Most of you know me as either Amireana Mandrine or Elohanna Min A'Litae, although I admit I am working on a third character which will hopefully be a delightful change of pace from the normal characters I tend to play. I am not revealing anything yet.
In realife I am married to Frank, also known to many of you as Lyle Underoot, Melanna, Treana, or most recently the crazier of his characters Emwonk. My name is Nancy and I live in Oklahoma where I work in a call center environment for the banking industry which I have done for over 8 years now.
Frank and I met over the internet in a poetry chat room back in 1998 and hit it off well. We were married in august of the following year in a little park near the beach. Frank is a blessing and we have a beautiful daughter to show for our faith and love for each other.
I enjoy writing as a creative release of pent up emotions. I am for the most part very easy going, although I do get angry occassionally. I like to write poetry, short stories, and role playing.
The first time I seriously got involved in RP was through a game called Freelancer, a few years ago. I still consider myself very much a novice and feel most comfortable sticking to characters that most closely mimic my own personality type.
I am however trying to broaden the scope of RP and possibly in the near future, take on an slightly evil character.
I am 29 years old and love to read books such as TS Eliot, Robert McCammon, who my husband encouraged me to read and I now love to read. Robert Jordan, John Grisham, Dan Brown. There are wide variety of genres in both books and music that I enjoy as well as many different types of movies I like. My favorite Sci Fi series are ST: TNG and Stargate: SG1 and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I have a huge list of movies I enjoy but I will not go into each and everyone of them.
Anyway This is just a small part of the person behind the characters. Feel free to ask any questions anytime. I am usually very approachable.

*pokes Hanna* :) yay

It's great to hear from you, Nancy!
I must agree, find writing the best release, when you can't actually fire off lightning bolts and flames, that is! :D
I myself have been trying out new character styles from my average fare, since I found Layonara. In fact, one of them is almost a complete opposite to who I'm used to personifying - a little bit of challenge and change. : )
I look forward to RPing more with you in the future!
(Though I have to admit - whenever I see your username, I think of Australopithecus anamensis. :P)

We are Borg... State your Designation... Resistance is Futile...
Hi Nancy! *waves* Its always fun RPing with you and Frank, and especially when you are together... It cracks me up sometimes...

Wha?! Who says that?

Australopithecus anamensis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australopithecus_anamensis) For those of us , who didn't know.

I originally created Anamnesis as a character to join the Krath faction of Freeworlds, a Freelancer related game. Its also a game released by microsoft.
The name came about as part of the characters ability to dreamwalk, to help people remember. *smiles* It is amusing to hear idea's though of how you think people came up with their ideas for names though.
It has been such a blast here at Layo, I have barely wanted to go back to Freeworlds for all the time that I truly enjoy here. You all have spoiled me with the talent that runs amuck.
There is not one moment that I can say I have not enjoyed being here and owe to Frank and Rain a lot for being persistent enough to talk me into creating a character.
Thank you Leanthar for all the time and trouble and politics that you put up with to make a truly great world. Also thanks to the developers who have put up with as much and still continue to put up with all of us.
I have met some truly great friends since coming here. Madhatten, CB, Shiff, Miera, Muireann, Ozy, Goldwin. among the many who have been great to RP with.
I have spent countless hours here... and can't say there hasn't been one bad experience. This is definately a nice way to unwind after a stressful day at work.
Cheers to you all!

CB...your weird. O.o :D
Just kidding big guy.
Its great to know the gal behind the scribe! Your great fun too! :D
Go Buffy...lets kick some vampire butt! ;)
And SG-1 is great! Too bad its almost over. :(

Ah yes.. but all great things come to an end... Hopefully there will be more fun series to come out. I hate to admit it but I have actually begun to enjoy watching American Idol even if I only get to see the first half hour only of it.
A drama I have also enjoyed watching as well is House. Terrific Medical drama. Okay yes this means I like ER too and CSI but I don't get to watch them to much due to work and Layo.
I do love it so much here though and love that I have met and continue to meet such terrific friends all the time. I also love that it is a truly wonderful family environment and I don't have to worry about the constant swearing that you will see in some times. It is a big turn off to me.
Anyway I just thought I would update here since I hadn't in such a long time. Thank you all for being so great and being a fun bunch to play with.
I even enjoy that Daralith is making things interesting for my character without even trying. And that Krysthalien has become such a good friend IC and OOC.
Thank you all sooooo much!

Wow! The past year and half has been insane, for those of you who know more, I had recently changed jobs to a wonderful company. This company has been a great learning experience and a chance finally for me to show a company what I am capable of.
The con of it all, is that I have thrown myself into it all and hardly get time to play. You would think that when one project ends and I can get my feet back under me to gain perspective again. I have volunteered for yet another project that will be ongoing for the next year.
So if I am not around as much as everyone would like, I am here in some way in spirit, but I admit its very rare to find a company doing a job you enjoy, and work you can live with yourself doing, and make a positive impression that puts you into a position for advancement in a direction you wish to go.
I will try to be around as much as possible but it will be less than I used to be. Hopefully I will get more personal time though at work to do projects related to this assignment and I will get to play with everyone here more consistently. For those who wish to play with me anyway.
For those of you who I have recently made life difficult for, I do it for your own good :)

Don't stay gone too long. But it's nice to hear you're really enjoying your work.

Well Nancy I have always enjoyed all the time playing with you here and since I finally read you intro I now know that we like almost all the same stuff, from t.v. shows:
buffy (I am currently on season 6 watching the whole series AGAIN)
house (love it)
ST:TNG (never missed an episode)
to authors:
Read most of the earlier works of grisham, mccammon, a few dan brown
We should compare movies books and tv...bet we have alot in common. :)
Always enjoy time spent with you
-
Err I have to ask myself how come I never saw this thread before... poor friend I am *g*
Been a long run you and I and it was always a pleasure. Don't worry, you'll always find someone who wish to play with you in me. :)
-
Poor Nancy... Having a Hell Blazer waiting for her to come back.....
Good luck on your project Nancy! Don't worry about us. We'll be here when you have time to relax and play a game. Just don't forget about us, Hellblazer might start crying. ;)
-
Hehehe I never cry.. almost *holds back a sniff* nop. neeve *cries*
-
Good luck and may you accomplish great things!
Hope to see you every once in a blue moon though.
