   The first RPG I played was Final Fantasy IV (then known as Final Fantasy II to us living in the West). Needless to say, the game blew my mind and I instantly fell in love with RPGs. I remember, one time, I had decided to write a novelization of the game. Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of it (not sure I'd want it either. I was so young then, my writing must have been terrible). What a terrific game, though. Till this day no other game has been able to best its ending. It helps to have a brother, though, to really feel the ending for what it is.

   So I've been a fan of RPGs for a long time now. Besides playing them, I also made them in the good ol'(slightly illegal) community of RPG Maker. Good community, I'm still a part of it somewhat. I made a game called Zephyrus and the Kingdom of Heaven, which probably cannot be found anywhere since I don't have a link for it up (so sorry). The game was supposed to be three parts, I only made the one. Why? I wanted to write it and publish it instead. It was mostly story anyway, which is probably why I love RPGs as much as I do since they're the genre in the game community that has the strongest of stories. 

   But besides playing RPGs, I love to read (and, of course, write). My favourite author is Michael Moorcock (bad last name. You can just imagine the looks I get at Chapters when I say it). The books are hard to find, at least in Canada. So one day I went on what I call a "Moorcock-hunt" (now that sounds wrong) and I bought all his books. Every single one. I even have two copies of some of them. I'm his biggest fan, believe it. I remember reading Corum when I was young (I originally picked it up because of Amano's cover drawings and thought--oh! Final Fantasy!). The book was fantastic. The best thing about his books is that you, as the reader, just cannot expect what is going to happen. You just can't, Moorcock will always surprise you. I definitely recommend him.

   And that's it (severely condensed, of course). Drop me a line on IRC or send me an email if you want to chat or hear more of my life stories.
