I figure I'll give you the OOC Intro Meme I made that we use over at our TES Role-Play site here.
How did you find this place?: A blog entry on the dA TES Fans page. Since I run a TES forum myself (with two other lovely admins) I just had to check it out.
What is your role in the fandom? Writer, Modder, Artist, Lore Buff, Role Player, Regular Old Fanatical Player, Something Else? For the most part, I write fanfiction. As a result, I'd consider myself somewhat of a lore buff although I've got my gaps due to lack of interest in certain subjects that never affect my stories. I do write pretty lore heavy. I'm just now learning to draw (for the express purpose of rendering my beloved characters more beautiful)... we'll see how it goes! *crosses fingers* So far I kind of suck, but am rapidly improving! ;D I've also got my first major mod in the works... but it's rather ambitious, so stay tuned! It'll make Great House Telvanni and the Mages Guild both... more interactive, to say the least.
Any notable works? Fall from High Rock (the misadventures of Edwinna Elbert's naive younger sister... puts a VERY different, darker spin on much of the same old gameworld material) and Blood of the Daedra (the backstory of the Vvardenfell branch of Great House Telvanni as told through the eyes of the former archmagister in the 2nd Era). You can find them at DeviantArt or LiveJournal if you’re interested.
Favorite NPC? Master Aryon, Baladas Demnevanni, Edwinna Elbert, Divayth Fyr, and Tiram Gadar (yeah, I know the last one's a little weird, but I've done a lot of character development on him)
Notable PCs? Alyssa Elbert (Breton younger sister of Edwinna Elbert), Malcus Esdric (Imperial Twin Lamps/Thieves Guild type), and Eldafire (Altmer High Priestess of Mephala, in the 2nd Era) have all shown up in my fiction. I RP Alyssa on my own forums. I wish I could claim Soryn Uvirith (Altmer former archmagister of Great House Telvanni), but he's technically my husband's PC, as is Gavin Magnus (Altmer Psijic Monk). Too bad - they are so much more interesting than my own PCs. Ah well.
Favorite Faction? Long live Great House Telvanni! ;D
Favorite Quest? Gah, I've done those silly quests so many times I know them backwards and forwards! I like the ones that happen inside my own mind the best nowadays... But if I had to choose an original, I'd pick... anything at all that brought me to Gnisis so I could visit Baladas. Well, except for the Morag Tong Grandmaster quests, because I NEVER play those! For obvious reasons... *shudders*
Least Favorite NPC? Almalexia, because she killed Sotha Sil, and was otherwise an insane bitch.
If you were a PC, what race would you be? Well, if I broke down my real races I would be a Nord/Ashlander hybrid who would come out looking something like a Breton. However, personality-wise... I would almost certainly be Altmer. I'm very intellectually powerful and somewhat aloof but weak to everything (especially elements... I don't thermoregulate at all and seriously... who gets struck by lightning... twice?).
What would your class be? Telvanni Necromancer
What would your strongest attribute be? Now, naturally I'm vain and I'm inclined to say intelligence but really... I have superhuman willpower and that outshines my intelligence. I need it. Ah well.
What would your weakest attribute be? LUCK!!! I demand a re-roll! *shakes fist... the right one, since her left proximal radius is currently fractured due to a freak accident*
What would your strongest skill be? Hmm... restoration for sure. I'm a medical professional in multiple fields ranging from emergency medicine to veterinary to dental to nursing to massage therapy (amongst other things). But I haven't learned any cast-on-self spells yet, unfortunately. :-(
What would your weakest skill be? Um... acrobatics or sneak, most likely. Too bad - I used to be a professional dancer and national all-star cheerleader (I've been a professional lots-of-things). I can't sneak up on anyone now due to my bones cracking with every step. And I'm only 25!
What do you do for a living? I chop up corpses… No really! I teach an upper division cadaver-based anatomy lab at a major research university. I've literally got skeletons in my closet - 3 males and a female to be exact. I also teach Human Sexuality and Reproduction and conduct scientific research in the wonderful field of paleopathology – which is a subset of bioarchaeology involving ancient diseases and medical anomalies. I hold advanced degrees in both biology and archaeology and am currently a PhD candidate in Integrative Biology. Yes, someone put me in charge of pre-medical students, sharp objects, and severed reproductive organs in buckets. Heheheh. Explain my writing style a little? Eh?
What do you do for fun, besides TES? Not much. I don’t have time. I don’t even have time to sleep... should be doing that now since I have to teach tomorrow… Hmm… I rescue abandoned, neglected, and abused parrots and nurse them back to health. I do a lot of historical reenactment – or at least I used to. I love to sew Victorian clothing and needlepoint. I am also very casually involved in the Gothic subculture (although I identify much more with the label "geek"), when my friends are able to catch me to dress me up and drag me off to clubs so we can dance the night away. I’m always terrified I’m going to run into one of my students. Well, not really. I’d probably just laugh and keep dancing. ;D
What is your D&D alignment? Go here if you're not sure - I’m Chaotic Good - strongly so. Libertarian, too - the ultimate stereotype. I really wanna see someone ADMIT to being evil! I can fake it pretty well, at least.
What is your Meyers-Briggs Personality type? Go here if you don't know: (a short version, so I’ve seen them get it completely wrong) I’m INTJ, strongly on all accounts. No complaints with the personality profile – it’s dead on. So, hello Hannibal Lecter! And Tiram Gadar… and most of the Telvanni council... at least as I wrote them. Heh.
Anything else you’d like to tell us about yourself? Sure! Let’s see… I’m married to Cerebri. You may all pity the poor boy. And I have a very black sense of humor. *evillaugh*
I also regularly RP and have done extensive character development on: Master Aryon (he's my most utilized character), Baladas Demnevanni, Tiram Gadar (probably my second most utilized character), Divayth Fyr, Mistress Dratha, and Berwen the Trader. Obviously I write Edwinna Elbert quite a bit too, since my OC is her younger sister. ;D
