introductions!

[Forte]

I figured that we should all introduce ourselves. It's so much more fun to post with people you know a little bit about, especially in a small community.

So, I'll go first.

Hi y'all, I'm Forte. Writer. Admin. Friend. I'm 17 and I live in the beautiful state of Orgeon. I love animals waaaay too much; my brain is chock full of entirely useless information about tons of different species, espacially orca whales, which I love to death. So much so in fact that my career goal is to study the southern resident population at the Center for Whale Research in Washington. My biggest hobby is photography, and in fact I am technically a professional, since I've been paid multiple times for photoshoots (senior photos). My deviantArt is here: link.

My second biggest hobby is (of course) creative writing. It has been an interest of mine since I started roleplaying, which I guess would be about...six years ago. I remember joining ProBoards sites before I turned 13, when I was like, "Heheheh... >_> *adds incorrect birthdate*".

I'm taking my fourth year of French and I consider myself fluent since this past summer I traveled to France and got along very well with the language. I swear, I soak it up like a sponge. :D

I also love music, mostly indie rock. Really obscure. For a lot of my favorite artists, all of their songs have the same popularity rating in the iTunes store. Lol.

So that's me, in a nutshell. I'm awesome, I admit it. But even awesome people need sleep OH DAMN it's past 1 here and I have work tomorrow. Good night. xD

[Kailolu]

Hey guys, I'm Kailolu, which means Taylor in Hawaiian. I'm 16, and I live in a small town in Eastern Washington. I love country music and would choose it over any others. My hobbies include:

Horseback riding - I have no horse of my own, but will be getting my first two in either late Dec. or early Jan. I ride my friends horses, Rocky, Freckles, and Otis. Rocky is a 27 year old Morgan gelding, Freckles is a 25 year old appaloosa mare, and Otis is a 4 year old paint gelding. (Otis is a rodeo queen's horse, so he's famous. Lucky me! )
Creative writing - Multiple times have I tried writing the same book different ways, but have lacked the motivation to finish it. So, I picked up role-playing as a hobby instead, able to create short stories with other people. I've been role-playing for 5 years I believe, and I'll tell you now, I'm not the best.
Drawing - I draw digitally almost all of the time now, just because I hate using up paper. I specialize in drawing wolves and horses, just because I find each of them beautiful. I've been drawing ever since I could hold a pencil, so the improvement is like night and day, haha.
Photography - My uncle is a well known photographer around the town and has been paid to take photos professionally. He's made calendars, post cards, and I'm sure he's sent something into national geographic once. This being said, he'll take me out and I'll take pictures with him. I'm by no means a professional, but I think I have a good eye for photos.

I'd like to study wolves when I get older, and help stop wolf hunting altogether. To show that these animals are fantastic and not meant to be on a wall, I'm going to adopt a Wolf Malamute hybrid and bring him with me when I tell people about wolves. I cannot wait for this day!

I guess that's it for now! If you want to get to know me anymore I'd love to talk to you. Toodles!

[Valitrix]

Hi! I'm Valitrix, and I've been rping for two or three years now. I LOVE writing, reading, animals and of course roleplaying. I don't really have any favorite books or music or anything, I kind of like everything. I do prefer to read fantasy, and historical fiction above anything else though. I'm actually currently hooked on the 39 clues series thanks to my family. Oh, and I'm also the admin/founder of my very own Disney personified site (because Disney rocks!). Anyways, that's about it, and I can't wait to get to know everyone here!

[rocketeer]

Aloha, konichiwa, and ciao guys, I'm Rocketeer. Usually everyone calls me Nefeli or Neffy, but Rocket's fine too. I've been roleplaying for about a year and I live on the California East Bay. And I'm kinda not too smart.
What's beast in pig latin?
East Bay.
xDD

I love traveling, and I've been to 7 countries so far. :D My favorite places that I've been to? I'd have to say Hawaii (my home away from home) and Milan. :) OH THE SHOPPING

I also adore all sorts of music and artists, from pop to indie to hip-hop. Some of my most favorite artists are Coldplay, JAY-Z, Kanye West, Far East Movement, the Black Keys, Usher, David Guetta, Bruno Mars, Cee-Lo, Eminem, Maroon 5, Gnarls Barkley, Lady Gaga, Flo Rida, Rihanna, and Akon :D

I do love making graphics and siggies, and I'll make you something if you want :) I've been making graphics for ages so you can expect results, I guess x)

I get bored easily, love doing hair and makeup, shopping, and swimming. Meth is death. I love animals, especially penguins and other birds :D I also love cats and dogs. I love crop tops and shorts, working out, and tanning ON THE BEACH (no tanning beds. eww.) :D My favorite season's the summer, I love almost every color, and "Like A G6" by the Far East Movement is my songg.

Heeyy, I can't help being this flyy.

mi amore vole fe- <3

[Marie Anne]

Hi. I'm Marie Anne. I've been role-playing for around 8-9 years now, mostly online though I do enjoy the occasional video/board game. Um... I'm really immature for my age (18) and I live in the Wild West- New Mexico. Yes, I'd probably have a southern accent if we ever met face-to-face. (I can see you all imagining me saying this in a way overdone accent like Sandy Cheeks from Spongebob...)

ANYway, I love all animals, though I do love to eat animals, which is why I'm going to become a chef and learn how to properly cook them. YUMMY! Um, I do go to college, so I'm usually never logged out as I want to be able to open my laptop and say HI! without having to log in as I just won't have that much time. (I should never write introductions when I'm hyper. People will think that I'm Crazy or somethin'.)

Sooo... yeah. anything you wanna know besides like my home addess (that'd just be too weird.), just ask and I'll most likely tell you!

-Peace!

Marie

[alkadorio]

What's up, guys? I'm Nessa, but I can go by Merr or Alka, whichever you prefer. Seventeen years old, been role-playing since I was ten so that makes seven years. I moved out of New York recently and settled in crap Pennsylvania.
I miss the city and the lights. :c
I'm crazy about writing. I'm a Slam Poet; I spit my own poetry on stage and rock people's worlds with my words. I've been in several competitions and once I came out on top. c:
I'm a tomboy homosexual. YYYEESS.
I have a ferret named Axel Titus. Once I make a character tracker, I'll post pictures of myself and him all over it. c': He's practically my son.
Italian and Irish heritage run through my veins. Yeah, you should see my family reunions; quite the scene.
I'm crazy about The Lion King. Kovu is me, that's it.
I'm a monster. Yeah, it sucks, but it's who I am.
I'm addicted to Tu-- I can't say it because it's against the rules. You'll know what I'm talking about if you have one. c':

Well, in any case, message me or something if you wanna talk and such.

[KaiNaium]

Greetings, people of earth; I come in peace!

I'm KaiNaium, but you can call me Nai. I was born and raised in LA. That's right, California. I love LA so much; there's no other place that I'd rather be. I love the beach, surfing, and skateboarding. I also love music and play the guitar. But, all that shiznit is pretty typical. And I love so much stuff anyway. I've moved elsewhere since, but I'm practically dying to go back.

By definition, I'm considered a professional artist. I'm decent with paints and stuff but I'd really prefer oil pastels. Problem is, they're exspensive. I've been doing natural and still photography for years and I consider myself pretty good at it. I'm largely technologically-incapable, but for what it's worth I'm not horrible at coding. I made varsity soccer team my freshman year; no big. But I'm mentionably horrible at all other sports besides soccer, surfing, and skateboarding. I ride horses and do bareback competitions with my friends, but I don't ride competitively. I love horses so much. I have an affinity for horses, wolves, and lions. I have a pet cat named Brazil. Brazil is a male Maine Coon, and he's G I G A N T I C. Naturally, being from California, (particularly LA) I have totally unattainable dreams.

Being a Bestselling Writer is one of them. I'd like to have published one of my books and have it doing decently well before I'm 18. The deadline's coming up, let's just say that... My favorite author, Christopher Paolini, published the first book of my favorite series, Eragon, when he was just 19. If I publish before then, I'll be ecstatic. Lyricist is another lifelong dream of mine. I wouldn't mind singing the lyrics as well, but, hey, you can't get everything in life. I also wouldn't mind being a Director, but (shall I reiterate?) most people born in LA eventually get "Director Dreams." I've created a few would-be episodes of my favorite shows and I directed a few would-be music videos made around the city for a contest. Unsurprisingly, we didn't get first, but we didn't really expect to. We did get special mention for the Music Cover! Anyway, I'm a sort of iconic Animal Activist at my high school and have traveled to the crags of Colorado to assist in the protection of the indigenous wolf population many a time. My next travel mission is to Africa to assist there with some Lion research and preservation. Sadly, finding finances for such a trip is more difficult than you can imagine. On the 'lions' note, I'm also a staff member of a Lion King RP and several other role-play sites in the categories of: big cats, equine, wild canines, and fantasy. I've been role-playing for 5 years, but writing for eight. I got tired of constricting rules at my previous wolf RP site and came here, to be very, very impressed.

I'm really looking forward to making my mark here and improving my role playing skills, as well as role playing with all of you. That's the cool thing about roleplaying: it's not just you writing. When you had so many other people and personalities forming the story with you, everything becomes like 1000x more worthwhile.

[eclipse21]

Hey everyone! I'm eclipse21 but you can call me eclipse.I live in the rainy yet very green and pretty Western Washington, in a semi-small town called Issaquah. Unlike, Eastern Washington, we never get snow, which is heart-breakening especially when the Holidays roll around. Some of my hobbies are...

Dance:: I've been doing ballet since kindergarten. In mid-december or early january, I will be getting pointe shoes. Getting pointe shoes is a big accomplishment in ballet. I'm so excited to get them! Although, it's gonna be painful.

Being with Animals:: I love being any type of animal. To be honest, I prefer animals that have four legs than humans. To me, I believe that animals who can't speak are so much more understanding and less judgemental.

Writting:: Give me any topic, and I can pretty much right as much as I can. With writting, you can express yourself in ways that other hobbies can't. Writting is my strongest side in school, and I aboslutely love it!

Baking/Cooking:: I've been learing how to cook and bake for a while now. I wouldn't say that I'm great at it, but the food I cook/bake is pretty good. I LOVE learning new recipes.

That's me! Ask me any questions that you wanna know about me, if you have any.

[tyri]

I shall be called Tyri hence forth! I am female, 19 going on 20. and my soul is rotting in this institution they call college. I don't work at the moment, but my school work keeps me busy enough. Lets see, what else....

Writing: I suck, end of story. I have role-played since I was 10... because I was bad and lied about things >.> However, I took a long hiatus this past year and I have fallen to new lows in skill. The papers I write for school are horrid to say the least, so hopefully I can produce a few good verses here.

Words: I can't write them, but I can speak them....in almost 4 languages. English, Mandarin, Japanese , and Choctaw. If you count my broken Spanish and *very little*Arabic, 6. I'm a linguistics freak with a Chinese Major, whaddah expect?

Age...is a number. Do not expect it to mean any significant thing, like maturity.

Pets, I horde them...I have 4 dogs and 3 cats at home..I miss them dearly. I'm only allowed a fish in my dorm room -.-

Music: Give me some Bach and Beethoven and toss in some K-pop. Mix in a few Chinese ballads and a traditional Arabic instrumental. Don't forget the Electronic bass. That's about all I like...I'm really picky, eh

Oklahoma...It's where I live. I DO have a southern accent if I want...or I can have a perfectly clear tone, especially when speaking anything but English. We do have tornadoes, I've seen plenty, cows are everywhere, but not everyone owns a farm. I think that covers everything....oh The wind can stop sweeping across the plains now...I'm freezing.


That's all I can think of for now....ask away if I skipped an important piece of my life.

[Accalia]

Hello. I'm Accalia.

You might know me as Lyta, which is the name of my character. I have seriously gone by everything under the sun, from Amille to Frederico. Okay, I'm joking about Frederico. But free feel to call me Accalia, Lyta, Amille, OY YOU, Ceryni, Irynn, Cahaya, or Ly-Ly. (I'm joking about Ly-Ly, too. It's the most annoying pet form of 'Lyta' EVER. Don't. I eat people for that.)
There are also a number of ways you can shorten my names. Accalia to Aca, Cali or Lia, whichever suits. Amille to Ami. Ceryni to Cery. Irynn to Irry. Cahaya to Cayie.
Honestly, I don't care what you call me. Most commonly it's Lyta, Accalia, Aca, or Cali. But I don't mind

I am mad on judo, wolves, archery, poetry, sword-fighting, and writing. I do graphic art too, especially tables (taking requests. PM me). I'm a bit of a geek at school and have no friends (though I can put that down to Asperger's just as easily as geek-ness). I'm pretty socially inept and useless.

I'm failing Maths, History, Art, Music and German. I'm opinionated and stubborn. << adding that in for a bit of humility. 'Cause I need it. My fatal flaw is arrogance.

I play the piano, but really badly. I love playing River Flows in You and My Heart Will Go On. I also used to think I could sing. Now I know that it sounds like the mermaid's screaming coming out of that egg in the Harry Potter movie, so I don't any more. Well, I do, but mostly along to the radio in the privacy of my bedroom.

I used to have horses, and ride, but I gave it up for judo. I was pretty rubbish at it anyway. I also used to be in the Brownies, but I gave that up for judo too. (I was a REALLY rubbish brownie, too. I CANNOT sew or cook or clean and I'm not particularly great at domestic chores).
Basically, I spend my LIFE doing judo.
I am obsessed with judo.
Don't ask me about anything judo or martial arts related, as I shall babble so much you will all go insane.
I love it. Judo is my life.
I have won medals internationally. (I had a whole spiel in here about how amazing I think I am, but took it out. See, I'm combating my fatal flaw! XD )

I am writing a book, which is currently unfinished. I have an interested agent who will be publishing it when it's finished (*jumps up and down with excitement*). CALI IS HAPPY

I love languages. I am learning Latin, Mandarin, French, German and Japanese (please don't attempt to converse with me in Mandarin, I've only been doing it a term and the pronunciation is fiendishly difficult, as is memorising the characters - they're so complex! - so we've spent the whole time working on that.) I'm probably dropping German next year, though, because it's quite difficult and I want to focus on my Latin and French. I used to be learning Spanish and Arabic, but I sort of failed at them so I gave it up. And my Spanish teacher was my best friend and we're not friends any more, so that's not really an option either.

I started RPing when I was around eight. Which is probably quite early, considering. I started out Stars-style - the one that does *jumps in the air* Hello! - on a Warrior Cats chatroom site, and then eventually moved on to a Hunger Games forum RP. After that I moved on to a fantasy literate wolf roleplaying site, but there was a bit of a personality clash between me and several of the staff there so I ended up leaving. Currently I'm on Spectrum, and another site, and I run my own Warrior Cats RPG. Between that and writing my book and homework and judo, I fill up my days pretty completely.

Because of starting off on *stars* RP-ing style sites, I have a pretty strong appreciation for/emphasis on pace, intricate plotlines and character development, as opposed to the more literate values of lengthy descriptions, and huge amounts of detail. I'm a grammar freak, but I'm able to switch criteria frames, so I'm fine with different roleplaying styles - you use different grammars for different situations (you never italicise actions and put them in brackets normally - that'd be bad grammar - but in a script, you do. In normal stuff you never bold speech, but some RPers do). So I'm pretty much able to be fine with that, whilst still being a grammar freak. If that makes any sense at all...

My muse is horrible. It'll be great for a few weeks and I'll be churning out 900-word posts like they're water, and then it'll be horrible for a few weeks and I'll struggle with a few paragraphs.
I count myself a pretty good writer (publishing offer, squee!) but I find it quite hard to RP, mostly 'cause in RP there's no real storyline for me to follow. I can't just quickly describe an event and then move on to the fun, easy-to-write car chase, emotional death scene, amazing secret revelation, or intense philosophical conversation with the wise-mentor character. I have to get the post out and it has to be set in the right place and be about a certain thing - I can't just decide that a meteorite falls down from the sky and chaos ensues.
Mainly, I RP because I enjoy the challenge, and because it's nice to write in a community. Of course, where I started off RPing, it was a lot more competitive, so another big reason I RP is to try and find a site that has the same competitive, my-character-WILL-triumph, but not horrible-competitive - really strong community feel - sense as the first site I was on (that closed down). I get sort of wistful about 'the good old days' of RPing. If I start to get like that, tune me out.

I think that's everything about me. Oh yeah, I've got Asperger's Syndrome, and I'm proud of it. That means I'm logical, analytical, methodical, dreamy and different. It also means I'm not great at communicating with others, which is why I seek refuge on the internet, where everybody uses exactly the same means of communication - written words - so it's much easier.
It's not a disability, it's a difference.
I'm fine to discuss it with anyone who's interested in people on the autistic spectrum << only saying that because people have asked me before.
Apart from that, treat me like you would anybody else. Just if I say something awkward, keep in mind I probably don't mean to be offensive, I just have difficulty sometimes establishing what will offend somebody, what won't, what is funny/comforting/cheerful-sounding/depressing, what isn't, etc etc. I mostly do manage to communicate effectively these days, so don't worry about it.

[m o n d a y]

Well, hello there.
I'm Monday, but you can call me any absurd nickname you'd like, its most likely i will cherish it forever.
I'm a sixteen year old and a junior in High School. My life is a mess of coffee spills and rushed mornings. I'm disorganized, twitchy, anxious, prone to OCD and germaphobic tendencies, and way to socially awkward to function in society. Thus, my conclusion is that I will become a crazy cat lady by the age of thirty. Talk about setting the bar huh?
Also, there's a high chance i probably shouldn't of shared any of that with you all. but whatever, most of it is exaggerated anyway x)

I like to draw and daydream. Usually not in that order though. I tend to like anything if it makes me smile, so crack a joke and we'll be bff's in no time. I'm a massive geek. Not nerd, get your facts straight bro.
I'll fan over star trek and star wars equally, and make stupid thunder cats jokes no one will get. I also tend to be quite hypocritical in some things, like say, im into Hetalia AND Homestuck. A rare combo these days. I'm a really toucheyfeely sort of person but i get germaphobic at times. I'm sorta scared of heights but i've wanted to do nothing but jump off a plane.
See what i mean?

Hopefully you all will welcome me with kind words and i'll be forced to stay here forever ♥
but i dont think any of you will want that

haha just kidding!
Asta la vista broski's
