Hi, My name is Paul Taylor and I am the player behind Waylander in the world of Alyria I was born in the United Kingdom in a town called Margate in Kent in 1973 (yes im old) I lived there with my family until I was 8 and we moved down to Cornwall (We stayed the summer in a hotel, I used to go out the back door of our rooms, cross the patio and I was on a beach rofl, it was great).

I lived in Cornwall until I was 25 when I moved upto London for a couple of years (Worst move I have ever made) I could'nt wait to get out of there so when I had the chance and money I spent a few months travelling the country until I came north to Lancashire to stay for a bit with a friend here and I ended up staying here which was when I met my current partner and mother to my two children (Reece and Ethan).

 

We are currently saving up the cash to move down to the Devon or Dorset area of the country, its quieter down there and near the beach which will be great for the kids (yeah ok, I admit it, and me too, I LOVE the sea) I expect we will move there in the next two or three years.

Music: I listen to all sorts of music anything from Clasical music to the latest charts but I do love anything from Enya or Queen as well as Phill Collins/Genisis.

Books: I love to read mostly science fiction and fantasty type books and have a huge collection (Over 5000 books) my favorite aurthurs are Anne McCaffrey who wrote the Pern series (Dragons are another Love in my life) and Brian Lumley who wrote the Necroscope series (Set of vampire books with a very differnt approach)

TV: I like to watch a wide variaty of TV from 24 to anything in the Law and Order series, not forgetting Charmed, Buffy and Battlestar Galatica, I like most film types, but like my books I do prefer Sci-Fi and Fantasy type films.

 

Games: I love all sorts of games, when I am not playing MM I tend to play alot of building type games like the Stronghold Series or if I fancy a change of pace I also play the Need for Speed Series, and if I am in the mood for bloodshed I play Crysis or Call of Duty 4 (love those games).

 

Other Hobbies: Alot of the things I used to do I cant do now :( but I thought I would list them here:

Scuba Diving, When I was in cornwall I did several local dives, submarines off of a place called Falmouth, as well as several shipwrecks off of St Agnes and Portreath, it really is a differnt world when you dive scarey but fun at the same time, I can still remember today trying to make myself breathe while under water for the first time, it is harder than it sounds lol.

I used to spend alot of time in or around the sea when I was in Cornwall, swimming, cliff jumping, surfing or just being out in boats in general, I used to love it, and yes I used to one of the idiots on new years day out surfing (it can get really cold at times walking through the snow to the sea lol)
