What would you like for us to know about you, for the sake of communication. It's more meaningful when our thoughts pertaining to you are guided by an accurate (or basic) idea of your self-image.

What makes you who are you are, what things have you done, and what were your reasons for doing them?

I will add my own bio once this thread is under way.

I have this, which I'm kind of proud to have been part of. Plaque to go along with it as well.

That kind of says a bit about me, having gone from firefighter - > forensic investigator - > UN weapons inspector/inspection team leader.

So, I'd describe myself as socially conscious, willing to be there for others as much as possible, resulting from becoming a professional firefighter when I was 18.

I have a PhD in chemistry, but not because I'm a geek. Just because when I was a firefighter, I was also a hazmat tech and we knew nothing about chemistry. I like to know technical details, so went and studied. Did ok because I was motivated, so just kept going.

Love of my life in cycling though.

Other's might see me differently, which is fine. I think we all have multiple versions of ourselves that show in different situations.

I'm punky. I listen to japanese anime OSTs and several genres such as rock and hip hop and pop... but always japanese.

Rainfleet is out doing stuff all the time, but i'm usually just vegging in my quarters with the lights dim, face lit by a datapad. watching animes you've never heard of. I ask people i meet whether they've seen my favorite ones but it's almost always no.

I enjoy my life. I don't know where the funds come from, it's stuff that 7 and 8 and 9 arrange, but I suppose it's not just a bad thing to pull myself away from anime in order to fly around in serious spaceships.

I like to fly falcons, and I like being needed by everyone. Sneaking around in a cloaky ship suuper fun. and i'm usually giggling when i'm on grid with someone.

I like really cute boys who listen to Panic! at the disco and Fall Out Boy.

geeze where to start.

i'm a 24 year old english dude with long hair in a ponytail. i sit in a windowless office 8 hours per day 5 days per week, working on a computer doing anything from putting numbers into spreadsheets, to tech suport and website maintenance. i also have a counterbalance forklift license and drive forklifts in the loading yard when needed.

i don't suffer fools gladly, and can be quite blunt and harsh without really meaning to. i also have trouble explaining things to others in a way that makes sense to them, sometimes.

i take a while to warm to people, but most people seem to like me.

In a few moments you will have an experience that will seem completely real. It will be the result of your subconscious fears transformed to your conscious awareness.

People say i'm airheaded but I think that's just because I don't always have something I'm thinking about. I could make an *effort* and think about stuff and make decisions, but most of the time I just do stuff that is interesting or fun when it presents itself in front of me.

like

watching movies, sleeping in, chatting on my datapad with kate, and picking out perfumes from early twentysomething demographic clothing stores.

I like flying falcons too, but i try to get seriousface about it because it usually means we're out protecting kate. :-3

I'm not the youngest rain but I get treated like the baby :-3

five and six will be baby rains to me for quite some time.

I was the first rain and at times it was rough and lonely for me. I woke up 8 and 9 and sent them into highsec to learn what it was about while I ratted for ISK in curse. i got podded a couple times so the space experience has been a bit different for me. I'd like to see them protected and I would do -anything- to make sure they have an easy life.

I'm mean, cruel, angry... but I try to keep it civil. I don't want to be without my gurrls ever again.

Whelp, I'm 38 yrs old... to go ahead and get it out of the way, I'm "bipolar 1 with schizoid features," which is generally under control with all the meds I take but I do have my moments. If you have any questions about it I'd be happy to answer them, I think it's good for people to know a bit about such things as they're not often talked about.

Married for 7 yrs, divorced about 7 years ago. She was crazy too, it was doomed from the start, lolz.

The love of my life is Mr. Nixon, my cat. I had his mother and grandmother too, so he's been with me since birth. He is always by my side, often on one of the keyboards on my desk =/ He was born on Easter Sunday, 2007.

My passions in life are Mr Nixon, Music, and Cooking. I have a music collection Ive been working on for like 14 years, all on my computers. Last time I tried to have some software count it I stopped at 30,000 or so songs cuz it was taking too long. All full albums and discographies. Varying genres. Takes up about 270GB atm.

Meyers-Brigg personality type is INTP. Quite the introvert irl, online Im more.. lively? personable? idk. You guys get it.

I like being sorta on the bad side in Eve,but irl Im probably one of the nicest people you'd ever meet. I've really been enjoying warming up to some new friends here on the forums these past few days Big smile

(somewhere, someone is thinking "goddamn that ssab must like to talk about himself")

Lol

all the rains are fine, except 7. she acts out and it works to relieve the things she might be struggling with, but sometimes even that's not enough. I keep a close eye on her mental and emotional state so I can know the things she might not tell me or be aware of.

she does her best to be tough, but it's a cover. when it's not enough, I'm here.

a bit of IC, but OOC.

I'm posting as Rain the Player.

I've been several things in the past, including heavy equipment mechanic (diesel/construction stuff) and worked as a field mechanic for a nationwide equipment rental company (United Rentals). Made good money, got laid off eventually, gg

I just wanted to know how to work on my own cars, and being a city boy, it sounded like a good idea.

then I was in the army for a few years as a medic. I wanted to learn how to take care of my own body. did a deployment (third) and then left the military behind me.

I'm in school now. It was pre-engineering for a couple years, until it just started crushing my soul semester after semester. I'm taking full load of art classes now, and i'm happier than ever.

I posted with the rains because they each have a part of my personality in them. the rains are real, distinct aspects of my own personality.

and Loco... he is my artist. and I think the remainder of my life's happiness will be achieved through art.

o7 o7

i'm 31, single, divorced, 5'6, polite in public but always looking for an opening to make a dirty joke...and I like hanging around like-minded people.

I'm on a roll of staying sober, single, responsible, and chasing my personal development with all of my energy.

this might bring up the question of love [and sex] life, but I have one. my amazing partner is me. he's handsome, intelligent, creative, understanding, brutally honest, resourceful... and just really good at keeping me entertained. and guessing. I think we'll go far together.

[5 said she likes boys. ...that part was IC]

that I should worry about losing my hearing is nonsense, because there will always be -=BASS=-

I'm a bit confused. The topic says "irl" but is Rainfleet reflecting on Rain Prime, or personalities?

Ah, well...

I'm a 48 year old biker married with two teenage boys. Built like a barrel and born in a time and into a family where old fashioned was the norm. I open doors for women. I say "please" and "thank you". I believe that an occasional ass whoopin' was necessary for people who deserved it but you help them up off the ground when it was over. Children were praised for doing things well, complimented on their creativity and disciplined when they did something wrong.

I used to have long hair but now my avatar looks a lot like me. Big smile

I believe you give a person respect until THEY give you a reason to withdraw it. You get two strikes. It's the "fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." principle. From that point on, they are not to be trusted and IF they want that trust back, they have to damn well earn it.

I've worked hard all my life starting with my first job at 16. Since then, I've never gone more that 4 months without a job. I've worked as a radio dj, harley mechanic, diesel mechanic and currently custodial engineer for the schools.

I love to go camping, listen to music and audiobooks. (Dont have a lot of time to sit and crack open a book, but I far prefer it.) Riding my Harley is next to sex in the greatest pleasures of life. I can sit for hours on top of a mountain looking over a valley or sit by the ocean and watch the waves.

I was a very angry person when I was young, but I've tried to get to the point where things dont bother me as much. I dont respond well to threats and honestly, I cannot stand malicious smack talk. At all. However, I tend to be self deprecating in my humor and will poke fun in jest.

That cover it?

Well some interesting write ups people are making.

The short version of me: I'm 22, I study medicine and I get involved in way too much stuff.

Alright, long version:

I'm 22 and half Danish half Indian (the Asian one, duh). I have a sticky brain so I can easily learn and remember stuff so high grades came naturally to me during school and college. After college i worked for 1 year in IT-support and figured out it was boring to I applied to med-school and I love it. I like working with stuff I can actually have in my hands so I dream about being a surgeon.

In my sparetime I like gaming and when I was younger I also flew gliders. I still got my pilot license but I rarely fly as I have moved to another city to study and I don't really have the time for it anymore. I am also involved in different organizations related to med-school and the medical field. The biggest time consumer is the local med-student exchange organization of which I recently become the president of (sounds fancier than it is). So I tend to get involved in much stuff and it does also spill over to eve where I spend too much time organizing stuff, which in the end has burned me out from the game.

As a person I am rather calm and helpful. I rarely get angry at people and I am good at keeping my head cool. I am both a very chaotic and structured person, but I rarely plan much ahead. I just have a very relaxed approach at things and take the days one by one. I may appear as a reserved person but that is because I have difficulties dealing with large groups of people and can be very shy.

❤️️💛💚💙💜
