Welcome to my Wowpedia user page! I have been an avid fan and player of World of Warcraft since November of 2005, when I first began my journey as a ten year old playing a tauren warrior fighting quilboar within Mulgore. Obviously, being so young, I had no cash nor card to pay for my own account, so I played underneath the banner account of my step-father's alongside my brothers. We each had our own characters, but we mostly leveled up the main character, Bigstacks, a night elven combat rogue. However, I still wanted to keep my own identity. So not long after making my way into the Barrens with the tauren warrior, I had created a dwarf hunter and a gnome mage before I finally settled on a night elven feral druid aptly named Bigstackstwo some time around patch 1.09, if I remember correctly. I still remember joining my old guild led by Sistine of Gul'dan as I was still leveling in Teldrassil, before I decided enough was enough and I foolishly trekked through the Wetlands to make it towards the dwarven lands of Loch Modan.

I suffered a lot of scrutiny throughout my journeys in Classic WoW as I valiantly stuck to my guns as a feral druid, claiming, "feral ftw", even though it was well-known to be a suboptimal spec choice at the time. Nonetheless, I made my way until midway through Wrath of the Lich King. By that point, I had been convinced to transfer my character towards a relative's account so that I would be able to play with my brothers in PvP, dungeons, and possibly even raids. This would never come to pass. I ended up losing my character entirely, because that certain relative was a very high-level arena player, and he would often be playing while I attempted to use my character. He actually used that character for his own purposes until some time around Legion, and unfortunately the armory is no longer visible. Oh well. For a long time since Wrath, this upset me greatly and ended up causing me to pursue other... means of playing the game, for many years. I won't mention that, though I will state that this was the driving force for me to branch out into creating character stories rather than just leveling up throughout the game as I had done previously. I never meant any ill will towards Blizzard, and I promised myself that as soon as I had the funds and ability to return to the regular game, I would. And I did.

Throughout my time playing the game and relishing in reading the lore of the WoW universe on the old wikis, I had taken a particular interest in machinima - videos uploaded on YouTube that were made to create stories and entertain their viewers. Specifically, I can note Oxhorn, Cranius, Myndflame, ianbeckman671, the Tales of the Past creator, and more recently, Nixxiom, as content creators that I have enjoyed watching and supporting throughout the years. I dabbled in making machinima myself during Wrath, though the quality and creativity was incredibly low and I pursued other means of creation. From then on, I decided to enjoy roleplaying multiple characters in the game, and from there is where I ended up creating personal backstories that you can find here. There have been many more characters along the journey, but I feel that these are the most memorable.

Anyways, fast-forward to late-Mists of Pandaria. I decided to take all of the characters and lessons with me as I began my own journey within Azeroth, free from anyone else's usage. I have thus far never truly stayed within a guild and made a scheduled assault against a certain raid tier since then, even to the end of Legion like I had hoped I would. I raided Molten Core, UBRS, and even made a bit of an assault against Ahn'Qiraj alongside Gul'dan-US's BrainFearGone guild, which was a decently progressive guild in the old times.

Nowadays, I mostly keep to LFR, Normal, and sometimes Heroic level with PuGs. Perhaps eventually, I'll be able to set aside the time to contribute enough towards a guild's focus in tearing down an enemy in Heroic or Mythic. Maybe one day.

Yes, I'm still mad to this day that my account will forever say made in 2013, that I don't have my old Sergeant title, that I lost my Argent Dawn bubble Protector tabard from the Dark Portal scene, and that I don't have my old shade pet ghost from the same event. Oh well, it's just something I'll have to deal with!

I've attempted to re-attain as many achievement points in the meanwhile, because I find the overall completion of the game to be quite rewarding. It's been over a decade, and even after many people questioning me as to whether or not I'll ever get bored of the game or the Warcraft universe, I still tell them no. It's been a great home and a wonderful hobby to enjoy throughout my years.

You can find me across social media and especially here, probably angering the admins as I always have with my incredible amount of character page edits I make because I'm very afraid of accidentally erasing the additions or making small grammar mistakes (as I have many times!) with my creations. I'm sure this is a small sector of players even visiting character story pages, and an even smaller amount of people I'm blessed to have reading my content.

I just want to say thank you for reading my contributions to this wiki and hopefully you've enjoyed reading what I've posted! :)
