Well, what can I say.
At 20 years old, I'm the current baby of the guild. I'm a full time tank and a part time assistant manager at a Premier Inn in Newcastle. I'm also a full time student, studying a BA (hons) in English Literature and Language. I'm coming to the end of my degree and hopefully doing a PGCE next year. My goal in life is to teach English and Drama at secondary school level.

I'm happily a bit of a nerd. I can't kick a ball to save my life, but I'm an avid runner and in my spare time (when not playing RIFT) I like going running, or just sitting inside reading or writing. I write poetry and drama, I've written some (published) poetry and  several (unpublished) plays. I'm very interested in theatre and right now, I'm working on an academic dissertation on Sarah Kane - a mid to late 90's dramatist.

As a person I am every bit an introvert - I'm usually fairly quiet and prefer to keep myself to myself. Having said that I'm a really warm and kind individual - always there to help and always playing for the team. Normally put others before myself and always look for new ways to improve.

Favourite music consists of stuff like The Stone Roses, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, but I'm also a huge fan of Drum & Bass and Dance/Electronic, Techno and that sort of stuff.

Recently, I've started teaching voluntarily to gain experience. It's the best job in the world - I absolutely love it and can't wait to do it for a career.

My favourite things in life are literature, theatre, walking, running, RIFT and films.

As a gamer, there's one role I am interested in, and that is the role of a tank. I have tanked through my entire MMO play-history, and currently in Rift, happily sit as Number 6 - which is the other half of the tanking core in Imperium, and the other "primary tank" within a group of 4 who tank in raids; Azounstone, Sephiroth and Lasch, the latter two being off-spec tanks, who dutifully rise to the task when needed.
