Well, this is me. It's not a good picture, but what can I say, I like the background.

I'm not good to talk about myself, but i think that I should start for my name. I am Gerardo and I live in Quillota, Chile.

My first clear memories are of a little mining town high up in the mountains of the III Region of Atacama, in the north of Chile, named Potrerillos, to where my family moved in 1,975. This town is now closed, nobody lives there anymore, and the last time I was there only a few houses were still complete. Sad, isn't it? But I still have my memories, some of which I will share with you all. Just follow the link to Potrerillos at the end of this section. I'm sure you'll like what I have to show and tell...

We lived in Potrerillos until a couple months before of my 16th birthday, and we moved to El Salvador, a litle city of about 15,000 inhabitants 60 Km northwest from Potrerillos.

The Bluemage was created when I first came to the Enchanted Castle, in april of 1,998. I came to this chat almost for accident, since I was new in the Internet and I was looking for a chat where I could improve my english. My first weeks there were amazing. I was learning english and about RP very quickly, and soon in my head started to take form an idea for a character, a mage. So I took the name of Bluemage from one of my favorite RPG, Final Fantasy, and little by little started working on him...

The Bluemage is a young mage that can't remember anything about his life before he was taken to the Ivory Tower to be trained in the ways of the Order of the Blue Flame. After his basic training, in which he showed he was very talented and powerful for his age, was over, he was sent to gain experience and knowledge from the world, and his first adventure was to find and learn from Borc the old master of the Blue Flame that was in charge of an ancient temple lost in the Southern Lands, near from where the Bluemage was taken to the Tower. In his way to the Southern Lands he lost his way and almost for accident came to the Enchanted Castle, where he met people that made him feel welcome and comfortable, and he stayed there for many a month, finally making of this place his home. While in here he met a Lady that conquered his young and unexperienced heart (read the tale The Mage and the Lady), but he still felt that something was missing, and after some time he was back in the road...

After the Bluemage talked with Borc, in the Lost temple, his past life started to come back to his memory. He remembered his name, Markus McCloud, and when he went back to the Enchanted Castle he found out that one of his closer friends, known as Mad Dog Fargo, was really his brother, Fargo McCloud, who in time became one of the Lords and Wizards of the Enchanted Castle. The fate also wanted his family to meet there, and thus in time more of his brothers and sisters came to the Castle and stayed there...

Well, that's a brief background about my character Markus McCloud, the Bluemage. If you want to know more about him, come and meet me at the Enchanted Castle.
