Title: Hello everyone!
Post by: Anton Duvalier on 03 Oct 2010, 14:27
The name's Anton Duvalier.  I'm new to EVE and to EVE RP.  Just wanted to say hello, and start gettin' to know everyone.

I've been RPing for years, but usually with D&D and WFRP, so I'm no stranger to gaming.  In EVE, I'm especially interested in Gallente FW.  However, I'd like to get a like to get a bit more experience under my belt before I jump in, guns blazing.  Eventually, I'd like to start my own corp, and maybe even lead the assault that brings down the Titan orbiting Caldari Prime.  Ambitious, I know, but I like to think big.  Today, Small Hybrid Turrets 5.  Tomorrow, titan killing....

Anyways, I'm in the US Pacific TZ.  I brew my own beer, keep native bees, teach ballroom dancing, garden, play the bagpipes and my girlfriend works in the videogame industry.  I used to play rugby and I still am a civil war reenactor.  That's the 30-second personal history.  

I look forward to meeting everyone!  Feel free to message me in-game.

Anton

It doesn't matter; you said you had no beard. I'm sad.

The cocaine limited my acuity. Well, that and the lack of sleep.

Didn't notice you mentioned ballroom dancing until just now. Gonna pick your brain about it.

Haha!  Yes, I live in Oregon and I'm a foodie (local/organic/gourmet food junkie), but I'm not a hippie, I don't have a beard, I don't have long hair and I don't drive a VW Vanagon.  I'm also not a hipster.  Both assumptions would be understandable, given my home state.

I wish I could grow a lot of facial hair, though.  I'd go for the sideburns-into-muttonchops-into-moustache.  Or maybe even the "flying muttonchops."  But alas, I'm like an elf.

For the record, WFRP is the most streamlined and awesome tabletop system there is imo.

Hmmm....ballroom dancing and Warhammer.  An interesting combo.

I really enjoy the Fantasy and 40k games, along with Warmachine and LOTR.  However, I'm of the opinion that Battlefleet Gothic is the finest, most entertaining and elegant tabletop rulset made.  If you want to talk Warhammer, I'm all for it.  I play fantasy Empire, Night Goblins and High Elves, along with 40K IG, Orks and Chaos Space Marines.  My girlfriend plays Skaven, Brettonia, Black Templars and Rohan.

However, my real area of expertise is in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay.  I've read every single Warhammer roleplay book at least once, and there isn't much, rule or lore wise, that I'm not familiar with.

For ballroom dancing, I do pretty much everything except Argentine Tango.  I love to talk dance, so be sure to ask me about it sometime.

Lastly, I joined EVE with my best friend, Felix Octavian (I was the best man at his wedding a few months ago).  Please be sure to message him and say hi.  He's a lite RPer, and is trying to find his place in the game.  I'm trying to get him involved in the RP community, but he might need some friendly introductions.

WHFRP is the deadly character-eating machine that Dark Heresy is claimed to be >.>

Which is sayan' something, considering the crit tables in Dark Heresy make turning your femur into a grenade a possibility. Mmm, plasma.

Dance talk that involves me and other rakish sorts of my degree of calamity and panache (hurr) will probably have to wait until later, but it will happen.

Your my timezone and possibly (a long) drive away from me and like to dance?!

.... *twitch*

So... little secret - I like to contra-dance and don't do any other type of dance because I don't know how (yet). 

Um.. *stammers* Right... tea... um... where'd I leave the sugar?

Welcome to Backstage - here's my phone number and I'm available next weeke.... er, I hope you find the role-playing community here to have a rich variety of people you can get to know.

*hands you a cup of tea and then disappears from sight a million shades red*

(side note - love my boyfriend dearly - just couldn't resist *giggles*)

and my girlfriend works in the videogame industry.

Missed that my first read... now I look silly.  But I don't like editing out posts.

I also noticed gardening on the list... damn it. *pouts*  My tomato plants died from the cold before they finished their crop, I was sad.

If you're interested in learning more about danicng, send me a message some time.  I know a lot of people in the community (at least in Oregon and Washington), and I could probably refer you to a good studio or club.

Bagpipes? When I got married my groomsmen and I wore kilts and my wife hired a piper. When I die, I want pipers at my funeral to play "Amazing Grace" "Scotland the Brave" and "It's a long way to the top (if you want to rock and roll)."

As for Eve RP, should young Anton become disillusioned with the Federation and go seeking spiritual enlightenment, have him come my way.

...Zu, people go dancin' on a Platonic basis all the time.

Get on the craigslist, you'll find dance partners that just want to be dance partners.

/me endorses any and all mention of bagpipes.


Wish I had the time and mental fortitude to learn how to play them.

Are they from the Goonswarm genus?

Not like, native to the internet.
