Hi all!

Well some of you (sometimes more people than I think) know Karn in game, and it seems even more of your characters have heard something about the crazy sailor/wooer of the lads.

But how many of you know about me, Dan? The player behind Karn, Elzhabehl and lately, Feana.

Well as I said, I'm Dan. Daniel Adam Kent to give my full title. I'm a student studying Psychology at the University of Gloucestershire in the UK. Currently I live between Cheltenham, Gloucester and Birmingham.

I travel a lot, usually between family and my boyfriend, Luke, when I'm not working on a research project/essay/or just playing on Layonara.

My main aim with my characters is usually to give a bit of colour, sometimes difference to what I see played. I try to veer away from stereotypes, but sometimes they are just to fun not to play up to!

My Characters

Karn - Well Karn is the idiotic/crazy/never down (at least not publicly) side of me. Ever the showman, just like I can be at times, he probably best represents me in RL though in a far more caracitured way, with everything magnified ten fold. Getting to play out a male-male romance here is something I have enjoyed tremendously, and has given no end of rp opportunities and I think added a little something not previously in Layonara. I originally planned him around a sailor type, Jack Sparrow-esque, lad who enjoyed a good time and the company of handsome lads, and I was also heavily influenced by the adventurous Zidane of FF9, though with less of an eye for the ladies and more for the gents! (Yes I do love Final Fantasy too! *ducks tomatoes*)

Elzhabhel Tyr'neldth - The eternal grouchy elven wizard. He was created after reading far too much OOTS and my adoration for Vaarsuvius! Though he is somewhat darker than his comical inspiration, favouring the school of necromancy and having lofty delusions/ambitions for power over life and death, mostly to feed his own ego. I enjoy playing an overly intelligent, proud and arrogant character in times when Karn's persistant grin annoys even me.

Deon Darklash - The sultry cleric of Xeen was created in reaction to an apparent lack of male Xeenites, at least among those Xeenites commonly known. I enjoy playing characters which strive to be, dare I say it, UNIQUE!
Having played Deon comparitavely little I have found his ways and suggestions to be disconcerting to most other characters, and as such Deon is a challenge. Then again he is never the type to have many friends in any case, so perhaps his mysterious, unnerving, yet intoxicating personality will keep only the most ardent of admirers from coming close enough to understand him. In fact I'm not so sure theres much to understand, other than his unusual obsession with pain.

Feana Pantherguard - My latest addition and therefore perhaps my judgement is clouded. Only time will tell whether she stays the course. She came about due to my love of druids and wemics, though the ECL always scared me away from the latter. Deciding to enjoy all the RP rather than consider her levels I jumped in and made her. She has really suprised me, and the amount of fun I have as her. The raw-ness of a primitive character gives a much stronger basis for her druidic path, something I had struggled to create with my previous druids. Her overall goodly attitude and friendly nature help her to get by in a land where she does not speak the native tongue, at least well. Feana also represents my own faith and beliefs somewhat. I would consider myself to be a spiritual person and her deep conection with nature is one I enjoy playing out.

Aside from that, theres not much more to say. I have varied music tastes, everything from Madonna to Marilyn Manson and a lot more between. Oh I'm 19, going on 35 sometimes. And when I grow up *Grins* I want to be a counciler/proffesional talker!

I will put a picture up as soon as I find one I dont look awful or very posed on!

LynnJuniper:
Cute! A Karn! Hah =P

Interia_Discordius:
Tee hee, your boyfriend is lucky ;)

Glad to see a little behind the character, though! You're a GREAT person to roleplay with. You really do put color behind the usual, and hey, there are stereotypical people.

Good luck with the counselor path! Heh, perhaps I'll be running to you someday with my own odd little issues. Never know. It's a small world, after all.
