Introduce Yourself

[supernal]

My name is Carlos. I'm head administrator of the site, the Mufasa of Valucre if you will as I've been referring to myself for new members for the past few weeks. I like to read, and since my girlfriend got me a Kindle for Christmas, have put well over 30 books under my belt, majority of them classics since those are public domain and free to download.

I also really enjoy watching movies. Watching them critically. Appreciating their aspects of dialogue, plot, characterization and things like that. I'm an IT technician in the TechOps department of a mid-sized business, and I live in New York. Some of my favorites are Legend of 1900, Oldboy, A Beautiful Mind, Waking Life, and Equilibrium.

I have a lot of other interests and hobbies which are polysyllabic and fancy sounding, but which basically boil down to: I like to think. In the interest of being a bit more plain, I'll list a few quick ones off the top of my head. Psychology, sociology, cultural anthropology, anthroposophy, technology, natural philosophy, and free-thinking. I also like to garden.

How about you?

My name is Kat. I'm 15. I'm a student in a boarding school. I want to be an actress. I enjoy reading and writing. My favorite movie is Se7en. My favorite book is The Book Thief. My favorite color is pink and my favorite food is sushi.

I played the marimba in the marching band for two years and in winter drumline for one. I like indie music, but I'll listen to anything but country ('cept when I have to 'cause my stepmom is choosing). I'm basically a college student with a lot more rules, so. Good times.

[Cordeliane]

Hello,

I am called Mina, no that is not my real name, but it is the name I am known by to those one line. I do have a real name which i do not wish to be spoken on Val, so Mina will do. I am a 28 yr old single mother, and a member of the staff of Valucre, I am part of outreach. My job on Valucre is to assist in the smooth intergation of new members and to return into the fold wayward members.


I Have stated I am a single mother, I have a 9 year old daughter, who is lively and fun. When i Am not taking care of her, I am working a a security guard. When not working I enjoy RPing, I enjoy it when working as well, since my boss lets me online, as long as i do my job, Reading, watching movies, Anime and playing games. I also like to bake and cook. I will pretty much read anything that catches my interest right off the hop, and I do not like horror movies much, blood makes me squeamish when it is my own or in movies.

I am an artist as well, I will work in all mediums but digital, computer grapics and art are not my thing I am a traditional artist. I have a love of all things art, even some computer generated art. I have a few things I have done on the forum in my art section. take a look and i am not opposed to drawning or painting something for somebody if they so wish it.


I also Cosplay, and go to anime conventions. Yes I am a geek and proud of it. With the collection of my own personal characters and that of the animes I like i never am out of Ideas of what to dress up as. I like to make my own costumes and work hard at it hand sewing them when I can.

Mina!!!

Everything you will ever need to know.

[Malum]

I'm Eric,

A recent honours graduate from science faculty of an esteemed Canadian school, I major in psychology, neuroscience and behabiour. I've always had an insatiable appetite for how things work. . . Especially people.

My passions are simple and can be summed up in one word: creation. Writing and music are forces in my life that I would die without.

I've been a martial artist for 15 years and am damn proud of all my accomplishments during that time.

My dog's name is Tanto, a cream Shiba Inu who is more of a son than a pet.

I like to drive fast with the windows down.

That's the Coles Notes =)

Funny Fact: I started RPing in 2000. It was introduced to me by a friend on a pokemon website in '99. I was so excited to get my won computer but my foreign mother was terrified to Y2K. After getting dial up I spent the next few years as legandary saiyan.

I didn't know how to spell legendary. Also why my s/n on YIM is L S.

P.S. Also have the best beard on Valucre.

[daevablacc]

I am another psych person, lol. I am eternally facinated with human behavior. I work in an apartment building that houses 41 mentally-ill homeless people. I have internet access at work and a lot of time between duties waiting for someone have a problem. I love my job. ₯ ₯I'm married to my dream girl, and we will be having a baby boy around the end of the year which is super exciting. ₯ ₯I am a lifelong Steelers fan and love them like I love my own blood family. I ref women's flat track roller derby. That is where I met my wife. Yes, she plays derby :-) ₯ ₯I have always loved reading. The genres that always got me were sci-fi, horror, and to a lesser extent fantasy and detective novels. My taste in movies and TV is about the same, but with the addition of comedy. ₯ ₯I totally grew up with a huge crush on Princess Leia and wanted so badly to be Han Solo, lol. Also, when I was a kid my mom read The Lord of the Rings to me and I loved it the first time, and every time after. ₯ ₯I also enjoy playing disc golf. I spend quality time watching movies and TV shows with my wife while rubbing her back, shoulders and feet. I spend quality time with my PS3 as well, lol. Also, I write electronic/industrial/aggro tech/dance/post apocolyptic music with my brother. I have a sci-fi story I work on from time to time. ₯ ₯My roleplay history includes Star Wars and LOTR pen and paper. Um, a few video games such as Fallout and Elder Scrolls. I participated in an SG-1 online rpg like this. After a while it died. Several years later, I wished I could do it again, googled it and found this place. Whew, now I am tired. I did this all on my cell which has only a keypad, lol!

[watchword]

Behold bretheren! Bound not by the brutish bourgeois, nor by bearish bosses who belittle and bequeath none of their bounty to benign beneficiaries, I bemoan my bankrupt and betrodden brothers. Born by a blessed break, my branching brain hath been boundlessly building since before bygones. Even now, bounteous books beget me beautiful beliefs. I bellow "Get boozled" when beating back beasts in board games. Something something you may call me /b/. Bam.

No, but in all seriousness, my name is John and I'm a 22, soon to be 23 (I'm three days Carlos' senior!), year old single father. I attend UNLV majoring in English (though I'm hiatus this semester due to lack of funds). I enjoy writing almost as much as I enjoy reading. I love foreign cultures and languages, and thus I take it upon myself to learn as much about the human condition as possible. That being said, my ultimate goal in life is to development some sort of nanotechnology that has various uses, but I'm primarily interested in it's medical and biological applications. Also, I love tea. I do play some of the vidja games, but not nearly as much as I used to. I am very keen on music, playing about three instruments proficiently (violin, guitar, piano) and a slew of other to a lesser degree (mandolin, stand-up bass, harmonica, etc). Engaging in philosophical discussions and various other debates is also an interest of mine. And that's the interesting stuff.

[Lunadrakla]

Hello everyone! My name is Crystal. I'm also known as Lunadrakla and Mednit online. I'm 21 yrs old and I have a 19 mnth old little girl. Well actually she's 18 mnths but she'll be 19 mnths on the sixth. I'm currently in College. I'm taking online classes. I enjoy reading when I get the chance, playing video games, and watching cartoons. I also play Dungeons and Dragons and Role-play ever so often. Um...I don't really know what else to tell you guys.

Oh, I'm having troubles with an anti-social problems, I love talking to people but lack knowing what to say...So I'm not trying to be rude, I just don't know what to tell you.

[Ronule]

I am James David Clay Ryan, though I go by my middle name David as it was my original first name before I was adopted and my parents thought it was best to keep calling me that. I work as a Photo Tech at Walgreens, though I hope to one day return to college so I can finally become an English Teacher. I enjoy all manner of entertainment, but mostly love to read books or watch anime; and of course being here shows I like to write as well. I'm 27 as of this post and live in an apartment with a roommate who has also been a friend for almost over ten years.

Anything else you'd ever like to know feel free to PM me. :)

[animosity!]

I'm Tabbatha! Uh, I work in a badass pharmacy, in an equally badass hospital. It was Rite Aid...but that changed today! Hooray for new jobs. Previously an English major but found my love for science greater, particularly in pharmacueticals. . .alas, my love for writing still lingers through Valucre. : ) I'm a student to be in pre pharmacy this Spring.

I have a daughter who rocks. A complete obsession with tattoos, of which I have 4 and counting. I'm a cat person. I come off as a sociopath, but don't be alarmed, I only suffer from Borderline Personality. Lolbuttruestory. Uhm. . . yeah. I like playing the bitch role (bitchole to some) but I'm nice and sweet and kind of caring. The end. : )

[Corban]

My name is Roger. I am also known as Corban. My main hobbies include swordplay, cooking, and schematics for sophisticated weaponry and cyberwarfare. I read a lot, possessing a corpus spanning all forms of media. By day, I am an application developer in an energy corporation, specializing in systems integration and swarms.

I enjoy movies and books where the intellectual gets the one-up on the common man, yet demonstrates compassion and understanding reminiscent of all heroes. He is too frequently lynched by the common man, and his strengths are not celebrated enough. Therefore, as the underdog, I want to see him win.

I am a techno-Renaissance man. While I have a glaring vulnerability in Western music and art, I have a good grasp of everything else. That includes nanotech, molecular biology, pimptastic arcology buildings and mankind's relationship with all the above.

"But Roger, how'll this affect existing class divisions when a person's physique is commodified into purchaseable parts?"

Ohoho, an anthropology question! Step into my study and have some milk tea...

[Codeh]

I'm Cody. Not thee Cody. I'm not sure if there is a thee Cody. I've met another Cody, she was a girl.... also met a dog named Cody.... several dogs actually. All of them were labs. Oh and I think I've met maybe two other RPers named Cody... one of them was a douche though. Not to say I'm not a douche, just a different flavor of douche.... Maybe I'm more of a bidet. Anyway I'm getting way off subject.

Similar to Carlos I like to think, I use to be heavily involved in psychology, sociology, theology, and philosophy. Unfortunately just thinking doesn't pay, and while I briefly went to college to get a degree in psych, I quickly realized that due to a lack of motivation and a strong dislike for college environments, college just wasn't for me so I dropped out. Working at Blockbuster was pretty lame so I quit.

So what did I do with my life? I consider my life to be a series of unfortunate and sometimes fortunate mistakes. Nothing rarely works out the way I plan, yet some how it always works out for the best. I'm getting off subject again.

Well I'll tell you one thing, I'm not some slob sitting on a computer jerking it all day. I AM an active member of the community. And a provide a service that isn't for everyone, not to say that everyone can't do it, but it presents challenges that are demoralizing.

After I quit Blockbuster I joined the United State's Coast Guard. Which I tend to frequently rant about. NO! I've never jumped out of a damn helicopter.

In my two and a half years in the Coast Guard I've performed somewhere around 100 to 130 search and rescue cases, and have probably done something like 200 law enforcement boardings. I've had the unique experience of performing ice rescue, driving a twenty five foot response boat small, being the bow gunner on one of these boats, as well as a stern gunner. So not only do I have training experience with the M16, and the M240, but due to my former location in District 9 I received training on the M14. Which I thought was a sweet ass gun.

I briefly responded to deep water Horizon, and played a support role in the Red River floodings in North Dakota. I've fortunately never had to do a body recover.... which I dread.

In recent months I've left D9 for D1 and am stationed in Staten Island New York. There I operate out of the Safety and Security Operations department. We do armed sweeps of foreign vessels that are likely to have Terrorists, Drugs, Stowaways, or Weapons. Along with that I'm a Port State Control Examiner, a facility Inspector, and a Container Inspector. To sum it up I'm an Inspector of things Maritime related.

That's about my job... now about the less interesting stuff.

I've got two kids, a four month old, a 2 year old, and a wife.... who is kinda like having a third kid.

I love video games, movies, and books. Sadly the last book I read was American Psycho, which is also one of my favorite movies. Christian Bale is my favorite actor and my favorite Video Game is ...... I don't really know.

I did 5 years of some silly martial arts called Tae Kwan Do, two years of Karate, and some high school wrestling. I can't even begin to tell you the number of self defense courses I've taken, or the amount of 'self defense' the Coast Guard has given me.

... anything else...... -processing.... processing.... processing- OH!

I'm prone to getting Racquetball rackets slammed into my face, and while I'm fairly active, I do a lot of running, did a lot of flag football tournaments, lots of swimming, and a far amount of weight lifting, I'm extremely uncoordinated and in atrocious shape. BUT! I'm happy and that's what's important.


Oh and I'm 23.

And I have this strange inability to organize my thoughts.... but I refuse to proof read. Which actually makes me think about RP. I've been RPing for I dunno since I was fourteen, I'm 23 now ... 9 years. And I pretty much am the shittiest writer ever based on how long I've done it. BUT THAT'S OKAY I MAKE UP FOR IT BY BEING AN ASSHOLE!


Which reminds me, for those of you looking to be my friend. I'm mean, borderline troll, I'm an arrogant asshole, and a prick.... but these things make me an addicting drug. It's all part of my beheaded teddy bear coated in blood and wrapped in barbed wire while being surrounded by dead bodies and flames, charm. I'm just that damn adorable.

Anywho I hope that you don't have an aneurysm reading this.

[Salvation]

I'm white.

[olivejuice.]

I'm Crystal, better known as Crys. Online, I've been around awhile, but unfortunately don't roleplay as much as I used to. Hoping to get back into it soon but most likely won't have the time. I really love to read, so I hang around alot reading everyone's awesome posts and story lines. I'm really into art, and used to do graphic design non stop (I still do on occasion). I'm really into Stephen King. Just a huge fan, though not all his stuff is amazing. I love to laugh. I love music. I love polar bears and penguins.

In real life, I'm 26, a mom to two toddlers, am a professional photographer that runs her own photography business, and also go to college part time for Business Administration at a local community college.

Don't know what else to say, so I'll leave it at that.

[Omerta]

Sup.

The name's Dre.
