breaking the mold.

[The Funslinger]

I'm a white male from a middle class rural background.

This. I come from an intensely Yorkshire family, and we've been here for a thousand years.

I have some quite typical Yorkshire traits (actively disgruntled, and when I put people down, I do it bluntly, am somewhat terrifying in a fight) and typical British traits (I do tend to be quite gentlemanly, am cynical, sarcastic and witty)

Beyond that, I'm not all that normal as an individual.

 

[CrimsonBlaze]

I'm an adult who breaks the mold of my social and ethical class by exploring other customs, traditions, and cultures and learn as much as I can about the world and the people that inhabit it. Most people in my culture tend to not bother with such things because they feel that it will "stress them out," but I have never been stressed out in my life.

Also, if I tend to have a wrong/misguided/bigot view/ideal/custom about something, I tend to acknowledge it and never express it as such ever again.

Make mistakes so long as you are willing to learn from them quickly is what I like to say.

Let's see here... White male, sub-urban raising, good schools, middle class family... I'm fairly normal in that respect.

On another note, I (obviously) love games. I also love to shoot things, and blow things up. Hunting and camping are the things that I love to do outside of gaming. I'm athletic, have "quite the arm" (as in I can throw things goddamned far), and have had a girlfriend for most of my high school and all of my college career. I've got a borderline genius level IQ (depends on how lazy I am while taking the test apparently), but got B's and C's through high school because I'm a lazy ass. In fact, most of my friends thought I was an idiot who slept through all of his classes until it came to test taking time and I got A's all the way through (perfect scores on the SAT and ACT, for those of you who know what those are). I just never did my homework.

Oh! Except for the girlfriend thing (or perhaps including it...), I had the stereotypical anime Harem thing going for me in high school and didn't realize it until after I had left. Not joking; I spent most of my time with between five and six girls, all of who I later found out from my sister, mom, or each other, liked me. There were a couple more outside the main group that also apparently had crushes on me - confessions from after high school was over. And, oddly, one of my friends told me that my sister had said if I weren't her brother she would totally date me. I even had the one/two guy friends who hung out with me on the random occasions we'd do things.

I feel like that makes me unique, for a real life person anyway.

can I call you Keitaro Urashima? X3

I am a lesbian tomboy born into a male body.

I also find certain animals romantically attractive.

/inb4 "Eww, get a girlfriend you freak!"

awwww, that's so cute! So you're a transsexual tomboy like me?

 

[Kizi]

Right. I don't like people in general, save for my closest friends. I feel like everyone ignores me and secretly hates me. I want to leave society and live alone somewhere in the mountains, surrounded by beautiful scenery. I also want to be a chemist but I suck at mathematics.

Dat dilemma.

Yorkshire! Oi aye!

...Sorry, I suddenly went all native. I'm from South Yorkshire. =P

OT: I'm a middle-class white female tomboy, and... Umm... Well I don't really stand out at all.

I guess not having an accent in a very accent-strong area kinda stands out a bit? >.> I also have a weird obsession with pound coins. (When I have a whole bunch, they make me feel like a pirate or something. GOLD! Muhahahaha...)

 

[Total LOLige]

I'm from rural Scotland and I DON'T spend every night drinking Buckfast and stabbing people.
Nor do I work on a farm.

Nothing like a bottle of bucky and a good stabbing.

I'm a stranger in a foreign land(Englishmen in Scotland)

 

[BlackStar42]

I'm a white, middle class suburban male...oh bugger.
I'm a Chemistry student who loves fire and expl...oh, drat.

I'm from good real superior manly North Yorkshire, myself. Out in the country where the only people we hate more than you Southerners are the Scots!

I'll admit that in games like Elder Scrolls I always pick the Nord, or equivalent, because North, fuck yeah!

I'm not that accent heavy, either. Enough so that I could probably achieve the "lines of swooning women" effect in America (I somehow doubt that would apply with a strong accent) According to people around me, it's definitely there, though. Comes out more when I'm drunk.

I will say one thing for South Yorkshire, I'm a huge fan of Sean Bean.

Edit: I agree with the pound coin thing. A sock full of quids has also made a handy improvised weapon on one or two occasions...

 

[MellowFellow]

I think what makes me stand out from other people is that I speak in a monotone voice a lot. It's why I got the nickname Eeyore back in high school when I played on the baseball team.

 

[saoirse13]

I'm an Irish girl. I like make-up and dressing nice (sometimes) Rural Middle-class. I love gaming, playing drums, drinking. I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to some shows, movies and comics. And the only part that makes me slightly different is I'm a part time car mechanic. Also love rallying.
I think thats the only thing that makes me even a tiny bit.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I think you're in the wrong forum if you're expecting people to call you a freak.

OT: Social awkward nerd who would like to take dancing lessons (But can't afford, shits expensive). Hurray, my personality is like straight from a 90s brittish child drama.

The only good thing about South Yorks is Sean Bean. xD

My accent comes out when I'm really angry, which is usually where the sock full of coins comes in most handy >

I can also kill someone with a newspaper!

I think we should make Sean Bean an honorary North Yorkshireman and have done with it. As the man that converted Sharpe, it's really where he belongs!

Anyway, I just noticed you're a mod and am immediately jealous of your blue username! Just shows how little attention we pay to these things.

Bwahaha, it's so shiny and blue. 8D

And noooooo! You can't take our Sean Bean away! :< If you try, I'll kill you with... A patch of nettles!

Kill me with nettles?

How? Admittedly, it would be incredibly irritating and would give me a sleepless night, but kill me? HA!

Just out of curiosity: How much time does an effective mod dedicate to this website? I've never been sure how many of you there are, and I wonder how difficult a job it is.

There's about 8 of us? I think. xD Our names are listed in the Code Of Conduct or the Mod FAQ.

Time spent here varies from Mod to Mod. I'm on here pretty much everyday, for around 5 hours a day (Spread out, of course.). I'd say most Mods are here for at least an hour a day.

And there's a slim chance you're allergic to nettle stings! I'm willing to take that chance! Muhahahahhahahaha.

Thanks for the info. I actually got offered a mod position on some abstract forum back in the day, but I turned it down due to lack of knowledge, and the fact I knew I'd get bored of the forum within six months!

Still, I thought there'd be more of you. Take that as a compliment if you must.

And I grew up on the Yorkshire moors. Do you REALLY think I'd be here talking to you if I were allergic to nettle stings!?

On a semi-related note, I think the mascot of Yorkshire should be a black labrador. They're the quintessential working animal here.
