Player profile-Coyotebd
Why infinity: Historical gaming can be a hard a lonely road. Despite an active club my tastes don't mesh well with theirs so any project I undertake must include both sides. 600 28mm miniatures takes a long time to paint, so I was looking for a skirmish game with an active community as a short term project. I'm still technically looking, but Infinity is a strong front-runner.
What do you play: I am planning a Nomad force focused on remotes and hackers.
Anything else, punk: I am the guru of self-control. I once opened a Magic: The Gathering booster box one booster a day. I only buy what I can paint in a couple of weeks. I'm still a gamer though, my unpainted lead pile just grows slower than anyone else. I've also never played with unpainted miniatures.

Gaming Background: I've had a sporadic love affair with various TTRPG's, LARP's, and M:tG since early childhood.
Why Infinity?: After a long break I had the itch to get back into the gaming scene. This is one of four games I am looking to start playing. this year. The other three are Warma/Hordes, Firestrom: Armada, and Malifaux.
What do you play?: I am looking to start with an Aleph force.
Anything else?: I like to spend time with my family, fix things up around the house & farm/work with my hands, learn new things, and relax with friends,

Hi, and welcome to the OIA! I hope you enjoy your stay!
About - Like Endalyon, I am a relative newcomer to Ottawa, only having been here for 5-6 years. I'm a lover of literature and horror flicks, and I enjoy long walks on the grassy slopes of Dawn, far far away from the Antipodes border. Oh yes, and I suppose it's important to mention that I am, by trade, a teacher.
Gaming background- Like many players, my miniature gaming career started with GW (40k, Fantasy, Necromunda, Mordheim, Blood Bowl). I shifted over to Privateer Press for a few years, then got into Wyrd Games' Malifaux and Corvus Belli's Infinity. I've been playing and hack-designing rpgs and table-top games since I was in grade school.
Why infinity? In all honesty, I got into Infinity because some of the jerks around here roped me into it. :P I wasn't a huge fan of the futuristic anime aesthetic, so I chose Ariadna as my starting faction. After a tremendously rough patch facing down all that nasty superior tech of...well..the rest of the Sphere, I finally found my niche, and now I love trading teseum for inferior goods like the rest of Ariadna, only I do it in the form of bullets.
What do you play?(round up to the next 50 ponts) Ariadna (550 points), Yu Jing (500 points) - I was the first to dive into the relatively low-tech of Ariadna, and since then, we have racked up a good number of "backwards" Dawn-ites. I have slowly been assembling a Yu Jing force, but with the purchase of an ISS box (damn you, postal strike...), I'm going to zig where Endalyon zagged and run the Imperial sectorial instead of those kooky JSA. So kooky.
Anything else, punk? Although many of the "I just hammered this out in an hour" painting threads on the Infinity forums depress me, I think that I've been getting better and better as a painter since I started Infinity. I like to try out all the little nuances and fun aspects of Infinity that many other players ignore (close-quarters boarding actions, terrain types), and I've recently cobbled together a chart of scenarios that some of us have been trying out. My background in textual analysis and interpretation makes me fume at some of the translations in the Infinity book, but thankfully there's a fantastic community and comprehensive FAQ to support some of the murkier rules.
Now that all that's out there, let's get cracking...skulls. (My Dog Warrior made me say it.)

Player Profile- ENDALYON
(this is not a perfect model, but at least a good concept)
Hey there,
About self- I am a relative newcomer to Ottawa. I moved here late last year. I am a retired buisness owner and chef.
Gaming background- I have a huge history of miniature gaming from GW (Fantasy, 40k, necromunda, modheim, Gorka Morka) to Privateer, Rackham, Wyrd, Clan wars, and many others, as well as a long RPG background and game design.
Why infinity? I bought the JSA aragoto as a possible alternative model for my imperial guard, and ended up with a few of the models that I loved. I was extremely skeptical about the rules (come on, d20s?), but once I played a few games I was hooked.
What do you play?(round up to the next 50 ponts) JSA (400pts), ALEPH (550pts)- I am the only and major JSA player in Ottawa. There are a number of Yu Jing, but I only represent the rising sun sectorial. I am also beginning to piece together an aleph force.
Anything else, punk? I like to consider myself one of the more artistically focused Infinity players in Ottawa, it helps to distract from the losing ;). I am generally more interested in exciting games and understanding things fundamentally than fairness or balance. I will play your scenario where I get half as many points as you and have to hold out. JSA was a particularly tough faction to start with, so I was able to learn to enjoy the scenery as I get destroyed.
I am also an eager teacher and helper, please feel encourage to ask me for rules questions, design ideas, painting tutorials,
