 Poll: What ethnicity should Shepard be in my story, Mass Effect: Indomitable? (No Racism intended, I'm Asian myself) Vote Now! |
 Author has written 4 stories for Halo, Call of Duty, and Mass Effect. Hello, world! I'm a 17-year-old from Hong Kong, studying in Southern California. I've always been interested in writing (and editing), and have been browsing this site in search of exhilarating reads. I am a huge fan of video games, and try to set some time away for playing the big titles. (Bioshock Infinite was amazing!) I have to admit I am a Halo freak, although I am not well versed with the new Forerunner arc that ties in with Halo 4. Anyway, don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the Halo universe and want to check some facts out. Anyway, hope you enjoy my stories. Happy reading. A quick rundown of all my stories: Mass Effect: Indomitable is my current brainchild, with a bunch of chapters already written and ready to be proofread and overhauled. I've been entertaining the idea of a story about an OC for a while now in the ME verse, and with the Citadel DLC and a host of multiplayer-based fics that are popping up I've finally been inspired to make it happen. Updates regularly, check it out. Call of Duty- Modern Warfare 2: The Awakening is a little story that I had brewing in my head a while back. It details Ramirez being pulled out of the reserves to fight the war against Russia, and how he finds the entire experience. It also gives some much needed personal history to his character, I think. Updates slow, but I'm still working on it! Halo - One Big Hellhole tells the story of a lone ODST left after a freak drop that leads to the loss of his entire squad. Unfortunately I've stopped working on this one, so if you enjoy some quick action, drop by and take a look. Heavily action based. Call of Duty - A Day at the Beach is definitely the fic I'm most proud of. It's something that I could see Roach (or any other soldier, for that matter) dealing with, and I figured that I should give it a shot at trying to put it into words. It's Roach missing and remembering his mother. Oneshot. Please, don't hesitate to PM me if you simply want to chat! Cheers. Daarb123 | |||||||
