Offices:

  • Kingdom Offices Held

Persona History:

Elizabethan in London - 1590s (originally, Robin was pegged as "400 years ago". But in 1601 that became post-period, so I've been stuck in the 1590s ever since.

No specific persona story. I had a rather elaborate one when I started. But the richness of the persona story is inversely related to the richness of the person. (Your persona story is what you make up. Your persona is how you act and what you say when you're in persona.)

Interests:

  • Fencing & Fencing Research
  • Bardcraft


Timeline of Activity:

My first SCA activity was a baronial meeting in 1975, and I instantly knew I wanted nothing to do with these weirdos. But I fenced with my college fencing buddy at the SCA compund at the Texas Renaissance Festival, and started getting active locally in early 1978.

Then on March 10, 1979, Prince Simonn and Princess Tessa established the order that became the White Scarf, and I was committed.

Event Reviews/Summaries


Prior Groups

I've lived in two baronies in four kingdoms - Steppes in Atenveldt and Ansteorra, and a brief spell in Wyvernwood in Meridies and Trimaris (though I was never active in Meridies.)
