It's difficult for me to write a 'biography' for myself besides credentials, but if the effort is needed then it will be given. To start, I am a person who has a high-level of interest in firearms. While I am not of legal age to OWN a firearm in my home country; the United States, I have had experience in the use of them on multiple occasions. I do mild level scripting and modding for games like Half-Life or Fallout and their respective engines. As a person, I attempt to be as respectful and patient as possible, and care to pay attention (And likewise follow) what is expected of myself. Although it is of my own opinion, I thoroughly believe that I am a valuable contributor to what I am a part of and try my best to maintain such positions.
