It doesn't seem anyone's asked you... Which characters did you get seriously invested in? What are your favorite spinoffs?
And my gift to you is a nonexistent turquoise feather. I suspect you will be able to make good use of it. :)
Well, Hi guys, and girls, and other, and square bracket insert preferred form of appellation square bracket!
I've been lurking around here and the wiki for about half a year, give or take, after discovering the PPC through TV Tropes and seriously getting investested with the characters of some of the stories.
I've already read the constitution and am currently in the middle of the original series.
Normally I'd say something like, "Come on in, grab a seat by the fire, set your sanity by the door," but as I'm four days late you've probably already figured all that out.
Anyway, here's a Replica Holocron and a Steampunk airship as your newbie gifts. And yes, I do mean an entire airship. Full size. Don't worry, the hangar's paid up until the end of the century, so you've got plenty of time to find a crew for it.
Oh, one more thing, what House are you in?
Wait, I think I know what you mean. Haven't really talked to it for quite some time, but I think I might have seen it on the horizon the other day. It's not important, is it?
Anyway, thanks for the airship. Concerning the House, Pottermore sorted me into Hufflepuff, but personally I think that I'm more of a Ravenclaw.
Especially not here.
Well, my loyalty to Hufflepuff House wants me to convince you to stay, but given that Pottermore sorted me into Slytherin three times before it got the right House, I can't really blame you for disagreeing with its assessment.

Please have a pot of black-hole coffee, and a good stay, here in the madhouse.
This magic shovel digs up...
OHMYGOD SHINY OwO
... uh, right, it digs up gems.
Glad you found your way to us. Here are three bottles of Bleeprin (trust me, you'll need it) and some popcorn to eat while you finish reading the Original Series and whichever spinoffs strike your fancy! :)
Cyan here, to welcome the first newbie of the day! Have a compilation of SBaHJ comics! It's .jpeg-tastic!
Welcome, welcome! Make yourself comfortable and have a slice of Infinite Pizza!
Welcome, Akrinor, High Ruler of the Garbazions of Zognon 4. We, at the PPC, salute your most-high presence on our most insignificant planet of earth.
We present to you, our most holy artefact: a telly-vish-on ray-mote. It produces telepathic beams, allowing you to communicate mentally with our telly-vish-on technology, with naught but the press of a button!
Welcome, High Ruler!
Here, have this best hamster, and a nice bit of music.
Have a disappearing kitten!
Have one of my own shed feathers, a pen that turns into a celestial bronze sword, and a Golden Snitch with a Poke Ball engraving!
I hope you enjoy your time acknowledged by the rest of The Board! Here's a Coppermind, to store all the memories you'll make here. Otherwise, what are your preferred pronouns? I'm never sure what to call people here. I'll see you around, I guess.
*Hides Frozen Claymore*
I use male pronouns, however I have no problems with people using the singular they or any kind of gender-neutral pronouns when referring to me.
Hello, and welcome aBoard! For your newbie gift, take this plate of freshly-made SPaGhetti!
You've answered my usual questions, so I'll just say I hope you like it here. :)
Thank you! *sniffs, then starts eating* Mmmh, tasty.
Hope ya have fun here!
For my newbie gift, I present to you an urple ocarina, complete with wilver earmuffs to block out the noise. =]
May I ask what your fandoms are? I'm into LotR, Narnia, Worm, and quite a few others.

Okay, now I know what the earmuffs are for, at least until I have practised a lot more.
As for fandoms, there are quite few. Reelatively high on my list are probably Harry Potter, PJO and HoO, Discworld, and the Mirrorworld cycle by Cornelia Funke. I do like LotR, although it's been far too long (let's see... woah, must've been around ten tears already *grins in embarrassment*) since I've really reread more than just a couple chapters at a time.
Quite a few HP and PJO fans around here (myself among them), as well as HoO and most definitely Discworld.
Mind if I ask where you got your name? Boarder name history is a hobby of mine. =D Mine is from this series, one of my favorites.

I'll try to start at the beginning: I'm currently doing what could be called a 'volunteer-year' (except it's actually 15 months) in EMS.
Then, about a week ago I stumbled accross the awesome webcomic Rain, where I saw a user named Haldo in the comment section. His name reminded of a drug called Haldol, and I pretty much thought, 'Hm, using medications as an inspiration for names does sound like an interesting idea.' And so I ended up with Akrinor, a drug used to treat a low blood pressure.
