[hider=Brent Young] "Nice to meet you as well, I guess. My name is Brent Young, put I'm used to people referring to me by my online name, 'Green Knight'." "I'm 22, if that's important." "... Don't see how that's relevant, but I think I like girls. I never liked a real girl though. I'm more into the female characters in my games to be honest." (He's straight, but thanks to a lack of female interaction throughout his youth, he is mostly attracted to female game and anime characters. He may develop romantic feeling for a real woman (maybe even a man), however, if he spends extended periods of time with them.) "Man."

"People have called me brutal, but I like to think they meant brutally efficient. I always try to be as efficient as possible, diligently working on a task until I finish it. I'm not... I wouldn't say I'm a very good people person. That's probably why I don't work customer support, lol. I like to call myself a realist - I've never really tried hoping for miracles or doing things that waste energy. But most of all, I believe that I'm loyal - I've never left a guild on my own, and I'm always the first person to take a role that no one else wants to. After all, if I do the job no one else wants to, things will go more smoothly. I could be called a team player, but I honestly do it for myself. I like to start things as early as possible, and don't want to be slowed down by trivial things I can solve by taking them into my own hands." "I'm 5'11 and weigh 160 lbs, but I don't see why this matters." "If you couldn't tell from my online name, it's Green." "Well, I'm honestly okay with pretty much anyone. The characters I like are pretty different, but I guess they share a couple traits. I don't like people who are mean or rude, and shorter 'girly-girls' are usually my type. But, uh... Are you coming on to me?" "... I... I hallucinate sometimes. Psychologist said it was triggered by 'stress', but I'm pretty sure he was pulling that out of his ass. It happens at random, but mostly happens when I stay idle... Sometimes it's pretty normal, like shadows in the corner of my eyes, but other times... I don't really feel comfortable talking about it. The hallucinations seem to affect all of my senses, but they only rarely happen as long as I'm busy... As long as I keep working, they don't come as often... Don't tell anyone, I'm not getting sent to a mental ward." "I like third-person shooters and MMOs, but my favorite genres are Visual Novels and JRPGs. JRPGs especially, they keep me busy grinding and not focusing on my... 'condition'." "Alright. I'm going to give you the abridged version, since I don't want to spend the next couple hours writing up my life story. My dad raised me for as long as I can remember, I'm an only child, and my mom was apparently a drug addict my social worker father tried to help. Nobody knows where she is now, and I honestly don't really care. I grew up pretty normal all things considered. I was home schooled, and my grades weren't the best, but dad was proud of me at least. He got me a computer at 8, and he was even the person that introduced me to games and anime. Every night we finished dinner we would always clean up as quick as possible, before racing to our PCs and duking it out in some game. We argue a lot over the stupidest stuff, like what games were better than their competition, or the message that people put into their games and movies (I don't care what he says, "Magical Girl Cooking Conquest" is a series with deep themes about religion and the human spirit). My life continued with this sort of melancholy, until I got into an... accident at the age of 17. I had just got my learners, and was driving down the road at... 2 AM? It's hard to remember. Moral is, I was pretty tired at the time, and didn't notice the truck that was speeding down the opposing lane. I continued, not noticing him refuse to halt for the red light. He probably thought he could run it since there was only a few people around, and my headlights were off... Next thing I remember, I was blind in a hospital bed. I could only panic briefly before the doctor managed to explain it to me though - I was in a horrible car accident, and was almost certainly going to die. My only option was an experimental surgery using nano machines, which mt father hastily agreed to. I made a nearly miraculous recovery, and with only temporary blindness as my eyes recovered. Grateful thatmy lack of eyesight was only gone for a few days, I spent most of my time listening to the news - Oil running extremly low, some advancements in solar energy, people crying about the state of the world. Same as always. When the bandages came off, everything was made of bubbles... Not joking, it was like the entire room was made of soap bubbles, even the features on the doctor's face. I made sure not to let anyone know what I saw - I knew that they would lock me up in a crazy person's hospital, they'd use me as a guinea pig to figure out what went wrong with their surgery. I wasn't going to let that happen. I was kept in the hospital for the next few days, and slowly, my hallucinations became more distorted. I saw the world as vines, flesh, candy, some TRON-style hologram, and as time went on, more of my senses seemed to be affected. When I looked it up later, it seemed that sight played an integral role in interpreting the other senses. I never told a soul, and my strange behavior at random times caused me to get sent to a psychologist. I lied about my problem, only saying that I sometimes saw things that weren't there, to which he simply responded 'stress'. Guy is a total hack... Anyways, I quickly learned how to avoid my disorder - When I'm busy, it rarely happens. Hell, I can probably count the number of times it happened while I was focusing on one hand. So, I became more productive. My grades quickly improved as studying was a more attractive option than seeing non-existent spiders crawl from my toilet and chase me. I quickly progressed in my gaming, and I even have a pretty big reputation on some of the MMOs I play. Despite everything I did, however, nights were always godawful. I just had to try and sleep, even when I feel something rub against my face in an empty room. Anyways, I eventually 'graduated' my home schooling, and dad used his connections to get me a pretty comfy job as an insurance agent. I have to talk to clients sometimes, but besides that, I enjoy it. I moved out at 20, and started saving money - after all, I wanted to retire young and spend my time gaming. I had mostly gotten comfortable with my condition, but sleep was still hell. Eventually, I found your email, and I decided to take a look after seeing you describe your game." "I'm able to work on nearly anything, no matter how mind numbing, for hours on end. Additionally, I'm able to maximize efficiency of things pretty easily. Management games, while not very fun, are incredibly easy for me thanks to this. Finally, I have a basic knowledge of human physiology and a proficient understanding of psychology thanks to years of studying possible causes for my condition." "I don't feel comfortable telling you, but hey, I already told you my biggest secret. I have an extremely hard time communicating with other people directly. I can talk over voice chat and stuff, but looking them face-to-face ain't happening. Additionally, I'm almost always extremely tired from lack of sleep and insomnia. I'm pretty afraid of the dark, but most of all, I'm terrified of my condition worsening. I've seen some god awful stuff, and the longest time an episode has gone on was just over 15 hours... If I have to go through something like that for even longer, I'm not sure if I could take it. I'm not used to creative thinking, however, and strategy games aren't my cup of tea." "Usually healer, since no one wants to play them. If not healer, tank is also pretty common." "I'm looking to just have some fun. My life is all work, and I want to try and cut loose a little bit. If I can help someone do a study while doing that, so be it." [/hider]
