So, you want to know more about the "Chainsaw Artist." Okay...but don't say I didn't warn you.

Yes, that's right, Josiah's player [aka ME, but we'll get to that in a minute] is a freelance artist. And one sick puppy, as can be judged by the kind of character Josiah is. But how much do you really know about 'Kettensäge?' Or rather, how much do you want to know?

Okay, just the facts, eh? Arright. But be prepared for a bit of hostility. Don't take it personally. Or rather, if you do, then just go away, don't bitch at me about it. This is MY bio, remember?
Name: K. Newman
Alias: Shade, Kettie, DC, Demoncougar, Kettensäge.

Age: As of typing this [October 2003] I am 22. My birthday is May 10th. Just so you know.
Home Territory: Brantford, Ontario. That's Canada, for the really stupid of you.
Job: Currently, I babysit and sell artwork. No, I do not make much. Fuck off.
Hobbies: Roleplaying [obviously!]; art; skiing; horseback riding; playing constantly on Neopets.

History: I was born in Holland, Michigan, and adopted by the people I now call "parents." I was raised in Muskegon, Michigan, and prettymuch led a fairly lonely existence for the first eighteen years of my life. I had few friends, though the friends I did have were wonderful and kind and lovely people. I graduated High School and attended a community college for two years, pondering a major in English and literature. Eventually I switched to the visual arts, and moved to Chicago to attend the Institute of the Arts. I majored in "Media Arts and Animation." However...I do not do well in big cities, and I lost the battle against clinical depression...and wound up leaving the school [they were gonna kick me out on a technicality anyways] and moving back in with my parents in Muskegon. After a LOT of therapy and hospital stays, I was...better...but still rather shaky. Eventually my situation worsened and I moved in with my boyfriend. In other words, I moved to Southern Ontario. That was almost two years ago.
Phenotype: I am a therian, or "were" if you prefer. My soul is that of both the Cape Hunting Dog and the Border Collie. You'll see that I've put pictures of my rather ugly soul-form here. And just so you know, I didn't "forget" the eyes, my soul-self doesn't HAVE them. I still don't understand why.
