Join Date (current board): June 12, 2008
Birthday: November 24
Relationship Status: Single (And not looking at the moment)
Location: Kentucky (Poke fun at your own risk)
Home State/Country: Central Kentucky (USA)
How He Found Mercury Ice: Followed Crystal Shards from FESS one day.
Short Biography: Ethan was born in Kentucky USA, and actually plans on staying there. He loves to travel, but would never want to move away. Most of his younger life was spent outdoors on ten acres of land owned by his grandparents, and he learned to swim before he could walk. Since elementary school though, he's been tainted by technology, and his [yet undecided] career will assuredly be in a technologically based field. His favourite subject though, is History, and if he could have any job in the world, it would be as a curator of a museum. He is still in school, but has only his senior year left.
Interesting facts: Ethan is 6' 5" (~195.5 cm) tall, as is the character whose name he uses as an alias across the internet: Zeth. Zeth/Ethan is a high ranking member of a RolePlay organization called the Freikorps, which Ethan is more than sanely attached to. He is the Root Administrator of his own forums called the Comm.
