Hello everyone!
Iām Wyvern, I guess kind of obviously, and I was sorted into Flinterforge, which feels fairly appropriate. Iām currently a college student so Iām pretty busy, and Iām studying psychology, anthropology, and history, but my career interests lie in zookeeping and animal science. I actually worked as a zookeeper last summer and became, legitimately, best friends with an owl. I read a lot, mostly science fiction and, predictably, fantasy. I also actually have a cat named Nimueh which I understand is also the name of a guild leader, which I think is fun. I play flute and I do pit orchestra here at school about every semester. Iāve loved magic since my earliest memories and I was always that kid who thought if I tried hard enough Iād finally get to experience it. I guess now I kind of have so Iām really excited.

Hiya my name is Chellyā¦ Well actually itās Me/Chall but by now everybody just called me Chellyā¦ Or even āhey u yes u u over there uā and I smile even with that greeting will doā¦ Iām 40ish??? Iām a Ma to 10 beautiful almost grow children and two grands and one one the way (the rainbow baby)ā¦ Oh speaking of rainbow babyā¦ Iām color blindā¦ Geez that seemed to come from outta nowhereā¦ Blah blah 32 years ago I was shot in the right eye with a Red Ryder BB gun AT FREAKING CHRISTMAS TIME AT THATā¦ 
I have to admit that Iām Loosy Goosy as my meds havenāt yet kicked inā¦ Stirring over the whole forum and OMG GOOD GRAVY WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF INTERESTED IN NOW??? I was minding my own business way on May 19, of 2019 and my ADHD was kicking me big time and as normal I come in and plop on the couch and get online to catch up on the latest hip hop gossip and the fakes onlineā¦ I wasnāt paying much attention to my typing as I Googled āmagickā but by mistake āmagiqā and āBernsteinā pops up on my screenā¦ I chuckled as I said aloud ālike the Bernstein Bears???ā But I lingered on the page for a few to many seconds too long and it caught my interestā¦ WHAAAAA GET OUTTA DODGE WHATS THIS SORCERYā¦ With my chin in my hand I wonder into the world of CJ Bernstein and his The Monarch Papersā¦ I was hooked and I knew I was in troubleā¦
Long story short I invested the best of three days immersion blender of the forum and the new information I was no lie there sitting on my couch for three days straight engulf and completely in over my head lost with the Magiqverse and those who inhabit thereā¦ A knock on my door and "OMG my life was on pause for THREE DAYS STRAIGHTā¦ I had lost track of time and how could I do something like this where did I go what happened did I die or alive IN ANOTHER UNIVERSE YASSSS OF COURSE in between the In-world and Out-worlds and everything in betweenā¦ I had to actually get off my lazy bum to answer the front door to only be greeted by my groomās (OTR driver with USX) loving but tired faceā¦
HEāS HOME YAYS letās go snuggles for the next two days uninterrupted it was then all that I had encountered just left me but not completelyā¦ I had read up to chapter three of The Monarch Papers and just left everything like I hadnāt ever discovered itā¦ Or so I thoughtā¦
secretly The pages leaked into my consciousness every so often but I suffer from severe ADHD ASA it come into my In-world so it slipped into my Out-worlds š
š
š
As our lives changed like in a split second 90Ā° Iām seeing myself go through and sitting in the passengers seat next to my groom on his normal duty time I was swept away from the āhaving to deal with actual peopleā phase of my life and into a life I truly wasnāt prepared forā¦ An OTR driver for USX who was now being bossed around by my groom (in loving but stern moreso as he became my boss over night)
There u see there I go againā¦ I lost track of time and I was loosing my memory of my footsteps I just took 20 secs agoā¦ Whatās wrong with meā¦ I go OTR right on into a full blown depression I like to call The Lovely Depression as I was constant with my situation at that time but totally out of my heart (we had to board our sweet sweet VJ while we were out OTR) I lost myself again and I knew there was no coming back thenā¦ As he worked so patiently with me and my driving skillsā¦ I became the person I promised myself I would never become againā¦ As he worked to get our handsome orange tabby reunited with us and I slowlyā¦ No I really fell into depression almost over nightā¦ It scared me and apparently him to seeing how much I missed our child VJ and couldnāt stand the separation from himā¦ USX granted permission for VJ to become a member of the rider program #truckingkitty #kittydiaries on FB and Insta 
shout-out but doing so in a quiet manner 
reunited and it feels so goodā:notes: just as quickly as I slipped into The Lovely Depression did I come out of itā¦ I have my child I have my man and I couldnāt be happierā¦ Til we had to go North and the altitude saying quietly as to not wake the monster named Altitude stricken me to the coreā¦ Thatās another story in itself 
My mind kept wondering off into this fantasy land of mystery and wonder that I found myself Googling The Magiqverse again I havenāt ever been this obsessed over anything in life LIKE EVER 
I drove head first into this magically mystical mind of the brilliant CJ Bernsteinā¦ I canāt put this down I have continued to loose track of time and experiences of memory loss as I have gotten to know the forum so well I have decided to stay thereā¦ I like it thereā¦ Itās like hey there are like my people yoā¦ I think imma finally find a place I can call my āinterwebs homeā so to speakā¦ I must learn how to keep myself in check with the reality of my surroundings just enough to get by til Iām completely satisfiedā¦ Hints to that will be a very long time maybe more than two years I predict as I see others have mentioned they are still lost and being members of this āsecret societyā gangā¦ Ok Pam u can calm down nowā¦ NOT REALLY IM SUPER STOKED TO BE HEREā¦
BRING IT IN FOR A BIG OLE HUG FAMā¦ I am a proud member of the Ebenguardā¦ Or if I were to speak politically correct Marentide with the affinity Pendulancyā¦
Good day mates I canāt wait to drive in again now that Iāve done my fantabulous introā¦ Itās nice to meet yous guys as I graduate up the ladder of knowing all things
Chelly or Chell whatever u are happy calling me

Hello everybody!
Iām new here and excited to get started. Iām Shrike, a name I chose in homage to my favorite science fiction novel (meaningless internet points to anybody who knows the reference). I actually went through The Guide about 8 months ago but didnāt take the next step until just now. Before joining the forum today I went back through The Guide and both times Iāve done so Iāve been a Thornmouth. So I suppose thatās accurate!
In the physical world Iām a veterinarian by day and . . . also by night lately. When I actually have free time I love reading (of course) and board games. Iām looking forward to becoming more familiar with this universe!

Hi all- Iām Bee. Iām a floral designer and illustrator who loves raising snails and butterflies and collects bones and books. I play violin and cello, travel often, and one of my favorite pastimes is collecting stories and secrets from people I meet on my path through life.
I came across AG on the recommendation of a dear friend and was sorted into Weatherwatch.
I donāt know much about this community but I am very excited to get involved.

Hi there everyone! Iām currently reading TMP1, and the assessment placed me in Weatherwatch. I am a biomedical scientist (specializing in neuroscience - my username is a play on the type of cells I study 
), but I am also a HUGE bookworm. I havenāt participated in a forum in about 15 years, but I am in love with the idea of readers shaping the narrative of this story, and Iām very excited to get involved!
