I am Sporf. I am 75% human, 25% Zearnoid. My mother is all human, my father was a war brat, concieved during the war between Zearnot and Plugor in 2167.  Though I am a peace loving man, I am skilled in the field of Knives, both standard and Magic.

I would like to suggest a few guidlines though:

1) Nobody can ‘destroy the Earth’ or otherwise instantaneously end the story.

2) Nobody can speak for others. These stories are strictly dialoge between characters.

3) You MUST, and that is a BIG MUST, you must have fun!
