About me
My main character is Talulah, a level 85 Tauren Balance Druid on the Garona server. I am the Chieftain (Guild Master) of the guild Spectrum Rage. I started playing WoW during beta and rolled my first character (Tauren Hunter) on Terenas after the game went live. A few months later, I made the switch to Garona.

In real life (what's that?), I work as tech support and go to school at the University of Advancing Technology, majoring in Game Programming. I am currently working on raising our school's wiki from the ashes.

I am one of the few that is absolutely in love with murlocs. I am of the opinion that they should be a playable race. Mrrrrgggggllllll!

Wowpedia work
Have suggestions on what I can work on? Drop me a note on my talk page.

Character name origins

 * Talulah: Also Talula. One of my favorite songs by Tori Amos. Also, Native American Choctaw name meaning "leaping water."
 * Lokkar: Originally named Spectrumbank. Renamed after guild banks were put in game and name changes were available. Since he is an Orc Warrior, I was going for something similar to "Lok'tar". This was the closest name available.
 * Taljin: Used to be Homogenized when he was a Tauren. This name is a play on words: "Tal" is for my main character Talulah, and "jin" is for the Zandali (Troll) word meaning chief or elder.
 * Jolon: Native American name meaning "Valley of the dead oaks." Thought it was quite fitting since he's a Tauren Death Knight.
 * Jerreth: Was Notus. Refers to the Goblin King character played by David Bowie in the movie Labyrinth.
 * Danek: Just a name I came up with many years ago while playing Ultima Online. Apparently it's a Polish/Czech name meaning Daniel.
 * Yakut: Name of an Amazon tribal member from the TV show Xena.
 * Nanashi: Japanese name meaning Unnamed. Also, the name of an anime character. I'm not sure why I picked this name other than the fact that I probably couldn't come up with a name and this fit. I will probably end up changing it.
 * Lithjang: Female Zandali (Troll) name possibly meaning to protect.
 * Alianin: A name I created for my initial foray into the world of online RP with the Wheel of Time series.

Retired Names

 * Notus: From Greek mythology. God of the South Wind.
 * Lanaria: A name I came up with for a story. Also, a flowering plant found in South Africa.
