If you could bring back any past
character into a roleplay who
would it be and why?
My tiger named Abriella,
because she was the first LKH
character I ever made, she was
fun to play and it would be more
for sentimental reasons than
anything
Name a storyline that you've
had in your head that you've
always wanted to try and bring
to life if you could get enough
people:
Man, that's a tough one...
If you could meet any three
people in real life, who would
they be?
Nick, magik and Charity
You recently went on a huge trip
to New York City, tell us a little
bit about that:
I had a blast! When I got up
there I had no idea what to
expect, all I knew is that we were
going to be helping to restore
and work on some run down
beach houses so a shelter for
abused women and children
from other countries that ran
to America would have places
for these women to stay.
However, when we got there
the people we were working

strangers.
I found out that abuse is
somewhat of the norm in most
of those countries, which is why
the women left and came to the
US.
As I worked with these women
we grew closer because I worked
with them for about 7 hours a
day for 6 days, by the time I left
I had little kids running up to
me hugging me telling me they
love me in their language and in
English!
There were a few women that
felt comfortable enough with me
to tell me a bit about themselves.
One woman lifted up her wig
and whispered to me that she
had breast cancer and her
husband back in Bangladesh
tried to kill her because of it so
she came to America to escape
him.
Another woman told me that
her husband abused her and
