The Beginning
I had bought Guild Wars in May or June of 2005, I believe. I remember starting to become interested in NWN PWs around the same. I had started my first character, Verse Lightbringer, a Warrior, and got him to level 5, but was a little unfamiliar with salvaging, IDing, and so forth. So, I went back to what I knew best, playing NWN and RPing.

The Guild Wars case became dusty through the months I played on a NWN PW. Made some friends, became a trusted and valued member of the PW, and had a blast. It would so happen that this good thing did not last and I decided that it was not the place for me. Before that, however, I met a woman who I eventually fell in love with, and she had talked about Guild Wars. That she played it and was in a very mature and friendly guild. Seemed that I was destined to play the game, whether I understood it or not.

I had told her I had bought the game some time ago and had made a character. She asked if I was pre or post, and when I said "what?", she laughed at me. Seemed there was more to learn than I had once thought. So, I started a new character, Gares Resdstorm, and began to play Guild Wars once again. Being the kind woman she is, she answered my questions or with the help of her other guildmates. now mine as well, got the answers for me. I quickly learned and became a decent player with Gares, my W/Mo. I had deleted the past(Verse) and created the future(Gares). This was my beginning and I see no signs of the ending yet.

The Here and Now
Almost a year I have been playing Guild Wars. I have became an officer of my guild, Elite Danger Society(EDS), a mainly PvE guild. I have even become the webmaster of the EDS website. I have a passion for creating new builds(I have about 20-some unique builds on paper and have started creating builds for the Ritualist and Assassin classes. I also enjoy exploring as my Gares has uncovered every piece of land I could. There is some great scenery out there, you just have to look for it. :D

My hobbies away from GW vary, from playing Dragon Quest 8, to being the lead scriptor for a new Persistant World coming out for NWN 2, to having the love of a very special woman. Its all about the fun things in life, just as Dave Matthews sings, "Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die."

Characters
That's an impressive list! 14:27, 17 February 2006 (CST)
 * Seconded. Wooow! A lot of time and skill must've gone into it. (Are you going to be putting Factions on all of them, too?) --130.58 00:50, 21 February 2006 (CST)


 * Thanks! Many hours sitting at the computer and many soft drinks later and there is still so much to do with my lower level characters. Been on a farming kick for the last week or so, but I hope to get them done and have their info on my guilds site.
 * And yeah, I plan on putting Factions on all my accounts. Hopefully we won't have to buy Factions for each account we have, but from what I hear we might. --Gares Redstorm 06:58, 21 February 2006 (CST)

Hurt vs. Hurl
Are you sure that it wasn't Hurl Foulspine that you ran into? --Rainith 12:14, 26 February 2006 (CST)
 * Probably was. I put it up for deletion. Although Hurl says its a Necromancer and the color I saw was Ranger green. There is already a Necromancer level 9 devourer named Fester Fang. I got his skills and such, just didn't take a pic, so I'm leaving him off for now. --Gares Redstorm 12:23, 26 February 2006 (CST)
 * I'm not saying you were wrong, I was questioning it though because Hurt Foulspine also doesn't show up on the list of bosses here: Bestiary/RawDump. --Rainith 12:26, 26 February 2006 (CST)
 * Not what I meant at all :P. I've been mispelling boss names all day. What I was commenting about was I think the class of Foulspine is mistated. I just wanted to say something in case you or anyone else had any reservations about it. EDIT: I like that RawDump list though and I didn't even notice Fang is already on the list for Eastern Frontier. Either I'm tired or I need a smoke :D--Gares Redstorm 12:31, 26 February 2006 (CST)


 * I think you're probably right. I created the article originally, and if he had no skills, then when I used an SoC with my W/R I probably would have assumed that he was a necro and not a ranger.  --Rainith 12:38, 26 February 2006 (CST)
 * Seems we are playing mistake tag. You found one of mine, I found one of yours :P. Btw, the smoke didn't help. I must be tired. --Gares Redstorm 12:49, 26 February 2006 (CST)
