I finally remembered I have manners!

Hello everyone! *waves* ;D

I already took the liberty of posting a bio, asking others to make a template and a signature and boring the mods with my questions. All without even properly introducing myself. It's a damn shame, I know.

Anyway, here I am, the 15625675th (or something in that vicinity) newbie on the board. My name is Elin, I've been on RPG's for about 4 years and I recently got sucked into The Hunger Games hype thanks to the movie and Jennifer Lawrence's great acting. I recently finished the books as well and though I didn't like the first one much because of Katniss' attitude towards Peeta, she grew on me in 2 and 3.

I love to RP, I love to have action in my plots and I enjoy the sight of my characters falling flat on their faces from time to time. That's my sadistic side I guess. Anyway, that's me, and while I'm at it, I might as well shamelessly introduce my charrie as well. Yes yes, I know there's a separate board for that, but I can't help myself

character
She's Ayla Stern, the gruff, cynical and dry humored district 1 career. Started out as a total failure, pretty much like the kid in gym everyone hates because they have the coordination of a spastic kangaroo. Fast forward 5 years and she still isn't an elite gymnast, so she relies on dirty little tricks to get by.

She can be very insensitive, so she won't win any employee of the month awards. On the other hand she will guard you with her life if she considers you a friend. She's *cough* great in social gatherings, so that's always a fun place to bring her. Anyway, her bio is right here: click[/url]

*commands* Wave hi Ayla.

So yup, that's it! If you guys actually managed to get to this last sentence, I applaud you. People (including myself) tend to have short attention spans haha ;D

[/s] Really glad to have you on board ^^ Sounds like you are going to fit right in with us xD

Did you end up writing to elegant about the templates? She's so good. Her colors are mad love <33

I just stick to basics, especially when it comes to bios... mostly because I find them extremely tedious to write. But I do love my some characters *hoards set*[/size][/ul]

Thanks Kay! You must be damn busy, because I see new bio's pop up every 5 seconds. Is this the busiest the site has ever been? It sure is the busiest RPG I've ever joined up (hurrah for that :-D)

I added a request in this template offer thread. There are so many talented people out here I honestly am not sure if it was Elegant I posted to or not :X. Haha I also have a tendency to create a lot of characters. I plan on sticking to two for the first half year though. Busy on a bio for a guy right now, so you'll probably have more reading to do soon ;-)

Yeah, it's at the district square. There are several people offering their talents :-)

Oh my, 20 characters! How do you manage so many of them? When I have more than five it gets too much, haha.

Yeah that's definitely something that crossed my mind. I see these cool open threads or plot ideas, only to realize my character isn't in that district. I picked 1 for my character because I wanted to create a career character in a rich district. And also because of the big district 1 plot that can get other district charries over there.

I like district 13 because of the whole underground feel. I've been inside a submarine once and when I picture district 13, I picture feeling the way I did in that submarine. It wasn't unpleasant, but there's this confinent going on that's so unlike everything else. Anyway, I'm not too good at describing stuff like that haha.

District 3, with all the military technology and pollution seems interesting as well, but I don't know much about it tbh. District 9 attracts because of the hunting angle, though I suspect that by now every character who applied for that district has been written in such a way that they are among those 'few' allowed into the forests to hunt

Every district has something interesting, but I simply don't know that much about them. I've read the books once (borrowed) and the real reason I got interested was the movie, because of Jennifer Lawrence's more sympathetic portrayal of Katniss. How about you?
