The twisted mind behind [[Mongo]], aka Steve, aka El Stevo, aka Lemmingness, aka Hey You, is currently suffering in exile in Canada's Capital Swamp, pursuing a Masters in Chemistry at the University of Ottawa, and is this -->|  |<-- close to submitting his thesis.  For those that care, it involves the photogeneration of silver nanoparticles in magnetic fields.

Steve's actually from British Columbia (which is nowhere near French Columbia), and misses his mountains and semi-desert and merely cold (as opposed to stupidly eyeball-freezing cold) winters .

Steve's first exposure to this whole swords and sorcery schtick was playing Hero Quest at a friend's house in Grade 7 way back in 1993.  This progressed to AD&D at a different friend's house in Grade 10 (1995 or so) and online roleplaying on [[dalNet]] in Grade 11ish (1997).  Steve discovered [[Role-Play|FFRP]] in The Laughing Dragon, and soon moved on to The Silver Blade Tavern, and created the immortal, endearing, incredibly sexy [[Mongo]].  So memorable was Mongo that when Steve showed up out of the mists of cyberspace years later in a different channel on a different network, people still remembered ol' Mongo. (Fun fact: Mongo was created completely by accident 'cause a notice from one of the network services showed up in the wrong window).

Where was I?  Oh yeah...during his TSBT tenure, Steve was made an Op by Founder fiat (historians are still puzzling over exactly what happened), then migrated to Darkshade Hall after some unpleasantness involved coups and channel registration and some things he didn't really understand at the time.  Apathy kicked in, combined with Steve moving away from home for eight months to work Coop and leaving the computer behind.  Serendipity, however, struck fairly recently in a comment thread on someone else's LiveJournal, and Steve was persuaded to rejoin the insanity *waves at [[Kayness|Channe]]*.  Steve would also like to make clear that he only reads LJs of people he knows in hopes of seeing his name mentioned.

Steve currently has no active permanent characters other than [[Mongo]] (who doesn't really count), but [[Goethite]] and [[Lemmus]] (long stories, don't ask) and [[Belladonna Shadestrike Starwater]] (even longer story, really don't ask) have all been seen around the tavern.  Hopefully they'll grow beyond one-joke caricatures.

All right, show's over, move along.
