My real name is Kurt. I live in California. I'm a graphic artist, by day (sinister super-villian by night). I'm a skosh older than the median age here, but since the doctors tell me I have the capacity of a six-year-old, it all works out. 6'5", 285lbs. (of pure chisled muscle.) I used to be a cool character. I used to play in a great band, and wear a suit, meet fast women and chat them up, drink martinis and dance all night. It's been awhile.

Balaam Xumucane is a character from an episodic science fiction story I've been working up to shooting (Mid-2002.) A while back I did a search online for other people who were creating science fiction universes, to get ideas about how to make my own. I came a cross Frank's Distant Horizon link, and poking around, wound up here. It was amazing to see people analyzing Star Trek so closely and critically, and I realized that here was a group of my target audience. Initially I was just gonna, try to make some friends here to have them check out the science and backstory for the show, but that hasn't really happened, yet. I've been having a great time talking about Star Trek and the science-fiction genres.

I don't want to shamelessly plug here, but if people are interested, I would love to get some feedback on it. It's called 'Our Place In The Shadows', and it's like a shadowy dystopian Star Trek with loads of conspiracies, turmoil, and even some magic. After seeing how well this board worked, I even put up my own message board. Anyway, if anyone is interested in helping me out, here's the link.

Right now the password 'tiberius' will get you all the way in. That will change at some point, so if you'd like a custom login go ahead and email me [email protected] .
