Dynamic Entry!

Howdy, kind lads and lasses. As per the prophecies foretold by the ancients, I have come. Now things will never be the same.
I bring with me tidings of good will and gifts of random data that may or may not provide useful insight into the mystery that is Maokun:
-He's an anime veteran. Which mostly means that he'll shake a walking stick in your general direction, ranting that none of your newfangled anime can possibly compare to classics like Seton no Banner, Arbegas and Heidi of the Alps. Then he'll sneak away to giddily follow the adventures of Naruto when no one is watching.
-He pretends to be a conosseisur of everything anime. He'll talk extensively about series and movies you haven't even heard about while scoffing at you for favoring mainstream series, then will end most sentences with "the manga was far superior, nevertheless". He'll also invariably call series by their japanese names and raise an eyebrow if you pronounce "anim-ay". In other words, he's a hipster poseur. Also, now he wishes he hadn't mentioned his abherrant fondness for Naruto in the previous point. Very smooth, Maokun.
-While he has a soft spot for japanese narrative, his true passion is storytelling as a whole. As long as it has a good setting, character depth and compelling storytelling, he'll be a sucker for it, no matter the media. Books, Comics, Videogames, Movies, Interpretative Dance, you name it. He can enter into full Suspension of Desbelief mode at will, in about 0.62 seconds. He also fancies to think of himself a bit of a storyteller. Fantastic worlds spins inside his head and now he's honing his writing skills to some day be able to give them shape into our world. Whether he'll succeed at it, the prophecies don't mention it.
-He's a Christian, loves God and the Bible but is in no very friendly terms with the Church and other christians, after many experiences too depressing or ridiculous to recall to memory. However, he loves to have his beliefs challenged by science and philosophy, though he still has to hear something that really shakes his conviction and he doubts there will ever be. Please feel encouraged to prove him wrong if you believe so, as he loves to argue, provided the argument is kept polite and respectful and hopefully intelligent. ("LOLOL!!1 u believe in b1g magical guy in sky ROFL ur stupid" theses shall be met with scorn and not dignified with an answer.)
-Seeing all his love for videogames, sci-fi and fantasy, he realizes he's a huge nerd but at least he tries to be cynical and/or hypocritical about it. However, he'd like to reassure you that he's not an extremely obese man complete with nachos breath and neckbeard, clad in a sailormoon outfit and stalking hacker skills. Really.
-He believes that third-person writing can grow old quick and that this introduction is already long enough, so further factoids will be provided probably later if there's demand for them.

I see Tsukuyomi has one, is this some sort of discrimination against us newbies? *shakes revolutionary fist* I refuse to use a non animated avatar in a board dedicated to japanese animation.
) You'll fit right in here!
