A gamer from upstate New York.

BSoZ
I'm part of a very small guild called Bastahd Sons of Zeus [BSoZ]. We started as a group of four friends, and extended our guild out to other friends. The guild was created by my brother-in-law. The name and guild colors (Black, Purple and Silver) come from his intramural football team many years ago.

We're a helping guild. We will work with people to get tasks completed, or even give the occasional supplies. I extend my help to complete strangers every now and then. Most notably I will take people to places like Piken Square from Old Ascalon for free. I will especially do this if people are spamming the channel with offers to run people there for a ton of gold. That's just not right. The walk there doesn't merit a 1k+ price tag. I'll take people for free out of spite.

Every once in a great while I'll pick on people in-game. There's nothing serious about it. I have two major pet peeves: abbreviation speak and beggars.
 * Lazy People: Just take the extra few seconds to type out words like "see" "you" and "later" or - the one that makes me crazy the most - ppl = people.
 * Beggars: A few minutes playing the game will yield anyone some cash. Instead these people sit in an outpost for hours yelling "I need x gold!". This really pisses me off, and I tend to go off on them.

This is my first character. I even made him during the free preview event the Halloween before the game came out. The character name has always been used for a Wizard or spell caster in many games I've played. I made the name up for a story I have been writing and refining since 1988 that will eventually be a cartoon.

I've been trying to refine new builds, copying some here on the wiki and changing the attribute to another element. I have a nice Dual Attunement Earth based on the Dual Attunement Air Spiker.

Stephan was my second character. It was the first "Fighter" style character I have ever played, and I wasn't all too comfortable with it. Something about being an up-close fighter wasn't quite right for the guy who has always been a mage. He is currently my storage/mule character. I made the name up for the same story I have been writing and refining since 1988.

My fourth character. I made her for the Factions Preview event and wasn't impressed with the class. When I bought Factions, I tried her some more and didn't like it still. I deleted her, made her a Mesmer and played through to Kaineng Center. It was about this time I made Rebecca. I soon deleted the Mesmer Keiko and made another Ritualist. When I remade her, two of my guildmates had Factions and both made Assassins, so I wanted something different but still used the new classes.

Her name comes from a standard Japanese girl's name (Keiko) and, from what I've been told, the Japanese word for butterfly (Hotaru).

Rebecca is my fifth character. She was the Prophecies Mesmer I should have made a long time ago. I have recently started using the Virulence Spiker build and find that it's AWESOME.

The name of this character comes from a girl I knew in middle/high school, and the street from my childhood.

My sixth character. Again the other guys in my guild chose Dervish, so I took Paragon. I like this class as it's like a Warrior with ranged skills.

The name is from James Earl Jones' character in Coming To America.

Cassandra was my third character. Her only purpose was to help people in Pre-Searing. I could guide people through the entire pre-searing Ascalon without even looking at a map, before they made the update to put zone names on it. This skill was handy back then, but after that update my freakish talent wasn't needed. She was deleted soon after my last friend made it into Post-Searing Ascalon.

I made the name up for story I have been writing and refining since 1988.

I love pre-searing and I may create this character again just to run around in it.
