[color=black]Phantomgraph[/color] Phan'tom-gr[.a]f
1) The Nom de Plume (pen name) of a certain odd anthro artist that specializes in Dragons, science fiction and confusing the crap out of everyone. The name is derived from it's French and Greek root phrases :
Phantom - That which has only an apparent existence; an apparition; a specter; a phantasm; a sprite; an airy spirit; an ideal image.
Graph - A suffix signifying something written (as in {digraph}), a writing; also, a writer or an instrument that produces a written or visible record of a measurement, such as a spectrograph; as, autograph, crystograph, telegraph, photograph.
-from 1913 Webster
Thus a Phantomgraph is a visual and or written representation of things that do not apparently exist.
Have a look at his wiki entry here on SoFurry for more confusion! };8>

Phantomgraph[/color]: As it says above, I go by the handle / Internet name / nick Phantomgraph, or PG for short. Around here I'm an occasional author and artist but mostly I'm the guy that bangs on the SoFurry's wiki pages and the lead user support fur. So if you have a question or something about the site just open a ticket, we actually do read each and every one!
Other than around here I'm a person of many odd talents. I've worked in fast food restaurants and gas stations, programmed simulators for nuclear reactors (not kidding here), started and ran my own ISP for several years, wired houses, cars and satellite receivers, worked for a large bank on mortgages, pulled weeds at a tree farm and built hydraulic boom trucks and digger derricks. (The trucks that put telephone poles in the ground.)
Currently I'm a professional student studying geographic information systems at my state university while my mate
All of my home computers run Linux by default, thou I have one version or another of winblows on both my laptops that I boot into every couple of months just to see how long it will take for MS to install it's updates. *snore* Oddly thou, I don't have anything against MS or Apple, except I have to pay for their stuff. But enough about boring stuff.
[color=black]Falcres (Falc) Riverdance[/color]: My character is a dragon. Rawr. *cough hack wheeze*
Actually that's not entirely true. He is a dracine. A blue dracine, to be more precise. Their are a few pictures of him on my gallery including a 3D model I was making of him some time ago. He's a privateer by trade. That means he is a freelance captain of a space ship called the Fallen Angel. Don't think Star Trek here, think something smaller than the Millennium Falcon and mostly cargo space at that.
He's about seven feet tall if he stretches his head to the ceiling. That's rather short for his species, and he's kind of thin as well. Folks don't usually mention either within earshot however because he carries a rather large baster in a hip holster and he knows how to use it. Dracine don't have wings.
When he is not on his ship he is often found at the local watering hole looking for customers or people that owe him credits (money). He dresses in his old (and out of date) gray military uniform if he's looking to impress, or just the cargo pants and a white sleeveless compression shirt with his dog tags hanging out. Like his ship and his dress, his silver hair is out of date, looking like something from a 1980's band less the hair spray and five pounds of jell.
He resigned his commission with the confederation several years ago with the rank of Colonial and now uses the common title of Commander Falcres Riverdance. His friends call him Falc and find his humour on the risky / dangerous side. (Remember the blaster?) He is often maligned by his competitors, and is known to have a few minor warrants out for him on a couple of outlander worlds. No one to date has had the guts or the luck to try and claim the bounty. (Well, none that lived anyway.) Nobody is quite sure how old he is as his military files are curiously sealed, but most put him at a young middle age.
