Title: Long needed introduction
Post by: Leganoth on 2011-08-31, 04:39:49

Leganoth here. Going to give info so people know where I am and such.

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001814667219 (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001814667219)  This is my facebook feel free to add me, i dont upload many pictures though.

I live in souther California in the LA area, i am currently 16 almost 17, aside from collecting medieval items and armors i play computer games and xbox games. This year i may possibly be going to anime expo dressed up, if you like anime look up pics you may see me in the background :) but its not positive if im going my sister just invited me. I will be going to the Ren faire this year dressed up. Last year we saw the youtube star shane daweson there. I bought a leather coinpurse, was the best archer at the archery range and paid 20 dollars for 70 throwing axes to throw at targets, only about 5 actually stuck..

Currently my kit consists of
-Bucket helm
-chain hauberk
-1 leg of chainmail chausses
-chainmail coif
-medieval padded shirt (its not a gabeson just a short with a little cotton padding in it)
-medieval leather belt pouch
-cosmetic elf ears. (i love elves)
-a bad sword, not sharp, loose blade
-a dagger, was giving to me free condition is flattened tip not very sharp, the hilt is just metal with fake sapphire looking gems
-modern day hunting crossbow 150 lbs
-hunting longbow (unstrung) its very old it was my fathers fathers bow, never used it, i got it from my brother

I would buy a medieval style crossbow but with the sensitve trigger and no safety i do not trust myself and theyre more expensive and hard to find bolts for.

I am a very good archer, i havent fenced in years but i was good. I plan to get a job at medieval times as a squire to begin with then be trained as a knight (if anyone knows about working there inform please)

But right now I am still in highschool as a junior

Well met! There was a "behind the scenes at medieval times" video on Youtube a while back that may still be there, which told about working there. All of the knights start as squires, and everyone literally "works their way up" the ladder. It seems a fun place to work.

Medieval Times does a six week training regimen for their jousters or so I was told....my wife checks their wanted lists from time to time for me.  She was doing this long before she ever told me she was....what a great wife, no?
