ALOHA. We had this thread on the old site but no one ever thought to remake it. BASICALLY, this is where you can tell us about yourself, whether you're a new member or just... uh. I dunno. Old. XD You do NOT need to participate in this thread if you don't want to, and we're certainly not asking you to give away any personal information. This is just like, your favourite hobbies or whatever. XD
I'll start with me. ;D WOO
I AM EMMA, HEAR ME ROAR. Yes, it's my real name, I don't like it if I'm called anything else, although variations of Emma are fine. XD I was relatively new on the old site, Lethrblaka, but I am an old and crusty woman on here. Despite the fact that my profile says that I am 109, I am actually sixteen, turning seventeen in November, and in grade 11 highschool. I live in Canada, English is my third language and I'm a nerd. The shows I watch are ALL within the fantasy/sci-fi genre- Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis and Doctor Who are my absolute FAVOURITES, followed by Star Trek TOS and TNG (I haven't gotten around to watching the other ones yet), Xena/Hercules, Sanctuary, Firefly, Dollhouse, Legend of the Seeker, Charmed, Farscape, and I was a big fan of Buffy as a kid. My favourite video games are TES Oblivion and Morrowind, Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2, Dragon Age Origins, Assassin's Creed 1 and 2, and I do occasionally get addicted to the Sims. SHAMEFUL, but I admit making my characters on it. XD
NERD OBSESSIONS aside, I am a mellow Canuk that likes making weird characters and being random just to disturb my fellow RPers. I have 17 characters because I love variety, and I also have too much free time due to having no life. I love evil characters especially, or at least ze chaotic neutral type. I'm easily annoyed by things like Mary-Sues, MTV, Twilight, Justin Bieber and the Jonas Brothers. I'm also HIGHLY obsessive and I like considering myself as insane and demented, even though I'm just weird. I'd like to be an author when I grow up, but since I'm still really self-conscious about my writing so I'll probably also fall back on something like game development, writing scripts for sci-fi, or even study outer space. One of my current obsessions is the Wraith of Stargate Atlantis, an alien race, and I'm somewhat hoping they actually exist. XD
So... that's about me in a nutshell. I also love having tons of threads, so if you're interested in RPing with me, ask! ^^

Hi. My name is Sarah, but I go by Rah because there are just too many damn Sarah’s in this world *nods*. I am new to the site and I have to admit, I’ve only read the first Eragon book and am almost done the second! Don’t hate me! I live in Canada and plan to take interior design classes after I graduate high school this June. Although I should be happy with my career choice, I’ll still wait for the Doctor to come in his TARDIS and take me away. My plans include moving to Wales and living with my ‘girlfriend’ Sophie until it happens. I am a major geek (as I am not smart enough to be a nerd ) and enjoy all forms of science fiction, unless it is just plain stupid. I love steam punk and wish that this era could have actually existed (that would have been awesome!). I believe in ghosts, aliens, the lock ness monster, among other things. I do not, however, believe that Twilight vampires exist. If they did, they all committed suicide for seeing how much they are really losers. I am also a very big anime nerd. I listen to all languaged music including French, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, and Italian. Which, I do not understand, besides a bit of the French and Japanese. I suffer from a wide range of problems. Diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, ADD, OCD, as well as we are x-raying for potential knee surgery as well as endoscopying for stomach ulcers. Which I have to say, if there is someone controlling this all, he is so not fair . I am a recovering basement hermit, finally reaching out to society and the social ways. I enjoy long walks on the beach and believe in true love. But I also believe that it is nearly impossible to find in this time as no one understands relationships! You have to fight in order to establish a firm basis! You’d learn this as soon as you take a family sociology class! But anyways xD that’s me, I guess. I also like to use ranch dressing as dressing for everything: meat, vegetables, French fries, pizza, etc (unless the meat is already seasoned). I like to have a lot of fun and am open to a lot of variety in RP. I like to base my experiences for the building of my character’s interactions and relations rather than, “OoOoOo, let’s fall in love”. I want my characters to have a deep meaning behind them (if possible) and would like to get them acquainted and established as a person rather than as a plot tool.

Hey hey, my name is Connor. I'm an American. I live in Alabama, but would rather live in the Great Smokey Mountains in North Carolina. I'm 14, and I'm going to enlist in the Army. After some time in the Army, I'm planning on getting a degree in Criminal Justice(Maybe secondary education so I can be an American History teacher). I'm gonna go Infantry as my MOS, seeing as how police departments like fellows who were infantry. I like to read a lot. The music I listen to is classic rock, from like the 70'ss, 80's, and some 60's stuff. I like classical music, opera, some modern rock, and instrumentals.
If anybody cares, I'm Scots(Highland Variety)-Irish, with some possible Welsh thrown in. I'm also Cherokee. I enjoy breaking a sweat when I'm doing stuff, so I like being outside either reading, doing yard work, doing push ups, or just hanging out. My favorite food is anything with potatoes in it, and right after the potatoes are fried chicken smothered with gravy, with a huge heaping of mashed potatoes drowned in gravy, and on the side, a genuine Southern biscuit. When I'm not reading, playing MW2 on the PS3, sitting outside, or doing push-ups, I'm trying to learn the French, Scots Gaelic, Italian, and trying to teach my self how to play guitar on my older brother's guitar. I'm pretty terrible. My little brother is constantly harassing me, so I learned to ignore whatever I wanted pretty quick.
I enjoy shooting guns. throwing knives, throwing playing cards, and shooting a bow and arrows.

Hey all. Most of you already know me as that one guy who's a mod, but never gets on, but I assure you that I was once active and will probably be active again this summer and afterward. Really, this time I'm telling the truth . . .
Anyway, I'm a huge Lord of the Rings nerd (I taught myself to read and write dwarven runes {Angerthas Moria for those who are interested in such things} in one morning) and like Mandalorians and clone troopers from Star Wars (an avowed Jedi-hater though, so don't even try to talk to me about them), so if you hear me speaking random gibberish, assume that I'm calling you names in Mando'a. I've played goalie for my soccer team for four years and really enjoy it. My hobbies include a little bit of airsofting and amateur parkour, as well as lots of reading.
As soon as I finish college I'm looking into a career in the military or civil service such as being a fireman or policeman. The physical requirements are pretty stringent, so I'm not sure if I'll make it, but I'm going to give it a shot.
. . . so to speak.

Today I'm introduced as Formula. Tomorrow, probably something else.
For now, we'll continue the charade and give you some insight into what makes this particular potion so prodigiously potent!
To start, you will first have to acquire the following basic items!
- Excessive amounts of video games; particularly of the 360 and PC variety. Effectiveness of brew is increased when paired with games of the role playing (Mass Effect, Oblivion, Dragon Age, etc.) or first person shooter (Bad Company 2!!, Modern Warfare, etc.) variety. Blizzard style RTS such as Starcraft and Warcraft series perform highly as well.
- Fantasy, sci-fi, and b-rate horrors, and those with knowledge of such. Those to engage in Sindarin language discussions and argue over who shot first are extremely beneficial.
- Varying musical genres, with some measured favor towards 90s alternative rock, metal, industrial and worthwhile rap. Highest reaction comes from bands Nine Inch Nails and Tool, with varying runners up.
- Patience. Lots and lots of patience. The often deviant and always devious subject of discussion has much to offer the enduring of the disparate! .. Or so she would prefer to think.
The philosophical, serene, the indulgent and the wise, let them muse about the silliness of those alchemical lies!
And my puppy eats socks.

hey y'all. My name's Eric (aka. Wild dog). I am 16 years old and live in Hamilton, Michigan. I am home-schooled and went to some classes with Elvorn and Angmor. There, they were able to convince me to join this website. After weeks of battling evil errors and cursing the makers of Dell, I was able to join.
I am somewhat creative in my own eyes and off the wall to others. also, I am horrible with coming up with names. the two that stick out are Chingchangchingchangchingchangchong and Butterfliemitopitus. Ask Elvorn how those went over. Other then that, I enjoy writing, kayaking, and, you guessed it, video games. My favorite movies are Monty Python and Blues Brothers. O' and Lord of the Rings.
Despite being on this site, the Inheritance series do not rank high with me. I enjoy Wheel of Time, the Belgarion series, and the Magician:Apprentice series.
That, in the nut shell, is me

Hey y'all. I'm Arwen, also known as Kyoumochi on the cbox. So, i've been rping for about five years and I'm still currently in school. I get bored easily and so try and get on different rping sites. I'm currently in two other advanced rping sites and I'm looking for more. <3
Love Eragon and I'm a Ayra hater. I'm more of a Murtagh lover and this all shows in my fanfiction works. Pen name is Namiko Shigemoto on Fanfiction, if you guys ever wanna check that out.
Live in Canada. Ontario to be exact. It's honestly a totally awesome place to be, but it would even be better if I lived in Japan, Hong Kong, or even New York City. And...that's all I've gotta say for now. Wanna know more about me? Check out my website at andrealsyu.livejournal.com

Okay, well I guess I'll start with my name. I'm Zac and I'm 14. I love writing and reading, so i get called a nerd by even my closest friends XP. But I don't consider myself a nerd. I play hockey and was a hurdle star for track getting 4th school record in about 12 years. I like watching movies as well, and enjoy being scared. I LOVE my xbox to death and play MW2 almost every day. I'm a new Glee fan, just started watching on the computer. Rachel and Finn <3. I hate Quinn. Anyways..... Some of my favorite books are: Bartimaues Trilogy, His dark Materials Trilogy, and the Fire and Ice Saga. I'm a big fantasy reader, not really going for the whole sci-fi thing. Summer is my favorite season, as school's out. i don't really know what else to saaaaay.... Oh. My fanfic account is well....zkjt. I only have 2 chapters of a short thingy I'm writing, so you can't yell at me.(Took your idea Arwen haha)so yeah...you can pm me any time you wanna talk, I'm a good listener.

I'm Revan, your average star wars nerd type, also going into the realms of Dragonlance, Stargate and even Doctor Who at times. Obviously, I liked the Eragon series as well, otherwise why would I want to RP about it? If you know a bit more about star wars then you can probably already guess who my favorite star wars character is, and even if you don't know then you can still guess lol Oh, and I just joined a few minutes ago. So that's about all you need to know about me, and I'll probably make a character very, very soon.

Hmmm... My Turn? Okay!
Name is Renea, that is actually my middle name, and I use it all the time when I do not want to sign why my first. Haha! It works! Anyway, I am 18 years old, just graduated high school. I live in the most AWESOME State of Alabama and when I get up in the Morning, I can look outside an see the very Tail End of the Smokey Mountains! Haha! I know, I am awesome right? Haha!!! Anyway, I attended a technical my last two years of high school. One years I did Criminal Justice and the this last years I did Fire Fighting, which I have truly enjoyed. I work for a Volunteer Fire Department down the road, so if I am here one moment and then gone, don't worry, I will be back, just may take some time.
I am engaged! Though, Emma already knows about all of this, I figured I could tell everyone! I have been dating him since June 2, 2008 and we originally wanted our wedding to be on June 2, but because of Military, that is not going to happen. He is full time Army and he is a Mechanic, which he really enjoys. He is a awesome guy and I love him so very much! He also grew up here in Alabama, but we are both going to be moving soon... Just to make you all Jealous, my first home right after High School gets to be Hawaii!!! Yep, you heard me correctly, I am moving to Hawaii! Haha!!!
Anyway, I think I covered that part about me. I know many of you may not care, but my last name is Brechin and that is town in Scotland that is also known as Brechin with a Beautiful church known as the Brechin Cathedral. I am Scottish from my father's side and my mother's side is Irish and some Cherokee Indian, which I LOVE! Haha! I also have a bit of german in me I guess, but I have no idea where is comes in and I guess I really don't care. I love Bagpipe & Drum Music and even have a CD that I listen to. My fiance HATES bagpipes and I love to annoy him with it, but I know when to stop.
I have been roleplaying for nearly five years, since I turned 13... I love writing and I love reading books like Eragon, Twilight, Uncommon Heroes Series, O'Malley Series, and many many more. On here, I play six characters. The Beautiful & Dangerous Lady Nayeli and her Dragon Osiris, this Cunning Lord Turing, The Strong Lady Nasuada, the Deadly Shayna, and the Wise Pylar.
So Yea, that is me... Oh, I leave in the country of Alabama and I mean, true country! I live five miles from town and there is even a town down the road that had two gas stations, post office, and a small grocery store and that is it! But as I said, I live in a VERY VERY small town!!!! Haha!
Thanks for Listening Renea

Wellll...
I'm Max. This is my 10th month here.... I love writing (Duh. If we didn't like writing, why would we be here?) and have written an eight chapter short story. I'm known as Don on the cbox, although I'm most commonly known as Kite through forums/games/PSN/IMs.
I play a LOT (and I mean a LOT) of Playstation 3. It actually slows me down here occasionally cause I need my fix. I'm SakakiNatsuma on there, if you want to add me. I usually play MW2 (*drools*) or Skate 3, but I have a couple other games.
I'm going to be a senior this year (go class of 2011!) and I'll have a weird schedule cause i will be taking mostly Post-Secondary classes (community college).
I love Eragon (the world, not the characters) and Star Wars (RPed Star Wars for 2 years) as well as a little known fantasy series of books called the Belgariad and its sister the Mallorean. They are by David Eddings, and they are probably my favorite serieses ever.
I live in Colorado, and its dull as hell... Probably why I spend so much time on here or on my PS3. I host a Gameclub at my house every friday, where me and my friends sit around and beat the shit out of each other in game format...
Uhm... My favorite band is Tool. Don't disrespect the Tool. It is part of the Metal, and you can not kill the Metal. I actually like pretty much anything Maynard James Keenan has ever touched music wise. Its pretty damn cool, and I suggest you look it up.
Thats all.... I guess.

What's up, peeps! My name's Leah; here's a bit about me, if anybody actually cares... xD
I'm a seventeen year old Canadian girl and I've been roleplaying for the better part of seven years. I participate equally in human fantasy and equine/horse roleplays online, but much prefer human-based forums.
GRAD 2011, BABY!
My taste in music is really weird... I guess you could call it "eclectic" but i'm pretty sure i'm just crazy. I listen alot of Hardcore, Punk, Metal, Glam, Rock, Classic Rock, Classical, J-Pop, Pop Punk and Alternative bands.
Some of my favorite groups are...
- Billy Talent - The Stiff Little Fingers - Alexisonfire - Against Me! - PANIC! at the Disco - Fall Out Boy - Iced Earth - Anberlin - Cobra Starship - Rise Against - Demons & Wizards - Marianas Trench - Motley Crue - MGMT - Ten Second Epic - There For Tomorrow - HIM - My Chemical Romance I'm a total bookworm, and not afraid to admit that I use to be a fan of the Twilight series. That was before New Moon (the second book) or a Twilight movie were even "in the works". Yeah, I've been to Forks. And I have pictures. It's a beautiful town, but definitely nothing to crap your pants about.
*deep breath* My god, I could rant about Twilight for hours...
Anyways, I'm a huge fan of Christopher Paolini's work and many other fantasy series too. My very favorite series is definitely Kingmaker, Kingbreaker by Karen Miller. We're all fantasy fans here, and if you haven't heard of her you need to find either the first Kingmaker book, The Innocent Mage or the book Empress from Miller's second series called the Godspeaker trilogy. Seriously, her books are some of the very best I've ever read.
My Addictions:
- Rock Band - Mario Kart - Fantasy Novels - World of Warcraft (ah, i'm so guilty... T.T) - Rowing (the race kind, not the lame kind) Yeah, I'll stop ranting; you probably want to get on with your life. Feel free to drop me a PM or spark up a conversation with me in the Chat Box; I swear I don't bite...hard.
