Power Shot: Article Ranger / Super Moderator

Location: Wherever God Takes Me…
Joined Forums: March 2005
Joined Staff: Around December 2007
E-Mail: egoranger [at] hotmail.com
Quote: “Keep it legal.” -Power Shot
One of the unpaid writers of ZeldaUniverse, and sexiest Greek, Power Shot spends his days lounging at his computer, writing articles for the Main Site, posting in the Battle Arena, in the PodCast, where he frequently contributes his vast array of vocal talents. Contrary to popular belief (and opinion) he is actually the retainer of the biggest ego on ZeldaUniverse, and as such tends to behave quite eccentrically. He is also self-admittedly computer-illiterate. He also contributes short stories and essays when time permits.

Azerik joined ZU in June of 2007 and has remained active since. He spends most of his time in the various social groups he’s part of and goes to the forums every so often.
