I'm an accountant by trade, nerd by personality and have been watching anime or reading manga since 1986 when I saw Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind for the first time. The quality of the art and story just blew everything else I had seen out of the water.

Currently, I enjoy reading Naruto, Bleach, and Fairy Tail. I don't get to watch very much of anything right now, but there are many anime films and shows I like.

Aside from anime, my other distraction is Pathfinder RPG.

I just started writing again and am having fun with fan fiction. Unfortunately, between family and work, my free time is limited. I will get chapters out as quickly as possible, but it will likely be monthly or worse unless I get on a roll.

Casting the Vessel: Naruto is known for random bursts of genius in combat. A couple of these bursts occurring during the Mizuki incident lead to profound changes for our favorite blonde and those he holds precious. A slight change while running from Mizuki and another after the encounter lead to changes with Naruto's shinobi experience. This 'book' ends when the last blow is landed during the fight with Sasuke at the valley of the end.

Filling the Vessel: A continuation of my 'Vessel' series and answering Perfect Lionheart's missing Hokage challenge. The events of 'Casting' have lasting consequences on Konoha and its shinobi. In order to better manage the expected troubles caused by Sasuke's and Naruto's fight, Naruto is manipulated into leaving the protection of the village. Outraged at what was done, Tsunade retaliates along with Shizune and Hinata.

Sealing the Vessel: The third continuation of my 'Vessel' series. With Naruto's return to Konoha, Akatsuki ramps up its war on the Elemental Nations. It is time for Konoha's Most Unpredictable Ninja to return with a vengeance.

Breaking the Mould: An alternate continuation of my 'Vessel' series that starts after 'Casting the Vessel'. The clash of two A-rank assassination jutsu, each fueled by potent, mutated chakra, creates a small planar rift that shunts Naruto out of the Elemental Nations. Now he must survive in this strange world of Golarion, learn how he was changed by this new world, and amass enough power and knowledge to make his way back to his old home.

Throughout the stories I will have various new techniques or items pop up. If I remember, I will add them here as they are introduced in the story.
