In computer games, most computer-controlled foes have a low degree of artificial intelligence. Were we to peer into their skulls, so to speak, we will see that their random spellcasting and erratic movements are not unpredictable at all. The first step, then, to victory is knowing your opponent thoroughly. Unfortunately for you, doomed reader, I am no cyclic automaton and, perhaps, by now you've realized how completely useless this preface is after all.

Topography

What a queer planet!

My pen name is Jean R. Mavi; my real name, I care to divulge not. I was born on the summer solstice, as the sun was riding to its peak. When immersed in a tub full of water, I am completely submerged at a depth of at least 5'11" while displacing approximately 128 lbs of water. My body temperature, however, often hovers around 37 degrees Centigrade, regardless of the water temperature.

It usually takes a length of leather at least about 27" to encompass the girth of my waist. I usually over-accessorize, though, so it is not quite uncommon to see me with multiple belts, bracelets and necklaces. Such heavy loads may or may not be the reason why my metabolic rate is really high; I burn up my fuel reserves within three hours. Obesity is not a problem; I can never have too much food, really. Anytime is a good time to eat. However, a bumper sticker might outline my philosophies more precisely:

Why I Work: A Short Essay
I like to eat. The End.

When it comes to blood, people say I am a universal donor but I prefer to think of myself as one of the choosiest receivers. The insulin levels of my blood may or may not be abnormal; I have been informed, though, that I am a candidate for an inheritance of diabetes from my grandmother. I also appear to have inherited the poor eyesight of both my parents, thus, I have to wear a pair of artificial lenses in a frame that hangs from my ears.

My actual Zodiac configuration is Taurus in the year of the Fire Tiger but some people who don't know any better often argue that I am a Gemini or a Cancer. I would love to enlighten you more about the Horoscope Hoax; however, this page is not the proper place to do so. As a sorcerer born on such a date, I am the destined heir to whatever is left to first-born sons in a family of four children.
