User:Thief

I'm Thief, like everyone else here, I'm a fan of .hack, but unlike a lot of people, I'm nowhere near obsessed with it =P I'm horrible at art and computer formatting, so when I add something or make edits, I hope people will fix the layout if there are any problems XD

Real Life
I'm your average 17 year old. I love to hang out with my friends, play sports (especially squash), lift weights and play my instruments. I'm Canadian and damn proud of it. I play 7 instruments: Flute, Saxophone, Drums, Piano, Harmonica, Guitar, and Bass. Next year I plan on majoring in Chemistry (W00T SCIENCE!)

Name Creation
I used to frequent .hack//chat a lot and people were very stingy about the avatars people would use. Since I suck at art, I would normally just use other peoples' avatars, when they would get mad, I would simply say "what do you expect of a thief?" That's how I started using my unoriginal name... boring, isn't it.

Altimit Corp V1
.hack//chat was the first site that I went to that actually involved interaction with other people (before that time, I just frequented game sites). Shortly after that time, about 2 months, Altimit Corp. opened and I manage to stumble upon it. That was the very first forum based site I had visited and become an active member. It was really thanks to that site that I got into .hack as much as I did. Before Altimit, I had simply watched .hack//sign, went on .hack//chat and didn't even own any of the games. Luckily, I have always had adequate grammar and spelling, but it was during my time at Altimit that I really began to learn proper internet etiquette and manners. In the end I guess I was best known on that site as being the guy who managed to claim 12 prizes =D

Altimit Corp. V2
I must've been the only member who was actually happy when V1 ended. I figured that it's time had come and everyone should just move on. However, when there was news that Altimit was coming back, I rejoined immediately (I can never pass up a chance to get free stuff). This time around, I participated a lot less on the forums and was online a lot less than the first time. Just like the first campaign, I was very content when it ended and am happy that it's still offline. I managed to get only about 6 items this time, but collectively, I managed to get about $500 worth of free .hack stuff.

HoL
Recently I've decided to be active at HoL even though I've been a member for well over 2 years. I participate when I feel like it but enjoy lurking and reading about the hilarious insanity.

.hack//Wiki
I've also decided to stop watching the updates and make some of my own where I can. Granted, I've never used a wiki, so my first several months will probably be a little sketchy at best.

Series'
Aside from .hack, I'm a fan of Death Note and Invader Zim. My fandome isn't that extreme, it's a simple love for the series and collecting merch when I find it for a good price.

Sports
I love to lift weights and rollerblade. I'm also an avid Squash player and am usually in the courts at least four times a week.

Music
I'll listen to any type of music excluding rap (rhyming to a beat is NOT music!). By far my favorite singer is Corey Taylor and as suck my favorite bands are Stone Sour and Slipknot. I also love the music of KoЯn and of course .hack =D
