Well, I guess I'll start.
My name is Temra and I am a 17 year old girl from Australia. I love to sing, act, read, write, draw, watch anime, play video games and many other things. Hmmm, what else? I love all things that are fantasy like magic, elves, that kind of thing [Which would explain why I love fantasy RPs ^^']
I became interested in role playing about 2 years ago and have been role playing ever since. Over the two years, I have found that I love all genres, but my absolute fave is Modern/Fantasy. Uh, what else? I am still not that great nad need a lot of improving and that is why I started this guild. I also started it because I wanted to know who the literate RPers where because I was sick and tired of seeing people that did not know how to RP. ^^'
Anyway... that is about it... I think... ^^'

I'm Thyis, although you can call me Worm if it so pleases you. I’ve also gone by Zombie-Man, Slinky and whatever else my crack-pot friends choose for me. Anyhow, here’s a bit about me. I’m a cook at a restaurant, and I’m aspiring to become a professional chief. I also play the electric guitar and am an avid lover of Jazz, Blues and Classic Rock. I also play Bass for a rock band. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Jefferson Airplane, CCR, Twisted Sister, Jimi Hendrix, Meat Loaf and Black Sabbath are just a few of the awesome bands I love (yes, I’m a child of the 80’s). I’m an artist and a writer, I write up short stories for people as well as comic scripts. I'm Ukrainian but speak English, German, some French and Japanese and a variation of groans and grunts every hungry, bitchy young adult is fluent in. I’ve been roleplaying for a long time, but not jut on the computer. I took up D&D with a sibling and now I play it with a friend of mine. We, however, have twisted the game totally, making it grotesquely comical and drugged up-twisted at the same time. I own my own a fantasy-medieval genre roleplay site called Galhia, and I also roleplay via IM’s and email. I love the unique styles of roleplay as well as making up my own worlds and genres. Hell, Post Apocalyptic, Asylum and so on. And that’s about all for me, send me a PM if you’re bored or what to start up a roleplay, since I’m always willing to talk when I’m not juggling work, art, studies and music (which, if you couldn’t tell, is my life).

My name is Karle, but you guys can just call me Haru as everybody eventually does. I'm a Japanese citizen, though I live in the states and attend college here in NY. A few things off the bat; no I will not tutor you in japanese, I struggle enough with learning english as it is and tutoring over the internet is a pain in the a** and No, I will not translate your manga/doujinshi because I'm a college student and only have so much time. That's what tokyopop and viz is for XP Okay, that's all cleared up.
I'm 18, goin' on 19 soon XD and I'm a painting major (Sophomore! Go Me!). I love abstract/expressive art and ultra realistic art (two ends of the spectrum... geh, I'm like that...). Edvard Munch and MC Escher are my favourite artists.
I love manga and anime, particularly Ghibli movies and the Nausicaa manga. I also like FAKE (Sanami Matoh ownz me to death... her art is so unique and awesome), Excel Saga (Puppy!!!!!! FOOOOOOD!!!), Puppet Master Sakon (am I the only human being on this planet who knows what this is...?) and Trigun (Again, unique and interesting manga art style).
As for RP, I'll do anything where there's a unique twist to the character and a bit of fantasy involved. I'll play my own original characters, or in Karle's case, original characters Ai and I collaborate on, or anime characters (providing they're interesting enough to play; e.g. Sakon and his split personality disorder which makes him talk through his puppet Ukon XD and wander around Japan solving creepy murder mysteries).
Anyway, I've been rping for a while in various chat rooms. Used to have a sakon SN on yahoo, but I forgot the password sweatdrop . Anyway, I joined this forum in hopes of being a better RPer and better at english since this language is SO DAMN CONFUSING ALL THE TIME. HOW CAN YOU PEOPLE HAVE SO MANY TENSES eek biggrin AND NOT FALL OVER AND DIE? Okay, gotta finish some reports on digital artists for my Electronics Media and Culture class XP Peace out

Hey all, the name's Thorny (I have this obsession for thorns!) and I turned 18 this Feb. I live in Malaysia (ever heard of that?) and am doing my A-Levels.
What do I like? Well, definitely RPing, preferably fantasy, though several modern ones are pretty interesting. I used to RP on Yahell Chat, though I switched to Gaia since the room lists over there have frozen. So how long have I been RPing...I guess you could say 5 years plus.
Another obsession of mine are Knights! Est Sularus Oth Mithas. My honour is my life; to me, honour is everything.
Anyway, it's great that we finally have a lil haven for literate RPers, coz if I get another single sentence reply to my several para post, I'm gonna just die on the spot.
Oh, due to time constraints (stupid A-lvls!), I won't be on everyday, maybe twice or three times a week, so if you are interested in a PM RP, I'd be glad to join in!
Ciao.

Waves her hand to all the people in this spectacular Guild. " Hey everybody! Well, I guess I should start on with my profile too, right? Well, here it goes!"
My name is Silent_Crying_Eyes, but I prefer to be called Silent. Yes, I do get enough jokes over it. sweatdrop But they're cute none the less. biggrin I'm from the great city, Chicago! I love Frank Sinatra, Slipknot, Andrea Bocelli, Geoff Smith, Usher, Trapt, Linkin Park, Faith Hill, etc... Can you tell that I'm very eccentric? heart I love ALL music. I don't discriminate, if I like it, then I do, If I don't, I don't. I'm brutally honest like that. biggrin
I'm a Senior in high school right now. I'm on top of the food chain! But as soon as college comes around, I'll be at the bottom. sweatdrop Ah, the irony. I love to write stories, specifically fanfiction, poetry, draw, read, and trying to become a better writer. I'm not there yet, but I'm hoping to be. I love to hang out with friends, go to mixers, clubs, parties, etc. I'm a wild girl and damn proud of it, but I'm a nerd inside. biggrin
I've been RP'ing for about 2 to 3 years. I started in neopets with my animals and then a good friend of mine suggested I come here. And I haven't been off since. biggrin I know, I have no life. Don't need to shove it in. I RP in just about anything. I'm an all around kind of girl. Figuratively not literally. biggrin But I usually RP in Vampire, Demon, Fantasy genres. I love being evil! twisted But I'm a good girl once you get to know me. I'm extremely playful and don't like to be in one place too long, so you'll see me lurking around 2 to 3 stories.
Well, I guess that's all. What do you want, a biography? Quit prodding me, you stalker. If you want to get to know me more, PM me or send me an email, then we'll see how it goes. biggrin

Hello my name is Samantha but I go by Sam. If anyone calls me Sammy they will be strung up by their toes and eaten by domo's ( domokun ). A lot of the time I can be very indecisive so I also go by Indy or Indecisive. By my friends I am called freak, nerd, and geek among many other things. Usually they are said with love and affection though I get the occasional evil comments.
I am a canadian highschooler. I love my math and science classes. My favourite bands are Pink Floyd, The Doors, Led Zeppelin and almost any other rock bands from the 60's/70's era. I have been RPing for...ok I have no idea how long for but it has been a while ok. I started on neopets like silent but then a friend on LJ was talking about gaia and I was like 'must. see. gaia." so here I am.
I love to write little stories and I have a wild imagination. My friends and I have strange conversations. No matter what we talk of though you can always expect it to be confusing. Even when we talk of the most basic things we add twisted angles to it.
I have been dancing since I was 4 years old. I am currently in tap and ballet competition. I also teach a begginer ballet and a begginer jazz class.
Yeh I will edit this if I think of anything more you need to know. But that was me in a nutshell. Like thumballina, who sleeps in a nut shell. That is like my favourite fairytale ever!! Ciao now!!

Whee!! Intros! I'm not going to put my legal name here, not because I don't trust you guys but because anyone I don't know could wander in here. So here we go!
EDIT: Karle, it takes most of us around 12 to 16 years to get the tenses right! You think it's bad trying to learn English, think on how hard it is to learn Japanese! Just the writing alone makes me want to curl up and cry!
I am Vivi, a nickname I got about a year ago when my Juniors refused to call me by my regular nickname. They wanted to call me by my legal name which I hate. We decided on a comprimise that they could call me anything but said legal name and they picked Vivi. I'm not entirely sure why they wanted to call me after the FF character but, *shrugs* it stuck.
I've been rping for about six or seven years. I've done chat style, tabletop, LARP (Live action role play), and forum style. Gaia's really been the only forum roleplay that hasn't died within the month though. >> I've also created a bunch of roleplays, both online and off. My favorite though is freestyle or anything goes. It's great to have a character and then tweak it as you go along to fit the everchanging world. Continuing on in roleplays, I'm Fort Weyrwoman in our Pern rp guild, and the creater of a rp required pet called Paracelsi (Flatsale going on!!). I think that covers most of my rp stuff.
I'm an 18 year old freshman/sophmore in college. I say that because I had nearly 30 hours college credit coming in. I also lived in the dorms for two years before college. Ah...Thats my glorious achievment. I attended an academically advanced high school for my junior and senior years. It's a school designed for academically gifted juniors and seniors with a strong interest in the maths and sciences. Getting accepted there was probably the best thing that ever happened to me! heart I love that place! heart Anyway, students live at the school for their last two years in highschool. Another reason I'm not really a freshman.
And back to the present day, I'm currently an Undecided major. I'm taking all the core classes that I didn't get credit for in highschool. And um.....I guess that's it. For now anyway!

Hey all! I have several names on the internet, Yilanti on Gaia of course. I'm also known as DragonMage, Nia Jin, SoS and more. My normal names make people say: What? And make me repeat myself again. xp I'm a student in high school and am wishing to get out of there. sweatdrop I support homosexuality and enjoy making new friends.
I am definitly an abnormal person, and in a certain way proud of it. I hate things that the ordinary person loves. And vice versa. For example, I hate elves, demons, butterflies... And I love spiders, dwarves (many a friend of mine know this xd ), the colour green... And once something I like becomes popular, I start hating it. A good example is the serie Charmed. I used to watch it. Nowadays lots of my friends talk about it. I stopped watching it before that happened. Spiders and Dwarves are sort of my obsessions. I have loads of them. Some are stronger than others, some of them I don't even realize I have them.
I love role-playing, though it has been dissaproved by others. I'm not sure when I started, but it's been quite a few years. My first RPs was on a friends message board about Harry Potter. Before that, I had been writing some stories, which improved my spelling and such. And since then I've hated it when people had terrible postings. Missing punctuations or capital letters, wrong spelling/grammar and no effort to edit that... Eek. But I'm no literary snob. So now and then I forget everything I learned and roleplay something really silly.
I now run a Harry Potter message board, but that doesn't mean I just post there (and on Gaia). I often search the internet for message boards that I have the time (and practice) to join for. There was once a brilliant RP that forced me to write more than 3 paragraphs (that was excellent training) but I couldn't keep up with the time you had to spend there and the huge amount of people there. Sad really. When it comes to RPing, I hate stereotypes. I am determined to break stereotypes. I will not be a beautiful dark elf with a sad and dark past, trying to get her revenge. Usually I'm a Dwarf, happy with who I am and willing to make a fool out of myself if it makes people laugh.
I just like to make people laugh. I don't see why people have to walk around being depressed and all. It doesn't make sense. But that's just me. And I'm weird. But that's in a good sense, mind you. wink

Holy hell, Karle, you're still learning English? I wouldn't a guessed from what I've seen you RP. O_o;;;
ANYWAY... on to my profile thingie.
My first name is Kris. The last syllable is none of your business. wink I'm 16 years old and I live in Canada.
It's cold.
Yes, that cold. xd
Anyway, I'm into music in general (I play the piano, violin, flute, drumkit, trombone and vibes), but I like jazz in particular--anything from Dizzy Gillespe to the Susie Arioli band.
I'm not so much into anime as most other people on this site, but I do have a Japanese friend who goes back home yearly and brings me back a little something. Usually I have to get her to translate, since I'm not exactly fluent in Japanese.
Speaking of fluid transitions between subjects, I am fluent in French.
Re: RPing, I began about a year ago. Maybe. My first site was on AvidGamers.com, and is actually the same place where I went from one-liners to being accepted for a 'sadistcally advanced' RP.
I like fantasy genres, be they modern, future, past, scifi, whatever. If it couldn't happen in real life, I'll prolly RP it.
Anyway, it's nice to meet you all.

Hi all! I'm Rose Morningstar, but known all over the internet as Dragon Girl and DG as well. My real name is Jill, but you're free to call me whatver you want.
I've been roleplaying for the past 3 years or so. I started out at a small Digimon rpg, then discovered the wonders of forums. ^^ Since then I've been part of a large FF based rpg that has been going on for the past year and a half. Rose Morningstar was my original character for it, so the name has just stuck since then for alot of my characters. Sadly though, the various forums it has been on have died, and at the moment, it is homeless once more. I have also had some experiance however at LARP, table top games, and AIM based rpgs.
I'm a very obsessive person. I love to read, write, play video games, and just hang out. I also love anime and manga (faves include Digimon, DNAngel, xxxHolic, Tsubasa, CCS, Rurouni Kenshin, and Inuyasha). You will often find me playing some game on my PS2, usually a Final Fantasy. (Fave games are FFIX, Xenosaga, and the Spyro series.)
Eh, can't think of anything else to say. So hi!

Hi there! My name is Yo_Landa or Yolanda if that's easier to write. I've been role playing for over a year now, but apparently, that's rather short compared to some of the veterans here. However, I have been told that I'm a good writer. I'm not sure if they're just saying something nice, but I guess it's a good sign anyways!
I started role playing at Midnight Enchantment, but M.E. closed. It was my all time favorite RP forum to date. There were so many members and it was always active. After that, I moved on to some different Genre's such as Moonlit Glade (Medieval Fantasy) Ioberra (Futuristic) Ithuron (Modern/Fantasy) and I met a bunch of people to write with which was great. Then, my friend told me about Gaia...and here I am!
My real name is Yolanda and Yolanda is also the name of several of my characters. However, they never seem to be the same. My first character was a pink haired elf named (*gasp*) Yolanda. Then, I somehow came up with a half Demon named Demona who was also half elf and completely torn between her two sides. I can still remember my first storyline...my writing was not so great back then and I got in trouble for shot-calling whee . Still, I perservered and went with several other characters. I played a guy once. His name was Anthony and he was twins with Aurora. Twins that had Telepathy, Psycic and Telekenetic powers...it was strange. I also had a Vampiress called Mistress and yes, she was a good character. Not exactly cliche.
Now, onto my personal life. Well, I'm in High School and I enjoy drawing. A lot. Yesterday for Art Class, I drew 25 hands. Yes people, I drew my hand in 25 different poses. My hand hurts... I also play the piano. Currently, I am in Grade 9 Royal Conservatory and I have been playing for 5 years now. I get told that that's really fast, but I love Piano (although I get lazy with practicing now and then). My favorite composers are Beethoven, Mozart and Lizt. My most hated composers are Mendellson (I so spelled that wrong) and Chopin. I like drawing Anime and Manga, but I'm also into realism.
I'm Chinese from the Capital. I came to Canada when I was really young, so I speak perfect english. I can also speak Chinese, but my vocab sucks. Ugh, I have a phone call, so I'm gonna stop typing. If you want to know more about me, just send me a PM.
Bye!

Hmm... I'll plead the 5th on my real name, but you can call me Nikiana or Reign (my RP character). I'm a 18 yr old college student in the same situation as Vivi-chan. We graduated from the same high school, so I won't bore you with the details again. We now attend the same college, live in the same dorm, and love to bug one another... ^.^
Hmm... Let's see... I started RPing a looooooong time ago, not even sure when. My first RPs were wolf, then I moved on to several different book RPs. I now mostly do Pern RPs, but am usually open to do all kinds, as long as the people are literate and explain the situation well enough for someone with half a brain to understand it...
I have a ton of RP characters, but the one you guys will most likely only see is Reign, my fave. Not my first, but definately my fav... she is usually adapted to whatever RP I throw her into, so she isn't always the same... ^.^
I'm American... born here, lived here all my life, will most likely die here as well....
I'm starting to go braindead, so I'll stop now. blaugh
