not much happening.

A REALLY frustrated young man in port city

Not so frustrated anymore, things are looking okay, but if he ever sees that guy who caused his frustration again... HEADS ARE GONNA ROLL

He did see the guy again, but he paid him back so it's all okay. Now chasing pirates.

An native of a new land who has joined a crew to explore it

Pretty much same story as above

Not much is new here.

A guy traveling around trading

He got frustrated with his life of working hard for so little gain, and snapped on his boat alone to become a thief

Ironically, he got away with stealing a boat load of goods but no one across half of a continent has wanted to buy any of it.

A guy just traveling around, not trading

Enslaved. He's more interesting now.

Not enslaved anymore! ESCAPED!

Someone helping start up a new community

It's taking awhile to develop, but's it's steadfastly getting there.

Very slow-going. A tandem is in the works, that's how advanced we are.

A blacksmith worker

He's an established citizen, got some nice things, not much going on

Not much ever goes on. He's that old-town char that wakes up to chase thieves but otherwise just sits there. His boss wont wake up.

A bored worker

He's been kept busy now, his town is his life, he's getting a bit of responsibility and the future could be bright

Everything has gone dull, his boss too is always asleep.

A boat thief who practically started a war when he stole a boat, a guard chased him, and then the guard proceeded to anger the other town by attacking me. Now I am being rehabilitated by a well-known, powerful group. Throughout the whole ordeal I never got a scratch.

That's all behind him, now he is a full member of the group that rehabilitated him.
Still might be an execution warrant in that spawnplace though...

Getting more stuff and moving higher up into the group's ranks.

In a violent wilderness in a struggling outpost trying to get on its feet, but facing disaster after disaster. Who knows what's going to happen next.

He runs the wilderness town (he's the only one there) with a huge load of nice items, but the loneliness and animals are getting to him so he may crack and get a little insane sometime soon.[/quote]

[Nixit]

I am in prison for life, tormented by my actions, but even more by the thoughts that surround them.

I am out of jail, but all that's changed is I toil outside. I am disconnected from everyone, and I do not feel worthy to be in anyone's presence here.

I am in a prison like place, and have been for over 8 years. I am the oldest in this wretched place, but I faith that one day I will be free. One day.

I am free!! I am free I am free! After fifteen years I am no longer bound by that horrible man! While I am still trying to get home and regroup with all other escapees and bring that man to his death, I am feeling the joy of freedom on the inside.

I am sleeping.

He is very sleepy and he does not know how much longer he can continue on.

Iam working to create not only a prospering business but I am working on a way to liven up the town. Music seems to do it for me.

I am still working on my business and it is prospering. It is taking a toll on me at times, and I sometimes fear I have started this too late in my life. Still, there is much work to be done and it feels good to have so many coins in my pocket.
