Right, il play my hand.
Im a 15 year old from the good ol' US of A, i weight in at 280LB, 5'2. I have a weight problem, yeah. I have horrible self confidence and im (mostly) depressed all the time to various degrees. That being said, i still have a sense of humor and i can be funny at...times...
Im a Massive science fiction nut, i -Love- hard SciFi such as the Culture series by the now late Iain M Banks.
Im a bit of a activist, often i help out with efforts such as Reset the Net, DemandProgress, and a few other groups to help maintain a free internet.
RTS games are my love and joy, games like Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance and the first Supreme Commander are absolutely amazing, not to forget Star Ruler, and Star Ruler 2.
I have been RPing since i was nine or ten, i started out on Bay-station and was there for a few years, and eventually moved on, from Bay i went to Hypatia for a short span, ran my own server, went to Xodian or whatever it was called, and eventually, ended up here.
And that's all for now.

Luke Sky flyer. But wai you hate the war in the stars, bro. I don't hate you for it, nor would I ever dislike someone for disliking something I like for their own reasons (unless you hate looney tunes, then you are messed up)- but Star Wars is epic. Well that's just my opinion. How could you not like something so awsum pawsum. I lovvit. It just doesn't strike me as good sci fi. The characters (and this is wholly my opinion) are bland and two dimensional, the setting is never explained like good sci fi should be. The only question that couldn't be answered with space magic or "wizards did it" was where the Force comes from - and we're all still kind of rolling our eyes at midichlorians. Star Wars is a fantasy story pretending to be science fiction, and that doesn't appeal to me at all. Firefly told you why the Browncoats were the defeated under dogs and why purple still used rifles and shotguns alongside ftl drives. Star Trek explained every bit of technology and the theories behind them at some point. Even here, people bend over backwards to flesh out the technology and universe. We have lore developers who make a cohesive setting - one that makes sense. Somebody here can tell me why Tajara are allergic to capsaicin. Somebody can tell me why NT is the super power it is. Clone Disorder makes sense. No matter how nutty things get, they're nutty because of the players - the setting of SS13 is believable and doesn't require us to suspend our disbelief until it's gone. Why are Hutts immune to mind tricks? What defines a 'powerful mind'? Watto brushed off the Jedi mind trick - not because he was clever or strong willed, but because he's a Toydarian (sic). Why are Sith the manipulators, but Jedi can directly fuckle brains like it is totally not a shitty thing to do? Why do Sith get all veiny and goffic when they get powerful? Wtf is up with Jawas? Why didn't R2 or Chewie stop any of the bullshit they should have very clearly seen coming? Why did nobody bother to ask the Gungans how they made an orbital-strike-proof shield cobbled together by swamp-dwelling primitives? Yes, there is an expanded universe that likely answers some of these questions. For every cool thing that catches my interest - the B'omarr monks, for example - there's two shitty fan fiction things that carry no justification other than 'because Star Wars' - your Starkillers and Han & Leia's 2ebil4u son Jacen. Palpatine 2: Sexy Clone Boogaloo. To me, good science fiction is about justification. Technology we might have, issues we do or might face. It's a look forward into what might be. Science Fiction asks realistic questions in a fantastic setting - but a believable one. Bladerunner tackled issues. Star Wars asks us to not question why the magical space wuzzard's cellular structure have decided that his brand of mind rape is not evil, because lightsabers look freakin' rad. Players on Space Station 13 agonize over whether an AI is sentient and deserves to have rights. (I've seen it!) Start Wars expects you to be surprised when the guy almost literally named 'Dark Father' turns out to be an evil father. To use a clumsy metaphor in the attempt to be funny - Science Fiction and Fantasy are like genders. Some people like men, some people like women, some people like both. Or neither! Star Wars is one clumsily trying to pass for the other with the bare minimum of effort, and I find the end result neither appealing or appetizing. Certainly not anything I want to curl up under the covers with for a weekend-long binge. If you want some sexy crossdressing action, I recommend Dragonriders of Pern - Science Fiction pretending to be Fantasy. I've spent many nights with that series, although it gets a little up its own ass after a few books. |

Kerbal don't feel bad you weigh the same as me. Mind you, I'm a little closer to 6 feet tall... But you generally don't reach your full height until like 18 or so. Even the you might still have a random growth of an inch or two after! I did.

I must have gotten a whole year older reading your post, Luke. Dayum.
I guess that's your reason. And its legit, cuz I mean great wall of china text. And not just dumb text. Text with big words and stuff.
I just like Star Wars because its a good set of movies all together. I don't take movies as serious as you do... If I enjoyed watching it, I like it. Cool pew pew guns and shiny light tube swords with funny sounding stupid droids and a badass with a breathing issue... I enjoyed it. I'd understand why you didn't. You pay to much attention, in my opinion. Movie is a movie is a movie. That's how I see 'em. NOW I'M NOT STARTING A DEABATE ABOUT MOVIES AND PAYING ATTENTION or anything... I just have a ... Simpler approach. Yeah. That's it.

Mind you, I do like just watching dumb movie from time to time. It's a ruining joke with my roommates that that my favorite movie is Con Air (it isn't) And that Nicholas Cage is my favorite actor. (He's not.)
But goddamn do I love sitting down to a mindless action flick with a couple beers.

I'm 6 '4' and am around 171 pounds; though I am athletic, having worked in construction for a while
I am actually a incredibly high functioning autistic, and had gone to social therapy for a good chunk of my childhood to be able to know social cues and the like.
I have a degree in Civil law, and am thinking of going back to college for a doctorate in astrophysics; yes, two entirely different fields, but that's me for you.

Hi I'm hivefleetchicken, listen to me rant egotistically about how fucking cool I think I am, thanks.
-I survived a usually terminal medical condition known as acute perforated appendicitis. My appendix exploded and my body capsulized the infected area on its own, and essentially quarantine half of my fucking stomach. Then I had to have doctors put a tube into my stomach that dug inside of that quarantined zone, and slowly drained it over the course of about a week. (It was this pinkish goop that smelled like toe funk.)
-I have no belly button. Well, I have a scar where it should be, but if you saw it, you wouldn't think it was a belly button. Laparoscopic surgery when removing my appendix killed it.
-I actually can fellatiate myself, I was curious one late late Friday night and never-ever tried again, end of story.
-I am asexual. I have never had a girlfriend, except for that one time in sixth grade where I lost a bet and had to ask some girl out. She said yes and we broke up half a day later.
-I have had crabs, once, for about an hour. Not explaining this one.
-I am horridly underweight, I think around 5 pounds under the bottom-limit for my age group.
-I have also been short my entire life, and bullied because of it. However, in the past four-five years of hormones and puberty I have grown taller than a good half of my age group, and been dishing out revenge since. (I'm coming for you, Cory, you fucking asshole.)

I actually know someone who survived acute perforated appendicitus as well, though he has a permanent limp, and is very sensitive to pain in that area.
I also found out today that my dad, ((A RAF Sergeant)) Has more medals than most Group Captains and somehow received a Command of the Armed Forces Commendation, no idea what that means. He is a tech support sergeant, previously working on setting up and running radars and airfields, with no armed duties, how he got these, I do not know, he was also ranked 3rd in the RAF for snipers at one point, and was offered a place in sniper school.

When my dad was in training in the army, several superior officers were tenants in homes he was renting out to them. They always treated him well because they were afraid of being evicted. Hue.
