BioShort version: Pedantic, sarcastic, and over-qualified. But not a damn' Yankee, whatever the accent sounds like. And yes, I'm still ill.
Friends' versions: "The most cynical man on the planet". "The most sarcastic man on the planet". "The most bitter man on the planet". "The most unemployable man on the planet". "Lovably morose and gloomy". "Who I want to be when I grow up."
Long version: A cynical old freak who seems to have a habit of acquiring qualifications and skills in a never-ending quest to make himself entirely unemployable through total over-qualification for any given post. His last success in this field involved being told that he typed too quickly and accurately to be hired as a typist.
Other qualifications include a Distinction at MA level in stopping international wars, training as a copy editor and proof reader, grading as a fencing coach, an honours degree from the top history department in the UK, and 24 years' experience as a roleplaying gamesmaster.
The last item in that list has given him the most pleasure. with former players saying that the stories he crafted for them changed the way they approached not only roleplaying but life as a whole. Of course, given the amount of time he has devoted to roleplaying, he had to find lunatics willing to say anything sooner or later.
Above all else he is an arrogant and sarcastic old bastard who's not half as intelligent and wise as he would like to be.
