Hallo Hallo all you lovelies of DeviantART! I am a Military history enthusiast, collector of antiques and militaria, goth, costumer, Steampunker, and "Soldier-for-hire." Born July 20th, I share my birthday with the dates of both the Stauffenberg Plot AND man's first moon landing. I do love war and everything about it... you may call it an obsession. I also love really, really old stuff.... oh, and I'm a valve addict. Portal, Half-Life, L4D, Team Fortress 2.... yes please!

I'm also currently a member of a local OKW Reenactment unit, and plan on joining a 9th SS and the local 353rd ID units-- and if I have time afterwards, I will get into the Great War.

Dress-up and cosplay is my thing. I'm still getting my photos to "pop," though, as i am quite turned off by copious amounts of photoshop and tend to focus more on the quality and authenticity of one's costume and portrayal of said character. I am NOT here to be someone I am not, or to impress people. I'm just here to be myself and to share my hobbies with the world.
Aside from all these things, I think I was born in the wrong era. What happened to chivalry and honor, and being a gentleman or a lady? What happened to self-restraint and good honest effort?

Ah well.

Last but not least, I'm not a model, nor am I a celebrity. I am no better than anyone here, just doing my best to keep up with the rest! Things that will never change about me as a costumer:

-Place my costume accuracy first, and my physical appearance last.
-Never create my own website.
-Always try to be nice to everyone at and from conventions. (very hard to do sometimes x_x )
-Always avoid drugs and other illegal activities.
-Never sell out.
-Stick to what I like, not what will get me the most attention.
-Say "Haters gonna hate."
