Behind the Characters

[Jimmy Terranova]

Okay! So I decided to make this thread so that everyone can find out a bit more about the people who they chat to in the c-box, the people who control the characters... also because I am in a talkative mood. So post up a little about who you are, what you do, and why you be.

For myself... I can imagine this is going to be rather long and going with the flow... so it'll be a big mess...


First thing is that I prefer Tristy or some variant of my c-box name to my real name when I'm online, my real name is a bit average. There's nothing wrong with it but I've always known at least two other people by that name at any one time (two in primary school, two throughout secondary school, three in college and three at work for a good while) so... Yeah.

I am 19, my birthday is at the end of January, meaning all my celebration is in winter.... though I'm not one for big parties, didn't have one this year... but we did invade the local pub for my 18th because they wouldn't let us book the place... it was only for family. Speaking of. I have what I guess is a decent sized family, though I'm an only child (don't say I'm lucky) living with my parents. I have 10 aunts and uncles, nine cousins and a single surviving grandparent (never got to know either of my grandfathers, one thing I would change if I could).

I live in Middlesbrough, a town in the Tees Valley in the North-East of England. (Largest town in europe, but that's only because they won't make us a city) we have beautiful countryside, slightly less beautiful inner town though.

I am currently attending the local university, I am going on do a part time degree in English with creative writing (the full-time course was full) and I previously did Business studies with Law (the most boring year of my life).

I am working at a pizza hut in a shopping... area(?) just outside town, apparently it's the busiest in the North-East, and I can believe that. We often have a queue out the door, I don't know why people don't just go somewhere else... I mean... wait times over 30 minutes... for a pizza hut... Still, I don't dislike working there, though I moan a lot. There are some really unique people working there, though a good few of them don't get along.

In my free time I do a bit of drawing, a bit of writing and a lot of lazing about. I am planning to read more and break into my pile of unwatched dvd's (30-something at last count) but... I always get distracted. I have been RPing for over three years now, I started in January, which would make it three years 7 months give or take however many days =D

I am... not good at describing myself. In reality I'm quiet and kinda reserved, but I am more active online. I try to be friendly to everyone, though a good debate won't go amiss =) My mind does kinda go off on tangents without my permission, so if I seem to make an odd subject change I can probably explain how I got to it.

That's about it I guess... well, it isn't I could go on, which is odd, but still. So now... your turn!

[Cap'n Sankari V.]

My turn?!

OMG who be I?! I play Cap'n Sankari, and she's a lovely creature, for sure -- though I don't think many people would agree with me. It takes a special kind of handler to understand her, and I suppose that since a lot of myself went into creating her strange ways, it's easier to see the good points. Or perhaps I just pity the poor dear and only want her to be happy. Or I pity myself ... which, if that's the case, is even worse. O.O; fuck being sad!

Anyway, I guess this is supposed to be the whole behind the characters, so I shouldn't be all, KariKariKari, but I can't help it. I obsess over my characters, and it becomes my favorite thing to talk about with other writers. But I guess I should get down to it, hm? First and foremost, I am C1RCE, in case you didn't figure that out, quite yet. (*patpat*) I've known Cymmie for a few years now and tend to flock behind her sites like some giant shadow waiting to suck up the remnants of muse she dredges up for me. In that way, I'm sorta parasitic. Hope she doesn't mind >w>; I have an obsessive urge to write, a massive reservoir of muse that rarely gets destroyed, but because of that, I tend to be very melodramatic in every day life. I have crazy road rage, and when you're in my home, and therefore, my territory, beware getting in my way. I tend to be docile enough, but once I get going I tend to mow people down. Sorry if I've run you over in the cbox.

I'm a very extreme person -- you won't find me shifting my opinion from one side to other in hopes of making people happy, but if I see that I'm wrong, I tend to be as quick to admit I'm wrong as quickly as I get mad when I'm certain I'm right. Mildly explosive temper, with a fluffy, child-like center, I'm kinda like a tootsie pop.

Vulgar, for shock value (ah, that's my melodrama), stubborn as a mule (ah, my sign, perhaps? Taurus, btw), borderline mean (defensive since I really am more sensitive than I appear) I kinda ricochet between being super friendly and trying to draw people out of their shells, to completely imploding and ignoring the world with my amazing skullcandy headphones.

I'm sexually attracted to music, love good food, and good wine to go with it. Dancing, magic, and all sorts of whimsical dreams. I wish I could hold stars in my hands, and wish I could make flowers grow where ever I want (poor dears always die on me). I want a million bunnies as my minions and wish my life were more like a shoujo manga. (ah, Otaku-chick? Hell yeah!) I hope to eventually learn to play an instrument (well), to see bits and pieces of paradise, and to learn moderation.

Currently, I'm caught between a rock and a hard place, as my parents have struggled to build this fortress around me to protect me from everything but I've been fighting it since I was young, and it's sad to know I've broken their hearts several times in the process. Then again, they've broken mine, too. Sometimes Alicia (ah, that's me --- ah-lee-see-ahh) feels as if the characters she creates are real, and exist in a world beyond human perception. I believe in cowboys and aliens, and that even crazy people can fall in love. Crazy romantic, but waaaaaay too cynical to believe true love would ever happen to me, I write things like this to pass the time.

I'm currently working at a pie shoppe (American dessert pies, for all you British folk out there) but this is my last week. I'm hiking over to the west coast, hoping to find godknowswhat. But maybe it'll find me in the process. In the end, this crazy chick believes that everything will be alright, no matter what.

Oh, I love my grandma.

*wanders by* What's this now. *skims* ooh...party time.

Today on VH1's behind the music we bring you the story of: Smash Googleplex Mountain Cherry Sundae. Yes, SGMCS sure had it all with their groovy bass lines, smooth synth, thrashing power chords, and screaming vocals, but like all bands, and narcotics, when mixed with alcohol it's a sure sign of disaster. After a late night of drinking, a hazy game of truth or dare, and one all to steep turn, the 5 members were found in the flaming remains of their.........What's that? Wrong show? .......shit >.>

Hello there audience! It's a me - ....Demon!!! I'm back with a vengeance, or just back in general. Take your pick, I've got more. Now you're probably asking, demon, where did you go? Well the jokes on you, I never left. I just like saying the line "Back, with a vengeance" Who wouldn't? Right? Right. Sooooo then, you want to know allllllllllll about me eh? Well then pull up a chair buckos!!!

It all started when I was 5, father wouldn't take me to the zoo. Oh I fussed and I fussed I did, gave me a good lashing too, he did. I showed him though, when I ......Oh wait, i'm getting off topic again. Let's just fast forward to the good stuff, shall we?
!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My name is Demon (Justin in the "real" world). I'm 21, and a big fan of Roleplaying. I've been rp'ing for about 9 years now, but to be fair, when I was younger it was a LOT of 1-3 liners, which don't count for anything in any self-respecting rp. *nods* I grew, as did my knowledge (debatable) any my vocabulary and writing skills. So now I stand before you, ready to go toe to toe with the purple-prosing RP giants, ready to spit back a 1200 word response to their gargantuan posts. Not that they're the "norm" but, like faeries, they DO exist, and I stand ready to do battle with them. I rather enjoy long posts. ^_^ Never was interesting in writing in school, but of course that was here is a sentence, make it into 3 pages crap. Rp'ing lets the muse fly free and soar amongst the clouds.

If you can't tell by now, I'd like to think of myself as rather fun and easy-going. Ever the joker and trickster, more often than not i'm in trouble, but such is the price you pay. I go out of my way to try and make everyone happy and laugh. I'm also quite scatter brained at times, but when I'm not I've got a sharp wit and quite the memory. Although along with the good comes the bad, no? I'm a bit quick tempered, more so in certain situations, and i've got a bit of a mean-streak. Innocents have nothing to fear, but those who cross me will feel the sting of my temper.

I'm a lover of animals, and despite what many think, I do TRY to be everyone's friend >.> I'm not as into music as apparently Circe is, *points above*, but it's constantly straining my ear drums ^_^. I love books and television too. I've a soft sport for comedy movies. I am 100% a gamer. Xbox, Ps3, PC I own and play them all (Gtfo Wii players). I don't have a social life, but that's my own fault, and actually NOT a cause of the videogames, lol. I also love to play card games, and am usually quite good at them. Cooking used to be a "thing" for me, but not so much anymore, but I still find it soothing when my best friend and I bake together :3


OOOH!! and I love, Love, LOVE anime and manga too <3
Faves include: Naruto, Sora no, Sands of Destruction, Trigun, School Days, Soul Eater, and Hellsing. + like...30 more :3

General info includes: I'm a tall mofo, 6' +, I have uber curly brown hair, and eyes that have no set color, floating between brown, green, and hazil at any given moment, but they're trapped behind glasses, so *shrugs*. I'm in my senior year of college (4 years), studying to "Visual Comminications, Graphic Arts, and Printing" quite a mouthful, I know. Try having to write it out on 100 forms a semester! >:$. Any who. College student, lives at home, likes women, but there's one I'm caught up on so....*ahem*....moving on. I'm online a lot, but this varies with school and work (when I find a new damn job that is >> ) so you'll probably see me on a lot. I"m Demon in the c-box (obvious statement is obvious). You'll usually see me talking to Trist, question Cymmie, or pestering Circe, it's what I do best after all <3. Oh btw, if she asks, I wasn't here >.> <.< .... *ninja poof*

To any future newcomers; Nihao! and welcome *zombies out for class tomorrow*

[Eliza Johansan]

Hm, something diffrent. Fun!

Alrighty, I play Eliza Johansan, my lovely little German pretty. But I, myself, only have a very little German in my. I'm mostly Italian. Siclian, to be exact. My mother's side of the family is pure Italy, and we have absolutly no clue what my dad's is. We know he's got some German, we think maybe some English, but we have no idea what else.

I'm 14 years old, 15 on New Years day (cuz I'm so specialllllllll) I'm of average height, maybe a little bit short, even though I'd never ever ever admit it. I've got boring brown hair and grey-blue eyes that fail miserably. I'm super near-sighted, so bad that without my glasses I can hardly see what's in front of me, only vauge, fuzzy shapes. I could be described as mild-punk in style, usually choosing darker colors, favoring grey the most. I adore baggy cargo pants and tanktops, but many times go for skinny jeans and tees. I vary.

Personality wise, I'm a total Otaku. And for those of you who don't know what that is, and Otaku is somebody overly obsessed with Japanese pop cullture- i.e. Manga, anime, games, cosplaying, etc. My current top anime is Hetalia, an amazingly funny show about personified coutries that subliminaly teaches world history and affairs. But mostly is pointless and random and downright amazing. I tend to speak loudly, but its not my fault. My dad's rather hard of hearing and I can't help myself. I'm typically a calm person, but I do jump head-on into things. I'm very careful when it comes to physical stuff, since I'm really weak and get hurt easily. But because of this trait, I've never broken a bone in my life, save for a chipped tooth and cracked rib.

I've been roleplaying for about a year and a half, maybe two. My friends (specifically my neighbor, mostly.) pick on me for it, since I don't participate in much else. I claim that I RP because I have virtually no life, and spend all of it online. But I'm perfectly fine with that. I'm not good at much else- I suck at sports, I have no musical talent, I can't write (save for RP) I can only draw manga, so I see myself as pretty useless. Heh.

Hm, I probably could write more, but like I said, I'm a writing fail. You should feel lucky that you got this much out of me.


Oh! And I still play a Nintendo Game Cube. Thats right. Yo jelly.
