Real Name: Byron Scott Webb

Residence: Richmond, VA (USA)

Biography

  • Born & raised in central VA.
  • Attended the College of William and Mary in Virginia, graduating with a BS in Computer Science.
  • Worked for a single company, programming on IBM midrange computers mostly in, ironically enough given my hobbies, variants of a language called RPG. So I can handle a bit 'o technology, but I've only a passing familiarity with programing for Windows and none for *nix platforms or Macs.

Interests

  • Face to face RPGs (D&D, GURPS, FATE, etc). I've been playing variants of these games since 1978.
  • Painting miniature figures for use in RPGs. Not very interested in miniature figure wargames. I've been doing this off and on (more off than on) since the mid 1980s.
  • Computer games:
    • CRPGs
    • Single player stategy games
    • Diablo II style games
    • Used to play first person shooters until they started giving me vertigo
    • Flight sims (sort of). Mostly the Wing Comander franchise when it still existed
    • MUDs are new to me. The only multiplayer CRPG I'd done was Ultima Online in its early days.
  • Reading science fiction and fantasy books and (to a lesser extent) movies.
  • Stand up comedy (watching, not doing -- my puns would get me booed off any stage)
  • General history and science topics. I don't tend to spend a lot of time on a single subject, sort of a jack of all trades, master of none approach.


Avatar MUD Information

I started AVATAR on 07/28/2006 with my first alt, Morlicar. As such, I'm still a newbie and probably will be for a while. I tend to solo, which is slower than teaming up with others to form parties (I have grouped a few times). Even so, I feel I can explore at my slow pace when by myself, which I feel I cannot do when grouped (don't want to bore my allies...)

My Alts:

  • Morlicar, human, monk, lowmort
    My first character and most often played. He's died many, many times! His deaths are why I may never get to be a hero :-).
  • Malikie, centaur, cleric, lowmort
  • Sliss, lizardman, warrior, lowmort
  • Edrahel, elf, rouge, lowmort
    The only alt who hasn't died. Yet.
  • Silkarian, elf, mage, lowmort

Update: As of this time, I am inactive on Avatar. Not because of any bad experiences or boredom but because time has become short. I may return, but I'm not holding my breath... :)
