I'm thinking while we are waiting to get more members and move our board along, we might as well get to know one another a little.
My name is Lille and I'm one of the administrators on this lovely board Roy created for us. You'll most likely see me around helping generate ideas and helping out with character applications. For now, I'm just playing Julian Evans, a merchant, but I will likely pick up another character down the road. My AIM name is 'whilexyouxsleep' and I'm always willing to chat. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to zap me a PM or catch me on AIM. Just tell me who you are first so I don't assume you're spamming me.
Let's see... I'm seventeen and live in the Southeast region of the United States. I've been writing since I was five and started RPing about a year ago. Besides writing, my favorite hobbies include horseback riding, photography and music. I work as a marketing intern and I'm entering university this fall as a journalism major and political science minor. I've got two cats (Prince & Beauty), a Beagle (Cinnamon) and four fish (Scatha, Samden, Sinai & Bow).
Besides the general "in a nutshell", I'm not sure what else to add. I'm pretty social and love talking to if you're just looking for someone to chat with, I promise I don't bite. =)
P.S. This is basically the introduce yourself post. I don't think I clarified that very well.

Allo dar!
Name is Tyssa Mae, but I drop the Mae part cause it makes me sound nerdy. I work with animals for a living and also do a lot od volunteer hours in my free time at no kill shealters. I'm thirty years old and love Tamora Pierce books. I've authored a fanfic or two of my own and also am working on me own Tortall board.. though I am still learning things and like to be concise and all.

Hi all! My name's Lea. I'm slightly crazy. Acually, let me rephrase that. I am very crazy. I love the Tamora Pierce books.and... hmm... I love writing and animals. I like fencing a lot. Our family has a dog (Milo) two cats, one small cute one and one fat one, (skinny: Dragon, fat: Candy, Dragon's a boy) and a few horses. One of them is mine. Her name's Wisher. Yup that's me.

oi oi. What ho me old fruits. I'm Ruth aka Nana (I know I'm not technically the oldest but it's a board nickname that's stuck.)
I'm 28 and a History teacher at a secondary school (read High School) just outside of London. I'm kind of used to being the token Brit on these boards now and although 17th century isn't my pet period I'm pretty good on the details and things like heraldry and peerages and what not. (One of my best friends is a titled Lady.)
Umm...what else. Fan of rock and punk music, politically I'm very much a liberal. I'm in to art, theatre, music etc and I'll happily harp on about a multitude of topics.
yeah...that's me really.

Well, I'm guessing I'm one of those new kids outside the clique, but it's happened before and it won't kill me. Just browsed along from the ad placed on the Tortall LJ community and thought it looked interesting - and I'm at a lack for good RP lately. So hi - I'm Nikki, or Achenar, depending on whether I'm online or not. I'm an eighteen year-old IT university student, I'm Australian, and I've been RPing since I was eight--holycow. That makes ten years. O.o I hadn't realised. So if Ruth/Tobias is the token Brit, I'm your token Aussie, though I'm going to have to hate the word 'crikey' less and learn to surf to fill the stereotype.

Hello everybody! I found this through the post on the LJ community too, thanks for posting it there!
I go by the nickname Bunny online, which is caused by my connection to bunnies. My family breeds show rabbits, we have about a hundred in the late summer, slightly less during the rest of the year.
I just turned sixteen, live in Sweden, and attend the International Baccalaureate on the biggest school available here. English is my second language, French my third. I'm obsessed with grammar and pride myself with knowing quite a lot of it.
I've only been rping for almost a year now, and I love it! The place I've been on so far is chat based rp, which takes a lot of time to be up-to-date with, so I'm hoping this will be a bit easier and less time consuming.

Just got to work out what kind of character I'm going to app. Hrm.

Greetings to one and all.
My name is Santiago Rozarria and I was born in Spain. I moved to the United States at age 12, when my father passed away and my mother (whom was a native of the state of Ohio in the USA) decided to return to her country of birth.
I am a pretty laid back guy and enjoy a lot of roleplaying. English is my second language, with Spanish of course being the first, so sometimes my English can be a tad choppy. As you are aware, Tyssa is my lady and soon to be my wife, though in all tecnicallity, we've been common law married for years, living together since age 21. I hope to fit in on this board and make a few friends along the way, yes I do.

Oh, I'd love to go to Spain one day. /random/ Haha. I loved the architecture when I studied it in Art History. Very cool.
It's nice to meet all of you. I'm all excited to see our little board growing so quickly!

Hi
I'm Ari (at least, that's what virtually everyone online calls me)...I heard about this RPG through the LiveJournal thingy...
I'm (*cringes*) 13, which makes me younger than everyone else here. I live in Germany, I moved here when I was seven, I used to live in the States.
I've been on RPGs for maybe a year (a Harry Potter one, in the time of his parents...there are snails known to be faster than us... ^^)
That's probably about it. Nice to meet you.

heeeelllo.
i'm kai, which isn't my real name but even in real life that's what eveyone calls me [and yes, it is a girl's name as well as a guy's name!]. i live in the UK and i'm 14, been playing rpg games for a year now. i started with a horse one last year, and i only just found tamora pierce theme ones - i think my parents probably found me unconcious, the only other people i ever met who had HEARD of the books were a cashier in the newsagents i bought First Test in and somebody from another [horse themed] game.
i wrote a lot, sheesh, i ramble.
hi. that's all i needed to say.

Howdy! I would be Aly. I'm pretty much a rabid RP-er (which is just as glamourous as it sounds, lol) and I found this place because a)you guys affiliate with a board I mod, and b)you guys affilate with my own board (ye olde tortall) and I figured, "Self, you only RP on like, ten boards. WIMP."
Hmm, let's see, actual information... I've read all of Tamora Pierce's books except Terrier (because it just doesn't...appeal to me, I guess, which is stupid, since I run a Terrier RPG, lol). I like Song of the Lioness best, just because the originals normally hold a special place in my heart.
I'm also kind of insane. On another RPG, I've earned the repuataion of 'That Girl Who Talks To Herself In Chat'. ^^ It isn't my fault if anyone isn't on and I get in fights with that chatbox! (it filters my words, and then I start yelling at it FOR filtering my words and we just brawl it out.)
I have a horrible addiction to thrift stores, Hot Topic, and MCR, and I also have the habit of impromtu dancing... in public.
OH. You were SO not expecting the public part. *giggle*
