Some words on me Hey! So who is this swedish dude? Well I would descibe myself as a nice guy, very creative and with goofy sense of humour and a huge imagination! I enjoy MMO roleplaying, photoshop art, reading books or watching movies, listening or playing music or hang out with friends and family. I’m also currently a student and studying programming and development for the web, hopefully getting a nice job at a web designer firm when I graduate.

Me and role playing I guess you could say that I’ve always roleplayed, ever since I was a tiny kid who played with all manner of toys or improvised toys, acting out grand battles, epic fights or car races. But my first experience with what is known as the RPG gaming genre would probably have been the first Baldur’s Gate game. I got hooked. After that I played the sequel and the Icewind Dale series, the Fallout series as well. Another long series of games that appealed to my roleplaying self was the Championship Manager series, now called Football Manager. I love taking control of a low level club and act as a manager trying to lead them to the higher levels of competitive football. My first MMO roleplaying experience was Everquest 2, which I joined at launch. The thought of being able to be a part of an consistent and living fantasy world was too exciting to not get involved in. And I loved it. To be able to act as characters that lives and breath in a fantasy world that doesn’t restart when you’ve reached the end of the storyline and killed the last boss like in the single player RPGs, to be able to make your own storylines! Oh the joy! I stayed in Everquest 2 for 2 years before being lured into other games that promised an even grander fantasy world and immersive experience. I’m still looking for that game, not sure where it has gone but I’ll find it eventually.

…. And now the CircleGuardians And now the greatest and friendliest gathering of people online, interested in gaming and roleplaying is my "home" on the internet. When I met the people that make out the original core of this community before it was created online in LoTRO, I knew I found likeminded friends. I am truly happy to be a part of this group of individuals who all seem to share my passion for roleplay, my huge need to vent my imagination and enjoy just friendly communication and small talk with friendly people. I so look forward to our future together and our limitless boundaries as we seek to create the best roleplaying experience known to man!
