So, we already have a dedicated forum for our character profiles and corporations and every now and then I get the desire to know a little more about the players I'm playing with. I figured I'd make a personal little page and share some information about me.

Obviously I'm not expecting everyone to follow suit (but I encourage you to do so!). It's one thing to put up a biography for a fictional character, it's another thing entirely to put up an autobiography. However, it's something I wanted to do so please feel free to ask me questions, state your opinions of me (good or ill) or simply banter below.

Historical Summary:

Born May 27, 1985 in Stuttgart, Germany. Graduated in top 5% of my high school class of 2003 (not that you could tell from talking to me. ) Started the chess club at my high school which now participates in statewide tournaments.

I'm a lead baritone and I sing often for my church (I love to sing). I'm particularly bad at poetry though I love to write short stories.

Happily married (just celebrated by second anniversary) to the most amazing woman in the world. Non-denominational Christian. I consider myself moderately conservative politically, socially and economically.

The oldest of three brothers, my father recently passed away. (Leading to my absence from EVE for several months).

When I make characters in roleplay settings, one of my overarching goals is to make them believable and yet fun to interact with. My focus is to try and make sure that any RP involving me is fun for everyone involved and not just me.

[Lyn Farel]

We might have to change the title of that thread if everyone keeps answering in the same topic.

And since I feel bad reading about someone else private life (with internet as a reference here), I'll bite too. Forgive me if I just use the same form, I do not feel like being very imaginative/creative on that kind of things.

Name: Robin
Nickname: None yet, I think. That's not so much part of the culture like it is in the US where I live.
Online Handle: Valence
Date of Birth: 09/01/1987
Age: 26
Profession: Game industry (Eugen Systems for those who know)
Nationality: French
Number of years roleplaying: 9
Fun facts:

• Types at Unknown WPM
• First character on EVE was Lyn Farel
• Favorite Faction in EVE: SoCT
• Favorite World of Darkness Character type: Malkavians ftw, because I have no clue what I would play in a fantasy world. Maybe a wizard, apparently i'm an elve wizard according to the litmus test. vOv
• Favorite Food: Pastries omnomnom
• Favorite Alcoholic Drink: none, eww, just doing it at times because society demands it
• Biggest Vice: Sugar
• Some hobbies: learning about various sides of military history, which got suddenly worse with my new employment / jap animes (we are 2nd manga consumer in the world after all...) / reading SF books (like most of you I believe) / drawing or digital painting / trekking (at a small scale) if I could find the time again
• The thing I most hate about myself is my utter lack of confidence.
• The thing I most love about myself is my marginality.

Born in north of France in Lille, then lived for 1 year and a half at 4 in England near London, before returning. Then lived in Normandy, and eventually around Paris. Oldest of two brothers (and a sister studying in Spain).

I was a casual Tennis player until lack of time and partners made me stop. Otherwise, I usually suck more or less hard at sports and have a bad stamina.

Since I live in a country of heretical socialistic atheists (32%), thus I am one of them. Hello ! But more seriously, I tend to be quite a technocrat in mind, EU staunch supporter, an eco-freak also, and feeling a lot of affinities with the various pirate parties over Europe.

I usually love to write/draw/paint/create things (like games), which has been a passion since my childhood. But I need to be in the right mood to do it... Which tends to be quite a constraint when already doing that for work.

That's it, now you can start to stalk me. I don't bite, really.

Historical Summary:

Born in the middle of Finland in the wee hours of morning on the fifth of November in the year of our Lord nineteen seventy six.
Enjoyed the first nine years of school immensely, pissed away the next three.
Did my civilian service at a monastery for a year.
Waffled about in the rock n' roll scene for a few years until I realized it was just a wonderful excuse to be an alcoholic.
Spent six years waffling about in the university.
Worked a few years at a theater behind the scenes building props and cleaning up the toilets.
Got myself trained as an Alexander Teacher in Ireland, took me three years and a bit.
Currently getting my own practice going in my hometown.

I've pretty much worked every job in a farm from tilling the soil to burying rotten calves.
I've done my time in a cubicle and chose to scrub urine infested toilets instead because it was less demeaning.
I've helped built houses and for a hoot we blew up an old one with dynamite when we were kids.

I love the cold of winter, I love the laughter of the kids of my relatives and for some strange reason I love running.

Politically speaking I am an abolitionist, current political systems are based on a power structure that is profoundly corrupt that also create corruption. During the information age we should not be thinking that a two thousand year old political dogma should be considered constructive.

Religiously speaking... well, once you've seen 'holy' men breaking just about every rule in their rulebook the organized religion went out of the window.
Then I took a look into the wiccan thing in the nineties, its like a comic book version of the old pagan religions so the neo-paganism has nothing but disdain from me.
Zen was incompatible, buddhism and shinto didn't fit into my culture and these ramadamadingdong people, ffs.
So I'm a pagan, and a finn. All that it entails and none of the above.
Primal connection to the nature and mutual respect.

Damn, I'm rambling again, time for brekkies.

Historical Summary:

Essentially : "Wow, it's been a weird ride... Wait, is this thing still moving ?"
My son Elie is 9 years-old, his mother and I are separated since 8 years. I manage to live an almost normal life with a borderline personality disorder. My father was a calvinist pastor who didn't believe in an afterlife, who hanged himself on my birthday seven years ago (he was always terrible when it came to choosing gifts), I became an atheist after a 2 weeks retreat in a monastery and I wonder if I should erase this ramble or hit post. Oh, crap.

Historical Summary:

Born at 1:15 in the morning already sporting my first bruise (seriously who thought that was a great place to put a pelvic bone?) I spent my early years in a "Start as you mean to carry on" getting bumps and scrapes everywhere.

Due to my older brother owning a C64 and a Z8 I grew up very early in videogaming, that and a love of sci fi which got me reading Dune at a very early age plotted the rest of my life. Infact I can summarise 8-26 like this...

Dune (books) > Dune (Video game) > Dune 2 >Westwood making awesome games> Command and Conquer >Love of RTS > Warcraft >Love of Blizzard lore when it was good> World of Warcraft >The people you meet> EVE.

In that time I've had numerous events take place but mostly all short term and non life changing, except rejecting religion at my Grandfather's funeral, that's been pretty permanent. Other than that, videogaming and a love of Pro Wrestling are the two constants throughout my life.

Oh, and I was on Fun House, I expect no one outside of the UK to understand this line.

• The thing I most love about myself is my empathy

Historical Summary: I was born pretty young but over time I got older. Was big into hardcore, noise rock, doom metal and sludge later in high school—still am, actually—and am a proponent for independent music. Regrettably, have been unable to stick with an instrument and dedicate myself to practise. Still go to shows to see the bands I like whenever possible. I've been erroneously called "emo" and "hipster" throughout my life despite having no connection with the emotive hardcore scene, nor any fondness "indie rock" as a genre.

I was scolded throughout school for drawing, daydreaming or otherwise not paying attention. Eventually I decided I had enough and left high school and home shortly after turning 17 to work and pretend like I was an adult. After a number of years of that my focus came together and lead me to a diploma program at my University which is nearing an end, and I'm looking at returning for another year to major in English (for technical editing) and minor in Humanities (out of interest). I have rooted faith and conviction in Torah, though I'm gentile and not part of any organized group. I loathe being called "spiritual" as a replacement for "religious." I do hand-cut stencils for a hobby craft, though I'm too old to do graffiti.
