Hi to everyone
I am Sven from Germany. I am working currently as a volunteer for the German network Mystics and I am the creator of the German inofficial FAQ for HJ (which can be found on Brodbanes site and on our Mystics fansite soon). I am part of the Hero's Journey team. In RL I become a translator. My languages are French (nearly native speaker), German (native Speaker), Italian and English. At the moment I prepare to learn Russian and Chinese, which will be important next year in the university. Actually I am more afraid of Russian than of the Chinese language. But Andragon, who is Admin of HJ-Mystics, may be can help me a bit with Russian. I love to read and to write as much as I can. Besides that I love to "waste" my time with MMOs. In the recent years I've played many Pen&Paper Games like Shadowrun, DSA (Das Schwarze Auge - a German fantasy MMO), AD&D, Earthdawn, Call of Cthulhu.
My favourite writers are: James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, Marcel Proust, Rimbaud Goethe, Kafka, Schiller, Tolkien, Lovecraft.
Pets: Two Cats. In the past: A dog (Rottweiler).
Favourite classical composers: Bruckner, Bach, Strauss, Schnittke, Ligetti, Beethoven
Favourite modern musicians: Audioslave, Blind Guardian, Depeche Mode, Amon Amarth, mostly metal; soundtracks (especially Howard Shore and Hans Zimmer) and sometimes some dull pop-songs.
My favourite philosophers are: Kant, Hegel, Marx and Adorno.
My favourite TV-Shows are: Seinfeld, Simpsons, Band of Brothers
My favourite films are: Lord of the Rings I-III, Collateral, Gladiator, Pirates of the Carribean I, The Hours, The Downfall, Amelie, Good bye Lenin and Koyaanisqatsi + Powaqqatsi.
Played MMORPGs so far: UO, WoW, EQII, "Guild Wars"
I really adore travelling to Ireland and France. And by writing that: On Saturday night I travel to southern France. To Fréjus.
Most MMOs disappointed me, because the possibilities for roleplaying were limited. Even now HJ will support and faciliate more RP than most released MMOs.
ok, I think that's enough so far. :lol: I've noticed that this is an Invision board (I am member of
another Invision board, too. With the possibility to have an own blog. Cool (but not cheap) stuff. Would be nice to see HJ with such a board.
