Spirits of Fire Leaders
Apollo Running – Leader – Recruited on 05.07.09
The master of dual-wielding pistols, a BR 7-shot extraordinaire, the champion of walking over land mines, and also a sprinting god of light, Apollo possesses the necessary skills to not only dominate in Halo 3 matchmaking but also win at life. Extreme sarcasm aside, this Spirit tries his very best to not bring his team down but does give the illusion of skill by jumping into his teammates backpack. If a game ever seems to get too out of hand, he will resort to driving around trying to splatter people with a Mongoose or just betraying Brussels. In the end, all that matters is having a good time with his teammates and fellow Spirits.
DeepCee – Leader – Recruited on 08.19.09
Artist, Hawtite, Spirit. Hailing from his mystical homeland in the east. DeepCee is our furthest flung Spirit playing from all the way over in India a full half day ahead of some of his teammates. DeepCee can be found tearing up the skies in his beloved Hornet providing much needed fire support on his favorite map Avalanche. Be wary if you face this Spirit in combat; it is said it was Deep that taught Steve his legendary twin Splaser stance.
mendicantbias00 – Leader – Founder
Though his moniker may suggest that he is an intergalactic turncoat, mendicantbias00 is anything but. A stalwart and dependable ally, this Spirit is as happy dueling Planeswalkers and hopping through portals as he is assassinating fellow members from the rooftops of Venice. When not immersed in video games, you’ll likely find this Spirit playing table-top MTG, lost in a book, or watching Chopped with Mrs. mendicantbias.
rowboat 000 – Leader – Recruited on 01.23.09
Beleaguered by the waves of immature gamers found in matchmaking, Rowboat turned his bow toward more “mature” waters. Having honed his combat skills alone at sea, this Spirit has transitioned well to team-based games. Whether flexing his BR muscle on the front lines or defending the flag, Rowboat never complains that his back hurts from so much carrying. 
And, if he hears you sing that song one more time, you’re certain to get a sticky right in the face.

Arkonyx – Recruited on 03.25.10
When playing objective games, you will consistently find Ark all over the objective. He loves going into Matchmaking or Campaign with a full party of friends. As for his role on the battlefield, Ark is happy to pick up the reigns wherever he is needed – whether that means providing cover fire, front line support, sniping, or driving around in a vehicle, he is always ready. Aside from gaming, Ark was raised a boater on the Great Lakes and loves every aspect of it. He also enjoys motorized recreational activities like riding dirt bikes, snowmobiles, and quads.
BrusselsSprouts – Recruited on 05.07.09
Almost master of the AR and unchallenged in negative K/D ratios, BrusselsSprouts is not your typical Halo 3 n00b. In fact, Brussels won’t even try to kill the other team, as she much prefers to show off her Spartan’s fabulous thighs by crouching around the base. If she’s not crouching, she’s probably trying to steal your flag or hijack your Banshee. Or she’s simply lagging so much she hasn’t respawned yet.
bs angel – Recruited on 12.04.08
She may be a stay-at-home mom but don’t let that fool you. This Spirit can more than hold her own in the online world of Halo 3 matchmaking. Equally versed in the use of guns, grenades and melee, you’ll have to keep your head if you want to get the better of this angel. Though FYI, watch those plasma grenades; bs angel loves to share them with all her Halo chums.
CaptainSpark – Managing Editor – Recruited on 09.23.08
A Grizzled Ancient from a generation that witnessed, on live black and white TV, Commander Neil Armstrong step onto the surface of the moon. This Spirit makes up for his slow response time by patiently exploiting a weakness in an enemy team’s defensive strategy to creep in and steal their flag or plant a bomb.
CrazedOne1988 – Videographer – Recruited on 01.23.09
Born the son of an Air Force pilot, CrazedOne1988 has always had his head in the clouds. Be it transporting the flag on the wing of his Hornet or making strafing runs in his Banshee, Crazed is always in an aircraft when one is readily available. Though he has evasive abilities, he relies on his teammates to control the anti-air weapons. Once all anti-air weaponry is attained and he is airborne, Crazed doesn’t go down easy. While he’s a blessing, he’s also a curse when he is pitted against his own teammates, who tend to suddenly despise his abilities.
Das Kalk – Recruited on 05.07.09
As a young child, Das Kalk wandered through the Canadian wilderness where he met a family of bears. Under their guidance, he honed his skills as a slow but deliberate wrecking machine, eventually challenging the alpha bear to a fight and losing horribly. Heartbroken, and seeking a new challenge, he traveled to the nearby town of O-Tawa where he was adopted into a human family and raised as one of their own. He found his true calling in video games, preferring virtual humiliation to real life humiliation. He now lives a comfortable Canadian life in a log cabin, honing his skills until he can once again attempt to become the alpha bear. You may want to bring an overshield; he’s got a knack for forgetting which team he’s on. He’s Das Kalk, and “good game” is always on the menu at his place.
elpolloguapo – Recruited on 09.28.08
This Spirit – the handsomest of chickens – enjoys rainy days and long walks on the beach. But what he really loves is jumping behind the wheel of a Warthog with a fellow Spirit manning the turret and racking up a pile of Wheelman medals. He’s also frequently found AFK at the base due to his brother unplugging his controller, performing his famed “warthog respawn dance” at the ‘hog spawn, or making futile attempts to combat enemies on foot.
ElusiveEagle – Webmaster – Recruited on 03.25.10
Though his handle may suggest this Spirit would shy away from combat, your miscalculation would cost you dearly. His keen eyesight and unpredictable tactics serve only to help this loyal, cunning warrior. While he can regularly be found assisting his brothers and sisters at all costs on the battlefield, he has frequently been spotted serving justice on his own, seeking to disrupt and destroy any who dare cross his path. Few find the means of escape from his agile motions and powerful talons.
GirlWolfie – Tournament Coord. – Recruited on 10.12.10
Raised by wolves and then released back into “The Wild,” GirlWolfie needed to find a new place to live and the Spirits are now her “Pack.” Fiercely protective and loyal, but kind, gentle and warm at the same time, GirlWolfie finds herself enjoying her free time by killing grunts in Firefight, using Creepers as walking TNT in Minecraft or playing Legend of Zelda. Again. Mother first, Gamer second, GirlWolfie is always there for her friends and fellow Spirits.
Kalamari – Recruited on 08.31.10
Like the stalwart heroes of the past, Kalamari is a champion for truth and justice wherever the need may be. Constantly rescuing damsels in distress, relentlessly stealing victory from the clutches of evil, and tenaciously dispatching his foes, he is a steadfast warrior for the forces of good and a consummate gentleman. When not on the virtual battlefield, you may find Kalamari with his nose stuck in a book of some kind, probably related to accounting.
Malechei – Recruited on 03.25.10
Carrying over his real-life role as a Designated Marksman and Assaultman in the Marine Corps infantry, Malechei simply does not feel right unless something is exploding, be it the enemy base or simply an opponent’s head. Due to his gaming attitude being eerily similar to his real life approach to combat, Mal is rarely found at the top of the leaderboards. Instead, he’s perfectly at home in a supportive role that may not get all the girls, but it helps keep his teammates alive.
Mr. Meyagi – Recruited on 05.07.09
Hailing from atop the highest mountain, Mr Meyagi is handy in the arts of fine driving. For years, this humble warrior has drivin mongeese and warthogs alike, helping those in need to reach their respective destination. Whether it be racking up wheelmans or securing the enemy flag, Mr Meyagi is behind the wheel every step of the way. Able to dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge from any and all incoming laser and missle pod attacks. so next time you need to turn the tides of battle, you just call upon Mr Meyagi, and by the beard of Zeus it will be done.
NartFOpc – Recruited on 04.20.11
Many centuries ago a group of top scientists set their skillful hands to the task of creating a device to bring about a change, to create a machine to bring freedom, to create a man to save the world.
For years they worked, and on a cold night in the year 200X, NartFOpc was born. A perfect man, an unbeatable machine, hell-bent on destroying every evil standing between man and freedom. Ready, willing, prepared to fight. You know, when there isn’t schoolwork to do.
ReverendTiki – Recruited on 03.25.10
Formerly a more competitive player, ReverendTiki has since become a more laid back player, caring more about having fun than winning. Tiki can most often be found roaming the Halo landscape, blowing up bases and killing any who stand in his way. Frequently leading his team in assists, Tiki is the ultimate team player. No matter what he has to do to help his team win, he will do it. When he’s not slaying the enemy, Tiki can most often be found enjoying his other hobbies: comic books, fishing and baseball.
Schoony – Recruited on 04.20.11
When you need a teammate who will stay with you all the way, Schoony is your man. Not only that, but he will probably do it without spilling his beer in the process. Database Manager and Freemason by day, this Spirit is glad to run support. Schoony will mow down anything in his way via hog/pelican turret or by making his enemies explode in a glorious ball of fire. At the end of the day, Schoony values a fun game over a won game. When he isn’t shooting Covenant or Spartans of another color, Schoony is busy either poisoning people on Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, running through walls by aid of his portal gun, or playing a rousing game of MTG.
SkelBrute – Recruited on 01.19.10
Skelbrute has never been afraid of doing the things others don’t want to, the dirty jobs, so to speak. Need someone to clear a path to the bomb plant? Give him something big and noisy and stay behind him. Never afraid to take one for the team, this Spirit doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty, or bloody. When not doing battle in the virtual world, Skel can be found outdoors, hunting, fishing, farming, or enjoying time with his wife and pets. He also enjoys reading, poker, cooking and traveling.
SonofMacPhisto – Recruited on 08.29.08
SonofMacPhisto hails from a particular Great Lakes city famous for setting water on fire and never having a championship sports team. That doesn’t bother him much, because the fire water thing is hilarious and he doesn’t care about professional sports. What he does care about is enjoying a good night of gaming with his friends. Whether it’s conquering the opposite colored team in Halo, ridding the world of the Combine in Half-Life, or MAC blasting Scarabs from orbit in Halo Wars, you’ll find him a devoted teammate who plays hard and drinks harder. Be advised however, watch out for really bad jokes, delusions of grandeur, and grumpy Phisto. You wouldn’t like him when he’s grumpy.
The Light Show – Recruited on 08.19.09
He is The Light Show. He tries his best to contribute to the team in every way he can. If the team needs a vehicle up, he’ll jump in and go; if they need a bomb planted, he’ll grab it and plant it; if they need an enemy gone, he’ll grab a sniper and take him out, even if that means his death. He can drive, shoot, communicate, kill and die. He also dives into forge guns blazing and tanks droppin. He, along with his partner in crime Mr. Meyagi, will create anything under the setting sun in sandbox. Their motto, “those who can’t matchmake, forge” and that’s what they do and they do it well.
TheFormalWhale – Recruited on 12.04.08
A mythical creature, half whale, half man, half grunt, half ninja; and with the mathematical skills of a half wit. This Mersy-born Cetacean Loving Spirit is always ready for battle in the online world of Halo, just watch out for the harpoons there, TheFormalWhale!
Xerone – Graphic Designer – Recruited on 01.19.10
In a land of fiction and make believe, one man stands the true test of time and strength. That man is Xerone. In the land of the real, not so much. But he has fun as he is experiencing life. College Student and part-time retail employee by day, maniacal Xboxer by night, Xerone will (try) to take you out in whatever game you wanna play. Be it a round of Domination in Modern Warfare, or some Rocketrace in Halo 3. Usually trying to fill a support role for his team, such as driving the warthog or being the jerk with Marathon + Lightweight + Commando, Xero sometimes gets distracted by shiny and brightly colored objects. He means well, honestly, but he just can’t resist when the urge is too great. With a quirky sense of humor and an Xbox controller in hand, he’ll stand by your side the whole 9 yards.
Retired and Honorary Members
Emdee – Retired Member
There are men who you want by your side when the matter hits the rotary ventilation device – men who will be your spotter, a dead shot, a perfect grenade throw. Emdee is not that man – but he’ll happily point out where the bad guy is, grab something for you, shlep ammo across the battlefield for somebody more skilled to shoot with, or just be your auxiliary meat shield when you’re coming home with the flag or planting the bomb. Other than gaming, Emdee has his hands full with information technology, a disabled daughter, and a newborn son.
JDubbs11 – Retired Member
With a glass of Pinot in one hand and a controller in the other, this is no ordinary gamer. Taxman by day, battling it out over XBL at night trying to save the world one 6 shot at a time. Fond of the Spartan Laser, BR, plasma grenade, and tons of fun on the virtual battlefield nothing upsets this gamer more than AR starts. A sneaky ninja who can be found beating opponents down with their own flag, for CTF is by far his favorite game type. When not on the virtual battlefield you can find him trying to get in a round of golf, enjoying a fine glass of wine, cup of tea, or spending time with his wife and three cats.
Jim – Retired Member
A genuine example of the stereotypical tea-drinking bespectacled Englishman, Jim can be found falling out of bed in the small hours of the night to play with his American brethren. Jim is more interested in having fun and playing with his friends than winning and is usually the quiet one on the team as he always forgets about PTT. Keep your power weapons; a BR backed up by an AR is all this Spirit wants on the virtual battlefield.
