    About You Off-Site:

    1. What's your name? Lissette, HA! Just kidding, no seriously. 
    2. Where are you from? Chicago, IL, but was raised on the West Coast so I says soda pop
    3. Where do you currently live? Miami, FL
    4. Do you work? If so, where? I teach at a college.
    5. How old are you? It's not polite to ask a lady her age *cough* Lissette is gonna turn forty *cough*
    6. What do you look like? (bonus points for uploading a picture) I'm in the selfie thread somewhere, holding a pillow.
    7. How tall are you? 5'6"
    8. What five words would you use to describe yourself? obsessive, dedicated, crazy, detailed, funny
    9. Aside from gaming, what are your hobbies? Singing (well, it's work too. Opera), writing, reading
    10. Do you have any pets? If so, how many and what are they? Right now I have one clownfish and one neon dottyback. Used to have a Pomeranian and several cats, but my current place doesn't allow furry pets.

    About You On-Site:

    1. What significance does your username have? It's uh... my name.
    2. What brought you here? Lurked, for CB, but then my Albee needed a home.
    3. How long have you been a member? 2 years, but really only active for about a year
    4. How long did you "lurk" before you joined, and what eventually made you join? I was a lurker for about a year before that. Just felt like joining, but didn't post anything substantial until last year.
    5. Why do you keep coming back? The community, the support I receive for Straag Rod, the content, the discussions, the friends. 
    6. What's your favorite thing about the Vault? Gotta be the blogs, though Lore discussions are fun too. Everything is an apotheosis and everything has sex with everything. 
    7. Least favorite? I like it, but I am having problems with chat, lol. Makes the site go all weird for me.
    8. Do you prefer to hang around in only one group, or do you branch out to multiple? I lurk mostly in TT, but I poke my head in other places. I mostly drive Lore, CB, and the Workshop crazy. 
    9. Have you ever posted original content? Is the sky blue? I have posted more words than Sotek, and he's posted a lot of words.  We just compared our word count today. I wins. 
    10. Have you made any friends on the Vault? Too many to list, but most people know me as the sidekick to the Loyal Hound of Hircine. But I am also a friend of Lorcs, Justiciars, Hippies, Ordinators, spotted fawns, Argonians, and boney squirrels, among others. Tailed and tailess.  I am an avid distributor of sujamma and deliverer of Orc smacks.

    Everything is an apotheosis and everything has sex with everything. 

    That's the magic of the Vault, it's actually just one big orgy of magnificent content.

    While you can remain in one group, if you want to improve your content, you'll have to branch out to the ressources of the other groups (sure you could do it all by yourself but where's the fun in that?). Let your brain cells mingle in the crowd.

    CB profits from RP, T&T, Lore... Whereas the Story Corner (no abréviation, I'm a local) profits from Lore, RP, even CB (long live the cursed tribe). RP profits from Lore, Story corner, CB, Etc.

    Let alone the benefits of groups like the Workshop, Art and the Modders enclave.

    And you know what the best is about all that: everyone will be ready to help you. It's one if the great things of this site, in my opinion.

    About You On-Site:

    1. What significance does your username have? My name with only W instead of Weber; nothing huge

    What's that? Farmer Johansson was on his way to market in order to get Mrs. Johansson a new apron, and to pick up a prescription for his mother in law who has been suffering from rheumatoid arthritis ever since she came down with that fever in the summer of '05 that laid half the village low for a good couple of months, and as he reached the bottom of the O'Reilly pasture, he stopped to tie his shoe when a tractor tipped over and fell on him? Is THAT what you're trying to say, girl? xD

     "I think of everyone I meet as friends… till they tell me I’m not xD"

    What a fantastic attitude!

    I would not have thought you are as young as you are. You act like a gentleman, the words you use are very mature, your poetry deals with heavy themes and you are all around a decent human being.

    1-My name is Thomas.

    2-I'm from the Netherlands.

    3-I currently live in France, Dordogne.

    4-Nope (As in not at all, not even in school ;p)

    5-I'm 16 years old.

    6-Imagine a weird dude with blond hair going every where ...well there you have me

    7- I have no idea.

    8- Curious , lazy (I don't know why but I see this as a good point of myself), funny , stupid , weird

    9-Watching movies / youtube vids / reading manga's and some stuff from Teineeva /i'm also part of a theater group.

    10-We've got two large dogs, two donkeys, three (+- 6) goats, two cats, one fat cat, three bunnies, three guinea pigs, a whole lot of fish and ... I think I've got everything. Regardless, I love animals.

    -Teineeva

    ahh!! I love being lazy. Thank you big Brother.

    1- Well my username was made in two parts.

    First I made up Thoraka , because I needed a name that sounded like it was a barbarian and at the time I thought that “raka” sounded babarish and I needed to make it mine so I put “Tho” from Thomas before it...

    Then later my big brother a.k.a “Teineeva” and I played on an mmo and he found out that he loved writing and at the beginning he wanted to make a book with a lot of our friends from the mmo in it

    and well if you want a badass character he also needs to have a badass name so he came up with akilaru and that sticked and now it is my username for almost every game / site etc...

    2-My brother kinda forced me to read his text and finally I started to look at other subjects than his and well I liked it so why not make my self an account.

    3-Well I had my account for almost a year but since it is literaly the first time i'm going to do anything on the site let's say that I have been here for a week or two.

    4-Almost a year.

    5-My brother ( *cough* forcing me to read his text *cough*).

    I can't really answer the following questions since I haven't seen enough of the site yet.

    But I hope I well get to see the rest of it in a near futur.

    1. Dorian
    2. The beautiful city of Amsterdam, the Netherlands!
    3. After moving around for a couple of years I'm back in Amsterdam.
    4. I'm an emergency operator for insurance companies and travel agencies. (A veritable jack-of-all-trades, I am)
    5. I'm turning 27 in two weeks.
    6. 6'3''
    7. As gay as it gets. ;)
    8. Aside from gaming, I like drinking, playing Magic: the Gathering, talking about philosophy and reading.
    9. Not at the moment. I'm a big cat lover, though. My beautiful Princess Peach was with me for sixteen years. 

    About You On-Site:

    1. In James Clavell's novel Shogun, there is a madam calling herself Gyokosan, said to mean Lady Luck. I liked both the name and the Lady Luck aspect so I slapped the -hime suffix onto it. Princess Gyoko has a nice ring to it.
    2. I was rifling through some character profiles I'd made for Oblivion way back when and thought I should do the same with Skyrim. For inspiration I turned to the internet and ended up here.
    3. Since October 2015.
    4. A week or three. I joined because I was really impressed with what y'all come up with. 
    5. Because I like trying my hand on new builds. 
    6. The quality of the builds and the creativity of the builds.
    7. The quality of the builds and the creativity of the builds. (No, really. Actually putting a build out there is kinda frightening considering the level of some of the stuff on here.)
    8. I like to lurk in multiple groups because I'm a lore nut as well as a role play freak. So anything concerning lore, characters and in-universe creative writing is fair game for me.
    9. I've posted one character build so far, with more coming up once I've finished at least one of the five builds from the group I'm currently playing.
    10. Well, I have one friend in my list, so I guess I do XD
