I was...

...making clothing.

...trying to be the prettiest girl ever.

...on the road, looking for people that need help.

...on a very important mission.

...hiding from animals.

...happily married and serving the town.

...travelling with my new travel buddy.

...annoyed with an ignorant newspawn.

...repairing every tool the town owns.

...still exploring the undiscovered country with my best friend.

...fiercely guarding the town.

...still at sea, one year later, another year to go.

...looking forward to stealing something else.

...sailing back to rejoin my clan.

...arguing with someone, of course.


Now I am...

...running the manufacturing department, albeit sleepily.

...still trying to be the prettiest girl ever.

...frustrated at people's self-absorption and unwillingness to help the needy.

...back from my mission, now helping another town set up a new government.

...traveling with my loved ones, but discovering something unsettling about myself.

...still serving the town, but not as well as my husband does. I wish he would return soon.

...calling my new buddy my new girlfriend. We are gathering resources to start our new business.

...trying to be patient with travellers that do not read the laws.

...sent to invite others to our festival, but am lost. Doesn't help that I can't read.

...still exploring this untamed land with my travel partner. Happy about having found a better food source.

...sleeping while guarding the town, as the other guards are on duty and awake.

...back from the journey, to find that the island has changed in politics.

...bored, needing more thrills to stoke the developing flames of attraction to my shipmate.

...planning to do more than argue now... taking some action.
Beatings will continue until morale improves!!

I am getting pissed off at the pirates, who are making sailing hell! Even local authorities are trying to steal things from me, as it's hard to tell who is a pirate.


I finished the first edition of my map after sailling across the sea. I came out of the pirate fiasco with all of my stuff, plus the boat of the pirate we killed.

I am avenging the death of my promiscuous ex girlfriend, because I have nothing better to do, and I'm quite crazy.


Failed in killing the person who killed my ex, but I did kill Drew MacKenzie, the guy who imprisoned me. My life goal was complete after that, I had little to live for having gone through so much trauma. My one act of mercy in my life, letting an old friend who pissed me off leave alive, is what gets me killed.

I am becoming the most powerful person in my town, and I am gaining and losing allegiances.


I run the town now, and my enemies are dying. Without even assisted by me.

I am a coward... waiting for something to do.
I found something to do. :twisted:


I am sailing around with my army of dread, causing trouble like usual.

I am h...h.... hiding from life.
I am f... finding a new one.


I t.. t.. talked for the f.. first time in years recently.

I am enjoying my relationship forming with my companion... perhaps I shall not kill him.

Is my companion coming back? Damn, I should have killed him when I had the chance. Oh well, target practice on newspawns.


He came back, shouldn't have doubted him. But he disappeared again while I was target practicing on someone on the road.

I am sailing away from my home island... and I am lost.
I 'found' a new island, but seemingly others had found it before me. I am now trying to become a leader in this new land.


Myself and one of my heroes, the best mapmaker I know of, are searching the low animal population island for animals, as we need hide for leather for bellows.

I am pretty dang bored working in here...

I am building my own stuff now, with my boss' resources. He left town so I'm going to take the place over. Stupid boss.


I found my dead boss, got his bike, and I think I won't have any problems being legally recognized as the owner of all his stuff. Stupid boss.

I am getting rich, but don't really know what I should do with my wealth.

I am even richer, and even more clueless as to what to do with the wealth.


I'm exceedingly wealthy, building several veichles just to own them. I got tired of living as an equal citizen, so I convinced one of the other older residents to help me take controll of the town, killing or locking up people who dare take a resource slot.

Um found oil!


Um spend all day hunting and healing, but Um still a poor hunter. :evil:


Um dead. Um never got better at hunting. Um proved to his player that hunting skills don't improve well enough.


(French)
I am getting suspicious of those Dutch folk in my town.
I am using my leadership skills to turn my town into a socialist utopia.


The town is going quite well, I'm getting around to further rewarding the loyal ones with their own houses. Another damn dutch guy appeared in town though... I am too poor in combat to fight them off, maybe I can convince some of the younger men to kill him.

I am working as a smelter, but I yearn to leave town and explore again.


I've changed my work to masonry, as there are no more metals to smelt anymore. Hopefully our leader will send me to get more hematite.

Well Racetyme, only in the sense that he talks his way out of trouble if the odds are against him, rather than die.
He would have died if he didn't do this, so I consider it smart rather than cowardice.
But everyone else there seemed to disagree.

Well yes, he's on the way to the town of the people that made him run away.
Although I guess the coward comment was mean of me to say about him, I didn't like my character at that time.
I suppose it's not too cowardly to run away from five armed people with a car.
Just plain skill that he got away.

I know he is on his way to the town. That's what I was hinting at.

I am hunting a criminal, hoping to distinguish myself.

I am working for a shield, my goal is drawing closer.

I am nearly done with this wood, about ready to start doing what I love.

I am finally getting my business under way, with a new building set up.

I am a Stone Knight initiate, with a dark desire.

I am fighting to survive, and hoping my heart isn't crushed, in more ways than one.

I am trying to get a ship built, to explore for new islands.

I am trying to get a ship built, but for dishonest reasons.

I am an idealist. I want my land to be united. I want my government to succeed. I am weary from constant travel and diplomacy, but I know that the road ahead does not get any easier. I am an ever loyal son of my homeland.


I am very sleepy, I always have been. I'm well off. I have a good job, and I have had moments in my life that were interesting. But now I'm in the middle of a city, and I'm very sleepy. Maybe when my boss gets back, I'll be more awake.


I'm a sailor. I found a new island first, but others arrived there when I came back to settle it. I don't trust them. I've told my home city about the island. This should get interesting...


I was a mason; I built a great building. I became a councilor of a village; I turned it into a sprawling metropolis. I found my Faith, I am doing my best to spread it to my people, and beyond.


I am a blacksmith. On the side, I am a leader of my people. My personal heroes were killed by a murderous gang of thieves. So I led a group of people to slay them, and now new heroes have been made.


I am a proud woman. I am very protective of those I love. I take pleasure in killing those who threaten me. I am crazy and cruel, dominated by my own emotion.


I once was a man of law. I fell in love with a criminal. Now she's dead, and I have turned to a life of crime. I enjoy the freedom, but without my love, I am nothing but an empty shell who knows only hate.


I am a wanderer. I once joined a group because I thought it would give me purpose. But my group was very sleepy and eventually died of sleeping sickness. Now I wander on roads less travelled. I sometimes wonder why I don't just sit down and let myself die... but I refuse to give in and keep going.


I am a cook. I am a woodsmen. I am a lakeboat captain. I lead the simple life, and that's how I like it.


I am a fun-loving captain. I've got a great crew, and I just want to go and have adventures. Somebody stole from us, but I don't mind. Materials can be regained, at least I still have my ship, my health, and my friends.


I am a Stone Knight. I am very competitive. I want to help out and make a difference.

Just a few of my chars here:

1. I am starving, badly wounded, but trying to get to the next populated place on that Dutch island so I can get some food, and possibly other supplies, which I need to make an abandoned region into a new settlement.
And I'm cursing that damn bear for doing even more damage just before I left that place.

2. I am gathering rice, finishing off old projects, and killing some animals.
And I'm beginning to think that this locked building is abandoned too, even if I can't check because I don't have a crowbar.
Still, nobody answered since I knocked a few days ago, so... I'm declaring the souvereign principalty of... um... blast, this place needs a name other than "Unknown location"!

3. I am running for my life, and wondering why nobody in that other town helped me.
Those crazy people started shooting arrows at me as soon as I entered this little town in the mountains, and they followed me to the next town, hopefully they won't find out which exit I took...
Come to think of it, I'm also wondering why they would be trying to kill someone who has nothing on him but less than a day's supply of potatoes.

4. I'm wondering if my travelling companion will survive the trip.
She's been great fun, good company, and she shared the stuff she got from killing those animals that attacked me.
I hope she makes it.
If she doesn't, I'm calling dibs on her iron shield, her pickaxe, her bow, her billyclub, her hammer, and whatever else she's carrying.
I'm glad I'm not a lesser man, who'd consider finishing off a sick and wounded person just for personal gain.
That would just be wrong, after how she helped me.
But, if an accident were to happen, well, there's not much I could do against that, now, could I?

5. I'm walking slowly until my travelcompanions catch up, and laughing at the jokes this other traveller who happened to be on the same route for now, is making.
I'm hoping they'll let me borrow some tools in the next town so I can make some protective gear and weapons for me and my travelling companions.

6. I'm 21, I'm naked, I'm in the woods.
I'm alone for now, following a path to the next unknown place, because in the previous place nobody wanted to talk to me.
Luckily I still had some food left from my visit to a town before that, where I was allowed to do some harvesting and gathering, because the last town was mighty unfriendly.
I think they're not too fond of strangers there, they didn't attack me but wouldn't let me gather food, wouldn't let me work for food, and this so-called chief of police... he could just as well be a pirate, with how he talks and how he makes new arrivals pay for protection, or tries to lock them up when they don't have anything.
That cost me two days worth of carrots and potatoes...
Some day, I'll have plenty of weapons, and then I'll show him...

Can't speak for the other chars at this point, as it might unintendedly influence a couple of events.
Well, that, and there are some situations that are still going on, so I might say I'm doing one thing, but end up doing another...

* Edit:
1. corrected an annoyong typo.
2. forgot it wasn't this one town where I was allowed to gather food and stuff, but another town after that... so I corrected that.

** Update, adding a character to the list:
7. I am dead, the desert claimed my starving soul, all those things I gathered did not help me and neither did the person travelling in the opposite direction - not her fault, even if she wanted to, she just couldn't.
So close to the next region where I could have traded for food, or gathered food myself perhaps...

I fullfilled my goal of robbing the trader blind, then dumped him off to face the town along with his other employee who did nothing to help him, his boat makes an excellent pirate vessel.

I am dreaming of killing everyone in the town because I've been asked if I want a job 3 times and introduced myself 5 times and so far still don't have a job and no one can remember my name.


I'm wandering, first overland, now on a boat, can't wait to see what's over the horizen.

I am a petty theif healing myself from the last run from the law.


Now I'm a petty thief with a boat and enough food to outlast anyone foolish enough to try following me.

I am wondering if I'll ever be paid anything for all my work.


I'm dead. My employer didn't like people quiting.

I am working for a giggling young couple and need to escape with my sanity.


Long as I stay focused on the task at hand, they are tolerable, but I can't do it my whole life, the roads are calling my name.

I am being very well paid for my services.


I have so much, yet have done so little, boredom is setting in, things are simpily too easy.

I am still waiting for one of two people to tell me I have a job after they've (finally) asked me to verify what kind of work I want.


They didn't ask fast enough, and I'm glad for it, now I'm on a boat and far away.

New char:

After waiting for years for my employer to return, and figuring him dead, I deserted my post. Now, my boat is setting all ready for me to finish stocking it with provisions for the adventure ahead.
