I kinda figured that.  Actualy iwas wondering why each of you personaly
chose
your characters.

Oh, OK.

I chose Scar/Scarlet as my sig fig for a few reasons. She was the second
castle character I ever created (not EVER, but after I reentered castle), and
the first one to be in depth, with personality, objectives, history etc. Not
only that, but she evolved and changed, and I really like her. She is nothing
like me but I like her a lot. She's definitely my favorite character, and
although she is in no way the most important person in my realm (from the
minifigs' point of view :-) she is quite influential and my storyline will
often be told from her POV (albiet in third person).

There isn't just one thing that made me call her my sig fig... there were a
lot of things. •   Cool

For example I'm leaning heavily towards a character i like to
call Acer.  Hes not realy very important although he is the caretaker of the
royal gardens witch many important characters do visit.  And while handy
enough
with a sowrd to defend himself he's no match for a well trained knight.  Me
being a landscaper by profession i just sort of identify with him more than • my
other characters.  I have some other characters i realy like but i'll most
likely go with him.

Cool! Sounds like you have good reasons! The important thing is that you like
him, IMO... •    Thanks and i do like him

BTW, being a landscaper here's a question. Do you enjoy building lego
landscapes or do you feel it's too linked to your "real" job to be fun...?
As an architect wannabe (1) I'm wondering if being a professional architect
won't make me hate lego... :-)
   I do like building lego land scapes.  It alows you to try out different
ideas and see the results without all the hard work plantig trees and building
ponds in real life.  To bad i dont have enough lego plant life to do what i
realy want.  I think being an architect you might enjoy lego more by drawing
insperation from it and vise versa.  I know seeing a $100,000 + landscape from
start to finish gives me ideas to try Lego

p.s.  In case you are wondering Acer is his nickname.  I havent thought of • a
real name yet.  Acer comes from Aceraceae the scientific name for the maple
family.  One of my favorite trees.  OH and tanks.

Interesting! And you're welcome!
I also often have reasons behind my namings. For example, my character Kfir is
hebrew for lion... I'm actually rethinking that name, because Kfir himself is
NOT connected at all to the lion kingdom. Other names, I just choose because I
like.... Siffera for example is a name I found in "Nightfall", a great book by
Asimov and Silverberg.

Neat

(1) take that literally: I want to be an architect. When I grow up, that is.

   I have seen your inn and i thik you will make a great architect

(...) I see... that's great. I'm sure you'll eventually get enough lego plant life to try it all! <snip> (...) Thanks! -Shiri (25 years ago, 2-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle.org)
