A Greeting to you all!

[alastor]

Yeah, I managed to stumble across this RP during one of my recent web-crawls, and it managed to attract my attention as something The Universe needs more of, but generally lacks.

Lessee... I'm nineteen years old (Almost twenty), generally making me an old-pro when it comes to most RPing, and oddly enough, I managed to acquire a taste for Tamora Pierce's writing.

Kinda funny how these things work out, seeing as how her books are mostly geared at young girls, I'm not sure if this is a good or bad statement on my part.

Well, I digress, a pleasure to meet you all... Now to see if my attention sticks long enough to actually get STARTED.

[Sapphire]

Hey! This site is pretty awesome ((I kind of have to say that as Jazz co-created it and she sort of is one of my nearest and dearest friends, so if I said otherwise I would be DEAD. But it really is a good site))

Ok, I am Sapphire. Tamora Pierce, huh, well I started reading her books when I was eleven, so I guess I got a bit hooked or so. I am now..... How old am I? Oh god, I can't remember! Wait fourteen! Ah! Yay! So that was random. Oh well.

Hope this hasn't disinterested you enough to leave the site. Hope you stay!

[Halo]

Well, hi!!!! Or "Howzit" if you want to be more "boer". I'm Halo (No duh!) Fhire and Jazz introduced me to Tamora Pierce. Yep, it's cool.
I'm also fourteen, in Fhire's class and friends with Jazz, but still, even with Jazz's imposing murder threat, this site is cool. Even though I have yet to post etc........ no time to waste at the moment. So, hi.
(I'm random, so don't worry..... i'm like this most of the time.)

[Sapphire]

(I am random too. As you may or may not have noticed)

No, she'd MURDER me! As in I would cease to exist.

Erm, as you may also see, we are south african.

[alastor]

;;; I see...

(Mutters something on the lines of entering the den of evil, then shakes head)

Though I personally have qualms with people actually acknowledging they are random (Which, from my perspective, when people are self-professed random, they actually become more predictable then you might think. It's a funny story how that started, readlly.) I'm not some old fogey that would be immediately repelled by such things.

I'll leave that for the first bit of RPing if that happens or not.

Before I start though, how overused are Shang?

[Avelia]

'Ello! I'm Ally...let's see, I'm almost sixteen and I have two characters on the board I attempt to control. More often than not they control me.

But to answer your question, I don't think Shangs are overused at all. To memory I think there's only a handful of full Shangs. I could be wrong, though. If anything, it's Rogues that are overused, a matter that is really not helped by myself, since Avelia is the snarky Rogue Queen and Luca is a firebug (and you guessed it, a Rogue.)

Welcome aboard, if you choose to stay xD

[Jazz]

No, Shangs are not overused aty all. You would be quite welcome.

I hate these introduction things. They make me feel like I'm in an AA meeting. "Hi, I'm Jazz, I have too many characters to count, and I'm the universal busybody."

But whatever. Welcome. Please do stay. We've had a lack of activity lately, and I don't want it to die (again). Unlike some may have stated, (*coughFhireHalocough*), I'm not that bad. Really.

[Sapphire]

(*coughYesYouArecough*)

There are no Sahng. Wait. Are there??

Weeeellll about Jazz having to many characters to count. That is. Let's see. She doesn't even have space on the character thingy.

About the random thing. We are really, really random. We are lula random. Saying that we are random doesn't even make us less random. It makes us MORE random. Really. You should see my science file. And my english file. And my french file.

Oh, and don't let us DIE (ahem, again)........... Nooooo....... don't let us die!!!!!!

AND! I forgot to say anything about my characters. I have two characters, Sapphire and Elyssa.

And I agree about the overplay of rogues by the way. FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO BE!!!!!!!!!

[Halo]

Piffle!
Jazz- the person who is likely to feel sorry for characters that aren't being played and of course, the over-acheiver(We all so should have gotten irises!)
So, yep, we are sundry and stuff, is that not so??? For some miscellaneous examples, check the cbox!!!!!!!

[Wayne]

Rogues are definitely overused. Shangs are fine. Mages are somewhat common. Knights? I... don't know.

Anyways, I'm Scarlett. Hi!!! I don't know exactly when I got drawn into RPing. I'm only 15, though, so it couldn't have been too long ago.

[alastor]

I REALLY feel old now.

Oh well, (Gets cracking on first character)

[Sapphire]

Ya see. We are still random even with saying so. I started RPing when I was.......hmm.....ask Jazz. She'd know. She was the one who got me into it.

OMG did you SEE the matrics Halo and Jazz??? It was SO sad.!!!! Ok, the matrics left school today. They were all crying!

K, Halo is right about cbox. We really are sundry.
