Bio

Hi hi hi there ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. I am Maiden, aka Maiden of a Million Words. I've been a member of RPG since 2010, and before Guildfall I was a notorious long-poster with a post count over 3000. In recent years since I haven't done much roleplaying; I don't trust myself to post consistently for long periods of time. Instead, I've been writing short stories and novellas whenever I feel the urge to make magic with twenty-six letters. Still, fond memories and a sense of nostalgia keep me coming back to the ol' Guild... even if all I do is post a new signature set and have a bit of a read through Advanced.

I'm a middle-aged female currently living in the Southeastern United States. I have a pretty average/boring clerical job. In addition to writing and roleplaying I enjoy hiking, horseback riding, shooting, graphic art and napping. If there's something you'd like to know, feel free to PM me and ask... I'll get back to you eventually.

This Signature Set has the honor of being the first proper one made for NewGuild. It's inspired by the song "Stardust" by Gemini Syndrome.



Up next, a set I made just for giggles. I was browsing for renders on deviantArt and got distracted by all the signatures there. (Those people can art circles around me.) I really like my Stardust set, but my style is so simple. I wanted to prove to myself that I can do bright and interesting, if correctly inspired. Song: "Good Man" by Devour the Day.



(I don't know how often I'll make neat little display things like this. I'm lazy.)

Welcome to my graphics showcase. I enjoy putting all the signature sets I make to wear around the Guild into one handy thread. For one, I like to show off... and also to get constructive criticism from other artists. Two, scrolling back through my gallery thread is a great way to see how my skills have improved.

In loving memory of OldGuild, and because this is a new gallery that means a new start, the only place you'll find sets that I wore there is right here in the first post.

Signature Sets are the only works I intend to post on this thread, but they're not the only thing I do. If you'd like to see more of my work (photography, tee shirt designs, poetry, etc.) feel free to mosey on over to my deviantART page.

As a general rule, I do not accept requests for sets. I have a difficult time making pretty, shiny things when the original character/material doesn't inspire me. That being said, if you really like my style and really want me to be the one to make your next forum sig, feel free to PM me. I'll at least take a look. ;)

Thanks for stopping by!


@ Oblivion: Oh yeah, that's right... I forget it's exams season because I'm not in school and I don't have kids. Your studies should come first, of course, but please do let me know if you're not going to be able to post for a while. Thanks for checking in! :)

@ Tigre: Sweet. I'll get right on that lol! Also, that song is totally my favorite right now. High-fives for great taste in music. :D

@ Shin: So you are writing a character for us, then?! Neat-o, can't wait to see who you come up with!

So that just leaves Vampiric, Syblyx and Kalleh. I still have bad men waiting to be dispatched to retrieve you...
Hi Tigre! I figured you were still with us, but thanks for checking in! :D I've got a mind to write up another one of my Thirteen Patients and send him or her Dante's way, just so you can have a little interaction with someone else's PC. Interested?

Congratulations, Elsa! I just changed jobs myself, so I know how crazy that is. Thanks for letting us know what's going on! Also: <3 Magneto. I can't wait to see Days Of Future Past: Beast is played by the guy who was R in Warm Bodies. <3 <3

I'm killing time 'till the rain clears out, then I gotta go to the barn and give a little TLC our lame mare. Poor baby strained a tendon in her right hind, so she's gotta be on stall rest... but she hates it. She's normally a pasture horse so the stall is like solitary confinement for her. I've been going out to hand graze her for at least half an hour every day to make sure her mental health stays intact. Since it's Saturday and I'm off, I'm going to let her have a whole hour. I feel bad for my sweet miss Opal. :(

So, for now I'm going to set up my graphics gallery thread. I'll be writing when I get home from das barn. :)
That's right. I will send bad men to do bad things to them. Well, I guess they'll be bad men for not hiring you, but I'll send worse men. XD

Cripes it's a ghost town around here. Is anybody home? I got distracted by graphics last night... sometimes that happens: my brain will flat out refuse to write and not allow me to sleep until I have produced sufficient arts. But I have all weekend and -finally- nothing to do with it. So I will write!! Huzzah!

This is another roll call. All players please post in the OOC within 72 hours!! Except Pumirya and Elsa, who are clearly present.
Well, I got a surprise half-day off work today, so I has some writing time. I'm going to try to get something hammered out for Cadie and possibly Jax, but we'll see how it goes. I have a sig set bugging me to be looked at. Sig set is now done. Writing next! :D

@ Elsa: Good luck at your interview! Break a leg! XD
Jesus Pete, has it been five days since I posted on the OOC?!? Apparently time flies whether or not you're having fun. XD

@ Tigre: Nice post! I rather like what you did with Greg, totally fine. It's nice how surprised Dante is about the whole thing. Good job!!

@ Pumirya: Yours is nicely done as well. I very much like medicine that isn't pleasant.

So tired. Must sleep. Moar tomorrow.
You know, I harp on being playably crazy for a reason. I'm amazed that nobody's ever picked Tourette's Syndrome (Even though it's technically neuropsychiatric, I'd allow it!) or OCD, paired with something like Generalized Anxiety or Bipolar Disorder. (Intermittent Explosive Disorder would be a good one, too!) I love Cadie's Conversion Disorder for that reason: it can cause her to go blind, have seizures, give her phantom pains, all sorts of weird stuff in reaction to stresses. Though it's not fun for Cadie, it's totally fun for me to play. Her Impulse Control Disorder is the one that's scary: in real life, people who suffer from it often attack others physically or verbally, or do really inappropriate things. Since hers is tied directly to her telekinetic Mutant powers, she attacks with that instead sometimes. So she's very much sick without losing the ability to interact. Same way with Remy's PTSD and Dissociative Fugues/Amnesia. So it's not about how crazy you can be: it's about how crazy you can be and still have a fairly solid concept of reality.

Just my two cents. Why can I not write anything without rambling?! Anyway, it's past bedtime, as usual. XD Night!
@ Shin: Well, I can't see a good reason to deny a Twisted Alum when I pretty much gave a free pass to the others, although technically we're full. You're certainly welcome to just lurk around the OOC instead though, if that's what you prefer. I also see no reason why you wouldn't be up to Advanced's standards... you kept up just fine in the previous Twisted.

@ Syblyx: I know you're waiting on Oblivion to post, if she doesn't do so soon I'll send Cadie your way.

Tigre? Vamp? Oblivion? You guys still here? XD

Pum, you can post whenever you like. Kally and I are working on something, so she's sort of excused from posting for the moment. Anyone else is welcome to go, if you have questions or would like a nurse interaction, please just let me know!!
