Hello all!
I've been reading the comics since this fall, but today's update plus school work forced me out of my lurking.
I'm Tuuri's age, and live in one of the coldest regions of the US. I'm studying getting my bachelors in History, along with minors in Sociology and Chinese. I'm obsessed with traveling, and attempting new languages. I love video games and sports too. INFP. Not sure what else to say.
Excited to get to know you all! \o/
Although I'll probably revert back to lurking depending on how much school work tries to kill me.

Yes, welcome to katelion, D. Weg, Adrai Thell, and the rest.  So exciting to greet all these newcomers!

As an incentive to contribute, when you reach 100 posts you'll become Safe-Zone Citizens.  This prestigious title is conferred in a glittering ceremony every few weeks in our Fan-Forum Member Lounge.  Cake and coffee are served in true Swedish fika style (along with adult beverages). 

At higher ranks, you can earn Scout whistles (or small, sharp tools) and Ranger spotter-scopes.  Reach 1,000 posts and *you* can become the Ruler of your very own Derelict Airport.  Yes. 

Someday, if and when we ever reach the point of real, face-to-face meetups, the cake and coffee will become tangible things.  Derelict airports... that's up to you. 

Y'all stick around now, you hear?

Hi!  I'm Inspector Wallander!  (No, I'm not from Ystad, silly!)

Sorry it took me so long to introduce myself!  I've kind of been busy hanign out in the SSSS section.

I am from Wisconsin in the United States, I am of German, Irish, and Norwegian descent.

I can speak English and have a smattering of German that I have mostly forgotten.

I work in a public library.

I discovered SSSS through an article on io9 early in December.  I binge-read the comic in one day and have been hooked ever since.

If you have any other questions, I will take them at this time.

Hello! I'm RomanNumeralII, but you can call me Evan or Roman. I've been a huge fan of SSSS for a few months now, and finally got around to making an account here after introducing the comic to all of my friends. I'm 19 and I live in the USA in Virginia, where I grew up and am now attending college. I love worldbuilding, languages, RPGs (both tabletop and computer RPGs), conlanging, and computers (I'm double majoring in Computer Science and Linguistics). I speak English natively, and have taken five years of German and two years of Arabic. I really need to brush up on German since I haven't had a chance to take any German classes in almost two years now. I really want to learn Russian, Mandarin, and any and all of the Nordic languages, which I hope to do as soon as I can get an opportunity to. I feel like I'm forgetting to mention something, but oh well, this seems like a decent enough introduction!

Welcome, Roman! I'm from Virginia too, though I'm out of state or college. Dunno if I've ever met another Virginian on the internet, heh :)

Hi! I’m Knokturn! (just a silly nickname). I started Reading SSSS last fall, after I found it while re-reading A Redtail’s Dream, but I hadn’t thought about registering here until now (or dared to do it).
I’m a Spanish 19 year old girl, currently studying a Criminology degree, and Swedish at an academy. Also I’m quite fluent in English, and understand French and Italian. My passions are reading and writing, music, travelling, videogames, and water sports.
Not sure what else say, just that I’m excited to be here and that I’ll try to be active! :D

Hallo.

I'm Albrand, 25 years of age and a Combat Medic in the U.S. Army. My interests outside of work include Western Martial Arts/Historical European Martial Arts, with which I'm no master nor anything to scoff at either. Reading, writing some (admittedly poorly), and any number of sundry nerdy hobbies also included.

Joining this forum after making a few comments on the comment board, figured to throw my hat in.

Welcome, Albrand!  (And thanks for your service.  We'll look to you for commentary on Mikkel's work and other military issues.)

I'm glad you spelled out what WMA and HEMA stand for.  Those terms kept showing up in posts I was copying to the Forum... and now I know why!

See you 'round the SSSS fandom.
