You are a multi talented player. Not only are you the person
behind the character Aeris you are the designer and owner of Bean
House Vendors in Zento. What are the names of your other characters
and what skills to they possess?
The characters I play the most are my red and blue scribe mages, both
of whom are named Aeris. My peace tamer is named Aerith (very
original, I know). I actually have a wide range of chars, just to
name a few: Artemis- crafter, Xanadu- treasure hunter, Sephiroth-
pally swordsman, Shiva- stealth archer.

I must say when I stumbled upon Bean House Vendors I was
pleasantly surprised. I remember seeing that plot many months ago and
a non discript building stood there. When did you acquire this plot
and did you do all the designing yourself?
That "non-discript" building was owned by a friend of mine who sold
it when she decided to concentrate on her Luna vendors :) My fiance,
Sinteres, and I acquired it sometime in January. And yes, I do all
my own customizing/decorating. I enjoy agonizing for hours over the
perfect design. Sinteres is kind of. . .banned from ever touching
the deco of our vendor house.



I love the way Bean House is true to the asian theme of Zento
right down to the way the vendors are dressed. The way the building
and garden are intergraded is superb. Even the water feature is a
delight and well done. How many homes have you owned and /or designed
since you have been playing UO?
Thank you very much! I've gone through many houses and redesigns
since I started playing right after AoS. Although I've had my
current Felucca house for almost 1.5 years, every so often I get
bored with it and change it around. We've also gone through three
different vendor house locations, so each one had to be carefully
designed. Sinteres tried making me decorate his large tower, but I
gave up after he started collecting snowmen. . .ugh.



The most amusing feature of the Bean House is the bulletin board
with its crane related posts. I recommend everyone to check it out,
read them all and add their own, highly entertaining. How did these
crane posts begin?
I make no efforts to hide the fact I am rather easily amused. My
fiance started these posts when we observed cranes parked in front of
the bulletin board like they were leaving a message. I found the
crane posts incredibly cute, so he started leaving more. He does it
on whatever character he's on, even my own!

Aeris is also a member of Black Company Guild. How long has she
been a member and what do you like most about BC?
I *think* I first joined as a recruit last September after being out
of D^G for a few months. I absolutely love the friendships I've made
since then. While this is cliche, it really is different once you
are inside BC. I used to share the same hatred for BC that a lot of
players harbor, but I do feel like part of the family. I may not be
the strongest PvP'er ever, but I'm always learning something new.

Your signature is very memorable as it is of a female figure from
behind with flowing hair. Everytime I look at it I wonder what is the
half circle shape right to the left of the figure?
My signature is actually a scene from my favorite RPG, Final Fantasy
VII (hence why several of my chars are named after that game). The
picture is of Sephiroth walking through the flames of a town HE
destroyed :P I figured it was appropriate imagery for my BC
signature.

On an average how many hours a week do you play UO?
Lately, hardly any. I've been writing papers in every free moment
between school and work. Of course I also spend time with my fiance.
UO is basically just a hobby, so it fills in my free time. Once
finals are over I'll be around a lot more.

What location or action would one find Aeris most often?
I use the Aerises primarily in PvP, so around Fel Champ Spawns,
dungeons, or other fights. I'm not a big fan of Yew gate fighting,
so you'll never find me there. Other than that I farm and shop at
all the popular spots.

What is your favorite color?
I knew this one was coming-- blue!

What do you most value in your friends?
I would have to say loyalty, compassion, and a sense of humor.
Honestly Sinteres is giving me wrinkles around my eyes already from
laughing so much!

What trait do you most deplore in yourself?
I've developed into quite the procrastinator with school work lately,
which I never used to do. It really caused me a lot of stress here
at the end of the semester when I suddenly had everything due.

Who is your favorite hero in fiction?
Either Jean Valjean from 'Les Miserables' or the Count of Monte
Cristo from the book of the same name.

Which talent would you most like to have in real life?
I would love to be able to juggle my sometimes hectic schedule
without so much effort!

What is your current state of mind?
Silly! I spent the past 1-2 weeks stressing about school, but the
biggest obligation ended this morning. Time for some fun and
relaxation.

What is your motto?
After this past week, it's going to be "Don't put off until tomorrow
what you can do today" :D I'm sure that won't last long.
