Welcome to Vaioa,

a desert triumvirate of Hold, Weyr, and Mine. Thread's return and bandit raiding brought strife between weyr and hold, but the bandits' recent defeat has returned the region to an uneasy peace. Now, a shipwreck on a forgotten continent and the decision to settle this rediscovered land has opened up a world of opportunity to Vaioa, if only they can handle the dangers.

So, because I couldn’t find a thread like this and we keep getting this massive influx of awesome new members, I figured I’d make a thread where we can introduce ourselves and get to know each other just a little bit better than crazy shenanigans in the cbox allow.

Name: Mary
Nicknames: Fish, Fishy, Feesh, Fishsticks, Hibby, Hibs, Blanch, Jitterbug
Gender: Female
Age/Birthday: 24 years old, August 5th, 1988
Time Zones: Washington State, Just outside of Seattle, Pacific Timezone
When Are You On: Um…my schedule is very sporadic. I can be on all day sometimes but not get a damn thing done, or I can be very busy. It varies. Generally the best times to find me are late afternoon through about 2am. Even if I’m not on the Weyr, I’m usually logged into various IM programs. My real life distractions include three crazy dogs that are constantly getting into trouble and making my life hell, some family issues, getting kidnapped by friends, and occasionally just needing a day or two off to unwind and not do anything.

Time RPed: About 7 years now

About You: I am a 24 year old who lives a lifestyle bordering on hermitude. I’m currently employed as a secretary. But I’m still home a lot or out with friends. I tend to be pretty friendly and light-hearted but I’m also very obnoxious and loud and random. I also swear a whole lot and I enjoy the hell out of it. I love meeting new people and talking online for obscene amounts of time at all hours of the day and night. I’m big into music of all types, gaming, and just generally being a nerdy shut in – except when it comes to going to concerts.

I tend to be a very outspoken and opinionated person. I share my views on things freely whether or not I'm asked to. And I can be a little on the loud side without meaning to be. I love talking to just about anyone about just about anything, although certain topics are liable to incite a spirited rant. My friends are my LIFE and without them I would be nothing.

The Created:
Um...lots. See sig.

Preferences: What do I look for in RP? Well, I’m not entirely sure. I will RP with just about anyone but I generally do best with people who don’t mind waiting a day or two for a reply and people who don’t mind being subjected to my character’s inner monologues. I don’t RP smut because I feel awkward writing explicit sex with people I don’t really know. There are a few people who would be exceptions to that rule and you know who you are. But generally, I fade to black.

I have a few turn-offs in RP, some are exclusively Pern, others just general things that annoy me. I dislike insta-couple mating flights. If you want my character and your character to hook up in a flight, that’s cool, but don’t expect them to fall instantly in love! In lust, yes. Love? No. I also dislike the idea of re-impression, multi-impressions, and HAD’s. One big thing for me that will insure that I will never play with your character is any reference to rape, or severe abuse. Rape pasts and plots aren’t really allowed on Vaioa anyway so that shouldn’t be a problem. But I just don’t want anything to do with stuff like that. If something is squicking me out, I will let you know.

And finally, I try to put a lot of effort into making my posts interesting and fun. I really dislike it when people skim them and reply very obviously without having paid any attention. I like to go into my character’s inner monologues and ideas and private conversations with their dragons, but unless explicitly stated in RP, your CHARACTER is not hearing these things. They have no way of knowing this stuff. It’s there for your OOC benefit and for character development purposes. OOC knowledge isn’t IC knowledge as a general rule. To discourage people from skimming, I occasionally hide little…surprises in my writing in the form of links. Enjoy!

How to Ask: I am usually in the cbox or on a number of IM programs. But if you can’t get a hold of me there, you can ask Ched or Icy to text me and I will usually get back to you. There’s also PM’s and various RP-Plot-Wanted threads. Generally, unless I am totally overloaded with threads, I will say yes. Or at least put it on my future to-do list. Don’t be afraid to remind me about a thread we were planning to do but please understand that if I’m in like 20 threads, I may not be able to start it right away.


Favorite Color Dragon: Browns! Love ‘em! I think they’re underplayed, underappreciated, and just plain awesome!

When Are You On: I am subject pretty much only to my work schedule. I will be here every day unless on LoA. I'm usually lurking in the cbox ^_^

Time RPed: Over ten years; Pern was my first fandom ever to RP in

About You: I have a BA in Creative Writing and Political Science, with minors in Japanese and Sociology. I also have a Master's degree in Creative Writing. I'm also a certified pastry chef. I love stories and want to be a writer, although I really enjoy other media as well. Other interests include art, politics/current events, music, and culinary. :)

The Created:
Check my signature!

Preferences: First of all, I need someone who will be patient if I don't IMMEDIATELY reply. That being said, there's not many other requirements I have. I prefer to play out characters interacting over periods of time, forming friendships (or not), but short threads are nice as well.

How to Ask: I'm always in the cbox. You can PM me too, but the cbox is usually the fastest and easiest. if you want to RP with me, I prefer that you ask instead of assuming I will be open to RP with you. I will almost never say no, but given that I'm a bit busy I prefer someone who is ok with possible unexpected delays in replies.

Likes: Writing; dragons; Harry Potter; Disney. I love to keep busy. IC, I love complex characters, and I especially love characters who actually have faults.

Dislikes: -Being proselytized. No matter what your opinion is, I will completely respect it, provided you don't try and push it on me.

Favorite Saying:

Interesting Facts: I'm a certified pastry chef ???

Favorite Show(s): don't watch much TV

Favorite Food(s): Potatoes and carbs. I also have a huge sweet tooth.

Age/Birthday: 20, March 1st :)
Time Zones: Texas. Uh...not sure what timezone that is :B
When Are You On: I'm on whenever I can be. On campus is really my only reliable source of internet, so I always take my laptop with me and chill on the interbutts between classes. :) I'm working on getting the internet situation within my actual apartment fixed, so we'll see. I also frequently check in on my phone, so typically I'm hanging around. If you want to get a hold of me on the site, though, a PM is a good bet :3

Time RPed: I started roleplaying Pern in the fifth grade, which would be ten years ago. (Dang.) I roleplayed a whole bunch of other stuff, too, but Pern was my main focus. :) I've been on an uncountable number of neopets Weyrs, but then took a long break from RP and have only within the past summer gotten back into it.

About You: I'm a criminal justice major with a focus on victim's studies. Whenever I eventually get my graduate work done and leave school, I hope to be some kind of social worker or counselor for abused and battered women/children.

Past that, I have a far-reaching sense of humor. There aren't a lot of things that I don't find at least somewhat amusing. I spend a lot of my time doodling and reading, or squawking at friends. Recently I've joined a martial arts club at my college, and am a white belt in Hapkido :)

The Created:

A'yar, Wingsecond : Oblivious, golden-hearted and has enough room in his arms to hug the entire world. He's quick to fall in love and settle, and has had his heart broken a time or two by a flight-mate he thought would be the One. A stay-at-home dad kind of guy, many people wonder how he Impressed a massive, sarcastic grump like Sith.

Ellin, Wingrider : Because of her stutter Ellin doesn't speak much, relying on facial expressions and body language to communicate. She's maternal and flirtatious, and likes to be in large groups even if she's not actively contributing. Omayith does a lot of her conversing for her, though a lot of things get lost in translation - the green isn't particularly bright.

T'lsin, senior Weyrling : Sarcastic, sly, and skirting the edge of manipulative, T'lsin enjoys witty, biting banter and judging people when they aren't looking. T'lsin is a good friend if you want an attentive ear for juicy gossip, and has a solid work ethic. He and sweet little Halieth are constantly conversing.

Bryn, junior Weyrling : Bryn is in a constant state of moderate agitation. She's friendly enough, and certainly boisterous, but when a bad mood takes her she's nothing short of a demon, and will cuss and box your ears till you bleed. Not afraid to throw punches, Bryn nevertheless makes a wonderful guard-dog of a friend, as long as you don't stare at her and make her feel 'prickly'. Izaxth has turned out to be her far-more-feminine counterpart, with a tendency to calculate, far different from Bryn's usual method of punch first, demand answers later.

Tosst, Wherhandler : Tosst is a rough man, and easily unlikable. Life is black and white, and survival depends on which side of the line you land on. From years of solitude with only his Tossk for company, Tosst has a tendency to see people as an animal would - is this person stronger or weaker? Are they a threat or a potential mate? He is not an unfair man, though, and will give plenty of chances to those he deems worthy of them. Tossk constantly tests and flexes his handler, making sure the man is still worth his time and loyalty.

Heliodor, Master Glasscrafter : In her spare time, Heliodor is a drunken flirt, stricken with the romance of the moment, more than amenable to any man that falls into her bed. When it comes to her work in the glass ovens, however, Heliodor is all business, and woe to those who waste her time. She lives to find the joy that comes from creating beautiful, intricate pieces and give that joy to others. She also like the weight of marks in her palm.

Preferences: I'm not picky, and I'll thread with anyone. :) Even if the grammar is kind of off, and the person themselves is rather new to the idea of roleplay, I don't mind being a test dummy. I particularly like to throw my characters into awkward or difficult situations, so if you have a deliciously dramatic idea, clue me in!

Violence, pregnancy, death, illness, all fair game. Rape, however, is not, and since that is rare on Pern and not tolerated on Vaioa, I don't think we'll have to worry about that. ;)

I don't mind a little godmoding here and there - sometimes it's hard to avoid - but please. Don't ever take control of my characters without asking and clarifying with me first. It drives me crazy.

How to Ask: If I'm online odds are I'm on my AIM, Pheealfraydo. However I've been having internet issues lately so if you want to make sure I know something, shoot me a PM :) If I'm in the cbox, just ask me! We can hash out the details :)

Likes: Food! Food in general, oh man. Cooking, crocheting, reading, playing with my cat. I'm basically a grandma at 20. I also like Hapkido, and love me some vidja games and scifi.

Also I love awkward situations. If you're in the mood for some crackish, awkward humor for your characters, hit me up. We'll make so much awkward.

Dislikes: I typically don't like to discuss religion or politics with people that I do not know very well. So, I won't. Problem solved. If someone's going on a rant in the cbox I will probably attempt to derail with something stupid and distracting. :B

Also don't be a jerk. That'd be awesome. :3

Favorite Saying: All the ladies, they cause a kerfuffle. They want to ruffle my truffle.

Interesting Facts: Hapkido! Crochet! World of Warcraft! Awkward! Trolling!

Favorite Show(s): I dunno. I just kind of watch the History channel :B I like CSI shows and the like, though. Also cake decorating shows. Hurr hurr.

Favorite Movie(s): The Hangover. Bridesmaids. Napoleon Dynamite. Shutter Island. Monty Python. There was a pattern there but I broke it. :3 I LIKE TO BREAK THINGS.

Favorite Food(s): Fried okra. Frozen yogurt. Bananas. Beef and Broccoli! Nom nom nom horf nom

Favorite Book(s): DRoP, obvs. Also the Sookie Stackhouse series of novels, anything with werewolves and vampires and magic. Gimme all the paranormal. All of it.

Favorite Color Dragon: Greens <3 They can have such a ridiculously wide range of personality and that really makes me happy. They're also the most acrobatic of fliers and generally have the most colorful, purdiest hides. They can also be kind of durpy and that also makes me happy. Hahahahah. I also like that they're not rankers, so they can fill any other kind of job or responsibility that their rider wants to. They can be healers, searchdragons, harpers, watchdragons (hurr), weyrling and candidates masters or assistants, anything. That's a huge range of versatility.

Contacts: I haz an IM. Pheealfraydo. I have a tumblr too but I forgot it.

Name: Whitney
Nicknames:
Age/Birthday: 25 / March 20
Time Zones: Missouri, Central Standard Time

When Are You On: Whenever I feel like it. I work at a library, so I surf around on the web a lot while I watch the desk. I usually need to be in bed by 11:00 PM CST, since I open up said library at 7:30 every morning. :)

Time RPed: Since I was 13... that makes it 12 years of RP. I got into it through a Star Trek RP and then when I was around 14 or 15 I joined Neopets and found the Weyrs there. I've been stuck Rping Pern ever since.

About You: I have a BA in History, with a minor in Medieval and Renaissance studies. My plan was and still is to get work in a museum, but I find myself enjoying library work more and more as the years go by. I've been considering getting a Master's in Library Science, so I can get paid more to work here. :P

The Created:
C'ric, rider of brown Vaotentath - Weyrlingmaster - C'ric is super underqualified for his job, but he doesn't let that get him down! He's generally a happy-go-lucky guy and has a serious drive to be useful at the Weyr. He has moved around a lot and has seen much of Pern, before recently settling in Vaioa.
Eleonora, rider of garnet Lenath - Weyrling - Ele is cheerful and happy nearly all the time. She looks at the world with a sense of wonder and will never hesitate to tell you about it. Lenath is sweet and bright and quite calm, especially when compared to Ele.
Telimnon - Candidate - Tel looks at the world with the same sense of wonder as his little sister Eleonora. However, he doesn't feel the need to talk about it continuously. He never expected to be Searched, but has found he adores Weyrlife.
Jeselle, rider of green Ysaeth - Weyrling - Until she Impressed Ysaeth, Jeselle moved through life without it touching her. The pain of not Impressing had dulled through the turns. Now she's forced to with a paranoid little green and she's loving every minute of it.
Olwyn - Cook - Olwyn is a dragonrider groupie. She finds great joy in being with the riders and meeting the dragons, but she has no attention span and so is always looking for something new. There is no way to keep her faithful to any one person, she gets bored too easily. The same is true of most things in Olwyn's life. She's not a good mother, because she refuses to devote enough time to her daughter.

Preferences: I like a little give and take when I RP. I don't like to feel that I'm the only one holding up the story. By this I mean I like some character development or plot development on your part, just like I expect it on my own. This does not mean I need huge posts, I just like to feel I've gained some insight into your character by your post.

I also don't like things too perfect, but I don't like things too awful either. I don't like dark, murderous, awful pasts. I like keeping the illusion that I'm playing with a 'could be real' world. XD I'm much more inclined to accept and like a character if they have parents that are not dead and if they grew up like every other Pernese.

How to Ask: Private message me, find me on the cbox, or send me an e-mail.

Likes: I love reading. You'll almost always find me toting around a book. I love paperbacks, because they fit in my purse. :P My favorite genre is Scifi/Fantasy, but I do read historical novels too. Obviously my absolute favorite is a mix of the two. :)

I like watching TV shows and movies. (see favorite genres, they apply here too) I like crafting and gardening. I make my own jewelry and I love making little felt things, plushies and clay figures. I have tons of plants and I take care of other people's plants, because I hate seeing them die.

I like hiking and exploring riverbanks and lake shores. I love animals and I find it so much more fun to do things outdoors if I have a dog following along behind me.

Dislikes: I don't like friends that use me, people that cut me off and snow. That is, I hate snow on the ground, I love it when it's falling. I just hate the sound it makes when you step in it. XD I don't like it when people don't take the time to look up the facts before they start arguing things. I don't like political or religious discussions, not because I don't have beliefs, but because I hate the feeling that someone is trying to force their beliefs on me or others.

Favorite Saying: I have a horrible time picking out favorite sayings, so I won't choose one.

Interesting Facts: My characters tend to like learning new things because I enjoy it. I frequently research topics or watch documentaries because I want to learn more about as many different things as I can. The only exception to this rule is math, which I generally hate.

Favorite Show(s): Firefly, The Mentalist, Freaks and Geeks, Life, the 4400, Roswell, Eureka, Life on Mars, Doctor Who, White Collar

Favorite Movie(s): The Shawshank Redemption, Last of the Mohicans, The Godfather, The Third Man, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Up

Favorite Food(s): Strawberries, Spaghetti (and generally all Italian food), Seafood of all kinds, Chocolate mint anything

Favorite Book(s): Books by Tim Powers, Declare is my favorite of his (You know how I mentioned liking Scifi/fantasy and history books earlier? He mixes the two = <3 ), McCaffrey's books, Pat Rothfuss's The Name of the Wind, Seanan McGuire's October Daye series, Kristin Britain's Green Rider series, Naomi Novik's Temeraire series, The True Game (series) by Sheri S. Tepper, The Darkangel (another series) by Meredith Ann Pierce, Robin Hobb's Farseer series... I think I'd probably be able to keep going forever, so I'm stopping here :)

Favorite Color Dragon: ALL of them. I love all dragons :) There are so many possibilities with each of them. I like to keep a nice balanced list of characters riding every color of dragon (although queens are usually noticeably out of the list).

Magical Shiny Times
Name: Alluade
Nicknames: Allu, Al, Ade, Lua
Age/Birthday: 21/ April 26
Time Zones: USA, Texas, CST
When Are You On: All day, every day. I’m currently unemployed and have a class I do once a week. If I’m not on by noon my time, it’s either because something is wrong or something happened the night before that made me need to sleep in. I got a job that requires me to be up from 4 in the morning to at least 8 at night, so I tend to attempt to sleep on Mondays through Fridays. However, I'm pretty decent about sleeping enough on the weekends, so I can post then. If not, this means I'm too tired to manage coherent word structure. Believe me, it happens.

Time RPed: 11 years. Yes, I really started RPing when I was 10. You have no idea how jaded I have become over the years.

About You: I am a derpasaurus. Uh, no. I’m working on getting my Associate’s of Arts in Commercial Art (which translates to it can do nothing), and am waiting on jobs to call me back. I live in a house with five other adults, three children, two infants, a dog and a wolf in the backyard. No. I’m not being a derpawolf. My roommate took his ‘join the Army’ incentive pay, went to Alaska, and caught and tamed a timber wolf. Erm, me dog is named Ted and he is a rescue dog with mental issues. I probably have some form of ADHD, as I cannot pay attention or stay on task well. You will probably have to remind me to do things if it takes me longer than a week to get to it. I’m… not sure exactly what you guys want to know here. Ask me if you want to know things?

The Created:
Mercia- My happy little Candidate who specializes in shoving sweetrolls down people’s throats. She’s nice, really is, but she has odd maternal habits about her. Also, if someone could kindly attempt to teach her how to read, that would be amazing.


Preferences: Please do me the courtesy of using spellcheck and semiproper grammar. I went through the trouble of learning English, the least you can do is meet me halfway. If I write a super long post, please do me the courtesy of replying with at least two well thought out paragraphs, because otherwise I feel like I’m not being good enough for you. As for turnons… people who look at my posts and not only want to RP with me but make an active effort to keep me interested and entertained. I will attempt to return the favor, but in the event that I get to a point where you are not comfortable with that much wordage tell me and I will stop.

How to Ask: Cbox or IM. I tend to miss PMs, not because I don’t like you but because I just don’t pay attention. Really, I don’t RP in closed threads, so you can just jump right in there and I will be perfectly happy. Ecstatic even. Asking is for complex plotlines, otherwise I’m totally ok with random hanging out and what not in RP form.

Likes: … I’m pretty easy to make happy. Actually, just keep the site going the way it is and I’m made. Shiny art work and good posts make me happiest, so we’re essentially good to go here.

Dislikes: Maybe I should just… make a list.

  • Failed to research and rubbed people’s noses in your fail.
  • Assume homosexuality is there to make your character cool.
  • Assume mental defects or disorders make your character cool.
  • Assume any sort of thing wrong with your character makes you special.
  • Failed to research, and are using the wrong disorder for your behavior.
  • Racism.
Favorite Saying: ‘I am a bastion of uncaring in a sea of b.s.’

Interesting Facts: Uh… I’m not allowed to write smut anymore. Apparently I’m too jaded, write too realistically, and turn people off sex forever. I go to community college not because I’m not intelligent enough to go to regular college (believe me, I made it into Texas A&M without being waitlisted while putting my application in late), but because I am in fact too poor to afford it and my parents refused to help anymore after seeing the first semester bill. After that point I kind of became a lazy and apathetic person. All my hard work turns into being a homeless person, so what’s the point. Uh… I’m half African American and half Aryan German, and one side of my family refuses to admit I exist. I’m also a practicing member of the Norse religion.

Favorite Show(s): Doctor Who, Sherlock, House

Name: Iradial
Nicknames: Laura, Ira, Irah (if you're feeling extra whimsical :D)
Age/Birthday: 18 - July 7th
Time Zones: Washington (State, not DC), Pacific Time
When Are You On: I'm on pretty frequently. I just started college last week, so I'm adjusting to that. So far my workload has been light. But anyway, that means I can't stay up as late, and nighttime is when I prefer to post.

Time RPed: Five years! Though, I took a break for a year or two. Pern is the only fandom I have RPed in. Good enough for me.

About You: The me you see on the internet is pretty much the me you see in real life. I'm pretty calm, pretty friendly, and occasionally sarcastic, because sarcasm is fun. I can be pretty silly, too, especially when I'm tired.

It's pretty difficult to make me angry. I'm usually in a pretty swell mood. Like Barney Stinson would say, when I get sad, I stop being sad and be awesome instead. True story.

The Created:

O'zen, of bronze Lenth - O'zen is a Bitran to the core. He enjoys cussing, insults, drinking, dancing, fighting, and being a giant manwhore. He's also, somehow, Weyrleader. Good thing Lenth's around to add some sensibility into the mix. Though Ozzy's personality is rough, he is very loyal and caring if anyone can manage to forge a friendship with him. There is good in him. Somewhere.

Merilla of green Endyrth - Merilla is generally cheerful and friendly. She enjoys people, enjoys talking, enjoys... socializing in general. She's candidatemaster, even though she is young enough to be a candidate herself, but this is pretty moot anyway, since she keeps her serious biznuss and her social life strictly separate. Her dragon, Endyrth, is a haughty, sarcastic little spitfire who revels in getting attention.

V'sili of brown Epolith - V'sili is pretty quiet and not very assertive. He prefers to stick with his friends or on his own, rather than socialize. He simply cannot function if too much attention is on him; he'd much rather observe off to the side. Epolith, his new dragon, is very social and constantly pushes his rider to stop overthinking and start doing.

Jerund of brown Jerusk - This guy is a tough nut to crack. He does not socialize. When in conversation, he says as little as possible - he's not shy, just very, very private. He loosens up a bit around people he's comfortable with and sometimes, very rarely, he reveals that he does indeed have a sense of humor deep down inside him. Jerusk is far more friendly, friendlier than most whers - unless, of course, you hurt Jerund. Then he'll kill you.


Preferences: I don't look for much. I just like interesting stories and building relationships. I love love love character development. And plots. I try to make my responses amusing, or at least give plenty to respond to, and I like to see the same. But really, I have low expectations. Whatever character, lemme at 'em.

How to Ask: Cbox or PM. Either way works. PMs are good for secret things though. :>

Likes: Ice cream! I love ice cream so much. Also, I like art - drawing especially. I absolutely love music, but I'm very picky about mine. Bands I love: Lisa Hannigan, Mumford and Sons, Fleet Foxes, Rush, The Shins, Gogol Bordello, and other random songs. A soundtrack can make or break a movie for me.

Dislikes: Spiders. Also, drama - I don't like it, I won't be a part of it. If I'm there, I'm there to fix things. I don't mind debates, as long as people are civil and not trying to force beliefs and whatnot. Spiders.

Spiders.

Favorite Saying: But I have so many!
"It kind of sounds like a duck waddling into an electric fence" - Lisa Hannigan
"For as long as I can remember, I've had memories." - Colin Mochrie
"When I get sad, I stop being sad and be awesome instead." - Barney Stinson
"Bazinga." - Sheldon Cooper.
SO MANY. STILL HAVE MORE.

Interesting Facts: I am 5'11. I delight in finding people that are taller than me. I am a ginger. I play guitar and I love to sing, all day erryday. Carrots + A1 sauce = delicious. Ice cream. Sloths can swim, donchaknow?

Favorite Show(s): How I Met Your Mother, Big Bang Theory, Doctor Who.

Favorite Movie(s): Lord of the Rings (Extended Version!), Boondock Saints, Star Trek, Sherlock Holmes, The Holiday - I have so many, they're hard to choose from.

Favorite Food(s): Ice cream. Ice creaaaaaaam.

Favorite Book(s): Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Hobbit, Dragonriders of Pern, Eragon and sequels (lol sue me), Tales of Kolmar, Sherlock Holmes, and much much more!

Favorite Color Dragon: Hard. To. Choose. Brown and green are neck and neck, but I think I like brown more. They're just so awesome.

Caffeineaholic.
Name: Kestrez
Nicknames: Kest, K2 (nono not really)
Age/Birthday: 22 (July 25th)
Time Zones: Michigan, EST
When Are You On: I’m more likely to be on after 5pm my time but will often have time to pop in and read posts during the afternoon/between class/on lunchbreak.

Time RPed: Somewhere around 6 years with a 6-month break in there.

About You: Caffeine addict alert. I blame college. I’m currently a Senior going for a bachelor’s in Biology and minor in Psych and French. My ultimate shiny dream job is basically working with raptors (birds of prey not dinosaurs kids jk) in education and/or rehabilitation. I will most likely get my masters in Ornithology. I am a firm believer in chasing dreams and loving one’s job for what it is and not how much money you could make. I am a very easy-going person and it generally takes very little to make me laugh.

Also a nerd. Yes.

The Created:
Firyn – Current dragon Candidate. Very quiet and is nevertheless often driven by curiosity to get involved anyways. He thinks way too much but is extremely observant when he gets the chance to sit back and watch the world. Posts with him tend to be very thought-based. Shares my extreme love for firelizards.

Z’skel – Wingrider/Brownrider of Iolauth. Currently trying to prove himself at his new home. An insomniac who tends to think later and talk people’s ears off once he gets started. Goes from half-asleep to wide awake and alert (and vice versa) very quickly. Usually good-humored either way. Shares my extreme love for klah (aka coffee).

Preferences: I’m not picky. If a topic dies off without something crazy happening that’s fine. I’ll RP with anyone and love throwing characters with conflicting personalities at each other just as much as those that have similar tendencies. I normally don’t ask people to start mature topics unless I’ve seen them participate in one before, but let it be known that I am willing to participate every once in a while. (they do usually open up lots of plots and development anyways!) Also, forgive me if I don’t manage a reply instantly.

Dislikes…I can’t think of anything that REALLY bugs me that’s not allowed on Vaioa anyways. Just maybe re-read your posts/use spellcheck a little.

How to Ask: PM-away! Even if I’m not online my phone will tell me you’ve sent me a message and I can at least read it (and reply if I have five minutes). I haven’t used AIM in years but could if people want/need me to.

Likes: BIRDS. In case it wasn’t obvious. Actually all animals and nature and science and that sort of stuff. I am very much an outdoors person. Writing, obviously, and reading things non-school related! Also don’t mess with my Red Wings or Detroit Tigers. (and yes I am a Wolverine) As mentioned below I love movies in general and will watch pretty much anything but “slasher” films. I literally go to the movies almost once a week. And of course the fantasy and science fiction genre. Oh and music.

Dislikes: MATH and POLITICS. Math because I tend to see anything above pre-calculus as useless and unnecessary unless you are specifically going into that field. (I had a Professor tell my class that a proof was correct because “that’s how I learned it and that’s how my professor learned it” I have a problem with that) Politics because people that cannot give me a real reason for why they support something seriously make me angry so I generally avoid the topic.

Favorite Saying: Never give up, never surrender.

Interesting Facts: Until like three months ago I played WoW and Rift (MMOs). I bird-band! As in the little metal bands you may see on various wild migratory birds that help researchers understand LOTS.

Favorite Show(s): NCIS, Glee, Seinfeld, House

Favorite Movie(s): Inception, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Master and Commander; honestly I love movies in general

Favorite Food(s): COFFEE. Ice cream.

Favorite Book(s): Tailchaser’s Song, Dragonriders of Pern, the Temeraire novels, anything Discworld

Favorite Color Dragon: Brown! (Blue being a very close second)

Contacts: One day I’ll try to remember by LJ name… e-mail is diamondfire08@hotmail.com

The Shadeliest of Shades
Name: Shade
Nicknames: Shade, Shae, Shadykins, Ame
Age/Birthday: 23|09/08/88
Time Zones: Middle Georgia, roughly two hours away from Atlanta. Eastern timezone.
When Are You On: Generally all afternoon Monday through Thursday. I typically work Friday through Sunday so I'm not on as much during the day.

Time RPed: Roughly 10 years. I began roleplaying in Neo weyrs, where I met Icy. She was my first DRoP friend. =3

About You: In general I'm a pretty happy person. I like to think I'm very positive and constant negativity really gets on my nerves. Cats are probably my favorite pets, and considering I currently have six I figure that is a good thing.

Currently I am working on my bachelors in psychology and have an associates in both art and psychology. I plan on getting my masters in art therapy. However I have no idea what exactly I want to do with that degree, though I am leaning towards helping children who have autism or helping the elderly.

I absolutely love to read. I almost always have either my nook or a physical book with me somewhere. Typically I stick to fantasy or science fiction, though I have dabbled in others books such as Memoirs of a Geisha. I tend to reread books a lot, especially the good ones. I'm currently rereading the DRoP series for roughly the 7th time I think. Finishing up The White Dragon as we speak.

The Created:

Norsa: Bluerider who practically has an obsession with helping people.

Epeelyn: A dragon candidate who spent turns on her own and who knows a great deal about acrobatics.

Kolrin: A journeyman miner who wants a wher. He also raised his daughter by himself for 6 turns after his wife died.

Lynn: An independent 10 turn old who is determined to get a dragon or a wher along with multiple firelizards.

Preferences: I love roleplaying in general. Just ask and I will tend to agree. I love forming friendships between unlikely characters. I will also never turn away from drama, though I have a hard time thinking up my own. Just no super dreary characters, yeah? I dislike too much negativity.

How to Ask: PM probably, though I do try to keep up in the cbox. However, sometimes so much is going on that I tend to miss things.

Likes: Books, painting, photography, cats, and definitely roleplaying. I also greatly enjoy a nice round of Magic the Gathering if anyone knows what that is. I do also enjoy stimulating discussions about theology. I enjoy learning about other religions and cultures.

Dislikes: NEGATIVITY! I cannot stress that enough. I never think a situation is so hopeless that no good can come from it. I really dislike bullying, having experienced that enough earlier in life. Pushy Christians get on my nerves. I know enough about the religion to safely say that I do not need facts crammed down my throat.

Favorite Saying: There is method to my madness.

Interesting Facts: I am a second degree blackbelt in taekwondo. I stand somewhere between 5'10 and 5'11 and I'm super excited that my fiance is taller than me. I've considered writing my own novel. Everything is set in my head, I just can't make myself sit down and type it all out.

Favorite Show(s): Mythbusters. Dragonball Z, but not GT, ick. Thundercats. Lots of old school cartoons.

Favorite Movie(s): The Cat Returns, Tangled, Narnia series, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, and lots of other movies I can't think of at the moment.

Favorite Food(s): I like a lot of different things.

Favorite Book(s): DRoP series, a lot of stuff my Mercedes Lackey, Kate Daniels series (it takes place in Georgia :P), Wheel of Time series, Sword of Truth series, and typically anything about fairies and other urban fantasy.

Favorite Color Dragon: Bluuuuuue!
