Well, every forum has one - why not ours? Step by here to introduce yourself - and see who the other users are I'll be polite and start with myself I'm Anna, by most people in the Star Wars community known as Mara Jade I've been a Star Wars fan since I was 8 years old, maybe, and I've been a Roleplayer for 5 or 6 years. I'm one of the admins of a Danish Star Wars forum called Skywalker.dk, and in there I'm the GM of a cosy little rpg which some of you probably know all too well But this is something completely different, and Anakin and I've been working on it for 1½ years now I think Well, anything more about me? I like to think of myself as being creative, drawing, writing, singing and stuff I love most fantasy and sci-fi movies. Also, I'm a cosplayer At the moment I own a Mara Jade, a Padmé, and a Tianara Nain (self made character) costume Hopefully, there'll be more to come Well, that's all for now, this headache wont allow me to think of anymore

Well, I guess I can go next. My real name is Christina, but in Star Wars community I'm known as Jaina. I've been a fan of Star Wars since I was 8 years old. I saw at least one of the movies once a day, at that time, and two years later I started to read the novels, and it's never stopped since then. Today I'm still as enthusiastic fan as I was then. Probably even more. Like Mara, I'm also a member of the Danish forum Skywalker.dk, I'm not an admin, though just a normal user I was introduced to play-by-post roleplaying, by Mara and Anakin and have a character in the Skywalker rpg. plus another Danish roleplaying forum, called Pirates of the Old Republic. Otherwise I'm mostly interested in the general knowledge about SW, but I also at the time work on two costumes, a Harry Potter one and a Jaina Solo costume. Well, that's about it from me

Post by Captain Picard on Aug 24, 2008 23:01:48 GMT 1
I am Jean-Luc Picard, captain of the USS Enterprise ;-) Okay, I am not Picard, but I admit it, I am a Trekkie, but I am also a huge Star Wars fan, having loved the movies since, oh, long before you were born ;-) I started playing RPG some 15 years ago, so I have plenty of RPG experience. Besides, I've read a whole bunch of Star Wars comics, novels, and short stories (and played a bunch of computer games too), so I have some insight into the wonders (and disasters) of the EU. I joined this game because I was invitated by the admins, and I though it would be interesting to try PbP-RPG in English which, I feel, is natural in relation to SW. I also felt honored receiving the invitation, which certainly was a motivating factor in my joining this scenario as well ;-) I currently have three characters. Here's some "behind the screen" info on the chars. - Jaymz Kirok: The name is a perversion of "James Kirk", "Kirok" actually being the name of Kirk's alter ego in an episode where he loses his memory and settles in with a tribe of Native Americans who had been relocated from Earth to another planet in the 19th century by an alien race. The character is inspired by the Gothic literary achetype sometimes called "the wanderer"
- Rykor: Also a Trek-based name, Rykor is of course inspired by "William Riker" from NextGen. The main sources of inspiration for Rykor are the Brazilian duglords of the farvellas and the North American gangsters of the 30s and 40s.
- Dr. Mitker "Shorty" Forg: The physical appearance, and choice of species, is inspired by a character called Gribbet who appears in "The Bounty Hunter of Ord Mantell", which I'm currently reading. Rybets are kind of frog-like, so I came up with the name "Mitker Forg" which is anagrammically based on "Kermit" and "Frog". The character itself is based on Tintin (who's an investigative journalist) and Indiana Jones (who's an adventurous academic).
More to come.

I'm Jen or Padme of Hidden Lake. I've been a fan of SW since I was about 1 year old when I refused to go to bed for my dad and ANH was on HBO. He told me I could stay up and watch with him if I was quiet. I was enthralled with the story and sat silently (a very big feat for me at the time) through the whole movie then fell asleep during the credits. It became our routine when mom was at a meeting to watch one of the movies before bed - little did he know what he was doing... We finally got a computer with internet a couple months before I went to college (it was 99 so not too late) and my first message board was Jedinet. I started RPGing when Jedinet went offline after being invited to a new forum by other displaced Jedinet-ers. I was going through some rough times in real life and created my character as a way to escape and deal with everything that was going on. I left there when I found out that every other character was being written by the same 2 people and they would get upset if you didn't follow thier plan and took everything said about thier character personally regardless of the affiliations of the character saying it. So I was really excited to be invited over here from the Coniverse forums and to be able to bring her back to life in a new era!
I am also a cosplayer and have a couple Padmes and am working on making my character as a costume.

Hello all, my name is in the real world is Tyler, but you can all call me Torren, which is my username...unless of course you want to call me by my real name then that's ok too. I'm a huge fan of star wars and have attempted to create several star wars PBPs but all ended up burning out upon creation. I found this site via Google, which has been a great asset to me. I've been playing online rpgs like this for little over 5 years now and enjoy it quite a bit. My interests include cooking(i love cooking), baking, and sadly some gaming (meaning dungeons and dragons sadly....i don't do any and haven't done any of that in almost a year now...it still interests me though.), and watching good movies.
I didn't recieve any formal invitation to join this site and i hope that it is alright, for i look forward to rping with all of you. If any of you want to rp with me, feel free to PM me.
P.S.~ I did a number of star wars games....DnD style -_-......but none the less i know a crap ton about the species and saber forms if any of you need a reference........just thought i'd throw that out there ^_^

This thread looks pretty old but I thought I should go ahead and post here anyway. Hello my name is Cole. I live in the Southeastern United States, specifically the state of Tennessee. I found this site by almost complete accident but I really liked the story behind it and have been a Star Wars fan for as long as I can remember. I've played online play by post RPG's off on for about two years now but never really found one that I've just flat out loved. Usually real life would get in the way of being able to keep up with necessary posting. This site looks pretty chill though and I love how I don't think I have to write a page to get in a thread so hopefully this will work out well. If you'd like to post with me shoot me a pm and we can figure something out.

Hello Kalen and welcome! The only reason the topic is old is because it's been ages since we had new players joining us! So just happy to see someone new here You might want to create another account. As you may have noticed, there seems to be quite a lot of members in here. The reason for that is that everyone has at least two accounts: One for (each) their characters and an Out of Character account (such as this one I'm using now) that we use to post on the out of character board (The two admin accounts are used for GM work too, which is why I've used this one for our thread) But! Once again, welcome!

Hello, Cole, and welcome. I just realised I never introduced myself here! Duh. So, I'm Lora. Well, that's what you can call me, anyway. It's my screenname just about everywhere, so I react to that. I got introduced to pbp at skywalker, where Mara said I should join the game. I'm also a (the) moderator on the site and so do a fair number of things to keep the general board tidy. I joined up here, because I was asked whether I wanted to try a new scenario and I wanted to try playing in english. Now, I've been told I should/must have at least two characters and so is working on a second character. I've also been told I'll get beaten with a stick soon, but that's just to keep me from getting too absorbed in school stuff. See, the GMs care about the players... I like people with a sense of humor and I'm a fairly relaxed person. Hopefully my next character will reflect some of that, 'cause my jedi master is certainly not very relaxed. Other than that, I'm very into the literature; I've read all books in the NR era, almost all in CW era as well as comics in those eras. I've also read NJO, DN and some OR and Empire, but I'm missing more from these eras. Legacy hasn't caught my interest. I read a lot of ff, mostly Luke/Mara, since I love their interaction and I love jedi, but I'm not exclusive. I also write now and then, but it's very sporadic. I'm also a cosplayer. Currently I'm cosplaying my own jedi character, but I'm reworking my Leia. Hopefully a few other costumes, sw and others, will be added to the list sometime during this year. *fingers crossed* You're welcome to pm me if you'd like. I don't bite, promise.

I've realized that I've never introduced myself here... I'm Camilla, though to most SW people (especially those around here ) I'm known as Qui-Gina Jinn, or Gina, for short. I've been a Star Wars fan ever since I saw Ep. IV, V, VI and I on tv, leading up to the opening of Ep. II. That makes my entrance into SW fandom quite recent, at least compared to most others After watching the movies, I wanted to know more and couldn't get enough, so I went online. There, I found the Jedi Council/FanForce forums at TheForce.net and that became my online SW 'home' for a very long time. I made a lot of good friends there, even though I have only met a handful of them IRL (one of those I've met being a wonderful Australian girl.) When the Danish part of FanForce slowly died out, I discovered (actually re-discovered) skywalker.dk and started to go there more and more. After a couple of years there, people convinced me to join the roleplay over here... As for eras within SW, I mainly prefer the prequels and before that, jokingly referring to everything after ROTJ being 'too late'. I love reading too, both books and FF, and I've written a few vigges myself too. And here is one more cosplayer, mainly doing different Jedi

Uuuuh, introduction... Well, I'm Dust, sometimes referred to as Henriette, or any abbreviations thereof. I'm a fan of awesome things that don't exist, including, apart from starwars, magic (arcane as well as divine), magical creatures and paranormal things in general. I have a special love for vampires (but do not mention that sparkling semi-fairy in front of me, unless you want to hear exactly how much I love to hate a certain series...). I see myself as creative. I write, draw, paint, sew, and create what I feel like. Not long ago I was dragged into the dangerous hobby of cosplaying. I am trying to keep it at a state that will not slaughter my economy, but I feel my spine disappearing slowly... I love to create stories and characters, and I started as a play-by-post role player on skywalker.dk. I've played a little pen-and-paper too, but never live. Perhaps some day I will. I rarely bite, and if I do, I probably just have a bad day (and I don't really know what more to write, so if you don't already know me, I guess the best way to get to do that is talk to me I'll be nice, I promise! ;D) *curtsies*

Hello Well, I'm a 23 year old dane. I've never really done any Star Wars RP before, but so far i'm looking forward to it. My interests are mostly gaming, roleplaying and, i'm sad to admit, drinking - Once a bartender... So far, I'm looking for a good thread to introduce my character in. Otherwise, i'll just think up something others will join - Christian.

Hey peeps! A friend of Christian's ("Darklaw", above) popping by on his recommendation. He and I go way back and we started role-playing at around the same time, and we've been role-playing ever since, since our feeble start with an improvised Dungeons & Dragons ruleset based on our limited knowledge of Neverwinter Nights' mechanics. Good times! I'm studying to become a game programmer/artist/designer (yes, it's a bit of a mouthful!). In my spare time I've been known to play computer games, draw quite a bit and write a few short stories from time to time. Star Wars has never been my favourite setting, but I figure if there's something I don't like it's up to me to create a character I can still enjoy. Also, role-playing, even in the worst of settings, always ends up being awesome if the players are any good! I'll be stalking around for a little while to get an idea of how the unwritten rules are around here, but I look forward to getting to know you all in-game too! P.S.: My real name happens to be 'Morten'. Now you know that too.

I better introduce myself as well, now that we're about to start afresh! I'm Julie, known by the name of Aayla in Star Wars communities. I've been a fan of Star Wars since I was seven, I think, and startet roleplaying back in 2006 on skywalker.dk (with Mara as the GM), where my very first character actually still exists. I also enjoy other roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons, Warhammer and the like. In my real life I am a student at Aalborg University where I study Techno-Anthropology. What's that? You might ask. Well, long story short, it's about society, technology and science. (It has nothing to do with bones, cavemen, or techno-music. ) Beyond that I love music and save some extra money as lead singer in the local church on sundays. I'm also very interested in reading and writing and I like history and philosophy. I'm looking forward to playing with you all. ^^
