User:Jarod997

This is me. My handle is Jarod997, my real name is Paul and I live in Ottawa, Canada - where the Polar Bear and Igloos are, just not in my part of the country. Go north, waaay north. New York is a 1 hour drive south of me, Michigan is about 8 hours west.

User
I'm a Software Engineer, (University) and an Aerospace Manufacturing Technician (College). I work at a plant that makes aircraft parts and assemblies for various OEM's. I'm also a volunteer paramedic with St. John Ambulance.

In recent news, my wife and I had our first baby on Wed Feb 25, 2009 at 2020h (EST, GMT +5), Alyssa Grace, weighing 5lbs 15oz (2700 g). Looks like a possible Templar here... ;)

About me and my alts. I have a bad(?) habit of making alts and ignoring my main (and other alts). One thing I love about (the original EQ and) EQ2 is the great variety of toons. If I invested all the time from all the alts I've tried and put that into my main, I would have been 80-80 by now. Oh well, it's all fun. I've tried to pare things down to the main and alts I have listed here and keep it that way... unless something like a guild event happens where we all create new toons and do a raid on, um, Splitpaw, ya, that's it. Heh. ;) I've always wanted to do a raid with extra low level toons, just for kicks. Oh well, if the guild ever wanted more of a certain class I would not be opposed to creating a new toon just to see what things are like. Jarod997 18:02, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Main - Cistilya
I've always had a thing for gnomish wizards, and tinkerking. My Cistilya Ogreburner in EQ1 (on Veeshan, then Luclin servers) was a great tinkerer and was credited with the servers first Collapsible Brewing Device. Dang, the thing cost me (then) 5k to make, but they sold! Heh, I think I sold my first one at 9k... not bad. But then again, portable brewing... that just rocks!

We've had a good guild, but lately it's seemed to have fallen appart. I would like the opportunity to spend some time with other guild members before I consider switching. And remember, Shop smart, shop S-Mart!

Aloaph
I created Aloaph initially to be a plat maker, which to some extent has worked. The other interest is the melee/plate class. He's fun.

Aloaph has had the fortune of wearing nothing but Mastercrafted plate, so far. And might I add that the Blackened Iron set looks really cool on a Kerran.

Beaufort Windscale
I haven't really met anyone yet who's caught on to the name...

Credited with one crafting Server Discovery, of which I can't remember what it was.

Papageno
I created Papageno as a side interest. My brother created a Halfling Ranger and we often play them together when we get bored of our mains, or they're otherwise occupied (eg logged with 25 minutes of a tradeskill potion remaining).

Again, don't think I've run into someone yet who's commented on the name, (other than my brother). Then again, Papageno hasn't gotten out much only being 12ish. Jarod997 18:39, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Zipporah Lightwing
I wanted a healer, and this one wears plate... can't beat that.

Lately I've been levelling her tradeskill. Now hopefully I can make a bit of profit on selling arrows and other throwing weapons. Along the way, I've decorated her room a tad. It's done up in a musical stage/theatre motif. I think it's really neat.
