http://fissure.forumandco.com/character-journals-f8/-t1.htm Journals give our characters a chance to speak in their own voices, and to build their personal histories and relationships. Some journals can be published and posted on the website while others will be kept here for our own use.

Some of what I write I learned from my long association with Margaret Donnelly (better known as KoHama niD’ni), but the rest is from my own experience. I will start with the history that precedes my arrival in the area. The story of the FoF Order begins with Richard Donnelly, born 1907 in Philadelphia, PA. At the age of 20 he started his higher education at the University ...

I can't tell you where she's from. She will only say, "On the journey, it only matters where you're going. Where you have been is in the past." When asked about her family, she only says, "D'ni and the Least are my family." She has very little to say on anything. Most of the time she won't speak at all. I feel as if I'm her closest friend, and she rarely speaks to ...

My full name is Elpis Danae Frietag. My namesake is the spirit of hope who clung to the inside of Pandora's Box when it was opened, refusing to leave mankind. In that same spirit, I remain in the cavern and other ages, forever remembering the words of Yeesha and Yahvo as an inspiration of hope that all will not be lost. There is destruction coming. Yeesha made that clear in her first speech to us at the cleft. But she gave us words of hope; we will find what we're looking for ...

Loves working with his hands. Not muscular in the way of working out, but has strong solid muscles because of hard work. Strong healthy constitution. Rarely gets even a sniffle. A nature man. A man who believes in healthy living. And he's a vegetarian. Not strict, because he'll eat eggs and cheese, but avoids meats. He loves ...
