Even though the person above has had his name spoken several times on this forum, he probably still doesn't want me to reveal it here. Oh well.

He's a tall black dude which makes him intimidating to people (he says that's one of the few advantages of being a tall black guy).

A very well educated person, he's a junior at a Brooklyn high school. He's thinking of majoring in either computer science or psychology. He is seriously thinking of applying to Swarthmore (my school) because both of those departments are pretty strong here. He also hates it when I make those subjects sound boring (never mind that I can make almost anything sound boring).

He characterizes his school as cheap because, among other things, the Shakespeare books they give to students are hardcovers that are taken back at the end of the year to be re-used next year. If it hadn't been for Gateway, his school would be in the Stone Age (so he says).

At these forums, he has most recently become a staff writer for the main site. He also works at Nintendose. He's a fairly accomplished writer and also does good fanfics critiques. One would think that he'd be good at analyzing poetry, and he is. Unfortunately, he hates it. And his school has screwed him over by giving him an old version of Shakespeare's plays instead of the modernized version that the rest of his class gets.

For some reason, he can't seem to keep the same username wherever he goes. His name at GameTavern, PVG, XBA, his AIM username and ICQ username are all different.

Politically, he seems fairly middle of the road. On religious matters, he's agnostic.

He's a big fan of wrestling, it seems. Analyzing screenshots of The Rock in WWF games, he is able to tell how well modeled The Rock's moves are (I still don't know the name of The Rock's signature move or even if he has more than one).

BreakABone likes to quote poems or songs, I can't tell which. On those occasions, I wonder if he's drunk. He also shouts the word "What?" a lot.

To date, he's the only person who calls me stupid to my face. One of the reasons for that is my inability to perceive sarcasm. I used to think I was pretty bad at telling whether statement is sarcastic or not, but recently, Shadow Fox has stated that BreakABone is just bad at being sarcastic. Whatever the case may be, BreakABone tells me that I will never reac the artist level but am occasionally neurotic. I don't know what those mean, and I don't really want to.
