About Me

Well for starters my name is Ross, I'm 20, single, and a total nerd. I'm about 6'1" with short black hair (it was long not too long ago). I am a pretty easy-going guy who likes to have a lot of fun and enjoy life. I really enjoy hanging out with friends, playing billards and other games including Risk and Axis & Allies. In fact, my friends and I enjoy Risk so much that we actually made a 5 x 9 foot Risk board. Yeah...We have a lot of time on our hands. I am also a big time gamer, console and PC, and am currently involved with the Space Combat mod team for the game Battlefield 2. I also enjoy boffering. For those that don't know, boffering is basically making duct tape weapons and armor out of pvc pipe, duct tape, pipe insulation, and card board and then proceeding to beat the crap out of eachother. Think fencing taken to an extreme. I also enjoy reading comic books, serious books, historical books, sci-fi books, and of couse scientific books. I really enjoy "What If?" style things too. Speculation into alternate history if some event hadn't happened or happened differently has always captivated me for some reason. Another strong passion of mine is photoshopping. I love to photoshop abstract art, touch up photos, web pages, or just screw around with the program. When not reading, playing games, photoshopping, or weight lifting, I cruise around in an electric lime green Jeep or an old 1945 Willys Overland Jeep that I restored for my Senior Project. I am a big time Jeeper and love to just go joy riding down to the local 7-11, grab a slurpee, and just cruise around town or hit the comic book shop.

I Am A: Chaotic Neutral Human Fighter Paladin
Alignment:
Chaotic Neutral characters are unstable, and frequently insane. They believe in disorder first and foremost, and will thus strive for that disorder in everything they do. This means that they will do whatever seems 'fun' or 'novel' at any given time.
Race:
Humans are the 'average' race. They have the shortest life spans, and because of this, they tend to avoid the racial prejudices that other races are known for. They are also very curious and tend to live 'for the moment'.
Primary Class:
Fighters are the warriors. They use weapons to accomplish their goals. This isn't to say that they aren't intelligent, but that they do, in fact, believe that violence is frequently the answer.
Secondary Class:
Paladins are the Holy Warriors. They have been chosen by a God/dess to be their representative on Earth, and must follow the code of that deity, or risk severe penalties. They tend towards being righteous, but not generally to excess.
Deity:
Tempus is the Chaotic Neutral god of war. He is also known as the Lord of Battle and the Foehammer. His followers believe in the glory and joy of battle, and are never far from it. They typically wear battered armor, and carry a variety of weapons, but do not use missile weapons. Tempus's symbol is a flaming sword.

I have walked the edge of the Abyss.
I have governed the unwilling.
I have witnessed countless empires break before me.
I have seen the most courageous soldiers fall away in fear.
[I was there with the Angel at the tomb]
I have seen your future.
And I have learned.
There will be no more Sadness. No more Anger. No more Envy.
I HAVE WON.
Oh, and your poet Eliot had it all wrong:
THIS is the way the world ends.
-Cortana. Feb 16, 1999.
I have Defied Gods and Demons...
I am your shield...
I AM your sword...
I know you... your past, your future...
This is the way the the world ends.
FINISH THE FIGHT
2007
In eighteen-hundred-one the Revolution had been won
And Uncle Sam’s favourite son had a job he needed done
Which brought Jack to a lady, both beautiful and smart
Who found his mix intriguing—a scoundrel with a heart!
From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli
There was never a leatherneck braver, a Daring Dragoon is he
He’ll halt the bold advance of Napoleon’s attack
There ain’t a French or pirate rogue who don’t know Jack!
From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli
Sailin’ round the bloody world to defend democracy
And when ya need a fightin’ man ya’d trust to watch yer back
Just ask the bloke right next ta ya—it’s… Jack!
