[KitKatGoose]

Name: Kaitlin Wade or Kitkat
Age: 17
Location: Newnan Georgia
Occupations: student
About me: When I'm not doing school I'm either eating, sleeping, playing video games, or making things from video games. Basically I wanna make everything from Halo and Skyrim. I hope to one day make a career out of building things for others once I am confident enough with my skills, because it is my passion. I'm constantly hoping to learn new things and improve my work, and I'm somehow lazy and also a perfectionist??? I dunno how that works but it's true lol. I'm almost done building my own multiplayer Reach armor and then I will complete my friends Reach armor, and she will be sewing our undersuits because sewing is currently my enemie. Halo:Reach is my favorite halo game because it was the first one I became addicted to and the reason I bought an Xbox 360 (which was the best decision ever). Also I really enjoy forcing myself to play halo games on solo legendary because I feel so friggin accomplished after that lol.
Favorite conventions: dragoncon, momocon, anime weekend Atlanta

Age: 38
Where are you located: Port Saint Lucie, Florida
Occupation: Jack of all trades, master of none

[brkiker]

Age: 33
Located in Pensacola, Florida
Occupations: Office janitor, but I've started my own commission services business: Geek Out Studio. You can check it out on Facebook or Instagram.
About Me: The most identifiable and interesting thing about me is that I'm a 3 time kidney transplant patient. I only just started really building props/costumes and going to conventions in the last year, but I've been a geek all my life. The cons that you'll probably see me the most at are the ones in and around the Panhandle area: Pensacon, Mobicon, Geekonomicon. The biggest convention that I usually attend is Dragoncon, but I plan to only attend that every other year My hobbies are video games and tabletop gaming. Currently I'm working on my ODST armor and 40k Space Marine armor.

Thanks for the inclusion, and hope to meet you all in person soon.

Age: 21

Where I am located: Seoul, South Korea (Moving to North Carolina in a few months)

Occupation: U.S. Army

About me: Army has me stationed in South Korea for the next few months. Hobbies include airsoft, video-making, amateur photography, prop design, outdoorsing, video games. Also a bit a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none kind of person. Willing to see why something breaks and make it work again. Planning on building an ODST suit with possible variants(such as a desert, winter, or jungle).

Favourite Conventions: Haven't been to any yet, but willing to travel a bit to go to one once I return the the States

 

[RobTC]

Name: Rob Taylor (eventually to be Taylor-Case, hence TC, but paperwork is effort)

Age: 25... I think? I pay no attention.

Where your located: Roanoke, VA. I hit Greensboro, NC a few times a year too, sometimes for work, sometimes for family.

Occupations: Commercial and headshot photographer, technical and instructional writer, screen and print designer. (I usually shorten to Photographer/designer/writer!) From the looks of things I'll soon be adding "propmaker" to that list.

About you: My degree's in Physics, which clearly has nothing to do with anything I do, except maybe some of the technical writing. I moved from northern England to the US just after Christmas 2012. I don't really do much gaming any more other than a little of what I can get on Steam here and there, but Halo and its EU holds a similar position in my heart to Tolkien. I originally started propmaking to have another direction for the photography, like commercial advertising, but it seems to have taken a life of its own.

Favorite Conventions: Looks to be Dragon*Con, but I have no idea when I'll get there. Eventually, probably.
