http://www2.pic-upload.de/img/31007788/MM.jpg With the recent drama on these boards I came to realize how much of a community we really are, every individual on these boards contributing to this close-knit family brought together by this awesome Game. Now, I'm no stranger to these parts, in fact I'm a pretty active forum lurker, having started as nothing more than a man whose enthusiasm over this one champion "Mordekaiser" made him actively try to promote his cause during the times of the Juggernaut update. It's been a bit over a year and here we are. I've made a lot of new friends over the past 13 months or so, all thanks to being pretty vocal about Mordekaiser. Anyways, I'm digressing. I never actually thanked all of you for making my stay here on the boards so enjoyable so to celebrate US as a community I've decided to spill the beans who this "MALICIOUS METAL" really is.

Drum roll

Just some random metalhead http://www2.pic-upload.de/img/31007798/MM1.jpg

I've recently debunked ANY rumor to me actually having two X chromosomes, sorry to disappoint. I, just as so many forum lurkers, am a rather young male gamer from the wicked lands beyond massive mountain peaks, a land filled with torment and anguish; SWITZERLAND!

Some people thought I was either Finnish or Scandinavian, based on the fact that I'm a huge metal fan. Close, but no cigar. I'm from one of the smallest European countries, one in where education's one of the most important things in our everyday life. That's why I've been studying for way over thirteen years, way over half my life I've spent on school, and STILL COUNTING!

I'm currently attending University in Zurich, studying both English and History as my primary subjects in hopes to become a High school teacher in about 3 and a half years. English has always been my fascination, having become quite proficient at it by simply reading English books, watching TV shows and GAMING. Being the geek that I am I've come to write a lot of stories, having written two short fantasy stories as my High school graduation paper, having even scored the highest of my entire class (Hooray for being Numero UNO)

So, beyond that, what's there to know?

I'm half Swiss, half Italian http://www2.pic-upload.de/img/31007814/MM6.jpg My Mother's parents did immigrate from Italy in search for work and thanks to them my mother met my Father who was one of the best (if not the only) IT specialist in town. Fast forward six years and I'm born. On the eighth of may 1996, having just reached my twenty first year on this planet (Damn I feel old TwT)

Having grown up in a multilingual household made me quite the prodigy when it came to learning new languages that's why I'm currently fluent in English, German, Italian while also being decent at French and having some basic knowledge of Spanish

I love animals http://www2.pic-upload.de/img/31007800/MM2.jpg I've always liked animals, having grown up knowing nothing else. We've had almost a hundred different cats, always multiplying and kittens popping up like mushrooms. But cats aren't the only pets I have, having had a few parrots, fish and a Gecko, the latter having outlived them all! And it doesn't end there, I actually frequently take my friend's two german shepherds for walks and play fetch with 'em.

I'm kinda creative(?) http://orig11.deviantart.net/2b7f/f/2015/297/0/2/who_s_the_true_master_of_evil__by_nimrohd-d9e6u1v.jpg Besides loving to write my own stories and such I'm actually rather decent with the pencil, loving to sketch and draw, sometimes even coloring the sketches with Photoshop. I didn't get an electronic device until I was about eleven so I had plenty of time to kill, drawing always having been one of my favorite activities alongside fishing and playing the guitar.

I'm somewhat of a Game-nerd http://www2.pic-upload.de/img/31007805/MM3.jpg Wischer, Dragon Age, League of Legends, you name it, I'm really into games, and not only the gaming aspect of it. I like drawing fan art, to discuss these games with friends, sometimes write reviews and such and even Cosplay!

So, having taken the first step I challenge YOU to share some of your SCANDALOUS secrets with us so that we can get to know the people behind the usernames and MEMES.

Malicious Metal, Out! (And feel free to AMA)

My only secret is how i met my fiancee really.

Its kind of long so ill make it short.

I started playing wow around end of Vanilla and before Burning Crusade i joined this guild called Risen. This was a huge pve guild back than on the server Alleria. I was mostly a pvp player but i was good at pve as well. Any ways when i did my test run with them i passed every test with flying colors all for one person. It was one of the higher officers in the guild and she said she didn't like my cocky attitude. To be fair i did have a a bit of an ego than.

Any ways fast Forward a few months and things are great get along with everyone but said one person she would always try and nit-pick everything i do no matter what. I didn't really mind in fact i just turned it around on her and started calling her my wife. You know since shes always on my case and all.

Toward the end of TBC we started getting along better thought she would still get all pissy when i called her my honey bunny. ^_^

In the start of WotLK i went from being a hunter main to a Death Knight main and every raid night i would tease her and get her all worked up to the point where she would stop talking till i called her honey and she would just blow up every time lol. It was always in good fun and she knew it.

Fast forward about 5 more months i go to fill my truck up at a gas station near my home town and this girl said she liked my Death Knight shirt. So we started talking and nerding out about WoW and what not. She asks what server i played on i told her and than shes like "oh wow i play on the same one!" I said no way what class? She like Druid! (Now at this point in the back of my mind i was thinking holy shit its her! ITS HER ITS FUCKING HER!!!!!) and so i ask for her in game name she said Healicious and i busted out laughing.

She asked me what was so funny and so i told her what guild i was in and she started turning red. So i said my hunters name and she just lost it. It was the cutest freak out i have ever seen. After i got her to relax a bit i ask her why she hated me so much. She said she didn't and than kind of mumbled something. I asked if she would like to go out and eat and she said yes. Needless to say the next day in guild chat was epic. :))

Not my best pic but i just got off work and yes that is indeed a Pentakill shirt :D http://imgur.com/RS6p1On?noredirect

A great post. Although I will admit, I was fully conviced you were female. But anyway, thank you for being such a great part of this community. You and a couple of the other posters are pretty much the only reason I have stayed on the boards. https://media.giphy.com/media/AeWoyE3ZT90YM/giphy.gif

Carry on, brave soul. Though you have exposed your flesh, we all know your spirit is undying, and metal. May the world recognize your efforts, and may the succeeding generations inherit your enthusiasm for life.

Also, HAH! I am your senior!

Herru nubs I am VenturaThePoro (though most IRL/close online friends call me Atty,) and I am a 15 (ALMOST 16) year old girl GASP GIRL LIES from the US, and I currently live in Texas, although I grew up all my life in the big city of New York.

Yes when I moved to Texas I was all like http://i.imgur.com/Rl1ovsL.gif but you get used to it surprisingly!

I do graphics and I have been into online games since I was 8 and I made my first character on World of Warcraft. Oh- and I'm also known as a HUGEEEE Otaku, as well as a GFX geek.

Current example of GFX: http://i.imgur.com/tzp5DCe.png (pst it's not done yet but almost)

I have a few dreams for my future but I honestly don't know yet. I want to be a rigger, a writer, an animator, a voice actor, a coder, a dancer, a singer, and a psychologist.

I use very weeb tech, including MMD, which is used in Japan to make Vocaloid official music videos! (though I know how to pose decently well; http://i.imgur.com/WwQktcT.png I've done one video of Childish War just figuring out how motion data etc works, planning on making my own motion data too!)

And finally... I love pink. .-.

I have secrets

"Not that anyone cares " -Goth Chick #2

I mean...i hope that someone cares... NOT THAT I WANT THEM TO OR ANYTHING!

But, I'll just tell you a little about myself, since I really like your "face" being one of the main ones on the boards and just making the league community a better one

I'm currently a University student in Wisconsin, and after next semester I'll be considered a third year student by credits. I'm currently a professional writing and publishing major, which basically means that I'll be able to write...all formal-like. It's not really what I want to do with my life, not really sure, but I wouldn't have been able to convince my parents to let me be a Creative Writing major. I also think it's just not as secure as a PWaE major.

But i love English, and my favorite aspect is storytelling. I was a major bookworm when I was a kid, plowing through a stack in a few days, and then my mom, who had dabbled in creative writing, started teaching me as a "class" in homeschool. I loved it and it really created this love for writing in me that eventually evolved into a love of storytelling in any medium. I have written countless shorts, nearly a full novel in 7-9th grade and I am working on a different novel now, struggling to re-write it because the plot has changed a bit...Quite a bit

Fast forward a few years, I started re-watching a childhood favorite "Mobile Suit Gundam Wing" and that was the beginning of the end, my gateway drug into becoming a low key weeb. I love anime now. I just love the way it can use music and color and exaggeration in ways that other mediums are unable.

My childhood was kinda dull because I had no real friends, which is why i relied on books and videogames. I played all pokemon games up until the 3DS because i just didnt want to invest the money anymore, but I have always loved gaming as well.

I have a girl i met in highschool cross-country (i went back for my last two years) and i have been dating her for the past two years +

She is amazing and while she and I don't share a ton of hobbies, that doesnt matter much to me. Maybe eventually Ill get her to play a game with me, but it doesnt really matter. She is my best friend and as a hopeless romantic, I think love really is enough and it's what you have in common that draws you together and whats different is what keeps you that way. But i think I'll marry her one day, im not ready yet thou

But this fall I am taking an Media Arts and Games Design course and if i end up liking it, my academic advisor told me she would do an independent study on "game narrative" with me. So hyped that i hope I like it.

Hopefully, Ill finish my book one day and be able to write all my other ideas, get rich from it being a best seller, and maybe designing lore and quests for a good mmo one day

one day.....

But yeah thats me, a story about you paid back with one about me ! <3
