I know your names... Options

*^^*
Wow that was awesome. I praise all of your guys's participation. Unlucky for you, I will be adding you to my buddy list. Mwahahahahaha


Seriously though, I didn't really expect this fast of response. You guys kick ass! However, I'm not through with you yet. Now we move to phase #2. Next time you find yourself on AIM (or whatever client you use) and have a bit of free time on your hands, Instant Message someone that you haven't before! Whether it be a fellow FFXIer that you only conversed with vaguely in game, or someone that has been around the forums that you perhaps would like to get to know better. Perhaps we can even get some chatrooms going sometimes. I know Retehi and I will definately be down for that. Gotta spread the love. AT style.

[Dive]

Mute you are a hell of a guy. I just wanted to say that.

I salute you my friend.

Most of you know me already so I won't bore anyone with the details. I like Mute's idea for a chatroom. A lot of chat does go on in the FFXI Linkshell, but having a discussion outside of the game would be a great way to include those who do not play FFXI.

Perhaps a weekly chatroom is in order?

[Retehi]

An AIM chat sounds good, they're rather easy to set up, hell I'm always in em', good fun really.

IRC could be another option. o:

[Mute]

Not a bad idea. We could always just make an AIM room called Apocalypse Tribe (or something like that) and meet there. If my memory serves me correctly, I believe AT has an IRC room. However, I think it would be easier for most peeps if we just did the AIM idea. Buddy chats are super easy and super quick to access. :D

[Merodi]

What the hooey, I guess I'll letcha into the mind of the mithra ^.^

My name is Melody, or Merodi, as those in the AC know me. I used to play PSO back in the DC days. It was the reason I bought my DC (the first system I scrimped, saved, and paid for through my sweat and tears). I was a Phonewurl with my beloved Ravena. I played for many a day, till the BSOD took away my precious heartwand, and eventually, my will to play floated to other endearing games....

and then FFXI came along. Through coaxing on Erdwin's part, and the gift of the game through ShadowBuni, I came to the wonderful lil' fantasy world. And so I spend my time there.

As for the real me, I'm a girl who loves anime and video games. Not so much an obsession, but enough to enjoy what they provide in entertainment and escape from the daily stress and rigors of real life. I enjoy creating things, through all forms of art, but I tend to not give myself much credit for what I do. I love cutesy wutesy, I act cutesy wutes, and frankly, when I'm too short to fit the pre-teen aisle and have to settle on kid's osh kosh b'gosh wear, I should be afforded that darn luxury. But that doesn't mean I'm the pretty in pink type. I'm not fond of barbies and even less fond of pink. I like plushies, but steer clear of the make up aisle unless I'm forced to. Shopping is not my life. I'm weak because I'm small, but if I can open a pickle jar when you can't, I'll try to rub it in for just a little while. My first toy collection was a set of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. If it's morbid, I'm curious. If it's deranged or demented, I wonder. If you've seen Suicide Circle, you'll understand. I love cats and dragons, both of wish I had at this moment.

So anyways, that's a short glimpse of who Merodi is.

[Astrid]

I tend to come off as very obnoxious and sarcastic at times, as well as blunt. Kaz once told me I don't know how to be subtle I don't know if I'd go that far, but it says something.

I'm pretty aggressive, too. I'm hardly cutesy, or giggly or cuddly. As I stated in quite a lot of detail, I despise girls like that because they're just there to fuel male ego, in my opinion. Until I injured my knee this winter, I was a martial arts student, which I plan to return to when I get my surgery. Until then, I plan to take archery up as a past time. I'm not there to make guys feel more masculine, which means that I won't act weak, stupid or overly feminine. In fact, I'm less feminine than most guys. This is something that I take pride in because I'm here to state my own opinions and develop my own mind, rather than attract people.

I'm a philosophy student, in hopes of one day becoming a professor. I like to open people's minds and I love to discuss abstract theories. Talking -- primarily debate -- is my utmost passion.

Some consider me insane, primarily because I've been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder in the past, which means that I tend to anger easily. Sometimes this really affects my mood and I become difficult to deal with. This is not something I'm proud of :/

I'm very opinionated, as you can see :D And, no, I'm not a fucking man-hater. lol. I dislike both sexes equally. In fact, I dislike typical girls more, because of the reflection on me.

I'm absolutely fascinated with dual-weilding, so I plan to learn it as soon as I can

Ever since I was nine years old, I've been obsessed with X-Men comics -- particularly Rogue. The explanation for that, though, is rather long, drawn-out and personal, so I won't be posting it.

I also tend to be somewhat misanthropic, which makes it very weird that Dorian's been around for so long. Hehe. *eyes Dorian* But, he's cool. Maybe it's a sign that he's not one of the bad ones.

I love to write: fiction, specifically, not poetry. Although, the only poets I liked were those involved in the Romantic Movement. I even quoted S.T. Coleridge's "Kubla Khan" in my sig. If you want to read my fiction, just IM me. Dorian and I have an RPG site for X-Men and FFXI at http://www.geneticrevolution-home.com

I think that sums me up pretty well, although, it is very late and I'm falling asleep in the chair. If I find anything significant to add, I will.

EDIT: Forgot something important. I absolutely thrive on nature and all forms of greenery, which is why I plan to move out of the city and live somewhere in the woods, where I'm surrounded by tranquility. I think this explains my fascination with green

[Dorian]

[Dorian]

Oh I see how it is. People are SUPPOSED to tell you about themselvs in this post! Haha

Oh Here goes nofin:

I'm a very laid back guy who follows the motto "If you don't need or what to do something, then don't do it." I'm a pacifist who doesn't in any was judge people before he gets' to know who they truly are. But on the same end I'm agorophobic, lol. I have high hopes for the world and assume that humans are typically vey nice people, boy do I get let down alot, HAHAHAHAHAHA.

As for likes and dislikes. I'm a music geek. I love to read. I'm facinated by animal behavior. I study animals in my spare time. As a matter of fact did you know that every kinda of spider except the Jumping Spider, is practially blind? And the Jumping Spider inherited its name because it "jumps" it's prey from behind? LOL

I'm such a geek

Wow I guess I'm really a dull guy.. Not much to me.. Oh well. At least I'm cooler than this kid ~>>>>>

Oh haha, Astrid just reminded me. I'm also a comper geek. Damn, I'm 3 geeks in one. I feel likea geek now.

EDIT: Oh yea, I also play the Drums, the Guitar, and the Bass, and most recently piano....

Damn I have alot of free time....

[Rogue]

I suck at talking about myself. ;x

The best way to get to know me is... well... just get to know me. lol told ya I suck at talking about myself >.>

AIM: Darksorr0w

You would be very lucky to find me on AIM most of the time though. I log on for a few minutes every night but I usually don't stay on long unless someone sends me a message.

[SaitoH]

I've come full circle. In three years I've gone from annonymous to post whore and back. I'm Filetmignon, and that's all I can be anymore ... errr I guess I'm SaitoH too, since that's my SN here.

>_>

So, In that capacity, I shall continue to make silly/stupid comments online and generally act like an idiot, because that's what Taru characteristic I consider most intrinsic.

I'm saying this because I feel I owe an explanation as to why I haven't been posting as of late. It's not because of my lack of interest in participating in this community, it's just that my participation will be in game only.

Cya online!

^w^/

[Guest_Zio_*]

[psobsesser]

I think we should set a time this weekend to all get on AIM; anytime is good for me. I never sleep on weekends. ^_^

[ArekuReiesu]

Hmm well how should I start... I'm not really good at this >.<

I'm ArekuReiesu, or you can call me Alex since people know me as that from PSO v1 and Final Fantasy XI (It's my real name too). I was first introduced to you all by my good friends Rogue and Crawurm. Hmm what else... I'm a really passive, but really nice person and try my best to help others as much as I can, (RL or in game).

Likes: Well first of all, I love you all here at AT... and next would have to be online gaming in general.

Dislikes: Not much I can put here, since there's a lot of things I really don't like.

Hobbies: Umm... if being a full time student counts, then that works! Reading, and also, the obvious, online gaming.

I don't really know what else to say, but if you wanna talk to me, you can find me on AIM! My S/N is ReiesuArekuW

[Layrinn]

Whee-hoo! My turn ^^

First a bit about Layrinn...

Layrinn first truly came to life as a HUnewearl waaaay back on DC PSO v.1. I guess that was something like three years ago, huh? I played her a little while on Dark Age of Camelot and a teensy bit on Earth & Beyond. When PSO ep 1&2 came out for the Game Cube, it was addiction all over again, as Layrinn once again hunted on the planet Ragol. (This is when I hooked up with the AT) Now, like most of her fellow former hunters, she's waging battle against the beastmen hordes on Vana'diel... with the same trusty friends by her side. ^^

'Rinn is the most in-depth and well defined character I have ever created... she has a life all her own. It would take far too much time to relate it all here. She's formed unbreakable bonds with those who have been there to experience it with her. (many of which have spilled over into real-life friendships for me) If I had to sum her up in a few short phrases, I would pick the short description I wrote on her PSO Guild Card:

Black haired beauty with a heart of gold. She's a lover and a fighter.


And now, a bit about me...

I recently moved from Virginia to Colorado where I am attending grad school, studying robotics to earn my master's degree in Electrical Engineering. I like what I'm studying, but it's a lot of hard work. I work as a graduate teaching assistant to support myself while I'm in school. For the last two semesters, this has entailed teaching several electronics labs... if you ever hear me say I gotta go teach, that's what I'm off to do. (Professor 'Rinn! ;p) It's been a surprisingly enjoyable experience for me, and actually has me considering teaching as something to do for a living, although I'd prefer to be in a more design oriented role.

My hobbies include gaming, (duh) fast cars, and electronics. I'm fairly skilled at all kinds of technical stuff... everything from electronic gadgetry to some serious automotive projects. I'm just as "at home" online in FFXI as I am hunched over an oscilloscope or an engine bay. ^^ Every now and then, I get a creative itch.. and I like to scratch it by working on computer illustrations or 'Rinn-oriented fan fiction. You can find several examples of both if you dig around these forums a bit. (In fact, this would be a good way to get to know some of the more subtle details of 'Rinn's persona) There's also an elusive picture of me floating around here somewhere. ;)

Oh yeah... and I'm totally freakin' in love with the rock group Dream Theater. There is no one better... don't even try. ;p


I'm always up for a chat. I have two PCs set up, so even when I'm playing something online I still have AIM and MSN up. (my contact info is in my profile) So... if I'm home and I'm awake, chances are excellent that I'll be available to talk. ^^ I think the idea of a group chat is awesome. I generally spend all weekend on Vana'diel, so any time then is fine really.

[Mute]

Chat GET!
Retehi, scu, and I are in the AIM room Apocalypse Tribe.

Come join the fun.


EDIT: Had Donkey, Rinn, Camulus, and even Scan join us for a bit. Lasted a good few hours too. Good stuff. Y'all shy folk need to come in sometime. We'd love to talk with ya. Just go to Buddy Chat and invite yourself to Apocalypse Tribe. Either that or IM peeps randomly and we'll put one together. This of course if you want to chat n stuff.
