The 'good evening' thread: introduce yourself here

Only recently have I gotten into the habit of playing Fallen London, but I must say that so far the game is a blast beyond the wildest of my beliefs. I will say that I am just as new to these forums as I am to Fallen London. Merely call me Darkmianko and I’m sure our discussions will go most well.

Good day! I’m Thomas, and my character is Bennet Carlisle, a hedonistic immortality-seeker with an irritating conscience. I love Fallen London because I love stories and games that let me investigate mysteries. I welcome social actions of the friendly sort, and I’m happy to duel in Knife-and-Candle. I’ve been playing on-and-off for some years. I live in Scotland when I’m on the Surface. If anyone wants to share some Black Wings Absinthe, I’ve got nine bottles going spare, so feel free to ask.

Greetings kind strangers,

My character has been running around the Neath since early autumn, mostly punching people and now capturing various creatures for the labyrinth. He’s really looking forward buying a ship and sailing away to faraway places, possibly never to return. So far he hasn’t been very social but I figured I’d give it a go now that there’s a protogé system. Feel free to send me cats and whatnot.

The name’s Mikael. I spend my time doing a bit too much, mainly martial arts, programming, writing fairy tales for grown-ups, designing board games, studying virology and various other things.[li][/li][li]

Salutations and felicitations all around, I’m sure.

I’ve been playing since early 2011, although you couldn’t tell by the state of my accoutrements. My character is fascinated by The Glass and has chosen every possible opportunity to insinuate herself further into studying their lore.

In real life, I’m an aerospace engineer, nearly finished with my graduate studies in applied mathematics. Hobbies and passions include gourmet baking and cooking, gardening, martial arts, and word/puzzle games of every type imaginable. My husband and three very young children are fondly tolerant of my Fallen London habit.[li]

I am nominally referred to as Adam, which shall suffice. I’ve been wandering the Neath for quite some time now, but only just started to make use of the forums here. Thankyou to those who’ve already assisted with my enquiries, its been most beneficial so far.

When I’m not in front of the screen enjoying this fine land, I’m generally hiking the Antipodean trails, drinking, or teasing my cats about their appearance. In about a week’s time or so, I find out if I’ll be spending the next 3 years at University studying the Correspo… sorry, Health Science. Here’s hoping.

I’m Dorian Foster, named for that damnable song, no less. I’m haunted by a past from the surface that a few drinks may help me forget, but with a little work I may lay it down to pages.

I find solace in old things and odd things, and confess my thoughts to ravens. I draw them into pen and quill, and across rag-made pages.

Katarina Moller, aspiring author and darling of Mr. Wines revels. By all means drop me a line sometime delicious darlings~

I may as well say hello here, since I’ve posted around a bit. My username on most things is Suitov, as is my character’s name (until I get around to changing it).

I’m fully stat-capped and lazily grinding for Overgoats while hoping to become a Paramount Presence, but am open to some invitations when I have the actions to spare.

My character is a bibliophilic generalist suffering an embarrassing, unspoken and, one assumes, unrequited love for a certain robed someone.

Baron Simur, a daring trickster trying to get into the Conjurer’s rank. Looking for other mischievous devils down here.

Good Evening, Dears…

I will skip the Surface introductions- really very little reason to know that, I think. Unless you’re interested in blackmail. In which case, I wish you the best of luck in your investigations.

Otherwise what I will say is that this is my second incarnation- my first life got herself locked up in limbo where no one could touch her. Que sera, I suppose. I look forward to making my way in the world in this life, however, and to become well acquainted with many of you. Some of you may have already found my calling card on your premises…

As so many people here have already become so deeply enmeshed in life underground, I find it difficult to butt into conversations. Therefore, I have taken to dancing silently around the edges- watching you, learning from you, learning of you, until the time comes where I have something delicious enough to share with you in turn.

Until then…

Hi guys, I’m a programmer living in Toronto. I live with my wife and my 5 month old daughter. My hobies are videogames, playing guitar and bass and photography. I am making music as a hobby.
[li]

We have just realized we have yet to introduce ourself. Oh well. Here we go.

We are a high-school student living in Winnipeg, with dreams of becoming an audio-book narrator and an author.

In Fallen London, we play as the leader of a powerful criminal organization dedicated to uncovering deep truths and hidden rhymes.

We wish you all the best, unless you getting all the best forces us into getting all the worst.

We apologize in advance for any terrible puns or jokes we might make. They always seem so funny when we write them.
[li]

I guess I’ve never introduced myself here, so I should.

On the Surface, I’m Michael, a recent migrant from Durham, North Carolina to Richmond, Virginia in the US.

Down in the Neath, Trodgmey is a bit of a recluse, most at home either in the Forgotten Quarter or out to Zee. He’s generally willing to put a bit of elbow grease in where needed, and if he has to be around other people, he generally prefers the company of the Bohemians (though he’s wary of all of the honey tasting), the Revolutionaries (though their obsession with bombs and such repels him), and the Church (though the stuffed shirts and corruption make him weep for this Fallen world).

As a player, I’ve been remiss in taking advantage of the social opportunities in the game, preferring to plug ahead solo. Please feel free to make social connections, but I’m particularly interested in scholars Trodgmey can correspond with while at zee.

Hello, everybody! I have just started the game in November, so I am quite lost with all the choices… My character, Meredith Ingram, is a very persuasive and mysterious young lady, who has just started her way into society.

I am glad I am here - I might need some help with my game… English is not my mother language, so… please be patient with me.

Good evening, gentle humans. I too, am a human. No one has ever said otherwise. As a human in a human world, I sit at a lab, watching and analyzing SPACE! pictures. That is all I do.

My true residence however is in a city stolen by bats. You may have heard of it. I have occasionally desired human companionship, and have been known to provide the same to other humans.

PS: I am a human.
PPS: I definitely am human.

Good evening, all! bluetulip47 here as well as in-character. I’ve been playing since autumn of 2010, though I’ve taken two lengthy absences. On the Surface, I do things relating to computers and language.

Hello all and good evening if it is evening where you are. I started FL about two years ago, but I did not become active until very recently. And now I am thoroughly and utterly addicted.

I enjoy writing stories and eyeballs. Seek me (Jaime) out if you’d like to do a little story or some such![li]

Quick edit! I should probably clarify that my character’s name is Jaime. My actual name is Vanessa. Yes. That is all. Hrm.

Why, hello, fellow fiends!

I, regrettably, forgot what my first FL account was, so this is my second name but first introduction. Who says you can’t have a fresh start, eh?

So, without further ado, I’m Teapot. Tarnished Teapot, to be exact. I understand that might be a dreadfully strange name to some but it works well enough for myself. I’m a rather Watchful and Dangerous sort of lady, always on the look out for some friendly souls who want to have a lovely chat or a nice stroll down to The Singing Mandrake.

So, with that, feel free to add me and here’s to seeing you around the city!

Greetings, fellow Londoners ! A good evening to you all !

I believe some kind of… introduction is in order? I wouldn’t want anyone to think that what I’m doing is breaking and entering – I’ve heard New Newgate has an awful chill at this time of the year. And I’d be glad to get to know you fine folk.

[I’m Marasquine – please call me Mara. In the the other world, the one where I’m sure London is still firmly set on the Surface, I’m a French student, currently researching a field that a whole three people have heard of. I have a tendency to wild, starry-eyed enthusiasm and a deeply-seated love for music of all sorts. I enjoy good stories quite a bit.]

Lately I go as Mara D. Mare, owner of a superfluous initial and a pet lizard. Since I’ve escaped from prison, I’m doing my best to reclaim some kind of reputation… Who knew becoming an inquirer was the best way to go? I’ve been known to be as dangerous as a startled mouse, but fairly keen-eyed, and able to surprising amounts of persuasion when circumstances require it ; perhaps it was just the kind of job I needed. My net is slowly expanding upon this crawly city – and when I’m done, if anyone is watching you, chances are I’ll be watching them.
Bits and pieces start falling into place. Mysteries clear up, leading way to even bigger mysteries. It’s a pretty novel experience ; seen that way, the world is clear, and right, and reassuring. Ready to be seized. Now if only those dreams would leave me alone…

When I’m not on a case, I like to relax as the Singing Mandrake. When it doesn’t involve murder victims or missing devils, I’m actually quite an enjoyable company. Join me there, would you? I always got some good absinthe lying around. And plenty of tales – some better than others.
Speaking of which, did you know the one about the Vicar who —…

[That’s about all, I guess. I’ve been in the game since… yesterday, and I’m already enthralled by what I can see. I’ve been browsing the forums some time ago, and I just wanted to tell you how flabbergasted I’ve been made by some of you people’s dedication and proficiency. This is fantastic. Creating and expanding so much and so well upon the game’s lore is something that takes all kinds of gifts.
I’m looking forward to meeting you all ! Please forgive my faulty English and inexperience ; and here’s to many future adventures!
Cheers!]

Fine ladies and gentlemen of the Neath,

It pains to me to confess to such degenerate beginnings, but just days past I found myself cornered in the ghastly going-ons of Newgate Prison. Framed, I tell you! Fortunately it was immediately realised that a person of my esteem belonged not within a thousand yards of such despicable depths as that gaol cell and my release was secured forthwith. Regrettably, my reputation was tarnished by such unfortunate circumstance and I now find myself languishing in an attic room. An attic! Of all places! I wonder if this lamentable experience has affected not only my reputation but alas, also my mind, as I find my dreams increasingly filled with shadowy visions of bloody revenge. Ah, but I babble on and share superfluous details. I hope my running-ons have not disturbed you. I’m perfectly sane, I assure you. Well, fairly certain… in the main.
