Line #39 Tropers/Asran_Ryuto


1	Amateur translator, voracious reader and all-around nerd[[note]]I also make a living out of graphic design whenever it's possible[[/note]]. Also an infrequent contributor in Website/GameFAQs (mostly saves / guides) and Website/FightABase (mostly anime and Asian DOS / arcade games). \
2	Don't mind the nickname, I wanted an exotic-sounding throwaway account and I was playing [[VideoGame/PowerInstinct Power Instinct Legends]] at the time. '''Feel free to correct any wrong stuff I write'''.
