Hello, fellow knights. My name, or at least the one I go by, is Sir Sorbus.
About a year ago, I started out a secret order of knighthood called "The Order of New Chivalry", with a very similar goal as what I have seen in my brief skimming of this site; To restore a semblance of chivalry to a world much in need of it, and with the side-goal of also encouraging the true, romantic side of love that is so rare in the world today. In my order, I currently have 3 fellow knights, who I have advised to also register; They are Sir Alnus, Sir Fraxinata, and Lady Heather.
More recently, now that our order had gained a level of direction and strength, I started a more public branch on a Tumblr page, through which we hope to spread the good Samaritan spirit to the general public in the form of a slightly less traditional chivalry.
More on that here: http://theorderofnewchivalry.tumblr.com/ (http://theorderofnewchivalry.tumblr.com/)
As an introduction on me personally: I am 17, Australian, and have lived here all my life. I am an Epee fencer, though admittedly still quite new at it. I am a Christian, though with some outlandish and unorthodox views, and I accept and and friends with others of all faiths and beliefs, despite not necessarily agreeing with their views. I am a university student, in my first year of a Nanotechnology degree, in the hopes of assisting in finding an end to all cancer. I hope to one day move to Holland, where some of my best friends and fellow knights are situated. I do not own any steel armour, or medieval style swords, but instead have my epee, as a slightly more practical and renaissance alternative. That being said, I would be very open to the idea of getting my own swords and armour, had I the money to spare (which I don't, being a full-time student). I LOVE fantasy, my favourite series being The Belgariad, and am a writer myself - though not published just yet. I also have Asperger's Syndrome, to which a lot of my mild obsessions, such as chivalry and fantasy, are attributed. I also love what little ancient Celtic heritage is still available to this day, and accordingly love trees and nature - often to the point of being called an Elf, due to my habit of spending time up trees. I think that about sums it up. I hope to get to know the rest of you well.

Welcome to the forum, Sir Sorbus - have a look around, get to know some of the other knights and squires...it is always good to have newcomers visit with us!

Hail and well met Sir Sorbus and welcome to the forums! I find it most excellent and praise you and your brethren and sister in your order for such worthy aspirations. May the Lord bless you and your Order in all that you do.
In addition to Longsword I also train with the dueling epee and Italian dueling saber at my WMA School which also offers training in the Italian rapier and French small sword. Here’s to the hope someday we’ll have a chance to train together. :)

Welcome!
I too have Aspergers Syndrome and am in my... 16th? year of college.
As you live down under have you gotten a hold of your local SCA group in the Kingdom of Lochac? I have some contacts down there to help you if you like (Australia used to be part of the SCA kingdom I live in).
