Current Projects/Freelance work

  • I am a voice talent and script writer for Faerun History
  • I have a much smaller personal Youtube channel that I use to make videos on various subjects. Only been making videos for 2 years, but it's growing!
  • I'm the host of a Science Fiction & Fantasy Podcast where I interview authors of the genre.




Interests (Includes but is not limited to)

  • Writing/Reading (Love writing and I own too many books)
  • Video Games (Been a gamer for close to 23 years now)
  • Working Out/Martial Arts (Wing Chun/Oyama Karate mostly. Some historical swordplay as well.)
  • History (Military History is my specialty)
  • Zoology
  • Art (Mostly Illustrations. Used to be good. Am picking it back up)
  • Voice Acting/Singing
  • Tabletop Gaming (Started late in the game. Been at it for 3 years. I was the kid who bought the monster manuals and D&D books just for the lore for the longest time. I've played 3.5e, 5e, Star Wars D20, Edge of the Empire, PF, and PF2.)
  • Weaponry of all kinds
  • Anime (mostly action/shonen. DBZ & YYH being my favorites)
  • Movies (Action/War/Drama films being my go-to)
  • Music (Rock of all kinds, as well as historical folk songs, sea shanties, pub songs, a bit of classical music, etc)
  • Guitar (am learning to play, but being left handed makes it challenging)
  • There's more but if you care enough you can PM me :P




Roleplay F.A.Q.

  • Fantasy, Sci Fi, and Historical are my genres. Fantasy being my favorite and Sci Fi/Historical being close seconds.
  • Advanced / Nation / 1x1 / Casual (only in certain circumstances)
  • I generally write at the 'Advanced Level' meaning 4+ Paragraphs with good grammar.
  • I am usually busy with many projects and RPs, but if you wish to do a 1x1 with me, you'll need to present your case. Those I already do it with have my trust as a Roleplayer.
  • I love many, many fictional universes so me trying to list them all is an effort in futility!

@Siaya Dragalorn Oh yeah, that's totally fine! He doesn't really know what she is. Though as he's been secluded in the forest, he might not have even heard they were deemed extinct haha.
Look fellas. Even assuming the Puerto Ricans forgot to look under the sofa cushions for Trump's aid, isn't it kind of questionable he would pat himself of the back when people are still coping with what happened?
Why do I even associate with you!

Wait, we can work this out

To be honest, I don't even recall hearing about the book before. There's a lot of names to remember in the book if wikipedia is any credible source. It says Kvothe is a title?
@0 Azzy 0 What's your opinion on the book? I kinda want a discussion tbh.
It helps most of us have read the same/similar shit! @0 Azzy 0

Though I've not read The Name of the Wind. I'll add one of my own, however.


The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks, and the series of books that follow. The first book was published in 1977. I started this series in 10th grade and really started to love it. It's the series that convinced contemporary media that fantasy books had a real shot in being a major genre in literature. There's a lot of similarities in the book to Lord of the Rings, but it's very different in a lot of ways and the following two books in the initial trilogy are quite different. I'll say the 2nd book The Elfstones of Shannara is my favorite, actually. It has unlikely heroes with unlikely magic, a demon army and an implacable demon assassin fighting Elven rangers, edltritch creatures, and it also has a cool gypsy too.

The setting is a post apocalyptic world. Thousands of years before the current day, magic was awake and alive in our world, and the world was populated by various races and magical beasts. But as the younger race of man grew strong, the other races waned and magic fell asleep, turning into legend. Only the Elves survived, secluded and small in number in the deeper forests of the world. We grew technologically advanced, reaching lifespans of 150 years at least and traveling across planets, making advanced AI war machines to fight our wars. But one day, the last war of the world ended in 3 moments, nuclear warheads shattering the world and driving the human race close to extinction. Continents shifted, and humanity evolved into subraces.

The humans in the North transformed into Trolls from the radiation and rocky terrain. The east had humans who traveled underground and lived in swamps, evolving into Dwarves and Gnomes. The West, Elves returned from their seclusion and grew in number again, magic returning to the world. In the Southlands, the last untainted humans made their home. This led to a world full of magical beasts warped with lost technology, spirits and demons returning within the ruins of the ancient human civilization. It's very well written with a great setting. I have the companion for this series too, though I've only read 6 books out of the 18+ that have been written.

The first book, the one I mentioned, is about a Warlock Lord returning to create another world war of the races. Two unlikely young men with elven blood need to seek the Sword of Shannara to slay him, and they get caught in the midst of the returning war and the intrigue that follows. They're protected by a prince from the small highland Kingdom of Leah, and they're guided by Gandalf-expy Allanon, though I will say Allanon is really badass in his own right.

The series has a really cool take on Dwarves, making them forest loving guerilla fighters and gardeners. After they had emerged from their caves when the world was habitable again, they resolved never to be without the open sky and the natural world again, shunning the underground. Though if memory serves they're still good smiths.
It's just
SAD
I heard Trump gives himself 10 out of 10 on his aid response to Puerto Rico's plight.
As someone who lives in Alabama, I see people with that face and those ideals all of the time.
We're in a collab.
