Hello everyone! I'm the Western Dragoon (obviously). In basic terms, I'm a passionate gamer, former soldier and musician, and currently aiming to make an overarching story revolving around dragons, my own species type that I'm working on, and trying to reform the idea of time travel in people's minds.
I've been a game lover through most my life, getting introduced to it at the age of about 5 by my half-siblings. Since then, it's been a passion for me and I've always wanted to turn it into a career. That passion still exists and I would love to someday be a professional player of Vanguard Zero, as that's my current passion project right now besides my writing that's upcoming.
I was interested in music since about 5th grade when I started playing. I only played one instrument though; the baby tuba, a.k.a the Euphonium (like a baritone just with one more valve).
My military life was short lived to say the least. For reasons I can explain more in a PM if you want, I was discharged in training, but I was enlisted in the National Guard for over a year total, so when I was discharged I was considered a veteran. You'll hardly hear me reference it like that though. I feel it's a title reserved to those who went through a LOT more than I did.
The reason I was discharged from the army was some pretty severe depression. I mention this because I want to offer my help to anyone who needs it. I'm not going to act like I can fix the problem, if anything can really fix it entirely, but I will help you find the help you need as best I can and I'll always try to be open to talk/rant to. I also hope that my stories eventually can inspire some hope within people because the concepts therein can both be very overwhelming, but also very uplifting, as these concepts helped me through a rough time in my own life.
As far as what brought me, (or more accurately what brought me back) to DeviantART, years ago I created some laughably silly fan-fiction which I posted on a separate account. All the same, after all this time and looking back, they had potential. Sadly though, in a blind depression, I removed the account with all those files on it from Deviantart. While it's sad those files are gone now, it gave me the base I needed to be able to come back now and try my hand at writing some of my own personal work (which was based off dragons in my Flight Rising collection but I'm slowly but surely making independent from that site).
My last previous experience in the gaming community was being the manager of about a 1,000 member strong group on Steam, (now disbanded) known as For N00bs by N00bz, that helped new players in TF2 and other Steam games, and server management with the same group. I've had a ranked top of Legend 33 within Vanguard Zero, and I hope to someday be within the top 100 if I can generate a stable income at some point.
Finally, I'd like to make it very clear that I am wholly open to political discussion on my page or in private messages as long as you can be respectable about it, going after ideas instead of the people who believe in them (where possible). If you'd like a full explanation of the way I intend to address these discussions, you can take a look at the link to one of my journals below (bottom section discusses politics)

And with that, you now know way more than you ever wanted to know about me I'm sure! XD At any rate thanks for reading through this. My main site is on Steam, but the main way you can contact me is through Skype.
The ID is a commission from my good friend Jaden. The Link is down below so you can check him out.

Hey, hi, hello, I just wanted to drop by and say thank you for the follow! (Aaaaand sorry I haven't come by sooner, I had taken a break from social media lately so didn't see the notification until I actually went on my computer and scrolled through my stuff.)
Anyways, I hope you have an awesome day nonetheless and thanks again!
No worries. I end up taking long breaks sometimes too so I totally get that. <3 Take care. ^_^
