Sarkiran - the character
Sarkiran is the name of a character in one of my stories. The stories are coming along slowly, with the first one posted 30JAN2002. Sarkiran is an anthro dragon. He stands at 7' 2" (8' even including wingtips). The picture below is somewhat old, and when I get a better picture of him done, it will be put here. He's a creature of discipline, like most dragons are, and a fighter. While his skills make him a better tactician, he still dreams of being a fighter without equal. He is the first born of the Burning Bloods sept, but left the sept to train with the World Alliance in one of their academies.
Sarkiran - the human
Well, not human by choice :). Back in college, I went by a couple different names - Finder, Thaos, MiKill. . . but when I started MUDing and MUSHing (I still have fond memories of PernMUSH), I came up with Sarkiran. Nowadays, a lot of my friends call me Sark for short, even in RL ^_^. I moved up to Austin back in 1998 and have been here ever since. It's a great place to live, with the exception of the job market. Up until October of 2001 I held a job with one of those Pre-IPO tech companies here. I was outsourced, but a few weeks before I was supposed to get canned they offered to keep me onboard. I decided to accept the generous package and catch up on life for a while. I've spent the time getting in shape, sorting through all the life I missed in the 1.5 years I was there, and finding myself. I gave up on artisitic pursuits in November of 1999, and only recently have gotten back into drawing and writing. IMHO, my work is currently all crap. I have a long ways to go to get back what I lost, but I will not be deterred.I've been through a lot of life's ups and downs. As it stands now, I've gone lone wolf and live alone. It's a simple existance. I chose it for a couple reasons, one of them being self-honesty. If you can life with yourself, looking at yourself in a mirror with no destractions and learn who you are, you really can handle all that life can throw at you. I have learned many lessons this way, and with those lessons learned, I'm going back out into the world and finding people with common interests. Through life, we task ourselves with learning who we are, but only by relating to others can we truly find ourselves. Ah, one day soon I'll be putting up a philosophy page. Seems to be one way I can best explain all of this in one place ^^;.
The greatest challenge I have overcome is finally excepting a fact about myself that I had pushed down for years. I'm gay. Early in my life, I had these feelings I could never understand. When I finally heard a name for them, they were something that was harrassed and explained as evil. I kept it inside, covered it up with schoolwork and academic achievement. In the end, it took looking myself in the mirror and deciding if I wanted to live in denial and unhappiness forever. I said no. I've not out of the closet to the world, though. I have told my closest friends, and am fortunate that they are understanding enough to accept it. A few, however, prove to be harder to relate to, but in time I hope they see that my nature doesn't change our friendships.
Well, that's enough about me. Browse the site and see what else is here. Enjoy!
