This page serves the purpose of a lot of the world's homepages - little graphics and certificates that are supposed to define us. They're fun, I guess, but generally worthless. For me, that means delegating them to subpages.

HEADQUARTERS: 601 3RD ST., MODESTO, CALIF. 95351 (209) 527-8111

What this means: since 18 Aug 1996, I have been a Reverend in the Universal Life Church, a non-denominational Christian church that believes in freedom of choice and religion - anybody is welcome, regardless of sex, race, sexual orientation, or, interestingly, religion. It's one of the best Christian things the world has ever seen. And it means I get to absolve people of their sins and occasionally marry them to each other.

Not much to say about this. I've moved around encryption, and that made me a felon, technically. This seemed like a good idea at the time.

Black Spathi Squadron

[ Black Spathi Squadron]

Star Control II is still my favorite game of all time. The Spathi were the most cowardly and the most powerful of the races. I loved 'em. I wrote fan fiction about them. And so I'm still willing to be fannish about this one thing.

You were born under the Ur-Quan Arc, during the Alliance Cycle.



Your Year Sign -

Arilou Lalee'layYear of the Arilou Lalee'lay

Balance : *Above*

There is something a little mystical about Arilou. They dress ostentatiously, but well, and they almost always have a knowing smirk across their faces. They are quick-witted, very compassionate, and almost clairvoyant when it comes to understanding. Their main trait, however, is their wisdom. Arilou will sit down and truly think out all the pros and cons of every situation so as to arrive at an informed solution. This often makes them indecisive, or at least not willing to face a problem until it is fully considered. Impulsiveness does not come easily to Arilou.

Strangely, extravagance is another trait of Arilou. Although they might spend a week in considering how to approach the boss for a raise, they will go out and waste a great deal of money on a selection of chocolates and a new wardrobe. Arilou do not like being surrounded by mundanity and ill-fortune so enjoy reminding themselves at every opportunity that that is not what is around them.

Laziness is the only real flaw of Arilou. They have great difficulty in getting motivated to do what needs to be done, and invariably they use their positions as advisors - good advisors though they are - to get others to do the real work.

Arilou are essentially wise and intelligent thinkers with style and a phobia of work.

ALLIANCE Arilou emphasise their wisdom.
NEUTRAL Arilou emphasise their extravagance and quick-wit.
HIERARCHY Arilou emphasise their intelligence and laziness.

Arilou can have informative relationships with Earthlings since there is a lot each can learn about the worlds of the other. Mutual but distant respect is held between Chenjesu and Arilou, but understanding and connection can be had with Yehat. Avoid Pkunk as their outlook clashes with yours, and avoid Mmrnmhrm - your counsel is not welcome.



Your Inner Sign -

Ur-Quan Kohr-AhUr-Quan Kohr-Ah

Ultron Piece : Aqua Helix Aqua Helix
Spatial Element : RealSpace

Kohr-Ah at first don't tend to garner interest. From afar, they seem mysterious, reserved, sensitive, shy. Until you get to know them, Kohr-Ah are almost insignificant, which suits them fine. However, get close to them, friend, family, or lover, and they can really grab your attention.

Kohr-Ah make good leaders. They tend to be magnetic people who attract others to their banner. When the need arises, they show fantastic charisma, and they know how corral unproductive members into aiding the group. They are also fiercely dedicated to whatever cause they take up, and they will pursue it with bloody-mindedness until their deaths. They are also willing to accept responsibility, and are often the perfect people in which to trust authority.

Unfortunately, there is a violent streak in Kohr-Ah. In their dedication they can show signs of disturbing fanaticism, following their causes for much further than is healthy. They are also quite merciless in their decisions, and, unlike someone simply careless, realise what effects their actions have on others. Thus, sadism is often another Kohr-Ah trait, and enjoyment of other people's misfortune and pain can darken the normally wonderful Kohr-Ah mentality.

Kohr-Ah have an amazing ability to attract others, they love mystery, act impulsively or on reflex, and take revenge seriously.

This site is probably the best astrological description of me I've ever seen. Or I'm just too addicted to Star Control.
