Staccatto Toccata, of the Crimson Sanctum under Westmarch
”Damnit [Staccatto], stop being better at women than me.” -Lord Shadowraith Lykaios
"Amtgard: Our standards are lower! Now even moreso when you just add BEER! So what if she's a 4? When you add this six pack, that's a 10!" -Staccatto
"I'm not even mentioned in the Amtwiki... but I betcha people talk about me."
"Ohhhhhhhhh yah."
-Staccatto and Thorin
Biography
Staccatto was introduced to Amtgard in the spring of 2007 as a senior in high school. He played regularly with the Crimson Sanctum throughout his senior year and the summer until he moved to Seattle to attend the University of Washington. While in Seattle, he occasionally plays with the good folk of the Inland Ocean where he takes ruthless beatings from vastly superior fighters. He once rode the bus for over two hours to go back, only to remember that they meet on Saturday and not Sunday, but he hasn't forgotten which day they play since.
Notable Accomplishments
- Occasionally writes songs about various people in the shire. Ask him to play you "Dirty Filthy Stinky John" or "Ballad of the Wraith" someday.
- Responsible for updating the heraldry of the Crimson Sanctum after their join with the Kingdom of Dragonspine. Though the actual sketch of the heraldry was done by an artist friend of his, he spearheaded the initiative to get it made and inked and digitized it himself.
- Designed the Crimson Sanctum's latest website. Also coded (but had little to do with the design of) the splash page and link collection that they're using now instead.
- Is coming dangerously close to succeeding in his recent project to get Shadowraith so exasperated that he cries.

More Information
I come off as a bit of an arrogant jerk almost all of the time. Sorry about that; it's more of an act than anything. I like to play the bard and, in my head, that includes a bit of mockery and playful ribbing. If it really bothers you, you can talk to me about it. When push comes to shove, I like to think I'm pretty good at putting my nose to the grindstone and getting things done. I do have a genuine, profound respect for many, though I usually prefer to express it by giving them a hard time.
My pre-game music is The Book of Heavy Metal by Dream Evil. I'll ocassionally imagine myself killing lots and lots of faceless enemies in an elaborate Dynasty Warrior style fight scene set to one of the songs from that album if I feel I need to get pumped up. My theme music is M.O.M. (Man or Mouse) by the same band.
