2. Mundane Job: Emergent Work Planning Manager
3. Persona name: Arontius of Bygelswade
4. How did you come up with your name? I started out with a character's name from a roll playing game in which I was involved. I started using it when I joined the SCA and then researched until I found a documentable close equivalent.

7. What kingdom do you consider to be your home? An Tir
8. How long have you played? 20 years last June Faire.
9. How did you get started? Rosalie Harper and Jehanne Catrill took me out to June Faire, 1987, and I immediately fell in love with the concept.
10. Why did you join? The recreation and study of history. The music helped, as did the arts and crafts. Plus, all my friends at the time were joining. :-)

15. What is the best event you have ever been to? Estrella War, 1997, and the Thirtieth Year Celebration were my two favorite events of the SCA.

17. What event do you make it to every year? June Faire.
18. What event do you refuse to go to? None.
19. Who is your favorite person to hang at an event with? Inga Calle.
20. What activities do you participate in? Mainly anything that has to do with the administrative aspects of running the Barony and Kingdom. Love bardic activities (dance, instrumental music, singing, etc.). Also enjoy learning new things.
21. What activity would you like to learn? I would like to learn cardweaving. I would also like to improve my calligraphy.
22. Are you a marshal? I was once an apprentice heavy marshall, but haven't had time to keep up with it.
23. How many tents have you had destroyed at events? None.
24. Has your garb ever caught on fire? Yes, DAMNED POLYESTHER!!!!!
25. Have you ever awakened in a strange person’s tent? No.
26. Do you have a pavilion? Yes.
27. Are you a peer? Technically, yes. But in reality it depends upon who you ask. :-)
28. Do you ever want to be a peer? Yes, I strive to be one all the time.
29. Is it a coincidence that peer rhymes with beer? No, takes beer sometimes to keep the visage calm when all you want to do is strangle the heck out of someone.
30. Are you a squire, apprentice or protégé? Not at the moment.
31. Who would you like to be squired, apprenticed or protégé-ed to? I want to be protege'd to Viscountess Callista! :-) But would also like to be apprenticed to either a poetry, bardic, scribal or needlework Laurel.
32. What is your war cry? War requires too much concentration to have a war cry. At least at my level of experience. Maybe when I learn what end of a sword is supposed to point up I'll develop an acceptable war cry. :-)
33. Have you ever been pulled off of the field for your safety? No.
34. What is the funniest thing that has ever happened to you in armor? Having key pieces of armor fall off of the body before they were even struck. :-)

38. If you could change one thing about the SCA what would it be? MAKE THE SCA 'PAY TO PLAY'!!!!
39. What is your favorite part of the SCA? Chivalry and honour and the honest attempt to always reach that holy grail.
40. What is your SCA Goal for the next 7 years? Stay alive? :-) 1.) Grow with my new Lady Consort in the SCA and honour her always. 2.) Become a Courtier to HE Brighid in Dragon's Laire. 3.) Become a decent calligrapher and cardweaver. 4.) Take on Kingdom Bardic or Kingdom A&S (don't necessarily have to win, just entry the main competitions). 5.) Take on a Society level job. 6.) Become Kingdom Seneschal at some point. Is that enough for the moment? :-) Will probably take more then seven years though, but they are at least goals. :-)
