Glad to have this new recruit class in! There's going to be some great characters, storylines, angles, & feuds in here, and my mind is racing a mile a minute lol.
Hey everyone most people call me Lilly, been around a long time, have handled a lot of people like Lilly Rose, well Lilly Rose-Claus now but also Melina Wilson, and others. Joined since needed a place for Mandi, and she is with Chris Andrew IC, plus the boss asked so nicely lol.
So I've been meandering my way through these here boards, checking things out. Had no idea there was an introduction thread 'til about half an hour ago. Right off the bat, I know of Saint Saito and Hunter Grand from Twitter, and Luke Knux from a good friend who feuded him in PAW I think? Other than that, you're all new faces to me, which is cool.
Anyway, I'm Neal. Been in the game since 1999, save for a year off here, two years off there, plus six months off at different times. Hannah Kristiansen is my new main, and I've been running her now for roughly 2 years. I also currently run Izumi Sato, who's a very close 2nd. You might see her pop in from time to time here, as she and Hannah are best friends. Otherwise I'm most known for the Benedict clan; comprising mainly of "Murder Machine"/"Dark Paladin" Myra, "Talion Angel" Sonya, and "War Hound" Ronan, but also "The Barbarian" Jacen and Veronica "Ronnie" Benedict. Hannah is married to Jacen with triplet boys Max, Brick, and Duke.
I've been in so many feds over the years, that quite frankly I've lost count. Sadly, despite being in fedding for almost 20 years now, I probably only have about 10 title reigns to my name across all characters. That being said though, I haven't played this game for the competition since my earliest days. What keeps me coming back, no matter how many times I've gotten burned out, was the desire to collaborate with other handlers and creating great storylines. Those are what I'll take with me when I at long last decide to throw in the towel for good, not the titles. Though I'm still waiting for Myra to get named to at least one Hall of Fame, damnit!
Up until finding UB, Hannah had been on the shelf for about a month or two since her last fed closed. I've been mostly running Izumi in NGIW and Mystic, but have always loved writing Hannah and wanted to get back at it again. A few things caught my attention with UB. First was that it has only just opened its doors recently. Second, it doesn't have an enormous roster yet, making it easy for me to get in on the ground floor and make something of my time here. Third, a bi-weekly schedule is always preferred. Most important of all though, was the 1 RP and 1,500 word cap limits. Those were right up my alley, along with the fact that it's a hybrid fed, not straight RP. I'm more of an angle fedder, but this place seems to have a good desire for storytelling. Plus, the first show was further indication that this could work, since you place emphasis on having segments and commentary in the shows. Some feds don't bother with either.
On a more personal level though, I'm the villain in real life, working for the state tollway system. I was a huge fan of wrestling as a kid, and loved Hulk Hogan 'til he went to WCW and joined the NWO. Nowadays though, I don't watch a whole lot. Sometimes WWE is putting out good content, and sometimes I can't stand it. I'll watch a little New Japan once in a while if I get the itch. Used to go to SHIMMER shows religiously, but it took an hour and a half each way, and tickets got too expensive. I do enjoy WWE's documentaries though, and have a bunch of them on DVD - Undertaker, Eddy Guerrero, the Hart Anthology, the Four Horsemen, AWA, etc. Same goes for old ECW shows and compilations, which never get old. Favorite match of all time was Megumi Kudo vs Shark Tsouchiya(sp?) in Kudo's retirement match.
Otherwise, I still enjoy video games at my old age. Loved Wolfenstein: The New Order, still play Madden 12 on the Xbox 3460, which I refuse to sell. Also FIFA 17 has finally replaced FIFA 14. Otherwise, I enjoy No Man's Sky, Diablo III, Deus Ex, etc. I used to run a YouTube channel where I'd review stadiums built in Minecraft. Also used to be a die-hard Chicago Bears fan, but now I'm much more casual and derive more interest from the off-season/sports management side than the actual games. Also enjoy soccer/world football, though I don't get anywhere near enough of that. Support the Chicago Fire and Liverpool FC. Lived in Ireland for 6 years, walking distance from the Shelbourne ground during the last 2. I'm an action movie nut, but also enjoy love some good sci-fi. Star Wars is my favorite of all time, but also have a number of other franchise collections: Predator, Alien, Die Hard, Underworld, Star Trek, etc. Writing's been a lifelong passion of mine, as has music. Nowadays I seem to be on a pretty big Christian music binge, but have a wide variety of interests.
Annnnd... *DEEP BREATH* ...I think that's about it. Somehow I knew this thing would be a mile long. In any case, I'm really looking forward to getting started here, can't wait to write Hannah again, and work out some great stories with you all.
Neal and I can't be friends since he supports the bin diggers(Liverpool).
The Arsenal
Yeah, there's a little story about that. I was searching for a team to support. Friends had recommended going with either Tottenham or Man City (before City won the league). So I'd watch their games as much as I could, trying to get a feel for them. It never happened though, until one day I watched one of them (can't remember which) play Liverpool. Andy Carroll was still with them at the time, and I really liked their play style. So, I abandoned Spurs and City, and from that day forward have said that Liverpool chose me - rather than the other way around.

I'm a football supporter from the USA, so I always have to support Major League Soccer and my team, DC United. Outside of the US, I kind of just watch football. I don't have any strong feelings towards any clubs from the UK, so I just enjoy the show.
MLS, I support FC Dallas(where I am originally from). We used to have a big time rivalry with Chicago, but with the original San Jose team moving to Houston, things started getting quieter. Back when the Brimstone Cup actually meant something.
Same with DC United thanks to Dema K being a complete hack and breaking Ronnie O'Brian's leg, but then Dema and DC fans tried to make Dema the victim.
Now we just have to deal with the shit known as houston.

I never much cared for Dema K. I always thought him to be more trouble then what he was worth in the long run.
Now challenging Jaime Moreno or Marco Etcheverry is fighting words or even the recent homegrown hero Bill Hamid. Andy Najar would be on that list, but the guy took off for Belgium so I quickly lost interest in him once he called Anderlecht his home.
So much has changed with MLS that it is hard to keep up with.
Even newer fans gave those of us who have been around between 1996-2008 looks when we called certain players Dallas rejects(Claurence Goodson and Eddie Johnson come to mind).
