“He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.”
-Lao Tzu

Knowledge, properly applied, is power.
Scientia, recte applicari, est potentia.

Hello, my name is Alek, though I go by Dairegh, which is a corruption of the Gaelic name Dáire (pronounced like dairy, as in the produce).
I'm a gamer, a prolific fanfiction reader and a casual writer.
I'm also rather lazy, with a somewhat lacking sense of dedication to projects that I start, at least without somebody there to push me. So, yeah... Don't expect speedy updates. You'll only frustrate yourself.

A few of my favorite fandoms are: Worm, Dresden Files, Harry Potter, The Gamer, RWBY and Percy Jackson of Olympus. There are plenty of others, but those are the topmost few.

"You haven't known terror until you've had a grizzly eat sushi off of your naked chest." -Captain Chris W, on the subject of pants-shitting terror. Possibly from personal experience, we're still not sure.
