Darim Pelegro, Senior Member Interview, 18th December 2008
- What is your Tower name?
Darim Pelegro
- When were you raised to Gaidin of the Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb?
I was made Gaidin on April 12th, 2004 - I was SDS at the time. I became MDD sometime in January of 2005.
- Why did you choose Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb?
SDS wasn't really working out for me, so I decided that the ideals of independence of spirit and mind where something that appealed to me in the initial descriptions of what we were going to make the company. I and others have actually spent a lot of time and energy into developing the company into something we wanted it to be and that others might find worthwhile in their selection.
- How was your time as Citizen/Recruit/Soldier?
It was interesting. I spent a lot of time helping with various projects, such as signatures and I was Curator of the Museum of Art for a time that continued into my Gaidinhood. I got into a lot of trouble - like real trouble. :P
- How long have you been a member of TV.net?
I have been a member since October 15th, 2002.
- What things do you do for TV.net?
I was Curator of Art for a long time; I also made a lot of signatures. I was Assistant to the Director of Membership Services and then General Services Manager. I was the first male Director, as Director of Community Development which had been transformed from the Department of Membership Services. I was then Captain of Recruits for a little while; I've served in the Hall and in a number of other capacities.
- How did you get to read the Series?
My mother bought me Eye of the World on the advice of one of her co-workers. I had initially laid it aside for a while, but sometimes on a bored evening you need something to do. So, I picked it up again and had the whole series read within the space of a couple months.
- To whom are you bonded, if you're bonded?
I am bonded to Sela Narian of the Brown Ajah.
- Who is your mentee, if you have one?
My active mentees - that are recruits - are Haderach Hilm and Teiran Ketai. I have mentored in the past Mathei Kardone, Tomous al'Ahari, An'thanoe, Aves Keynes, and Coer Mehran - but they have since been raised to Soldier or Gaidin and I don't count them amongst my active mentees.
- Who is your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?
Moiraine and Cairhien.
- Have you ever attended any Real Life Functions? Did you like them if you did, and why? (Why do you think people should come to any future functions?)
I have attended a function! I do enjoy them because it kinda sucks not being able to hangout with your friends when ever you want - because they are across the country or world - and I enjoy being able to do that when I can.
- What kind of music do you like?
All kinds! Musicals, pop, rock, etc. Not country, mostly.
- What are your favorite movies?
Star Wars!
- What is the craziest/stupidest thing you've ever done?
I don't know. :P
- What job do you have?
I am currently a technical support dude at my school.
- Do you have a pet?
I have a cat back in Ohio - his name is Nickle and he is a bastard. Here in Denver, we have two cats: Maverick and Oyster.
- What languages do you speak?
English and a bit of Spanish.
- What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
Psychologist for a long time.
- Seanchan or Shara?
I hate them both.
- Asmodean or Sammael?
Asmodean seemed pleasant enough.
- Party or lounging at home?
Lounging!
- Tea or coffee?
I don't like either.
- A short bio about yourself.
I am a Graphic Designer from Ohio!
