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 ==
-Since childhood, Bryan ran into many obstacles stemming from a near-life long stint of OCD. Growing up an introverted fellow, Bryan started gaming in the mid 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 obtained a more modern computer and a better-than-dial-up Internet connection. ''RuneScape'' was the first PC game he played extensively.
+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]].
-In 2009, he began playing first person shooters such as ''Team Fortress 2'', ''Counter-Strike'', and ''Counter-Strike: Source''. In 2010, he joined a massive online gaming community and thus added a few more games to his library, such as ''Call of Duty 4'' and ''Call of Duty: 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 became interested in game mods. The two formed a "modding team" that later became [[Sapphire]]. During its early days, Bryan produced many notoriously [[Edginess|edgy]] memes. During the mid 2010's, Bryan shifted his focus onto real life, consequently getting less gaming time. He picked up varying interests in basketball, volleyball, football, swimming, and fitness/weightlifting.
+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 a technical high school in 2017, together with Emanuel, [[Jerry]], [[Jason]], and [[Komal]]. After, he began attending university locally to study computer science. During this time, he began regularly watching anime and had rediscovered his interest in the Japanese culture and language. In his latter years of college, Bryan became particularly fond of music, travel, cooking, and philosophy. He follows politics, drawing his views from classical liberalism and Marxism.
+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''.
