Profile: Wildstrike

Wildstrike (as seen here and mentioned here) was the captain of the 12th Guard squad, the cohort Ironhide was sparked into. When Ironhide came online Wildstrike was in the equivalent of his mid to late 30's, several tens of thousands of vorn older than Ironhide was. ( Read more... )

Long story short, I ended up on Wikipedia. =__= Here are notes for my own reference later.

I wrote two bits which were about to dissolve into Action Scene (at which I fail), and have reworked the pertinent bits of the plot as they apply to Theodric a few times, but it's all still ( Read more... )

LoM has just walked off with most of a Siouxsie and the Banshee's album ("Peepshow", sans the first track - "Peek-a-boo" - and the two tracks that Lucid Dreams refuses to give up, which are "Carousel" and "Rawhead"). Which is sort of an extreme departure from the former Adiemus centered soundtrack ( Read more... )

I possibly need a "geek" icon that doesn't involve html, because there is more to geeking out than computers. Or in addition to computers, maybe ( Read more... )
