Why are you here?
My good friend Daennika referred me, and I'm proud of her for putting this forum together. Well, that and I have a little obsession with the Clones...and the Mandalorian culture. After I read in an interview that Karen Traviss modeled the Mandalorians after the Celts, I was hooked. I LOVE kamas (kilts!), and since she created a race of near-Scottish people, I'm here. I have roots somewhere in Scotland, and I'll take whatever route I can to connect with it...even if I go the long way into a galaxy far, far away. Also, I have to admit that for my 34th birthday I bought a Clone ARC figure, and the only color he came in was yellow so I repainted him red to make him Ordo. "Ordo" now sits lovingly on my desk at work and protects me from the coworkers I prefer not to deal with. He's a sweetheart like that.

Things we can judge you for:
My fan fiction. I got my big break writing Voltron-related stories, but I recently started writing about my own OC Squad of Clones. I hope to get them posted here soon. In the meantime, if you're curious and want to judge me sooner rather than later, you can look for me on fanfiction.net under my pen name Ms.MaraJade

Hey Ms.MaraJade! I'm happy to see you're here! (When're you posting the next chapter of your RC fic? )

Hi Mara! I have a red ARC Trooper figure named Ordo, too. Don't feel bad. :D I also have a gold one I arbitrarily named Kom'rk. Oh, and I have a Jodo Kast figure that is being squished by an over-enthusiastic Fixer. Sooo yeah, you're not the only one with action figures.

I have so many RC fics I need to read now! Should I read them and provide trivia from them as answers for tests that I won't study for? Discuss.

Hey Vhe!

Thanks for the welcome.
I'm hoping to get the next chapter up soon. I was planning tonight, but Daennika led me to her new site, and I got carried away with reading and posting. I'm in the midst of doing a final edit and proofread. Hang in there -- maybe by the weekend!

Hi Catika!
Thanks also for supporting my Ordo fetish. Glad to know I'm not alone as someone who "isn't like other girls." Sadly, I must admit that I also have an Obi-Wan fetish. He hangs from the rearview mirror in my car. I just can't put the two of them together, though. If Palps executes Order 66, one of them wouldn't survive, and I couldn't live without either of them.

Why are you here?
Just to learn more about Mandalorians and such. Ive always been a big fan, and there's so much to read about them. I'm into roleplaying in star wars, and being mando is my favorite. Too bad i dont have the time to research more. Hopefully this will change. Im also especially interested in the language and on more then one occasion I've made mistakes in it. oh well... .__.

Things we can judge you for:
I guess my DA: http://thatmetalchick69.deviantart.com/
I only have a bit of fanart there, which centers around my rp character. My Slave Leia cosplay is in there too. Maybe ill be inspired to do more ACTUAL fanart ::lack of motivation:: My armor that I'm supposed to be making ia also a W.I.P....hopefully ill be inspired to finish that too.

Massive turn out! Thanks a bunch for joining Nightsister69!

And Ms.MaraJade, it's awesome to see you contributing here, it makes this place feel so "homey" all of the sudden.

Alright, enough cheering - back to being aloof and bossy.

Svyatoslava (that'd be something like "saintglory" in English) - or Glory for those who don't feel like breaking their tongue while pronoucing it. As it's the Mandalorian forum, I took a libery to translate my name in Mando'a, so here I am - Kote. =)

Why are you here?
Well... mostly because I'm very fond of Mandalorians lately. =) All right, let me tell the story of my love to Mando'ade. The first of this kind whom I met was Canderous Ordo, who's the most likeable character of KOTOR, to my mind. I got interested in his war-stories and started searching the Wookipedia for more info. Then I've run into a link to Karen Traviss site and found out that there's a Mandalorian language, and I find "invented" languages most fascinating. So, I have already fallen in love. And when I've read Karen Traviss's books and met Kal Skirata and Walon Vau, I've understood, that from now on I'm a Mandalorian fan and there's nothing to be done about it.

Things we can judge you for:
I've got a page on DA, but it's mostly not-so-very-great photography and some pieces of fiction (none related to SW). I've also got a blog, but as it's in Russian I don't think it would be of much help.

Daennika, thanks for the welcome aboard! You've done a great job here with the boards. Seriously!! That fact that I make it "homey," well I guess that just comes from being a Mommy. I suppose I wouldn't be offended if I suddenly got referred to as Mara'buir. Being one of the older members (if not the oldest one) probably attributes to that.

Now all you younggins get back to having fun!

My friend Cathryn/Catika sent me a link. It's been awhile since I've been apart of a forum community and I kind of miss it.

Things we can judge you for:
Drawings and stories, but I only have one story up on FF.net. I don't get around to uploading my arts on DA very much. They're mostly pencil so nothing spectacular.
Here's my ff.net profile with my one two chapter story, har har. It's not finished though.
http://www.fanfiction.net/~triya

Hi and welcome, Tenna! Catika really held her promise when she said she'd promote the site around. This is most good.

Thanks for joining! I'm checking out your FF.net page and that Ramseur character rings a bell

Hi Daenika and it's no problem.

For a second I was like "Wait, he does?- OH!"

Yeah, so far he hasn't really done anything he's just mentioned a lot. It's funny, I think Catika has him doing more in her story than I have him doing in my story so far. He does actually do things in the next chapter I promise. I've just been too busy to work on it until now.

Good luck with that! What kind of materials are you using? And are you a role-player? Because all of us role-players should get together and do something epic and show Daennika that we aren't toolboxes.

That's so cool! Do you speak Japanese? I took four years of it in high school! I also love your Russian to Mandalorian translation for your name. Awesome.

And last but not least: HI TENNA. You're like soooo cool. <3 RPG NAO?!

I do magic with Cardboard, lol it sounds bad but I really love to use it with costumes! And the rping ive done is not official...like not an actual site...but I would love to RP in this forum!! So not a toolbox....lol!

Yep, I do. Hajimemashite, do:zo yoroshiku onegaishimasu. =) And thank you. XD

BTW, is there going to be a role-play game? I love forum role-playing!

Yes there is. The board is below the "Just chatting" part.

HELLZ YEAH! I'm sort of thinking about a post-Order 66 stick-it-to-the-Empire Mandalorian shenanigans sort of deal. I mean, I guess you could say that's overdone, but I know I don't want to do the Clone Wars, and I don't know enough about the New Republic to want to do that.

Tenna and I did an Old Republic RPG a little while ago, and it was fun--especially if we hit on the Mandalorian Wars and all of the interesting things that KOTOR never really covered. But I don't know, we'll talk about it in the appropriate forum. :D

Okay, carry on with introductions!

Why Am I Here?

Well, First off the introduction of Mandos are the best thing since ESB came out, and all I can say is I'm hooked. But alas, whenever I start getting geeking out and talking about them people think I'm nuts. Daenn'ika invited me to this site and I'm glad to be here and share the Mando Fandom.

Things to Judge me by...

I have some Fan Art and I'm working on my own Mando Armor. I admit outright that I am a bit lazy when it comes to art motivation, but meh, whatever. (Too much CoD4 )

Welcome! Where are the links to these fan arts and armor?! I demand them! (In the most non-pushy way possible...)

Why are you here?
Well, I'm a big fan of Karen Traviss and the Republic Commando Series, I started with the Republic Commando Game, after that I started to look for the books, here in Mexico it's very difficult to get them but at least I can get them. I decided to came to this places because I would like to know more fans of the Mandalorian culture, wich I really find fascinating. Not only about the Commandos, but Mandalorians in general and I mean their culture, their language, their culture. So.. Im glad that someone post a link to this site.

Things we can judge you for:
Well, I have some stories, but they are in spanish, maybe one day I could translate one, also I have been playing a Satr Wars campaign based on Republic Commando, for the roleplaying game, there I have a character called "Scope" (Yeah I like snipers) RC-1617, wich is part of the Epsilon squad.

Welcome, Alseides! It's cool to have people from all around the world. I hope you're enjoying your time here

I don't like how you're shut off whenever you try to talk about Mandalorians in SW on most places that call themselves forums for fans. That and it's fun to get a new place to bask in nerddom.

Wait, what kind of role-playing? :O That's so awesome! The first thing that came to mind for me was a Dungeons & Dragons campaign. Anyway, welcome to the forums! Good to see another commando fan amongst the ranks too!

And welcome to you too, Gratulor! Already looks like you two are racking up some posts. Strong woooork!
