Name is Kuroi Okami(loose japanese translation: Black Wolf) an original fic writer, college student, artist, and a dye-in-the-wool gamer.

For hobbies, I spend most of my spare time PC gaming, adding onto my original stories, working on my art and concepts, or reading a good book. My main reads are manga, dark & deep graphic novels(Sandman, Hellblazer, the Crow), and miscellaneous books.

I'm male, going to college to double major in Sequential Art and Animation, and willing to go out of my way to frag n00bs online who whine about snipers being cheap and that base raping isn't a legit strategy. My art is inspired by a lot by stuff found in the fantasy genre, RPG reference books, and some mythology. Recently, I've been more taken into science fiction genre and making original characters. Often, I use RPG character sheets (d20 modern,D&D) to help plan out what a character will be like in nature. As an FYI, I toss in allusions to mythological gods, creatures,classic literature, and a lot of symbolism to old archtypical concepts.

I abhor school work, exams, online n00bs, people who diss art/anime/video games when they haven't tried it, senseless grammar checking in Word, computer crashes, rain when I'm feeling down, and lastly, those who think conformism is the best thing in the world.

Walk your own path, find your own beat in the rhythm of life, and be like water, adapt to live and learn.
