Hi. My name is Rob aka Dragon in the Shadows. I'm a moderator at the Dark World Society (my appologies to the staff about the "Join Us" in the sig, don't have the image without it) and the former Dueling Cards moderator and later global moderator at GameTalk X.0. I was semi-active in the Pokémon forum as well. I quit the staff after an issue with the site's debugger. Haven't been back since then.
I've been playing Pokémon since Red and Blue. Played the TCG briefly when it came out. Right now I'm breeding Pokémon, mostly starters, but I'll gladly take on any request. Not too long ago I successfully bred my first shiny Pokémon, a Froakie. Seems like a long time span to actually breed a shiny, but until Wonder Trade I didn't have a foreign Ditto to decrease the odds. So I can't really complain. My current Pokémon project is to train all the starters up to level 100. I know doesn't seem like a big deal and it's not really necessary, but I haven't trained a Pokémon past 75 since FireRed.
On the non-Pokémon aspects of my life, I am a trained electrician and currently work at Kmart as a Hardlines Sales Associate. Moral of the story; don't go to a school that advertises on TV at 3 AM, kids. My limited income means that I don't really do much other than work. I love to read (Kindle ), I play Yu-Gi-Oh (not competitively) and dabble in drawing occasionally. My father taught Kenpo and Arnis. I use to train under him until he moved to Georgia. Since then I haven't practiced. After he passed in 2010 I have been wanting to start practicing again, but due to budget and health issues it doesn't look like I will be able to in the near future. I suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis (most likely due to an autoimmune disease), use an electronic cigarette and I have a Blue-Point Siamese named Sarah which is what I name any female Meowths.

Well, I've always had problems with my fingers which as you can imagine makes writing and typing for long periods difficult. In recent years it has spread to my wrists and an injury to my knee has caused it to trigger in my left leg and hips (although my hips only occasionally hurt). I walk with a limp most days, but I don't let it slow me down.
There are too many! It's like asking me which Pokémon is my favorite, I just can't narrow it down to one. Dark Magician will always be high on my list because it was the first rare I ever pulled. Interesting story behind that. I love almost every Photon, Galaxy and Gem-Knight card. And Dark World cards. My favorite has to be Brron. Although Lucent might surpass it in versatility. Haven't got one yet. I know, Grapha is the biggest Dark World card, but it seems like a cliché at this point. The Armor Ninjas and Six Samurai cards are also amongst my favorites, but I spent most of my youth in a dojo. I could go on, but I have a picnic to go to.
Sadly my father and I had a falling out years before his passing. It was over something stupid. He was visiting and sat me down for a lecture on getting my GED. I had been studying for it at that point and even had the test date set. I was even planning at that point to go to Lincoln Tech. I felt insulted and a fight issued. I still regret that. My little sister reconciled with him about 2 years before his passing and had told him the whole story; about the studying, getting the GED, going to Lincoln Tech, graduating at the top of my class with High Honors. In the end we both were waiting for the other to make the first move, to make the call and bring us back together.

That's quite the story, sorry to here about you and your father. It's good to see a fellow breeder on the forums, I usually do most of the breeding here on the forums, even though I still have to catch up on some people's orders. Welcome to the forums and I hope you stay a while.

Thanks everyone. I get the feeling I'm gonna enjoy it here.
Steel, I have been slacking off on the breeding and training a bit lately due to work. Inventory starts in less than two weeks, so I've been a little busy. After that, though, things should settle down a bit.

I wasn't expecting you to jump on board or anything, even a casual shiny breeder is a great addition to the community. Good luck with inventory though and we'll see how things work out in the future.
