Alright...since there will be about a gazillion Chrisses or the like
warrin'... I think I will go by the pseudonym... Zoe :)
K. Astop
Tinker
Just don't bomb my house, please.
And here is Peter's permission to use his ham call sign.
I give my permission for my call sign (VE3 ORI) to be used, by the Knightie faction only, in War 10.
Peter Newman
I like relatively simple clothing in "neutral" colors and deep reds and black, and am given to wearing long skirts and dramatic cloaks and other things that would probably look much better on a taller person.
Quiet by nature, I design gardens, I have no martial arts or organizational skills, (and what, you might ask, am I doing as a warleader?) and I don't sing. {g} I can draw, and I know rather too much about gardening. I'll have my old Bentley and my new laptop along (with the cell-phone connection I can't get to work in RL).
Personality -- Well, my friends say that they'd hate to see me drunk if this is what I'm like sober . . . I can be loud and opinionated, I'm quick to speak my mind, and sometimes forget to think. ;o) Being new to knightie leadership, I'm really looking forward to this war.
Generally a shy person, I open up and let my hair down around friends. I'm a ham radio operator and will be bringing my portable rig. I will be able to operate Nick's station (as established in War 9). I will also be bringing my trusty laptop computer.
As for my personality I am a twilight knightie, and of the rare bouncing knightie variety (don't worry I have a good angst quotient also).
Skills -- Let's see, I rollerblade, horseback ride, sing, run and climb pretty well. I
have this sword {eg}. Uh I do accents, bird calls, write poetry, stories,
speaking and acting training, look innocent and harmless rather well and
have a mischievious sense of humor with a fondness for irony and plays on
words and having all sorts of great ideas but please don't ask me to
actually carry them out. {g}
P.S. I do really good vanishing acts since I fit into all these little spaces...and I'm going to be missing in action in RL yet again. {chuckle}
General Personality Type: Some have said that I am intense, with a dry sense of humor and sometimes unnecessarily sarcastic...But I like to think I am laid-back with an edge ;) I'm a fairly open and friendly person (especially with friends), but get on my bad side and EEK! I can be a meanie-pie! :) And I've been known to be cocky in probably not the best of circumstances (hence the unnecessary sarcasm)...and unfortunately, I sometimes don't think before I speak...:)
Special Skills: Hrmmm...I have the unnatural talent of getting where I wanna go by taking the longest and most convulted route possible, but hey, I get there!... I can usually talk myself outta any sticky circumstance (with mock innocence or just plain manipulation *grin*)...and I can paint/draw a mean portrait..hmmm or anything really (just don't ask me to do landscapes...*shudder*)
Personality -- Hmm. More an observer than participator
or talker, except when you get me on a topic that 1)I
feel passionately about or 2) I know too much for my own
good about! Tend to be understated. Good in a crisis,
it's afterwards that I fall apart. I'm a glass half-
full type of person and believe that there is always a
solution to any problem as long as one is creative about
it.
Special Skills -- Organizational skills and problem
solving. Horseback rider/owner for 30+ years. Intuitive
rapport with horses/dogs/cats (but I'm not implying ESP,
just read body language well). Can do public speaking.
Been in the computer industry working mostly on
mainframe databases for 20+ years.
PS. As part of my other faction of choice - Les Chevaliers de la Nuit (LCN) - We are bringing our horses with us to participate in the war.
So, stats on my horse....
Name -- Allie's Brook, aka Brook (yeah I know - but his
previous owner, Allison, named him after Garth Brooks!)
Age -- 15
Height -- 16.2 hands
Weight -- 1800+ pounds
Hair Color/Length -- Chestnut, long mane and tail
Eye Color -- Deep Brown
Personality -- Real people-oriented. Loves to be groomed
and eat carrots. Smart for a horse, learns quickly, and
slightly hyper. Startles fairly easily.
Special Skills -- As an ex-racehorse, he can run fast.
General personality type -- generally reserved with people I don't yet
know; outgoing and friendly thereafter
Special skills -- CPA, so I can manage the finances {g}
Other notes -- I play piano, although I don't get to practice much. Would love the chance to play on Nick's grand piano. Also, I will be going on vacation on the 21st. I was thinking about writing myself home on the 20th, but will consider being written to stay at the loft and cook or something for the duration.
General personality type -- quite shy generally, but liven up somewhat with
friends and of course Nick! ;) Love good jokes and scarcastic humor.
Special skills-- Well...I do floral arrangements...silk and fresh. I can cook
pretty good. Will lend a hand to anyone who needs it.
Special skills -- speak French, can stumble along in Polish, German, and
Romanian. BA in Medieval Studies, MSN as family nurse practitioner. Will bring
medical bag to the war.
Personality type -- in groups I'm less chatty, preferring to stick to
one-liners and puns for humor. Have cynical sense of humor, appreciate black humor if it's
well done. Willing to do sneaky things and work undercover for Nick. (Actually, there's not much I won't do for Nick!!)
I am a pretty out there person who likes ta party!! I can party and drink more than most people and can do gymnastics.
Personality -- I am usually quiet in person and serious. My thinking tends to logic and practicality, although I have imaginative ideas too. I'm afraid of heights. I have a long standing interest in vampires (but don't want to be one). I find some male vampires sexually attractive.
Special Skills -- Not much in the way of war skills, except for (I hope) creative ideas. I'll have a laptop with me. I've been a War Correspondent and can do that again too. I'm a War Veteran and past War leader, having played in every war except the first one. I can draw. I write fiction and sometimes poetry. I can wiggle my nose like a rabbit. :)
Other Notes -- As established in War 5, I am a direct mortal descendent of LaCroix (which may or may not be useful). I have fair skin and freckles. I have a husband, a 13-year old daughter and a cat, but none of them are playing this war.
I'm an overly bubbly person, but I get my dark moods all too often. I can be absent-minded (ere the voting of lost in the fog in my HS yearbook). I get alot if dirty looks because of my dry wit...ack, I hate that phrase. I'm pagan. Oh yeah, I love to sing, so if in need of a screechy soprano, I'm there!
Special skills -- singer (a dramatic soprano), um, a really good goalie/a drummer/pianist, and, uh, I can, um, do naked cartwheels and have the ability to look really innocent even if I'm not. :)
I used to wear all black, but now wear 'perky' clothes--dresses etc., but always with running shoes! But in the war, I would probably wear my fav romany type clothes!--full skirts, etc.
Personality quirks -- I'm pretty shy, but a good listener
Job skills, hobbies or talents -- Hmm...well-versed in biology lab techniques
(especially those of the molecular/genetics sort), relatively fluent in
French, I remember faces really well.
General personality type -- uh...
Quiet, opens up among friends, very much the practical thinker, & tends to be blunt (either blunt or quiet), *very* self reliant. Very open minded, loves to meet people & travel
Special skills -- Former lifeguard, Spanish bilingual, little bit of French, good pencil sketcher (w/ a photo), knows NW outdoors, wonderful driver, Canoeist... um oh & I know Canada, great sense of direction & can read a map inside & out.
Resources & quirks -- Will gladly bring *my* RV (long story) on War trips. Myself & 5 passengers/sleepers (has CB radio), will gladly fly anywhere required (I adore planes), humouristically challenged (meaning most jokes go clear over my head). I can also be classified as nearly every non-African ethnic group... People don't know what to make of me. Will happily eat seafood till...the cows come home.
Personality -- Very out-going (used to be a radio DJ in Minneapolis) and can talk to ANYONE, easily!.....Love cracking jokes and teasing people (in fun, only.) I have a sick, morbid, dirty and silly sense of humour, and own 6 cats and two snakes!
Skills -- I love to shoot my 22 hand gun, as well as my compound bow. An accurate archerer and shot. I play classical piano, and used to sing lead vocal in a country-western band in MN. I'm pretty proficiant with a computer, and love writing. I am an artist, painting with oils, usually scenery, but also draw and design logos. I am very good with calligraphy, and have designed logos for several local bands.
I will bring anything to the war that concerns any of the above skills!!!!!!! Just let me know!!! I will bring my bow, or my hand gun, if you like!...or my "people skills" !!!!!!!!
Personality quirks: yes, several (sarcastic, stubborn, and sneaky)
Hobbies: fiddling with anything mechanical or electronic that is within
arm's reach (hence, Tinker). Can invent outlandish, far reaching excuses at
light speed.
I am a receptionist, which is an excellent profession for me since I love to talk, I have a great sense of humor (so I have been told) and I love to laugh! I love to read, watch t.v., go to movies, love to be on the internet!!!! and eat out, not very physically active I'm afraid but I can charm people when the need arises.
Personality quirks -- I LOVE to do things on impulse.
Skills/hobbies -- In War 9 Nancy taught me how to run a ham radio base station (on the roof of the loft), I ride horses, cross-stitch, knit and LOVE to play trivia (I have
a good memory of first season FK). I also love animals, but we learned
in War 8 that having a large number of animals in the loft is not
necessarily a good thing.
I am very outgoing and friendly, also affectionate...translation -- I hug a
lot. Hehe. I am also a nurse so I can be useful in minor injury situations. I
don't have a laptop, but I am pretty handy with my home computer, not that I
will have it with me. Sorry guys. I also sing, but can't think of how that
might prove useful in this war.
Personality -- I'm a "Walking Contradiction." 'nuff said.
Special skills or talents -- I have an uncanny ability to "sign on people's behalf's" aka "forging signatures." Of course, I only use it for good.
