Returning with Questions and Questions, Oh My!

Why HELLOOOO everyone! Nadi Morsch here, finally returning to this marrrvelous game after a long hiatus.

First, some RP business for the marshalls: I'm currently in the process of writing a rather intense backstory for one of my characters. In the process of writing the story, I've discovered that she cannot possibly go by her real name while in Travance (or anywhere else for that matter.) I've only played her for one event, so changing her name on her character card shouldn't be an issue- however, I was wondering what else this affects IG. When is it necessary for a character's real name to be known? Will the name-thing be a significant problem, IG/OOG, or have other people done something similar? Thanks for your input! >^_^<

Now, some questions for EVERYONE!

1) WHAT... is your name?
2) WHAT... is your quest?
3) WHAT... is your favorite color?
4) If you could be any kind of tree, what tree would you be and why?
5) If you could meet any historical figure, who would it be and why?
6) Currently, who is your favorite band or recording artist?
7) What is your super-secret hidden talent of [glow=red,2,300]DOOM[/glow]?

My answers! 

1) Nadi (which is short for Nadine Ann)
2) In the short term, to have a perfectly marvelous time. In the long term, get my double BA and join the Peace Corps.
3) Rainbow. (... sometimes I have a hard time making decisions  )
4) I'd be an oak. "To catch a falling oak leaf will bring you luck and prosperity." (I'm really into luck rituals- wishing on stars, dandelion orbs, et cetera)
5) Oscar Wilde, because I worship his rapier wit across the decades the separate us.  :'(
6) My favorite artist changes on an hourly basis, but at this exact second I'm rather enamored with Dave Matthews.
7) I play the accordion. (a skill I might bring IG with Casmina... because the gypsies aren't obnoxious enough already!  ;D)

Well... not exactly a new player anymore, but...

1) Zach
2) To not fail at life (which entails getting my degree and finding work in theatre)
3) Green
4) Beech.  They symbolize tolerance.  Also, people walk all over them (they're commonly used for floorboards).
5) The problem with meeting the people you idolize is that they usually disillusion you.  Still, Shakespeare.
6) Wolfstone.  They're a celtic rock band.
7 ) I don't know.  It's a secret.  ;D

They were cool about letting me change my name IG. Meychan is... er... his middle name. Yeah that's it!
Now about these questions...

1)Pete
2)To find EVEN MORE instuments to play!
3)Plaid is a color... right?
4)Rowan Tree. No reason, but there's a pipe march named after them.
5)Julius Ceasar. Also, I wonder who wound win in a fight between Ceasar and Sun Tzu.
6)Is/was/always has been Dave Grohl.
7)Tae Kwon Do... also, I bake a mean pudding.

So... does your mean pudding use Tae Kwon Do to beat up smaller desserts and take their lunch money?

Aw, thanks Mars! All I have to say is... Geoff Schaller is a god. The end.  ;D

Not finding work in Theater does not make you a failure, Zach.  You merely redirect your goals.

1) Charles or Charlie, except for Quags and Craig Chambers.  When I am called to the beyma, I go by G'dalya ben Zvi ben Yitzak

2) Having made the perfect pipe 25 years ago, it is to continue to live life to the fullest.  Looking for my 4th career.
3) Green - the multitude of shades in the spring is astounding.
4) Copper Beach - lots of shade.
5) Emanuel Lasker.  In addition to being the world champion in chess for 27 or so years, he was also trained as a mathamatician (misspelled).  Einstein said Lasker was one of the very few people who could follow and understand his concepts.  Unfortunately Einstein was a patzer.  Although chess is certainly objective, Lasker introduced psychological factors in his games.
6) My tastes are too varied to pick one.
7) Slaps or Mercy.  I have not lost in decades.

1) working/performing name Arez. real name ALex
2)The same thing we do every night pinky... Try to take over the world!!! Or at least a small nation to rule with an iron fist with a millitary dictatorship.... as a relatively benevolent dictator.
3) Black... and blue
4) Hemlock. i think they pritty.. and they toxic to peoples but not forest critters
i dont think i could narrow it down to JUST ONE... but here is the short list.. in chronological order: Agamemnon, Achillies, Leonidas, Hammurabi, King David, King Phillip, Alexander The Great, Hannibal of Carthage, Eric The Red, Ghengis Khan, Atilla The Hun... um.. yeah thats them. as for why?.. what do you think?!?
5) Man o' War!
6) if i eat curried goat I can make master vampires "churp their chips"

So... does your mean pudding use Tae Kwon Do to beat up smaller desserts and take their lunch money?

Well that depends. The figgy pudding had a rough childhood and holds a grudge against the world... but the yorkshire pudding likes the forms competitions.

What about the vanilla pudding?  I expect that it's rather boring.

But it goes great between layers of a rich chocolate cake.

Yeah... this was slightly off topic, so it got put... in off topic...
