С приездом! (it sounds like spree-yehz-dom)

That means Welcome!

I cannot really say that I speak Russian, though I like the way its writing looks, and I do know how to say a few things in it. Regardless, this is my userpage, and, though there really isn't anything of interest here, you are certainly welcome to take a look.

Qui suis-je?

Bonjour! I am quite the afficionado of both Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy, though this is the first userpage I have ever taken the time to create.

I typically contribute to the following wikis:

  • Aselia (Tales)
  • Final Fantasy
  • Kingdom Hearts

And I often find my favourite characters from any game to be the elegantly egotistical villains, my favourite character in the series being Marluxia, and if you had not already noticed, I am also quite fond of literary Enlgish.

¿Porqué Kingdom Hearts?

¿Porqué no? Silliness aside, I found the premise a bit outlandish at first, but I grew to find the games quite endearing, and it was through them that I discovered Final Fantasy, which I have also enjoyed immensely -- largely because I love this sort of fanciful thing, though I never could quite stomach much in the way of what claims to be modern fantasy literature. There is simply something endearing about the series that cannot be easily explained, even though I was rather disappointed by Kingdom Hearts II (which I did enjoy nonetheless) in the anti-facelift given Hollow Bastion, which I liked better before the town was rebuilt, and which bids one wonder what was done with all the incorrectly-moving water to reveal the immense amounts of now-columnar crystal.

What, exactly is a Christoph, or a Schrader for that matter?

It is a random paring of a German forename (Christoph being a rather transparent variant of Christopher, most likely derived from the French Christophe) which I quite like with an equally-German surname (albeit misspelled -- it should really be either Schräder or Schraeder). I suppose one might call Christoph my alter-ego -- he is quite a bit more extroverted than I, a humble introvert, could ever hope to be, though I suppose that very well may be due to the fact that no one has ever cause to meet him in person.

I wish there were some sort of deep significance to my pseudonym, though the simple truth behind it is that I fancy German names....

Russian, French and Spanish? But you seem to fancy German...

Even though I do fancy German names, I cannot speak a word of the language, but I have studied French (français) (and, to a lesser extent, Spanish (español), and to a very much lesser extent (one semester), Russian (русский язык)), though I suppose English will always be my first love, linguistically (and literarily) speaking.

Userboxes

Closed for restructuring.

Outside the wiki

I do write a large amount of poetry and a few stories (mostly of the fantasy sort) — you may read them here, if you so choose:
