I am flippant, erudite, and an octopus.
My Self-Summary
I was born in the year of the water boar. I'm a Leo. Someone once
told me that my rising something sign concerns Gemini. Apparently
I'm a Dragon Warrior according to the Mayan calendar. I'm not sure
what that means. I don't put much stock in astrology.
Two-year-olds tell me that I'm little, like them. That's pretty
sweet.
I'm named after my grandfathers, and I'm the only member on either
side of my family that is. I never knew either of them. I have a
belt buckle with my name on it that belonged to my father's father.
It probably makes me look like an ass to wear it, but I like it
anyway.
I'm synesthetic. It's a lot like a superpower.
I still think small talk leads to big talk, so I support them
mutually for the primary sake of the latter.
I've been sincerely referred to as a faerie in quite possibly every
single sense of the word. Terms and uses may apply.
I look like a goblin. I feel okay about that because of the
Labyrinth.
I spend too much time writing in public places that sell
coffee.
I think I like books more than people.
I moved 14 times before I was 12. This has probably had a large
impact on my psyche.
I'm trying to get all my jobs mastered so I can get 100% S ranks
all the way before I beat life.
All your base are belong to us.
What I’m doing with my life
When I was little, my town was razed to the ground. After the
troops found me, I was reared by the Emperor to lead his army. I've
since escaped and have joined the resistance.
Since the accident, I've been on the run. I have to keep running,
because the Empire's after me. But really, I'm just scared that the
incredible powers I've found might hurt my loved ones that I
struggle to remember what with the amnesia and everything.
Because I'm a super scientist, I'm designing schematics for an
airship. Once it's complete I'm going to purchase an abandoned
missile silo outside of Denver and convert it into a castle of
metal trees to anchor my vessel. Then I'll build a really windy
road around it and put on my helmet, you know the one with the
white X on the face, and drive at foolheardy speeds yelling "SPEED,
SPEED."
It hurts me inside that I can't tell him he's my brother. Well, it
would hurt, assuming I could remember my family.
I’m really good at
Wild west showdowns, ninja assassinations, drinking scotch,
laughing voraciously, walking through Shadow, and turning
racquetball games into recreations of the Dragon Riders of Pern.
The first things people usually notice about me
Earrings, apparently, are a huge deal for men in Korea.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
The Little Prince, the Tao Te Ching, the Chuang Tzu, The Chronicles
of Amber, Paradise Kiss, The Martian Chronicles, The Illustrated
Man, Something Wicked This Way Comes, the Alchemist, the Demon
Ororon, American Gods, Anansi Boys, Neverwhere, The Blue Girl,
Lamb, A Dirty Job, Jitterbug Perfume, Human All Too Human, A Brief

Doors of His Face,
the Lamps of His Mouth, Treasure Island, A People's History of the
United States, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, Hitchhikers'
Guide to the Galaxy, A Wrinkle in Time.
I love anything by Ray Bradbury or Neil Gaiman. I like reading
books on science. I collect holy books from around the world, and
then stand them to face one another to see if they'll maybe get
something figured out.
To keep this to a minimum, the highest ranked movies include
Kung Fu Hustle,
Finding Neverland, Peter Pan, The Fountain, Paprika, Tampopo, The
Crow, Attack the Gasstation, Labyrinth, Dark City, Iron Man, Howl's
Moving Castle, Versus, Casshern, Sin City, Kill Bill, The Dark
Crystal, AKIRA, Spirited Away, The Secret of NIMH, Moon Child,
X-Men [I&II], The Life Aquatic, Stargate, Wild Zero, Dead Man,
Identity, the Limey, Army of Darkness, Serenity - And pretty much
anything with
zombies in it.
I'm bad with favorites because I just kind of like everything. I
think that means I have poor taste, assuming critics have any
validity.

I will eat almost anything. My favorite food is tasty food, and my
opinion on what is tasty changes by the hour.
The six things I could never do without
I don't know, I could probably do without a lot of things. Some
things I could definitely do without include stab wounds, a
lobotomy, cancer, people who talk in the movies, animals in the
road when I'm driving, and maybe John Carpenter's Vampires. That
movie was really just terrible.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
How I can analogue and chronicle the events of my life in fantastic
ways. Actually, all I really think about are stories.
That and how to stay in school for the rest of my life. I'm
collecting degrees, and I'm never going to stop.
On a typical Friday night I am
I really never know what day of the week it is, so I am
ill-prepared to adequately answer this question. I do need regular
upgrades for my armor however, so if you need me on a typical
Friday, you can always try me down at the lab.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
Nothing I've said here is complete fabrication.
You should message me if
You are a superhero or possibly one of the Warriors of Light and
are looking for potential additions to your party.
