+1 Boomerang

[theideaguy]

So after a lot of nudging and coaxing, I am finally joining a second game. And after even more nudging and coaxing, I am joining this one.

Hello, everybody! I am bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and excited to be here with my first character. I'm TML (short for The Missing Link), and I am excited to be here during what I hear are incredibly crazy circumstances. As a very short bio, I've been living in the Pacific Northwest for the last several years, have been RPing for quite a while (though took a break from it for a few years), and I make video games for a living. I'm a big fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Legend of Zelda, and the Tales of series. You can find me over at themissinglink if you care to give me an add.

I am bringing to you all Sokka, a wise-cracking, pun-loving, and boomerang-throwing warrior who's got a penchant for science, technology, sarcasm, and meat. He's coming to the game from smack dab in the thick of the Blimp Battle from the last episode, right where he falls and hurts his leg.

I am looking forward to getting CR with all y'all. Meet you game-side!

Sokka is my most favorite character from Avatar! And the Tales series are the best. So excited to have you join us.

[theideaguy]

Sokka is pretty great /bias I've fallen in love with him so much more since playing him. I forgot how much of him is in me!

Thanks for the welcome! :)

Also, you make video games for a living? I've always wanted to do that...well, I want to write the characters and stories for video games anyway.

[theideaguy]

Yes! I've been doing that for the last... eight years now. I'm more on the engineering end of things, but it's the job I've wanted to do since I was nine. Because I loved playing video games and thought making them was going to be just that: playing video games all day long.

[redlightgreenlight]

Still cool though.

My friend, Makari, plays Raine Sage from Tales of Symphonia here. It was the first video game we played together, so we both love the Tales Series.

So, Microsoft or Nintendo?

[theideaguy]

Ah yes. I've actually RPed with her once! Symphonia is by far my favorite. It hooked me just the same!

I was a lover of Nintendo growing up, but my first video game gig was actually with Sony. So now I'm pretty much squarely split between the Nintendo and Sony camps. I'm currently working at Bungie, but unfortunately I'm going to be moving in the near future, so the end of that era is fast approaching.

The magic words have been said, I'm paying attention.

/stare

I feel like I should know you, actually, but your handle isn't quite ringing a bell. But if you're a PNW person with a fondness for Tales, we should definitely already have met.

That aside, welcome aboard, we're breaking almost everything.

[theideaguy]

Oh blah, I misread everything. XD Good job, self.

I read "there" and not "here," thinking that I was talking about a different game. X) Well this is slightly embarrassing now!

At any rate, I certainly am looking forward to meeting you both here and OOCly. And yes, I've heard I'm walking into a beautiful mess. I wouldn't have it any other way!

[akito]

I've seen you around on Tori's plurks! /chinhands

[redlightgreenlight]

If you want an idea of how much of a mess, read this.

And for some context, read this too

And it is about to get worse for everyone, or so I hear.

[theideaguy]

Man, I just got here and I have reading homework? ;D

I've been peering into a handful of threads from the rest of the Avatar cast, but I've been trying not to delve too deeply until I actually joined the game. Now... well... bring on all the terrible?

[theideaguy]

Yes, I've been doing lots of sneaky stalking as I've been prepping to join the game. >:)

[redlightgreenlight]

Hahaha, yes.

To be honest, that first thread is one I am super proud of so I am just sharing it with *anyone* who will listen.

This is a belated Hi, but I felt compelled to say HI! Just the same.

So HI!

[theideaguy]

HI!
