Well since Bear thought I needed to make an introduction thread, here I am. All that I am, I am.
Well, I'm Gankhruun but Gank is fine. I'm 18 and studying concept design in game development in college and I'm Australia!
Feel free to say hello back.

Suddenly, a large dark-brown bear enters the room. He appears gentle, and is curious about the newcomer. <Hello! I am Bear. Are you new here? Let me show you around!>
<This is the 'RAF Social' (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=29.0) Board. We really get to know each other here. You've already introduced yourself, and you can also have your own Member Profile (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=30.0) here, too!> The Bear lumbers back through the doorway, leading Gank into a hallway. There are many, many doors here.
<This door is the way to the 'RAF Projects' (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=13.0) Board. Lots of RAFians work together on all kinds of cool stuff, like producing Animorphs audio-books (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=15.0) and "RAF: The Animated Series" (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=3738.0)! It's a really good show....> Bear moves over to another large door.
<Here is the 'Bored Board' (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=1.0). We play games and love to waste our time here! It's a lot of crazy fun. You should join us here!> Bear continues down the hall, speaking as he goes.
<These three doors are for the Animorphs Section. We discuss the books, TV show, and anything about the series in the 'Animorphs Forum' (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=2.0). The 'Animorphs Role Playing' (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=6.0) Board is exciting! RAF always has active RPG's, and lots of cool players. I hope you like to Role-play as much as I do....> Bear's short tail wagged. <And we have some talented writers who share their 'Animorphs Fan Fiction & Art' (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=5.0) in here. I like that room.> Across the hall, there is another set of three doors, side by side.
<That is the 'General Board' (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=11.0). We can talk about anything there... the weather, funny quotes, or anything you like! We also play all kinds of non-Animorphs RPG's (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=23.0)in there, and we have way more neat stories and artwork (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=27.0) in that last door.>
<Oh yeah! And there's the 'Media Area' (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=4.0), where we talk about movies, TV, the news.... And we talk about 'Other Books' (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=21.0) in that room!>
Bear sits on his haunches and looks at Gank. <It's a big place, but it's so much fun here! We're glad that you came. Tell us a few things about yourself here (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=6489.0), and what species you are here (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2154.0.html).>
Bear begins to walk farther down the hallway, which opens into a thick green forest. He looks over his shoulder and says, <You'll see me around. Welcome to RAF!>
Sorry about the wall o' post there. I had to win. :P Me and a couple other RAFians have this little contest to see who's first to greet the newcomers. That's just a small taste of the insanity here. From when we met in RAFchat, I think you should enjoy all of this utter insanity. Welcome Aboard!
-
Hey, we've already met in RAFchat, but hello!
I'm a dinosaur. RAWR.
-
I dunno if roleplaying is a customary thing (Tobias did that to me too. xD) but thanks for the warm welcomes.

Gankhruun wishes to ride the bear instead of walking every where.

Hey-lo, Gankhruum! *shifty eyes* Welcome to RAF, officially. A note of warning. There are a few things you need to look out for, if you haven't met 'em yet.*nods*
1. A French talking Yeerk.
Yep, that's right. But she speaks English too for...English speaking reasons? *nods a few times* Careful with her, she's kinda spooky. :P She'll lead you down a hallway and introduce you to the RAFipedia, the Audiobook Project, Graphic Novel, smiley project, Animorph translation project, RAF: The Animated Series, RAFparody animation project, Project Planet, Animorphs: The RPG, Animorphs Command-line game (another video game), an Animorphs Body Count, the musical aspects of RAF, One RAFian, one volume of Animorphs (a really interesting project), and then little projects. And she'll mention how to add your species, age, where you live, and how to go to school. Yep, we have school here. *nods*
2. A telepathic Bear.
He looks gentle. But be careful. He can get really mad. Of course, he won't tell you that. But if you anger the bedtime bear, or anything...let's just say that bears cause some damage. *nods again* He'll tell ya about RAF social, and just in a sentence about the RAFprojects, who you can turn to Dameg for more detail. Then you'll see about the Animorphs stuff. There's the Animorphs forum, Animorphs Fanfiction and Art, and Animorphs Roleplaying. You should check those out. *nods again until his head starts to spin* Ow...sorry 'bout that. *clears head* Then he'll lead you to General Board. It's just what the title says. Anything general. There are also, as he'll show you, non-Animorph RPGs. Several, actually. And more fanfiction too! And finally he'll tell you how to say some more about yourself. Pretty easy stuff, actually. *nods again, but his head is so loose it finally falls of* Uhh...you wouldn't mind picking it up for me?
3. Finally, 2 kids out to take your sanity.
Oh wait, skip that last one! I'm here--along with Myth, when she gets here--to take out all of your sanity, whatever you have left of it. It's what we do best. *nods* She'll be here shortly.
So....did I ever say welcome?

*Sullen, 'coz Bear won*
wHELLcome, Gank...
I'm Vis... I'm Dameg, another RAFian. Come with me, please, I have something to show you. It's here, after this door *Open a heavy door* We call them the RAFprojects. *Lead Gank to a long and dark hallway, with many doors, some in the dark, some with light coming from the other side. Arrive near the first door* Here at your left...

- the paper-RPG project: a role-playing game (on table, with paper, pen and dices...) about the World of Animorphs; I head this project, and it'll be write in French at the beginning, but we need help to find, class and write everything we know about the species, the planets, the powers we see in Animorphs, fix them, see what we keep and what we can't keep (because of the KASU, not clear, exception for the main characters/books, etc.), complete the knowledges about species/planets we know and even create new species/planets...; this project will be on my own website, so if you wanna join, ask me the link ^^;

*Standing in front of Gank* I hope you enjoyed your visit. Oh, and I also invite you to add your species on this list: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2154.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2154.0.html) 'coz everybody isn't Human here. And we like to know who is what... For example, as you'll probably see, I'm a Controller. ... and if you want, you can add your age too: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,318.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,318.0.html)... and say where do you live here: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=5049.0 (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=5049.0) so Marie can add you on the RAFworld Map!
We also opened a http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=36.0 (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=36.0) to teach to each others our languages and other stuffs.
Now I have to go, I don't invite you for the meal, sorry. *Beginning to go down dark stairs. Gank can hear a cry coming from the cave.*
Have fun!
*Dameg disappears into the darkness, Gank is now alone in the hallway*

Welcome! Yay, a new Aussie! Yes, roleplaying is a thing here. We have two roleplaying boards, the Animorphs and the General. If you can't find a roleplay that you love, go ahead and start a new one! I can almost guarantee it will garner at least some interest.
If you need anything just let me or another staff member know. Always happy to help!
-
Hi Gank, we met in the chat last night. As you have no doubt realised by now, everyone here is completely insane; you have been warned! :P
Anyway, welcome to RAF. Have fun!
-
Welcome to RAF, I'm Steph. :) Nice to meet you.
-
*runs into the room and barely avoids running into a wall* YES! I FINALLY DIDN'T RUN INTO THE WALL! *does victory lap**trips**runs into wall* Gr...
Ahem. Hey-lo, Gank! I'm Myth, RAF's resident sugar-happy dryad, and I'm here to confiscate any sanity and/or sugar you might have. And you can definitely trust me with sugar. Yup. Definitely. *shifty eyes*
Well, you've already met some of us. As you can see, we're a very welcoming (though a bit insane) group. So jump right in and have fun 'cuz you can never leave once you come!
-
Welcome to RAF Gank, hope you stick around.
-
*covers his eyes*
Myth, ya hit the wall! *headdesk* I want a better partner!
-
Hi Gankhruun! I'm Marie -- nice to meet you. I hope you stick around and enjoy your time at RAF! See you in RAFchat and the forums soon!
-
*covers his eyes*
Myth, ya hit the wall! *headdesk* I want a better partner!
I know I hit the wall, thanks. I did better this time, though. Right? Next time maybe I won't run into the wall at all! And remember what you said in the last introduction? And I quote...
Myth, be more careful. I don't want a partner who speaks badly about me.
*meaningful look* Anyways, back to the task at hand. Got any sanity, Gank?
-
*glares* Be nicer, please!
*whispers* He seems very insane..
-
Hi there! We've spoken in chat, but thought I would stop by. Below in my sig I have a few threads with projects of mine. The Twilight recaps, drawings I've done and a fanfic.
See you around!
-
Hey Gank ^_^ Welcome to RAF. I haven't actually seen you in chat, but that might be because I'm bad at being in chat these days >.<
Anyway, take some time to explore the forum- you're sure to find plenty to love. I know I always do ^_^
It's good to have you here!
-
Nooooooooooooooooo *evil eye* ONLY I can call you Gank!
-
Heya Gank :kitty: Welcome to RAF, I'm Tara! Do you mind if I call you Gank? Jess clearly does... :XD:
-
SHUT-UP TARA!
-

-
I could find something else. Want me to change it to "what's up, sport?" ?
-
I could find something else. Want me to change it to "what's up, sport?" ?
