If we didn't, we wouldn't enjoy eating your loved ones or overthrowing your governments nearly so much, or at all, depending on how you define "feelings."
Anyway, hi ^_^ I'm your not-so-friendly villain, whether I'm the sniveling sycophantic henchman, or the friend you'll wish you'd never met, or the teacher you'll never quite forget. I'll be ever in all of your shadows, never quite there when you look, but ever present nonetheless. As if all that were not enough, I will always, always be the premium French-lover in this extremely British series >=)
Whatever form of the tricolour shadow I choose to take, there will always be one constant to me: My manifestations will all be rats. White rats, brown rats, searats, or even Short-footed Luzon Greater Dwarf Cloud Rats (which aren't actually rats, but Murinaen anomalies somewhere between mice and rats), I don't care what they are, so long as they are rat-like.
Which actually brings me to something of a random, but I think interesting question. Ok, so Lupine describes something with wolf-like qualities. Vulpine describes something with fox-like qualities, and ursine describes something with bear-like qualities. Now, all of these come from their Latin roots (Ursus, Vulpus, and Lupus). Now, the Latin root for rat is, surprise surprise, "rattus." Now, I'm fairly sure that rattine is not a word. However, is anyone familiar with a similar word that would have basically the same meaning? I get so tired of the compound "rat-like..."
Anyway, in all seriousness, this is an awesome forum, and I'm glad I've found it. I look forward to making many friends, playing a few games, and so forth. If you want to talk for whatever reason, I'm available on AIM at azurefox22@yahoo.com (I know, it's an email, not a s/n, but I didn't really understand the whole "Screen name" concept when I made the account).
So, watch your back everyone!

I'm the person who likes to try and be amusing and usually fails. 
Ya' can call me Wildrun, and if my characters annoy you, don't worry--they annoy everyone. -.-"
