Character(s) played under this account name:
Arturos, Son of Gustaf
About My Characters:
There was a time when Arturos left his homeland, upset and confined. He fought his past, fought what his future would bring, and felt like all the gods would bring him was countless hours tending herds and raising crops. The fates it seemed had only one choice, one life, one world for him. But the gods don’t just define our daily life, they give us opportunities; and when a lost ship moored at the docks, Arturos took his.

It was some time before he jumped from that ship, but when he did he found himself in a land, green, rich, and full of folk and creatures he never seen before. Penniless, hungry, and alone, he set up camp in the wilds of Karamoon living off the land and learning from it as well.

Those were the salad days for him. His worries were little. Gaia, the Goddess still a mystery to him then, gave and gave her provisions and he welcomed it. He was a hunter, attune with the wilds and those who lived in it. Those friends he met and loved were the closest to him he ever known. It was a paradise to him, one that he hoped never would end.

But it wasn’t what the gods had planned for him. The paradise ultimately ended, the troubles sent him from place to place, from experience ot experince:

- He rented an apartment, but to pay for it he sold the pelts collected as a hunter.
- Soon the pelts brought demand, and learned to build a profit and good trade.
- Trade gave him an opportunity in a trade post
- His sailor days and his travels to his homeland opened up trade deals and negotiations
- His hard work brought him the title of “Master of Commerce”
- When change came to Tarrund, he was asked to be a councilor
- When trouble came to Tarrund, he ascended to the lead as Governor
- When he found he could not save Tarrund alone, he left to be an Innkeeper in a new land
- When that land was torn apart, he drifted back to his home in Karamoon to try to find peace
- That lasted only a few weeks, and was drawn by a friend to Ravenscraig as a farm boss
- It was a short time before he was asked to sit on the Village of Ravenscraig Coucil as well

His paths wander and split like those that go through the grand mountains;each step bringing danger and trouble. Much of his life he has been outside looking in, watching instead of being. But like the paths through the grand mountains, the veiw never stopped amazing him, and he never forgets the steps he walked nor the people he met.
About me as a player:
well ... lets just say my dad's not named Gustaf ... I will say, when Arturos is traveling, I am traveling - so don't think my lack of in game rp doesnt mean I quit the computer world

I got lucky and caught myself losing my grip on RL recently; and forgot that sitting on my ass in front of a computer sweating government duties or admin responsibilities is no way to really enjoy life itself.
I keep repeating: "SL is Just a Game; its supposed to be fun" based on what a good friend told me and I am not suprised that some of you don't like that attitude, but tough ... I"m going to love this game from now on, just TRY to stop me :D

Also suprisingly, I am fighting to keep my RL in order, and am generally losing. So if I don't always respond, or am not always there ... don't take it personnally (unless your a goat).
Favourite Games:
Rock Paper Scissors --- cause Diabolus is going DOWN!!
Checkers -- cause Kali cheats!!
Favourite Sims in Secondlife:
Ones with Rollar Coasters, and Haunted Houses, and Popcorn, and Chocolates, and those things that spin you around, and clowns, and ... and ... Santy Claus .. and ... and .... and ... a puppy

Return of the Hunter

In the morning he digs through some crates, mindlessly digging through the clothing he has purchased from many ports. His hand touches a piece of fur and holds fast. It feels like something that is like a dream, like a memory, but in a way what he still is.

Every where he turns, the horns blow, the drums beat, the hearts grow stronger. War comes to this land. No longer are many to ignore what the Northerners have done. No longer can so many fight separately. Come soon, a fight will come far gre… Continue

A Man and his Dog -- Part 2

The meal was very eventful. Kehl demanded to eat his meal in wide bowl, on the floor, and without his hands like his new friend. No amount of debate could change the boy’s mind, as he kept with the play, laughing nosily with each bite. The dog’s barks rang regularly through the small home, and every couple of pieces of meat were followed by a quick run around from room to room. Each step the dog took, the boy was right behind, looking to tug a tail or hug the hairy beast.
“I apologize for Snausy… Continue

A Man and his Dog -- Part 1

((Here’s what I did for holiday break. For those who don’t know, I have a VKC dog named Snausy. In my early days of rp, she would follow me around everywhere – and I credit her with turning my rp social life around. Problem is that over the months, the scripts stated getting screwed up and she caused awful lag, so I would only bring her out occasionally. But now it makes sense to move on a little, but not without a goodbye :D))

The gangplank was grounded for no more than an instant before Snaus… Continue

The Quiet Ride Home

((slightly old story ... but then again, I kept myself busy until now ... but hopefully won't be too confusing))

It was a fine morning, indeed. The sun shown down on the wide sea, and the southern winds warmed the air around them. You could even feel sun in the sea spray as it washed across the bow, slightly moistening the Governor's fine clothing. But this day he needed little to warm him.
He walked the deck of the ship, minding the time for the short voyage. This was an easy journey, one he h… Continue

Something Stirs within the great depths

((Had been thinking about doing this for a bit ... and since the Dark Lord chimed in, thought I would return the volley))

There's a dull routine that comes with leadership. There is the usual information gathering, what has come to the Port, what has left. He stills looks over the trade goods coming and going from the warehouse, that old habit doesn't die easy. But for the Port Governor, he still looks forward to a warm greeting and a shake of the hand from the new people he meets in this town.… Continue

I'll use any wrestling related excuse to show my appreciation to the Macho Man... boy does that guy crack me up. So do YOU... 'cause yer gettin' older!

You know what, though. It's not that funny. I was thinking just the other day that I'm gonna be getting older. I'm so scared of 25... it's halfway to 30... then that's halfway to 60... oh god. I suppose I should just be happy I have 4 more years 'til I hit 25. Hot dog I'm gonna binge drink 'til then!
