Well, with the recent string of actions we (the staff) have had to take, I thought it might be a good idea for you guys to get to know us.
I'm going to start off and the rest of the team will follow.
My name's Rob. I'm going to be 25 in August. I'm half-Irish, part German, part Italian, part Native American. My favorite colors are Purple and Gray. I have a half-wolf, quarter-rott quarter-black lab dog named Tubby. I refer to him affectionately as Fathead.
I live in a small town in Illinois no one's ever heard of. I like to cook, play games of all types and watch movies. I'm a total L5R and Star Wars geek. I've been cruising the internet since I was 12 years old. That's right, I've spent the better part of my life on the web.
I'm the kind of guy that will go out of his way to help. Many of the clans have already seen this as I've taken the time to create different things for some of them. If you need anything, anything at all, come find me and I'll do my best to help you.
I play my clan, but I am not my clan. I don't need to be a rude stubborn grumpy man (like Setsuro definitely can be) and I'm happy to help everyone out of character. That goes for pretty much everyone.
Well, I hope you've gained a bit of information about who and what I am. I'm sort of an open book, so if you have any questions, feel free to hit me up in PMs.

Edited to more accurately reflect my life presently:
Hello all,
I'm Jason, I'm a musician and an actor finishing up school so I can begin teaching at the high school level. I start student teaching next semester.
I live in the ever busy town of Newport News, Virginia, just a stone's throw away from where the first successful English colony was founded, Jamestown.
As a fun fact, I was born in the same town in Illinois that Rob went to for high school. Though I was only there for a few weeks (military dad).
Several of my close friends play l5r and starwars rpgs together, including EE.
uh... I'm 24. I have a Cat named Pandora (she loves boxes).
My favorite video game is Mass Effect, and my favorite movie is Star Wars (all of it!)

I'm Tom. I'm a huge gamer, have been since I was but a wee child. As some of you know, I'm working on a law degree, and its crazy hard (thats why I'm usually very slow to post). However that being said I'm usually trolling the forums at all hours of the day, and I'm the one most likely responsible for promptly placing you into your clans. My gaming hobbies include playing L5R table top and CCG (Feel free to chat with me about it, I'm trying to prepare for a Kotei appearance and I've been out of the game for years). I've also played enough Star Wars RPG games to make even George Lucas tell me to back off. I also enjoy a solid game of Battlestar: Galactica and Firefly (As well as the shows ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) ). I love L5R and been a die hard Lion since Diamond edition, however I'm open to all the clans and I think the best part about this game is seeing everyone's different take on their characters, from Fallen Motos to Honorable Kitsuki Investigators. I'm also trying to use my position as Lion Champion to bring our clan out from behind its usual sterotype, but we'll see if I'm successful. Beyond that, feel free to hit me up with some PMs or such if you need anything, I'm usually around and I love getting PMs ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) .

OH Hi!
I'm the new Spider Clan Mod. My name is Chad, I have been an l5r player of some shape or form since way back in Shadowlands. I'm an avid gamer, web designer, graphic designer, and what not.
I am a musician at heart (I have played bass guitar for 22 years), and I have been known to play MMO's from time to time.
If you want to know what to call me on the boards because my character name is rather lengthy, please feel free to call me Shoju. I have been Shoju in some way shape or form on forums since way back with the original Lion Clan site that you could trade cards on.... (jeez I can't remember the name of that place).

So it seems it's my turn now. My name is Karolina. I live in Poland - in a city that is famous thanks to all our univerisities and huge number of students, Lublin. Thanks to all those people, we have many gamers. As for now I play L5R every week (can even tell that it's from 5pm to 1-2am ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) ). Also, I am a die hard fan of CyberPunk, Neuroshima (polish RPG, something between MadMax and Fallout), WarHammer (yay for Dragon Slayer female-dwarf!), and some of WoD games like: Werewolf: Apocalypse (Black Fury), Vampire: Redemption. And a few more that I've played in those um... 14 years. Not a big fan of MMO games, BUT there is one I play for almost 5 years now, which is Puzzle Pirates ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) I love logical games and puzzles, so I love YPP. My little pirate is a mean but cute monster... wait, it's not my pirate's introduction... Anyway, in RL I am happily divorced, been married for 3 years - I'll tell you one thing. WoW can be a pain in the back and no one can convince me to play it. Ever. As for now in a hmm... let's call it an open relationship with a dork H^H^H^H^ a graphic designer (and I have a present for you, but I need to talk to Jay first). I am working as a financal adviser but next month I should also start a new job, which a manager of a book store with lots of RP games (which is YAY!). Study at Polish-Japanese Institute of Information Technology, my major is Japanese Culture. Before that: Polish Open University, administration: Information Systems in Bussiness (or something like that) and University of Marie Cure-Sklodowska, Faculty of Humanities: Cultural Studies. Now when I look at it... it seems I like to study But back to topic. I play L5R for uhhh... 7-8 years? Something like that. With some big break where my team just moved to different places... But now found a new team and enjoy it as before. No pets - at least at my house after my cat, Miku, died about a month ago. But I do have a dog, another cat and a bunny at my parents house (all are mine, but just don't want to give them to me... I think they would be bored without something to take care of when their kids moved out ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) ). Not gona tell you how old I am - because it's not nice to ask a woman about her age... but I am a bit older than Rob and Senshi (Tomatsu and Shoju didn't mention their age!). Ok, I think that's all... most of

And that is as close as I will get to spilling it. Though, I have to say when i bought a pack of smokes the other day, I got carded. I wanted to jump across the counter and kiss the woman. I haven't been carded in a very long time.

Shoju - I am all the time, and I am between you and the rest. In the middle... *yawns* And I don't want to kiss them. I want to smack them, because the same lady is asking me everytime I buy cigs... she already knows how old I am... Like anything would change in one night. (o.O)

It happens so infrequently for me, that when it happens, it is very flattering.

Whee. (That's a commen phrase from me, not my character) My name is James, currently 28 and residing in the capitol of PA). I've been a gamer in one shape or another since I was ten, starting with D+D. (Before advanced became a thing) I have played in many different tt's, and did Vampire larping for a 7 years, to which I state Malkavians rule, especially when your Prince! Around 8 years ago I became an avid board gamer, with my collection still growing at 300+, and is my main gaming form by no stretch of the imagination. L5R became my favorite tt since the first book hit the stands. A close friend has run a game since then which still has some original characters running around. So I've spent half my life playing a scorpion. And our timeline is just now celebrating the first year of toturi the 1st. I desire to be more active in the rp threads, but having been elected Worshipful Master of my masonic lodge eats up even more time then I had imagined, and definately hating the banquet season! ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Although after this month ends it should be a little easier to throw myself into some scenes.

Hello all,
I'm Michael, I am currently attending college to get a degree in accounting. I am a huge Nerd and Gamer. Looks like I am am the young one here at only 23.
I have played in many different table top games from Star Wars to D&D to Warhammer 40K (both model's and role playing). I am starting to get into the card game as well as L5R role playing games.
I plan to be much more active in more RP threads and even plan to run some of my own in the future.
