Greetings from Hinsdale, Illinois, USA, right outside of Chicago.

Tazius was the characters name I took the very first time I began playing D & D, sadly more years ago than many of you have probably been alive. I played the same character for many years. At one point my character was submitted to Gary Gygax and others for consideration as I had played it faithfully (as I could considering the DM's available) but alas came to naught.

The man behind the mask of Tazius is Darren A. Fish - not kidding, so my initials are DA Fish. I am currently an attorney. Born in California, raised in Indianapolis I joined the military to see the world and was promptly stationed in Chicago. After leaving the military I worked in a Maximum Security Prison for many years as I attended school.

I have no children and divorced my ex years ago. I myself was intrigued by this site one night while contemplating whether to go out and get drunk or stay in out of trouble. I quickly became fascinated by the fact that indeed one could make closer friends, and enemies, via this modem than one can in real life.

Finally, and never being known for brevity, I can be best described as a Master student whether it be martial arts, philosophy, politics, music except opera or gangsta rap, art, history and enjoy immensely the calm and serenity that only a motorcycle ride can bring, a campfire instills or a good, cold drink enhances.
