Name: Lily Michelle
Gender: Female
Home: MI even though i'm currently living in IN

I joined TLSC at the release of DoW when i got to know several members of the command. I wound up getting to know them because i found members of TLSC to be some of the few teammates ic ould count on at the start of DoW. after a little while it was suggested i put in an app and within an hour i had the required recc's :D

I have a LONG history in gaming. My first system ever was an atari (i forget exactly which) and i started in the days of joust, defender and asteroids. I then got my nintendo and it was from then on i've been hooked. i have many fond memories of playing contra and super contra listening to Zrock 95.1 with my much older brother. After that came a sega genesis and more contra, goldenaxe, cyborg justice and much much more. A while later we got our first computer, and i pretty much left the console arena. The very first PC game i got hooked on was an old MUD (still around actually!) known as Gemstone 3. i used to wrack up 100 a month AOL bills. I continued to grow more and more into PC games and have actually never owned a PS1 or N64.to this day i only own a PS2 because i won it in a contest at work.
Nowadays i can be found playing Counterstrike quite a bit, and World of Warcraft.

I grew up with my father after my mom passed at 10, my brother was only a half brother so i only knew him on weekends. most of my life was pretty plain, although at a young age i learned a love for hockey. I suffered through chronic depression throughout most of my highschool years, due to a fallout with my father, problems at school, and to other personal reasons i didn't realise until after highschool. My senior year i realised one of my life's dreams and spent 4 months in japan as an exchange student, but due to several more problems i spent most of that time still depressed. I loved the country, just not my circumstances. After i returned home, my father had a heart attack shortly before my 18th Bday, and became permanently brain damaged and lives in a nursing home in missouri. Since that day, except for brief times with my ex girlfriend and my best friend, i have lived on my own. I recently came to indianapolis because of a cheaper cost of living here, and that pretty much leads us up to present day.

Other hobbies besides video games include reading, role-playing, sewing, skating, hockey, and writing. I write mostly fantasy work but have done several stories in other genre's including a matrix story and a warhammer 40k story for TLSC i'm working on now. My dream is to one day design video games, particularly storylines, but for now is onhold while i take care of other things before i go back to college.

well not sure what else to add. thanks for reading through all that! :)

Off to sleepy time now.

Hey Hey! My dreams of composing might be somewhere in there then. If I ever make it in, and in far enough as to be scoring video games, I'll remember you. These kinds of jobs are hard to come across without knowing people, eh? I'll read your stories :D. Sounds good though. I'm jealous you spent time in Japan. I've only been for a couple days, though one of my cousins lived there for a year. You really a Mai Hime fan? I find it's so-so. Someone died though, so maybe it's getting better :P

Edits : Cyborg Justice...was that the game where you killed other robots, ripped their arms off and such and used them for yourselves? It WAS wasn't it? Great genesis game. And yes, Contra is the best shootey thing ever. Probably. Shattered Skies (or whatever it was called) was great. I was a big contra guy myself way back when. I could beat them all without losing a life. Lol. NO it wasn't really that much practice. Just talent for avoiding pea like bullets. I hate peas :D
