Nickname(what you would like to be called): You can call me Josephine or Jo. Whichever you prefer!
Favorite era of history: I love pretty much anything ancient, but Mesopatamia and Egypt are my favorites. If I have to pick a specific time, I'd say the Golden Age of Piracy (Late 1600s to early 1700s). The Victorian Era is great too. Ultimatly, I love to study many different eras. It all just depends on my mood.
Favorite Historical Figure: King Tutankhamen is at the top of the list. When I was really little, I had a book about when his tomb was found by Howard Carter and it fascinated me. That was my first real interest in History. I also have a lot of pirates that I like: Sir Francis Drake, Anne Bonny, Henry Morgan, Blackbeard... 3nodding
Ideal RP character: Ooh, I don't know. Probably a Caribbean Pirate of some sort. I can probably adapt to any role play.
Favorite color: Red, Black, Green, and Blue.
Favorite food: Any kind of bread.
Favorite book: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Twilight. I also really like manga.
Favorite movie: Pirates of the Caribbean, The Terminator, and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

A Little About Me
Nickname(what you would like to be called): Radio
Favorite era of history: Soviet History and The Cold War ;D
Favorite Historical Figure: Charles Darwin. Some people have told me he shouldn't count as a historical figure, but he completely shocked a Western world that accepted the Bible's explanation of the origins of man. I think he pretty much set the ball rolling on what has been a continued secularization of the world. Pretty drastic change in thought patterns, I think it's as much a part of history as it is of science. Meh. XD If he doesn't count, then Karl Marx. I love me some communism.
Ideal RP character: Any sort of revolutionary soldier or a civilian in the midst of a revolution. Or civilians doing what they can to avoid detection and persecution for illegal activities under an oppressive Iron Curtain. Or a soldier in a battle, since it seems like most of the people in this guild prefer Middle Age or ancient history. x3
Favorite color: Orange surprised
Favorite food: Buffalo chicken XD
Favorite book: Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman (GO READ IT!)
Favorite movie: 28 Days Later. XD Any good zombie movie. o.o;

Hey, hey~ cool
I am the one and only EtsukoNino but you can call me Etsuko, Etsu, Nino, EN, or Eskimo.
My favorite era in history...? As lame as it sounds, I'm actually very fond of US History in general. I am sick and tired of learning about the Declaration of Independence though. If you wanna keep me interested, let's talk wars and disaster, reguardless when and where.
I do not have a favorite historical figure, though I am fond of that man on the hundred...
My ideal role play character is someone different <3 My normal role playing characters are emotional and spiteful.
Despite the color of the fonts, my favorite color is orange! Why? The way I see it, no one really likes or cares for the orange crayon. But when you open the box there's this beautiful point that looks at you like >D.
I can get fat and die happy eating korean food and ice cream. I really, really hate sodas and candy.
My favorite book is my Snapple Book of Real Facts.
Classic Disney! movies never get old! A Bridge Too Far and Band of Brothers was great too <3
My US History teacher this year is a lewzur.
I am a GEMiiNii and a ram.
I'm a frickin` band geek-- I even wear that dorky marching band uniform. Laugh and I'll shove my flute down your throat.

Nickname: Mightyenapup or MP is fine. ^_^
Favorite era of history: Ancient Egypt. Though, apparently I have a mutual attraction to the 17 and 1800s, as several of my dreams seem to take place then...

Ideal RP character: ME! >D
Favorite color: Blood red.
Favorite food: Mashed potatoes. <3

Nickname(what you would like to be called): Doctor Orc, or Dr. Orc, or just Orc (DOrc is funny, but it gets old really fast)
Favorite era of history: Every era has a special feel to it. A “je ne saie qui” that makes it special. But medieval times were interesting, all over the world, but to be really specific, I would go with The Great Age of Discovery.
Favorite Historical Figure: This is a bit unfair, to place a lot of people of different walks of life in a single bag and then choose one. Viriato is a great one. But to choose one, a complete man, I would have to go with either Fernão Mendes Pinto or Infante Dom Henrique.
Ideal RP character: normally a tank. Someone take speaks his mind, gets into a lot of trouble but’s whiling and able to pay the price.
Favorite color: Blue!
Favorite food: I created my favorite dishes by taking ideas from other dishes. There’s a dish I make with by stir frying spaghetti in olive oil with some vegetables (mainly mushrooms, pimentos, onion, garlic and some chili peppers) tomato sauce and some sliced chorizo. Or to be fancy, some thinly sliced pork fillet stir fried in olive oil with Timorence sauce, adding in the end some champignon and cream; accompanied with French fries.
Favorite book: “The Count of Monte Cristo”, “Les Miserable” and a lot of reference books on history and history of religions. I also love Myths, legends and folktales.
Favorite movie: Rocky Balboa, Ben Hur

Salutations!
Nickname: Soleil or Eternity, either works.
Favorite era of history: The Victorian Era probably, but pretty much I just love the history of Europe. It's so fascinating. I tend to be more interested in specific events in History, though, as opposed to eras.
Favorite Historical Figure: You've got to be kidding, I can't choose.
Ideal RP character: Some sort of mage or witch. I'm into the magic thing.
Favorite color: Green
Favorite food: Umm... Would you laugh if I said tofu?
Favorite book: Currently... Good Omens. Excellent book. ^_^
Favorite movie: I don't know... I don't want movies much. Surf's Up probably, because it's the one I've seen most recently.

Nickname: Qwen
Favorite eras of history: There are a whole bunch...pre-history, Egyptian, Greek/Roman, Middle Ages, Crusades, Renaissance, Napoleonic Wars, American 1920s Prohibition, WWII, Cold War, etc.
Favorite Historical Figure: If you thought the eras list was bad you don't want to see this one.
Ideal RP character: An adventurous female that manages to avoid the rules of decorum and can preferably handle herself in a fight.
Favorite color: Jewel tones, cool colours, silver and black.
Favorite food: Chinese and sushi
Favorite book: Mostly myths and dystopian novels...history-wise Temeraire (historical fantasy I know but still somewhat history) and Earth's Children. There are tons more but that list would be even worse than the eras and figures ones; I read too much. (Also a nod to Eternity on her book choice, it's hilarious.)
Favorite movie: V for Vendetta, Stargate, Lord of the Rings...suffice to say a whole bunch
