"XD"

- rintaun

rintaun is a 19-year old male of primarily Irish and Scottish descent who lives in the greater Pittsburgh area of Western Pennsylvania. He has considered computer programming -- mainly web application development -- a major hobby since mid-2000. He has been using Internet Relay Chat (IRC) since early 1999.

Personality
rintaun generally acts rather happy on the internet, often using many emoticons, such as "XD", ":D", "D:", "^_^", and "@_@", just to name a few. This probably contributes to many people mistaking his gender for female or simply being completely unsure what his gender is.

Appearance
rintaun always wears the colors red and black, because he fervently believes that they are the best colors in the entire universe. Generally, unless mandated by some extenuating circumstances, his outfit consists of a plain red t-shirt and baggy black jeans. Whenever he goes anywhere, he wears a black leather trenchcoat

Personality
Contrary to how he may act online, rintaun in real life has suffered for many years from severe depression. To compensate for this, he tends to pick up many hobbies, completely immersing himself in one until he can't bring himself to do it anymore, at which point he switches to another.

History
Not on the first date.

Future
rintaun plans to attend a university with a dual major in Computer Science and Linguistics, and would like to get his PhD in the latter field. Once he has graduated, he hopes to develop computer translation and other artificial intelligence applications.
