Calen Maethor Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Greetings everyone! I'm not entirely sure what the introduction format is, but I liked the "character bio" idea, so that's what I'm going with... Personal Info: I'm 33 years old, married and a father of two (4 year old boy; 1 year old girl). I'm 5'5", 175 lbs and I'm a mesomorphic body type (for whatever that's worth). I have a BFA in Metalsmithing and love to build/tinker with things. I've been extremely active all my life; started off in tae kwon do for several years, moved on to wrestling in high school, then onto ARMA (Association for Renaissance Martial Arts) and Schola Saint George (the last two are both Historical European Martial Arts organizations). Weapon styles are my love and will be until I die. Nerd Info: While I've always had a definite love for video games and comics, I'm really more of a D&D nerd. I may have named my son after Wolverine, but elves, dwarves and dragons are what occupies my mental adventures. I grew up in the 80s/90s with Transformers, Thundercats, Ninja Turtles, and Gargoyles. I followed the typical routine of playing hard outside until it's dark, then going inside and playing video games until bedtime (I still largely follow the same routine). My Situation: I was able to keep up with my training while my son was young (even though my job has me work odd hours), but after my daughter was born and my wife started working more, I ran into the dreaded "lack of time"!!! .... also energy... definite lack of energy. I realize I can always find time, but whenever I do have five or ten minutes, I tend to drift into a vegetative state and just plop down somewhere to breath slowly. My Goals: It seems to me that my issues can be resolved with psychological conditioning and a change in diet. Here's where you guys come in... I just want people of like minds. When I found this website, it was a breath of fresh air. I never realized there were so many people like me...lol (or at least how I like to envision myself). A big thanks to all of you! ... I'm also hoping I can rope in all my nerd friends. I've already been talking up the website. 1 Quote Level 3 Half-Elf AssassinSTR= 9.5 DEX= 14 STA=4 CON=3 WIS=3 CHA=2 Current Challenge "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't... you're right." ~Henry Ford Link to comment
StuffedInABoxx Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Welcome to the Rebellion! Haha, I had the same reaction. When I saw how much this site had to offer, I got pretty excited and started telling people. And I don't even know most of it at this point! I'm excited to get into this world, and I know you'll be able to get the support and advice you need! 1 Quote Glingaerben the Wood ElfLevel 1 Ranger AssassinSTR 2 | DEX 3 | STA 1 | CON 1 | WIS 2 | CHA 2Challenges: #1, 2Battle Log Link to comment

Calen Maethor Posted February 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Thanks Stuffed & Red! I appreciate the support; I really feel like that's the number one thing I need right now.Mevre- I recommend it to anyone. Worst case scenario, it's a fun talking point ("oh yeah, I used to swordfight, until someone stabbed me in the knee"). Message me about it; I'm sure there's some groups in your area.Hi Silver! I've read several of your posts and already love your positivity. My metalwork is a bit scattered. I make sculptures, knives & I tinker with steampunk projects.Thanks for the positive words everyone! 1 Quote Level 3 Half-Elf AssassinSTR= 9.5 DEX= 14 STA=4 CON=3 WIS=3 CHA=2 Current Challenge "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't... you're right." ~Henry Ford Link to comment
