Biography

Bryan started gaming with the Nintendo Gameboy Advance SP followed by the Nintendo DS, mostly playing games from the Pokémon series. He grew up watching cartoons on television, which also included Japanese anime like Naruto, One Piece, Pokémon, and Yu-Gi-Oh! He began PC gaming in 2008 with RuneScape, Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike, and Counter-Strike: Source.

In 2010, he joined a massive online gaming community which led him to play mainstream titles such as Call of Duty 4, Call of Duty: Black Ops, and the Battlefield series. Emanuel introduced him to StarCraft II, Diablo II and later Minecraft. Their activities on Minecraft would eventually lead to the founding of Sapphire.

Bryan met Jerry in middle school and then graduated from high school together with Emanuel, Jerry, Jason, and Komal.

Despite having been a vocal advocate for a "RuneScape 2007 server" as far back as 2010, it was not until 2018 that he started playing Old School RuneScape in earnest.

In the early 2020s, Bryan became active on "anime Twitter", joining a community centered on an emerging personality. It was during this time he played games such as Genshin Impact and Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

 == Biography ==
-Bryan started gaming in the early 2000's with handheld consoles such as the Nintendo Gameboy Advanced SP and then later the Nintendo DS. He received his first computer in 2006, and then started PC gaming in 2008 when he received a new computer. Although he had known about ''RuneScape'' for a while, he couldn't play until he received a new PC. In 2009, he began playing ''Team Fortress 2'', ''Counter-Strike'', and ''Counter-Strike: Source''. In 2010, he joined Edgegamers Organization and eventually became an admin. That year, he also briefly played ''Call of Duty 4'' and ''Black Ops''.

+Bryan met [[Jerry]] in middle school and then graduated from high school together with Emanuel, Jerry, [[Jason]], and [[Komal]].
-Later in 2010, Bryan started playing ''Minecraft'' with [[Emanuel]] and eventually got into modding. They formed a "modding team" that later morphed into [[Sapphire]]. During the early days of Sapphire, Bryan emerged as an [[Edginess|edge lord]]. During the mid 2010's, Bryan reallocated some of his free time towards fitness and sports, consequently getting less gaming time. Ever since early adolescence, Bryan has been dealing with OCD, anxiety disorders, and varying degrees of depression - all of which were "self-diagnosed, but self-evident".
+Despite having been a vocal advocate for a "RuneScape 2007 server" as far back as 2010, it was not until 2018 that he started playing ''Old School RuneScape'' in earnest.
-Bryan graduated from McFatter Technical High School in 2017 and afterwards began attending Florida International University to study computer science. During this time, he began regularly watching anime and had rediscovered his interest in Japanese culture. Throughout 2018, Bryan experienced increasingly adverse mental conditions and as a result flunked academically. Near the end of the year, he was able to recover a tame condition and began bouncing back.
+In the early 2020s, Bryan became active on "anime Twitter", joining a community centered on an emerging personality. It was during this time he played games such as ''Genshin Impact'' and ''Animal Crossing: New Horizons''.
