This is TediusZanarukando (usually Tedius Zanarukando with a space). I also post in winds.westhost.com Fire Emblem message board. I knew DarkTwilkitri from there. Fire Emblem is my favorite Nintendo franchise and tenth favorite video game franchise, and I like the Fire Emblem characters the most in Super Smash Bros. Mêlée. Marth is my favorite character in Super Smash Bros. Mêlée, and Roy is a close second. Seisen no Keifu (Genealogy of Holy War) is my favorite Fire Emblem game, and Thracia 776 is a close second. I would like to have these games remade for GameCube, featuring graphics anti-compression. That is so that they get a chance to come to America. I was introduced to Fire Emblem in 2002, though I live in North America. My no. 1 favorite video game franchise is none other than Final Fantasy, and I love it more than anything. The newbie introduction thread title is a quote from my favorite game Final Fantasy X. The screen name TediusZanarukando is also reference to it.

1. Final Fantasy

The screen name Tedius Zanarukando is pronounced SHAY-zhee-uhs tsuh-nah-ryoo-KAHN-doh. The "t" and "d" in Tedius is very soft, in order to prevent confusion with the word "tedious." My real name is David Odis Hill. I am a descendant of Adolphus Cheek and Martin Poole, who fought in the Civil War. My maternal ancestors were farmers. An African American male, I was born in Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center in Knoxville, Tennessee, after dark on November 8, 1979. I am the youngest of three boys. My oldest brother Richard, Jr. was born before dark on August 11, 1970, and my other older brother Sidney was born after dark on September 25, 1973. I was raised in my mother's homeland Laurens County, South Carolina, which is economically impaired. Laurens County was named in honor of Henry Laurens, a Revolutionary War lieutenant. We had to travel long distances to buy valuable things. My parents and brothers are Jehovah's Witnesses. I used to attend the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, until Grand Theft Auto III got blamed for society's problems. I left the religious organization, because most of its doctrine and principles violate my preferences and therefore too restrictive. Also, I was despised by Jehovah's Witnesses. My place of refuge lies in Greenwood, South Carolina, where I experienced a happy life in college. I am finished with school and college. 2002 was the worst year for me, and 1999 was the second worst year for me. My dear Uncle Sullee Sunny Clyburn, an Air Force veteran, died of lymphoma at Wm. Jennings Bryan Dorn VA Medical Center at dark on April 26, 2002. He served in the Korean War. Many of my maternal relatives are veterans. My cousin Mark Eldred Hunter served in Gulf War I.
I was introduced to video games in 1984. My first game system is the Atari 5200, and my last game system is the Sony Playstation 2. The first video game I ever played was Astro Smash, and the last game I have played is Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter. My favorite video game series is none other than Final Fantasy, and SimCity is the only game series that is anywhere close to it. My favorite video game is Final Fantasy X; it has a special part of my heart. The Final Fantasy series lies in the core of my heart. Therefore, I hate being part of any religious organization that has a principle that violates or discourages Final Fantasy fandom, or read any literature, article, or Web site that is an offense to Final Fantasy fans, or listen to any speech or discourse that like that, especially if it is religious. I hate Zany Brainy for discontinuing the sale of Final Fantasy games and later for discontinuing the sale of video games in general. I began to drop the religion I was raised on, i.e. Jehovah's Witnesses, in favor of the Final Fantasy series in June 22, 2003, because I worship Final Fantasy. It was a struggle, consisting of moral pressure, unemployment, and family retaliation. I love Final Fantasy even more than myself.
So after this epic fossil copypasta of over 6 years old by everyone's favorite Tedius, another ex-FESSer joins. A few of you may already know me from the names written in my sig. I believe I also contributed to the site a while ago about FE 10, mostly about name translations.
Not much else to say. My old activity back then was helping people with various games of the series ( 3-10, usually 5, 6 and recently 10 ), with an occasionnal activity in the FAftF equivalent back then. I also won a couple of F-Zero GX tournaments held by current SFer YokaiKnight (hai) about 18 months ago, and debated FE 6 a bit for the lulz.
So whassup.
