About 7 months officially, though i think i was accepted as a Dragoon long before that.

MxO, Guild Wars, City of Heroes, 12sky

What type of work do you do?
I'm an electronic design engineer, for a central heating company.

What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most?
My dad really, brought me and my brother a spectrum when we were younger and i have been a Nintendo gamer for the best part of my life from NES to Gamecube i don't much like the wii though too gimmicky. Generally my gaming preference is FPS & Racing sims though my favorite game series are Resident Evil and Final Fantasty so fairly broad to be honest.

What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other then playing with the Dragoons?
I'm an avid football fan and play 5-a-side with some work colleagues and a Moderator on Offsideref.com football forums, I'm a Green belt in Hop-kuin-do kickboxing for which i have won 2 adult light continuous contact competitions and been disqualified for excessive contact twice Shocked. My other passion is cars, before the mention of baby's i used to attend quite a few trackday's and drive my car at various tracks in the UK and abroad most famously The Nurburgring My Youtube channel.

What is your highest character level in the games your a Dragoon in?
Mattku Level 50 - MxO [top level]
Ouroboros of Zion Level 20 - Guild Wars [top level]

How or why did you choose your main character's name?
My forum handle for most things is M@Robson i wanted to use that but @ is an unsupported character in MxO, i then tried a few other names but all were taken, out of frustration and desperation to actually play the game i combined matt with ku from Goku from Dragonball and Mattku was born

What class have you been in various MMOs?
Mattku is a Martial artist in MxO, I also have a level 42 Gunman named the stig. In guild wars i am a ranger.

How would you describe your gaming style?
I play to have fun but when things hot up i take things seriously, i suppose my jovial attitude towards life could be seen as a weakness but i disagree.

What rank are you in the faction, and what do you bring?
I am a Grand Marshal (Rank 2) i bring whatever i can to the faction. I wont refuse assistance to a fellow faction mate.

What is your favorite moment as a Dragoon?
Hmmmm difficult to say i guess when MxO was thriving probably before i was officially a Dragoon and i was the faction leader of ouroboros the PvP sessions we used to team up in then were some of my fondest moments of action in MxO, but i like how we are our own community we give off a persona of negativity to outsiders but inside we are a brotherhood. My proudest moment was winning my first tournament people really take note when you win something.

What do you like best about the Dragoons?
The trust and friendship we have between us all.

If you had to pick one thing to describe the Dragoons, what would it be?
A loyal friendly group of players, it has been a pleasure to share MxO gaming moments with you all and i'm sure of moments in the future.
