Extended Background

Howdy!

I'm just an Urban Dead player who's made a point of enjoying as many aspects of the game as possible. Towards that end, I've created userscripts, led or helped to lead some of the top groups, written a handful of guides, and gotten around the wiki quite a bit. I'm sometimes a sysop too.

I have characters in some of the premier groups of Malton, each of which leads an entirely separate existence from the others. If my zombie eats your brains, it's nothing personal (most of the time), it's just me playing the character to its fullest. Likewise, if my survivor swings through to help you patch the place up later, I'm not a zombie spy. I'm honestly there to help you repair the damage to the best of my capability.

Outside of the game, I'm a recently married software developer living in Bryan, Texas, USA. I graduated from Texas A&M University, worked in the space industry, did a stint in grad school, and assisted in teaching thousands of students subjects ranging from FORTRAN to ethics, though not all necessarily in that order. These days, my work has me creating custom-built apps for engineering firms.

I've lived on the Pacific, Atlantic, and Gulf coasts of America, so I'm used to lots of sun and beaches. Despite living in Southern states, I never grew up surrounded by Southern culture, so it's something I've had to get used to. The place I'm living now is the furthest inland (140 miles/225 km), most elevated (360 feet/110 m), coldest (snow every few years), and hottest (weeks of highs over 105°F/40°C each summer) place I've ever lived.

I'm a Christian that holds pretty traditional and conservative values, but unless you ask me about it, this is probably about the only time you'll see me bring it up, just because religion isn't a topic that most people want to discuss while playing a zombie game. That said, if it's something that you have questions about, feel free to ask. I'll do my best to answer.

As for politics...get back to me when any of the parties finally finds some common sense. Until then, I don't support any of them.

Besides my talk page, you can also click the link on the side to e-mail me via the wiki.

For even more information about me, I've also detailed what my desktop setup is, as well as what some of my hobbies are.

And if I happen to be in-character or representing a group I'm in, I may use different signatures around the wiki:

—Aichon— I represent myself (or possibly the sysop team, if I'm acting in an official capacity).
—Aichon⁴— I represent the Bash, who wants to party and eat your BRA!NZ!
—Aichon (MOB)— I represent the MOB, bringing you the message of BARHAH!
IV PK I represent the Order, eliminating ignorance through...education.
—Aichon (SoC)— I represent the Soldiers of Crossman, uniting the Northwest.
—SomethingElse— I represent myself, but I'm acting goofy using the parameters in my signature.

Oh, and my screen name is pronounced the same as "icon".
