Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hello Patrick! ^_^ Well met!

My name's Quarla, and yes.. that's my real name. -.- I'm 22 years old and I honestly don't know how long I've been abusing my characters. Probably since I was 13 so... 9 years? I think before the 8th grade I never tortured my characters and they lived cutsy little lives. I try to be nice to my characters but the temptation to do something mean always overpowers me. *hums innocently*

I'm probably not that normal, but my hobbies include DDR, Ragnarok Online, owning 40 reptiles, and of course writing. ^^ My first novel has two more chapters to go before I can start editing! Rather great and scary at the same time I think. Anywho.. that's about it on me. I'm rather new to Gaia so I'm always up for making friends and finding other writers to share works!

-= Q =-

o.o *raises hand* Hello! I'm mystcloud and I'm generally pretty nice to my characters...but since I was ordered to join by the self proclaimed Supreme Dictator/Emporer of the Universe I am here *nods*

I love art

That is all.

*clears throat*

I'm Renae. I am thirteen-years old (I'm going on fourteen the day before Thanksgiving!), and I think I first began writing at eight. When I came up with my first abused character, I was about eleven. I guess you can say I'm a newbie at this, but my perverted, twisted little friends have plagued my mind further. Since then, I have had more of my characters lead dreary lives. I have also been known to make things... a bit 'awkward' in a perfectly good storyline... eheheheh...

My hobbies include drawing, writing, music, video gaming, acting, Roleplaying, and all that other stuff nobody cares about. xD I'm also a really big S-Ai fan, although I try not to let that show too much... (You can't hide what's insiiiiide!!)

myst's charas: *flee from Silver* runnn!!!!

Wow .. I feel old.

I'm terradi, and I'm 22. I've been writing semi-seriously for the past six years and my first and most oft-abused character for abuse is Jory. He is also one of my most beloved characters, strangely. It's not because he's a bad person. I adore him, I really do. He was supposed to be my villain but he took his own course and turned out to be my hero, with a very long and shadowy past that he had been taking pains to hide from others.

I actually feel quite guilty about hurting characters, yet I continue to do it. As many of them can attest to. For the most part I seem to enjoy picking on guys. My girls eventually I tire of and kill. Exception to Iria, but she hasn't undergone true angst yet. Not nearly as much as I plan on putting a character in the works for a future story, Ilanya through. sweatdrop Poor demon. He is not going to be happy.

Ahh yess .. hobbies. At the moment mostly I'm swamped with homework and classes. Struggling to pass everything. It's enough that I'm beginning to understand some of my character's angst. Though mine isn't quite as exciting. When I have a life, I enjoy writing, anime, DDR, fencing and I am an avid bookworm.

I'm amazed! There are a lot of you I've seen before while lurking about the Writer's Forum! Welcome!

I'm Raincrow. My real name (and here you're getting a real treat because I usually tell NO ONE) is Emily. I'm fifteen, to be sixteen in January. Online I'm known as Raven or Rae, occasionally as Raincrow. Just stick to Raincrow while on Gaia for the sake of avoiding confusion. And that's Raincrow, not Raincow. stare

Looking back, I've been a sadist since I was about four. That's why my favorite Disney movies growing up were Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Phoebus got shot! XO!) When I was four or five I would compose little stories and make my mother write them down on the computer and print them off for me to illustrate. I realized I had a knack for writing in first grade, when it was required we write stories. In third grade my teacher said I was simply bubbling over with ideas. I didn't start abusing characters (seriously, anyway) until around seventh grade, so maybe thirteen years old. Before that either all my characters were cats, or despite the fact that everyone died, they all came back in the end. Except for that one guy...who stayed dead...THAT was strange.

Strider used to be my most famous character for abuse, though I adore making all my male characters suffer. It's just not funny when it happens to a female, ja? They're so fragile. I always would beat up on Strider. Now, of course, he doesn't participate in adventures anymore because he's sick of being stabbed, slashed, and blinded. He doesn't have a very good memory of past events, so would members of the ACA excuse him for not having more interesting stories to tell? Thank you.

Vitae is new. He's from a different story than Strider, so they don't know each other. Vitae just showed up in my mind one afternoon, alone in a lighted corner, waiting patiently for me to notice him. He's a very closed person. I'm waiting for somebody kind or annoying enough to crack his shell. He's very anti-tactile.

Er, me? About me...I've spent nearly the last three weeks straight either working on homework at home or staying afterschool to work art projects. Those things eat your soul, dude. School is cancelled tomorrow due to a bomb thread, so I have all weekend to do my Health final! Kheee! I enjoy reading, writing, and the occasional character art that doens't quite turn out, hanging with friends and other writers, watching anime, cooking, baking, and of course putsing about online. I am an English freak, and in love with my plants since I'm allergic to animals. I am also horribly long-winded, if you haven't noticed. And I'm sorry if the small font hurts you eyes; I wanted to save space.

I'm currently trying to write a book that touches upon the romantic, without romance. Eesh, it's hard. Vitae's very existence makes it hard.

Howdy, all. I'm like... way over-due for doing this... but my computer... is just a pain. Anywho.
I am Erika. Pleased to make your acquaintence.
I'm... ah, old enough? sweatdrop I've been writing for a good while now, as well as abusing my characters for a good while now. I love 'em in spite of it all, however.
My hobbies, of course; include both writing and character abuse, as well as Digimon and wasting my poor brain away on video games. Why Digimon, you ask? I don't know, I answer. Oh, yeah. And I love watching karate movies. I could watch karate movies until we're all sick. I especially like the older, cheesy ones. Viva La... Kung-Fu! sweatdrop
As much as I love to write, I am unfortunately a painful procrastinator. On top of that, my motivation and inspiration to write comes in short bursts, which can be extremely irritating at times. Feel free to kick my characters around, but be sure to kick me around as well to "inspire" me to get something done. xp

I am not quite sure what my most common form of abuse is. Often, it's a rather morbid even balance of both physical and mental abuse. To be quite honest, I don't have a common or a favored way of abusing my characters... I practice all methods of character abuse. ^^;;
I RP, as well... but not on Gaia, simply because I have little patience for forum RPs...
*Scratches head.* H'mm. I'm out of things to write. Oh, yes. I have six ferrets and a cat. xp My cat likes to sleep on my keyboard as I try to type... not cool...

[ edit, many years later ] LAWDY, BUT I WAS AN IDIOT WHEN I TYPED THIS UP. New and improved version: I'm Erika, I like theatre and musicals and giant robots. I'm kind of an a*****e sometimes, but it's okay because I can glow in the dark now so all of our troubles are over.
