Right! So, most of us know each other irl, but some of us don't, so I figured this would be a nice way for us to learn some stuff about each other. Nothing major just stuff like favorite tv shows or movies or dream cars, whatever really.
I'll start!

Favorite TV show(s): Rizzoli & Isles on TNT; 30 Rock on NBC
Favorite movie(s): Disney's The Lion King; Jurrasic Park; Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark; Star Wars the original trilogy; The Dark Knight; Star Trek (reboot)
Dream Car(s): Camaro;
Favorite Food(s): Chocolate; Burgers; Chicken; Watermelon
how did you come up with your character name?
I got mine from the Marvel Comics series Runaways. There were two "villain of the week" type characters that were named vaDanti and deHalle. They're brother and sister. vaDanti was the brother, lol.

DM
 
The car is called the Camaro, and if I'm not mistaken, the Star Trek reboot is called "Enterprise". Just minor corrections. :P

The 2009 Star Trek reboot movie, is the one I was referring to. It was just called Star Trek, I just put reboot so people wouldn't get confused. Sorry if I didn't make that clear before, -.-;

Favorite TV show(s): Pokemon's my favorite anime, Port Charles is my favorite Soap Opera (not joking), let's see...favorite sitcom is the Big Bang Theory, favorite news show is Attack of the Show, favorite game show is Most Extreme Elimination.

Favorite movie(s): The Princess Bride and Star Trek: Insurrection. Done.
Dream Car(s): Smart Car, Lotus
Favorite Food(s): Pasta of any kind, Mike & Ike's, Vanilla Wafers
How did you come up with your character name? I have a vague memory of getting Naris out of WoW's random name generator when rolling a BElf once. Her last name I made up.
Other Random Things About Me:
1. I worry too much.
2. I involuntarily and randomly make a loud squeaking/squawking noise, and I have for years. No clue what causes it.
3. If you hear the words "That's what she said", chances are it was me.
Things I can't live without:
1. Video Games
2. Music
3. Imagination

Favorite TV Show(s): Food Network and Travel Channel. Juuust about everything on 'em. I also occasionally wander to the MTVs.
Favourite Movie(s): UHHHHH. Does the internet count? Slendermen stuff, I suppose. I like a lot of things but I memoryderp so hard.
Dream Car(s): I know nothing about cars. I know NEGATIVE about cars. By being around me, you know even more about cars. Congrats.
Favourite Food(s):Fried calamari. Red meat. Chilli. AWwwwwWWww yeeeeah.
Favourite Drink(s):Haven't had it in years, but my dad would mix grape juice, cranapple juice and sparkling water when I was a kid. YEAH, virgin drinks count. Favorite 'actual' drink, White Russian, though I never really drink.
How did you come up with your character name?:I do cultural research for many of my characters. Turmish lines up closest to Turkey in terms of real world culture, so I looked up Turkish names and chose names that sounded cool, as well as having had decent meaning for a Tyrran. Yavuz means 'Grim' and Sahin means 'Falcon.' He is not very grim, nor is he a falcon, but I like it all the same!
Other Random Things About Me:
1. I often try to scheme things several steps ahead.
2. I love people too much for 1 to make me an evil villain.
3. I voluntarily and randomly make a comical squeaking noise, and I have for years. No clue what causes it.
Things I Can't Live Without:
1. Food
2. Water
3. Can't Believe It's Not B--The Internets. Or people. But people are harder.

Favorite TV Show(s): Don't watch TV much anymore.

Favourite Movie(s): Bulworth, Gran Torino, The A*Team, Hannah, and a handful of others I can't remember off the top of my head.

Dream Car(s): 1997 Mazda RX-7 FD3S Type RS-R

Favourite Food(s): Whatever the hell I can make with whatever I've got is always good enough. Most chicken dishes are my favorite though.

Favourite Drink(s): I LIEK CHOCOLATE MILK. Also, some Hot Sake is always nice. Also Coke. Pepsi is okay too. Vault is best.

How did you come up with your character name?: Sykes was one of my old OCs, and I'm not entirely sure how I came up with it. The name just kinda fit, I suppose, because I was sick of using Cyrus for everything.

Other Random Things About Me:

  • I'm much too kind to you guys, because you've survived at least two TPK situations because of me.
  • I have an entire plot mapped out for our campaign that changes according to character decisions. Yes, all the way through 30th level.
  • I don't tell people anything about myself unless I'm asking questions about whatever they want to know. c:
  • If I have a headache, I will feed off your tears. Do not test me.

Things I Can't Live Without:

  • My brain.
  • Paper and Pens.
  • Any form of escape from having to deal with my grandparents for at least an hour.
  • Dice.

Favorite TV Show(s): I don't always watch television. But when I do, I'm watching Doctor Who. (And possibly Stargate <3)

Favourite Movie(s): Netflix / AppleTV has opened up so many movies to me that I might have never otherwise seen. Conversely, I can't remember them all. So, subcategories ahoy!
Recent Favourite Indie: Rubber - An old tire out in the desert gains sentience. As well as the psychic ability to explode things.
Recent Favourite Cult Classic: Cube - Six or so complete strangers wake up inside a square room. This room is connected to other rooms. Some of these rooms are full of hidden, but hilariously deadly traps. Also, the rooms shift around. So the room that was safe behind you, will slice you thinner then sushi. They try and escape.
Recent Favourite Historical: Kingdom of Heaven - Nnngh... it's been years since I saw this one. Takes place during the Crusades.. uhm. The leper king with the silver mask is my favourite character.. Just go watch it on Netflix XD That's what I'll be doing. Also, ending list here for brevity's sake.

Dream Car(s): The Jetsons.

Favourite Food(s): Did a lot of growing up on the (Sword) coast. out in the maritimes of Canada, you are exposed to a wonderful variety of seafood. I'm particularly fond of sushi. I also get pretty pumped for thick and meaty chili. That's awesome. Extra Spicy. And also steaks. Steaks are good.

Favourite Drink(s): Chai Tea. With a dash of milk, and lots of sugar; after the fashion of the Indian Princes who first enjoyed it hundreds of years ago.

How did you come up with your character name?: Names are very important to me when coming up with a new character. I might cast around for inspiration, or do a little digging and find some in-game or real world examples to better fit the scenario. But Memnarch is a wholly new character concept for me, but one I've wanted to do for a long time now, as Yavuz can attest to. His name is a bit tongue-in-cheek, in that it's the first blatantly stolen name I've ever taken. It's two parts tribute to the original, and two parts self-satisfying because while the two characters are vastly different, there are enough parallels to make it fit like fine clockwork.

Other Random Things About Me:
1. I am a particularly cruel storyteller, DM rather. I have almost no qualms about trying to kill the party. Or even my own characters. I have not, and will never, try to write my own characters out of a potentially fatal scenario unless the overarching story would not be benefited in someway. My purpose is for the good of the story. The castle collapsing? The only gate out coming down? You better believe I'll throw myself under that, and in a tendon-ripping, back-breaking final show of strength, hold that gate open for my friends to escape, until at last either the castle comes down upon me, or the gate splits me in twain~.*

If the chances of dieing, and being awesome not equal? You're doing it wrong.

2. I have an infatuation with Magic: The Gathering.
3. I want to be an artist, but am a terrible slacker at practicing regularly. Hopefully my "Of Iron & Fire" storyline will help break that habit.
Things I Can't Live Without:
1. A form of creativity.
2. Able to see the sky.
3. Love.

Favorite TV show(s): Adventure Time, Chowder, Tosh.0, South Park, Family Guy, Robot Chicken, extensive array of various animes, and most television shows with funny, large black women (i.e Madea/Tyler Perry).

Favorite movie(s): OMG TWILIGHT! (Lol jk, I'd rather watch someone get an endoscopy while I eat toffee peanuts. Then watch the process of erosion at work, forming valleys for the half-time show. Woot!)

Dream Car(s): A working one? That also won't dent when I hit people by "accident."

Favorite Food(s): Anything with nuts. Duck fetuses, crispy skin pork, phở, bún bò huế, pork buns, egg tarts, fruit tarts, Italian, pork blood, tofu, bovines, chicken, shepherd's pie, brie en croute, Dutch apple pie, bò kho, fried stuff, chips and salsa, mashed potatoes, rosemary Irish potatoes, dumplings, burgers, fries, onion rings. Anything that I can put into my mouth basically. Except for pig uterus; that shit is nasty, never try one.

Favorite Drink(s): Mcdonald Frappés(better and cheaper than Starbucks), Pepsi, Coke, water, Sprite, Sierra Mist, teas. If I'm forced to drink in company with family; Chocolate Espresso Martini(made w/ vodka) with a pony-shot of coconut rum and tail-shot of almond liquor to make it taste like an almond joy.

How did you come up with your character name? My dog.

Other Random Things About Me:
1. I'm allergic to nuts. All of 'em. Or at least most.
2. Quad-lingual: English, French, Vietnamese, and Ebonics

4. I love to cook.
5. I have squinty eyes.
6. White men above the age of 45 won't stay away from me...
7. Asexual :3

Things I can't live without:
1. Nuts
2. Kennels for the children

4. A sick sense of humor
5. Toilet Paper; I am not using banana leaves like my mother.
6. Cool friends
7. More nuts

Proper medication and, here's the really important bit, not going overboard are important. You can have a little. I'll deal with mommy, and then we can all go watch an oven explode together.

Shows up with the Camera.

What? That was it? How about this! Peter is never allowed to have my Chex Mix. Why? Because I mix it with Almonds and Walnuts. Also Peter can never have my milk because it's based off of Almonds.
