Profiles (Sorta)

[Sheyana]

I was wandering around in my mind...thinking of what it would be like if I actually met you lot and, in my extremely logical thought patterns *cough* came to the conclusion that you would probably mostly be different to how I see you. I, for one, write more than I talk (I can be silent for an entire conversation with more than two participants, but, well, you've seen allllll my posts ).

Anyway, back to the point. I thought it would be interesting if people did a little profile of themselves...in third person. I'm hoping most of you have done character profiles before, but if you haven't, check out some of the ones here (click on the different collegia tabs...)valdemar-heralds.tripod.com. They are for a fantasy RPG...but you get the general idea.

Basically, you write

Name (Can be your pen-name/etc)
Age
Gender
Job/Occupation (Nurse, Student etc)
Physical Appearance
Personality
Brief History (1-2 paragraphs, *optional*)
Goals (where you want to get/ see yourself going)

Be warned - This could take a while!! Do it one time when you can't sleep/are bored ;D

Okies, now that I've posted that epic - here's mine.

Name - Katrina Eastgate (Katy)

Age - 16

Gender - Female

Occupation - Secondary School Student

Physical Appearance - Around 153cm tall, and 60kg, Katy is a pretty normal girl, not thin, and not fat. She has mid-back length straight dark brown hair and never uses a straightener . Her steady, sometimes sad eyes are brown, and often look as if they are in another land. She is a generally normal-looking girl. Not extremely pretty, but not ugly either.

Her knees are scarred from various incidences with gravel and other horrible surfaces. She wears glasses for a slight discrepancy in her long-distance sight, and recently got her ears pierced. Her favourite colours are blue and brown and she is often seen wearing one or both of them. She is not a huge fan of fashion, shorts and baggy T-shirts being her preferred attire of choice.

(Ooops, went a bit long there! I'll have to curtail back for the next one)

Personality - Katy loves to read. She is almost never seen without a book of some sort or other. She is quiet among large groups of people, preferring to soak in all the information. If she feels she knows something the others don't, she will but in...possibly seeming a bit rude. She is an outwardly calm person, exploding rarely, but inside she can get quite angry. While fairly sure of herself, Katy is never really sure what others think of her, making her shy around those she doesn't know.

(I'll leave Brief history out, I've been rabbiting on for too long )

Goals - for immediate goals, Katy would like to get all her books sorted and catalogued. In the long term, she probably wants to work in human resources or as a librarian. But this is very uncertain. The only thing she knows for sure is that she doesn't want to be anything to do with science, medicine, engineering and teaching...

(There you go, a lovely example, if I say so myself. If you can't be bothered to write a whole one, write bits at a time , or just comment on other peoples )

Nice idea! Love it. Here's mine...

Name: Amy Parker

Age: 21

Gender: Female

Job/Occupation: University student (studying Creative Writing), with a part-time job selling shoes to the general populace.

Physical Appearance: Amy is about 5ft 6in, between a UK size 10 and 12, with brown eyes, light brown hair with red highlights, and a nose that's a liiittle bit too large. She wears glasses and a permanently cynical expression.

Personality: Obsessive about stuff she likes, Amy is prone to spending too much money on stuff she doesn't need and then angsting about it later. She is often subject to petulant moods and prefers her own company a lot of the time. She has a few close friends (who she loves to bits and would do anything for) but can hardly be considered a social butterfly. She spends most of her time reading, writing fanfiction and playing computer games.

Brief History: Amy doesn't really talk about her past, but what she will say is this: She was born in the north-east of England, and moved further inland when she was seven. She excelled at school and then took a year out to do office work, which she found insufferably bitchy. She then decided to get a university degree to procrastinate from deciding what to do with the rest of her life.

Goals: Every good character needs a long-distance, probably unachievable goal. Amy's is to become a published author with a rabid fanbase and many people writing awful fanfic based on her characters. In the more immediate future, she wants to get her degree and find a job that's not too boring. Oh, and there's no way she wants to get married or have kids.

Trying to keep my mind occupied from school....Yeah sorry for going.....

Name: Aimee

Age: 16

Gender: female

Job/Occupation: a-level student

Physical Appearance: 5ft 3, and about 8 stone layered and feathered brown hair, lives in boots and jeans. Bluey greeny grayish eyes (depends on the light to what colour they appear), with rather small ears and a regular face.
She is quite slim, and has a rather small build.

Personality: Aimee is mostly calm and relaxed a majority of the time, except for when school gets to her. Although because of her being relaxed can often cause lack of self discipline and no revision or keyboard/flute practice being done. Although she has a very kind heart and is always there to offer a hug and make people smile with her some what dumbness (lets just say the lightbulbs not always on). Aside this there is a darker side to Aimee, but she hides it and if someone gets on the wrong side of her, she will often become angry, and try to attack them if she's pushed to far. She's rarely beaten in an argument.

Brief History: She was raised in Devon, by her parents who have loved and nurtured her. However she doesn't remember much of her child hood over than the fact it was quite a happy one.
When she reached teenage hood however she rebelled a bit and had a gothic period, and she still has gothic elements about her. Nowadays however she's settled down but her moods still dip frequently, although this is usauly countered by her boyfriend helping her alot.

Goals:To pass her A-levels, get rid of the bad things that plague her mind and above all to keep her friends and boyfriend happy. But Aimee is a bit lost on a job to go for.

Lol thought you might click one of these days, hehe sorry I should of said

[phedre]

Name: Phedre (Debbie in real life)
Age: 28 years
Gender: female
Job/Occupation: I work in a bookstore.. ;D

Physical Appearance: European measurements: 1,73 m tall, 56 kilo's (which makes me skinny), brown eyes, brown hair, glasses (very librarian look). Loves purple, so manages to combine purple with all other colours in her outfits. Likes boots, high heels (but not stiletto's), jeans. Dislikes a very girly look (no pink ribbons please). Often seen with a rottweiler at her heels or a husky/shepherd mix..:-)

Personality: Ain't got one.... ;D No, of course I have one. May be not one of the best, but who cares. I can be quite moody, which is a pain in the ass and a joy (can't decide). I'm a bit of a loner, like to be alone a lot, think a lot, just sit around and watch the world go by. I have very high standards what social behaviour is concerned. Environmental responsibility and stuff. I do think it's important to do your share and not be a burden to Mother Earth.

Brief History: I tried university for three years, but nearly died of boredom. So I quit, got a job in a pet shelter, and two different pet shelters after that first one, but that left me emotionally exhausted. So I sell books now for 4 years allready (and buy them too...). Had a very boring childhood, nothing special.

Goals: I would like to own my own bookstore once. I would like to move to Australia (for example) and live on a ranch, with lots of animals and space.

Hi Debbie,

can you post a link to the interview or is it only in print?

[Darkhorse]

be careful how much info you give out. You don't know who is going to read this forum. Unfortunately there are wolves among the sheep. For some of you I can search your other posts and your profile plus hit google and get a pretty good idea where to find you and now I know how to start a conversation and win your confidence because I know what your interests are.

Have fun but think before you type. just a thought.

[Chirugal]

Thanks for the concern, Darkhorse. *hugs*

Some of my info is pretty specific, yeah - but I'm not at uni in the same city I moved to. So I think I'm okay. ^_^

[marianne]

Darkhorse is right.
What do you do DH. You've really got me intrigued.

Chir, I tilted my head to the left and I still don't get it. is it a xo?
duh?
MDP

[Chirugal]

The X is a pair of eyes (yup, I know it's a bit tenuous) and the D is a mouth. It's a kind of substitute for ;D

Most people don't use that one, but I'm on this forum where we use it all the time, so it just kind of keeps coming out in my typing. Sorry if I'm confusing you all!

[Sheyana]

Never actually thought of that Darkhorse! I'll keep it in mind...

Don't worry Chir...once we know what it is (which I already did) it no longer confuses. ;D

[alphie]

Hey guys. I haven't been here for a while but I found my way back.

Name - AlPhie
Age - 20
Gender - Male
Job/Occupation - I'm a gardener
Physical Appearance - Shaved head, blue eyes, average body I guess. I'm not sure how detailed you want me to be so I'll stop there.
Personality - I can't describe my personality. I behave differently with different company. I like to get drunk though. It may sound... shallow, but it keeps me sane.
Brief History - I have several IT qualifications yet I still prefer to do manual work over an office job. I'd rather work hard in the sun than be stuck in an office looking out the window.
Goals - I have no goals. I'm more comfortable this way.

[Chirugal]

Hey, Alphie, you're back! ^_^

Offices politics are the worst in the world, so you're probably wise to stay out of them.
