exxie, first character, intro

Howdy! I'm Exxie, and I'll be bringing Tristen from C.J. Cherryh's Fortress Series in. If you've never heard of it, I highly recommend reading it! If you're (like me) cheap, however, and don't want to buy books you're not sure you'll actually like.. plz to be letting me know, for I have the audio-books and I'd be happy to share. (: My only warning is that the narrator is dull, which is a shame, because the actual story is amazing.

Anyway! What about me.. er.. I'm twenty-three, I've been RPing since seventh grade (yes, I am in fact a horrible nerd), and I live in Japan, soooo-- I'm on the opposite schedule for many of you. (I did notice that someone here is from Australia? Or did I imagine that?) With that said, I do have a computer at work (where I am right now), however.. being Air Force, they watch this stuff like a hawk, so I probably won't be doing much playing during your evenings, except on weekends and holidays. ): Sadface.

I do have AIM, though I don't use it nearly as much as I use MSN. Both are listed on Tristen's info.

Very glad to be here! :D

-Exxie!

Sidenote: I am not at all happy with Tristen's pb, but finding someone to fit his look is a pain. If anyone has suggestions for a man in his early-to-mid-twenties, tanned, long dark hair and light-coloured eyes that can pull off naive/innocent and also 'I-am-the-High-King-hear-me-roar', plz to be letting me know. I will love you forever.

Hi Exxie, I'm Ally. Welcome to the Laybrinth!

I'd be interested in those audio books, too. I listen to them at work and generally get through a book or five a week.

I have four characters: Xena, of course, from Xena: Warrior Princess. She's been described as a lunatic with lethal combat skills. But that was when she was persecuted by the Furies. Not an every day thing, thank goodness. I also have Giselle from Enchanted (

ever_ever_after). She's a bit of a nut. She talks to animals, has an unnecessary amount of optimism, and she sings at random moments. She can be annoying to some, but others love her. My next character is Robin of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (

taylorwade). He's the steal-from-the-rich-to-give-to-the-poor type of guy. He's all noble and friendly and would probably get along well with Tristen. He likes his ale and he's kind of a genius at archery. Last, but not least, is Cathal from a book series called the Sevenwaters series (since there are technically four books) by Juliet Marillier (

otherworld_heir). He's kind of hard to get to know. His father is Mac Dara, the Lord of the Oak of the Tuatha De Dannan and he's been trying to get Cathal back to the Otherworld since he was seven. He's a great warrior but he's kind of rude and sarcastic most of the time.

I like your PB, personally, but I have a couple of other suggestions if you're interested: Arlen Khachatourians, Taylor Kitsch, Trent Ford, Charlie Cox, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Gaspard Ulliel, Stephen Strait, Mika, Oliver Goodwill, Emile Hirsch, Alex Turner, Teddy Geiger, James Rosseau, Nicky Bryant and Tom Wisdom! Uh, make that several suggestions. Got a little carried away, sorry!

Thanks, Ally! Nice to meet you! :D

Sweet, I'll definitely try to get them to you asap. They're really worth the boring narrator. XD

I remember Xena from Back In The Day. I watched it along with Hercules, I think, though I don't remember getting past the first few seasons. I do recall thinking Xena and Gabrielle were a cute couple.
Tristen probably would get along well with Robin-- he'd probably find him fascinating. 8D
And rude and sarcastic doesn't bother Tristen at all! He's sort of used to it, actually, considering some of the people he knows.

Thank you so much! There are definitely some names there I'm not familiar with-- I'll check them out this afternoon, hopefully!
