Mundanely Known as D.A. 'Walkyr' Creelman:

Walkyr has been interested in the strange and unusual for a long time.
A very long time. Totally mind-bogglingly long. You may think it's a
long walk down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to
this. Listen:
As the self-designated "blue sheep" (just a little too weird to be the black sheep) of his relatives, he sought out Science Fiction, Role-playing games and Filk as an escape from the incredibly mundane. As far as bringing home the bacon is concerned, let us just say that you cannot disgust him, no matter your stories about high school dissections, lab rats or what Dr. Compton pulled out of your dog's rectum in surgery last week. He occasionally ventures out to play the odd Live Action game, when somebody nearby bothers to hold one. In October of 2006, Walkyr married Meg Heydt (SCA: Margrethe Astrid Ravn). |
SCA:

Donovan recently joined the SCA (unless you count that one Potrero War) kicking and screaming ("Oh, somebody save me! I'm being forced to have fun!"), dragged in by his then girlfriend, Margrethe. Falling in with the 'Stags, he discovered that being a ham on stage made up for his otherwise quiet existence. Next stage: hittin' people with sticks. Woo-hoo! |
