Race: I was born a half-ent (please don’t ask, I don’t ask how you were made) but over the centuries I have become almost ent-irely Ent.
Interesting Facts: I want to win fights because I am better than you, not because I have tricks you have never seen before. I am, therefore, a traitor to lefty-kind. I will teach anyone who asks, or routinely gets killed by lefty tricks, all the basic lefty shots and countermeasures for them.
Events Attended:
- There are more than I can remember. I attended anything that doesn’t specify the first time at least once before but don’t know when.
- Oktoberfest: 2024, 2025, 2026
- Monster Mash: 2024, 2025, 2026
- Melcaorme: 2024, 2025
- Wolfpack opener: first time in 2026
- Armagedon: first time in 2026
- Take Your Hitsmas: First time in 2026
- Sword Knight Boot Camp: 2026
- My primary mentor in the game was named Testocles back in the day. He taught me half of what I have ever known.
- Sword Knight Boot Camp is technically run by Amtgard people but it will make a bigger difference in the quality of your fighting and the rate you improve at than anything else I have ever done.
- I have survived something like eight parks, and since each park’s lore has been set in the same place but several generations after the previous, my character is several hundred years old. As an Ent that is perfectly reasonable, in fact I may not even be a full adult yet.
- Real Life Information
- I teach people to improve their skills for learning and demonstrating knowledge under pressure. That last is currently optimized for testing but several of the skills translate to all of life, including fighting.
- I can also teach you to use calculus to make calculations with graph paper and a pencil. All you need to be able to do is count, multiply, and divide numbers. There will be no letters involved unless you ask for them.
