My real name is classified, but for the time being, just call me Cypher.

I am 21 years old, and proud of it. I am also female, contrary to popular belief. (so stop calling me a guy, damnit.)

I've got a genius I.Q, hidden by a streak of madness. I think it adds to my image, if I even have an image. :P

I find entertainment in writing and breaking codes (as my pen name implies), and discovering the hidden links between seemingly unconnected facts, such as the fact that the name "Otto Octavius" means "eight" in 2 different languages... (Italian and Latin, respectively, and I'm not making this up.)

My likes: Anything involving Dr. Otto Octavius, working on my art/fiction, winter, talking to my friends on the computer, Artemis Fowl, A Series Of Unfortunate Events (Klaus Baudelaire FTW), The Matrix, the Maximum Ride series, Team Fortress 2 (BLU Team and Medic FTW), among too many other things too list.

My hates: the Twilight Saga, all of High School Musical, country music, gangsta rap, people who insult my intelligence, music that sounds like Disney stars sung it, Nazis (and anyone who supports them), summer (too damn hot), and a crapload of other things that I can't remember offhandedly.

Random Stuff About Me:

I have entirely too many usernames online (I count at least eight thus far.)

I'd have to say my 3 favorite bands, in order, would have to be Linkin Park, Disturbed, and My Chemical Romance. However, I can listen to just about anything.

Yes, I am, in fact, a fan of Dr. Carolyn Trainer; the female Doctor Octopus. You can kiss my ass if you disagree. :P

In TF2, I am firmly sided with Builders League United. RED can eat my shorts.

I will kick your ass for insulting my fandoms as a way to get to me. I once beat a guy with my school binder over this so badly the binder was useless afterwards.

I eat Nazis for breakfast. Seriously, though. I can't stand them. At all.

Furthermore, if you're someone who thinks that all Germans are Nazis, feel free to get the hell off my page. Or at the very least, keep this belief to yourself. I will not tolerate it.

I'm the world's only professional smartass. I have a Ph.D in sarcasm.

In real life, I'm:

Going to be returning to college, with the ultimate goal of obtaining my PhD in meteorological science.

Online, I'm:

DeviantART's resident mad scientist, where I go by the name of OcksFusionReaction

An author on www.fictionpress.com (name there is The Infamous Black Valkyrie; formerly The Streetwise Scientist)

The co-creator of an Ock fan club on dA. It's called The Ock Masters, in case anyone wants to check it out.

The co-creator of an OC (Original Character, that is) club on dA; The OCs Of dA.

A professional BLU Medic in Team Fortress 2 by the name of The Inimitable E. Cypher.

Cypher, out.
