==Biography==
 
Fallaryn [[http://ipa-reader.xyz/?text=f%C9%91ll-%C9%99%CA%80%C9%AAn&voice=Geraint fɑll-əʀɪn]] always had a deep interest for all things medieval and fantasy. If the two went together, even better. In particular, her love for [[archery]] began early – when she first saw ''Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves'' as a toddler. This love for archery had its merits, as whenever she went to an archery range as a child she proved to have excellent aim without guidance.

This love for archery had its merits, as whenever she went to an archery range as a child she proved to have excellent aim without guidance.
 
Over the years Fallaryn would look up LARP groups and note how far away they all were. She knew nobody who shared her passion, and so she felt that she was missing out on something great. In late spring [[2012]] Fallaryn began to notice a former classmate of hers – [[Mahogany]] – being tagged in some fascinating pictures on Facebook. He had joined a LARP group. At first Fallaryn resisted temptation, reasoning that now was not the time.
 
 
The pictures continued to show up on Fallaryn’s Facebook feed.

| In late October 2012 Fallaryn had had enough, and sent a message to Mahogany inquiring about the group. On November 4, Fallaryn showed up at [[Wildgard]] for the first time. This proved to be a wise decision: Fallaryn made friends, she found an outlet for her archery bug, and in the process learned that LARPing was healthy for her writing muse. She also started to learn how to sew for the first time in her life.

====2013====
  
Fallaryn assisted Wildgard in raiding [[Land's End]] in June [[2013]], dipping her toe in greater Amtgard for the first time. Even after visiting Land's End again a couple months later, the thirst for travel could not be sated. She attended [[Summer Trials]] XI in August. In September she petitioned to join [[Jackal Company]], to which she was accepted as a petitioner. She also became [[Woman-at-Arms]] to then-[[Lady]] [[Silvia]] Ellibayne. In October she attended [[Curse of the Great Pumpkin]].

In January [[2014]] Fallaryn was again voted for the Guildmaster of Archers position, as well as being elected as Wildgard's [[Regent]]. In August she completed her reign as Regent and retained the position of Guildmaster of Archers. At [[Summer Trials]] XII she was elevated from a Prospect of Jackal Company to a full Jackal, then elected to the position of Sergeant alongside [[Mulds]] in the second regiment. She may or may not have been involved in the appearance of garlic decor at [[Matosai]]'s home. The garlic has been confirmed to still be hanging out at his residence as of December [[2023]].

Following attendance of [[Curse of the Great Pumpkin]], active participation in the game came to a halt when Fallaryn was injured in a car accident on October 26, 2014. She sustained severe whiplash and a concussion, requiring four months of rest and physiotherapy. During this time of rest she innovated her own modular arrowhead tech. She also worked on restoring her reading skill, as the concussion had caused difficulties.

Up until the dissolution of class Guildmasters at the park level in September [[2015]] she had maintained the position of Guildmaster of Archers, and is occasionally referred to as Wildgard's dedicated arrow reeve, for she is determined to maintain high standards for arrows to ensure safety.

Notes were taken in each class to pass on the knowledge in written format to those who were unable to attend, which is kept recorded in a Google Docs file.

 +
|-
 +
| In [[2018]] she contributed a number of graphics, a stylized pinned post, and more for the park; and attended [[Battle Beyond the Border]]. From [[2019]] the relationship with Mulds ended and she took a break to alleviate burnout, focus on mundane life, and as of [[2021]] the break was unintentionally extended due to a serious energy-limiting health issue that remains in flux as of [[2023]].

 +
| Heading into [[2024]] Fallaryn felt well enough to begin increasing her attendance and contributions.
 +
|-
 +
| This included graphics and other 2D media for [[Northern Fields]]. She hopes that her health will improve again as the desire to assist, craft, as well as shoot arrows where the armour or shields don't cover, has persisted in spite of her difficulties with her health.
 +
|-
 +
| In January she drove through a blizzard to visit [[World's End]] and [[Broton]], [[Leshil_Ful_An_MacTire|Leshil]], and [[Balder Highwind]], and stayed overnight due to said blizzard. In February Fallaryn won [[Dragon Master]] at [[Northern Fields]] with a [[Writing Entries|written fiction]] entry. She then attended [[Dungeon Day]] in [[Polaris]] with '''All-Dressed chips''' in tow, and was present for [[Leshil_Ful_An_MacTire|Leshil]]'s [[vigil]] and [[knighting]].

====Gameplay====
 +
{| role="presentation" class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
 +
| Fallaryn prefers to play the [[Archer]] class, whether it's with her 15lb, 22lb, or 30-ish-lb [[bow]].
 +
|-
 +
| One of her favourite moments as an Archer in [[7.7_Rulebook|v7.7]] was when she shot a [[Petrify_(V7)|Petrify]] out of the air (the subsequent laughter did result in her death - well worth it, in her opinion). Another memorable play was bouncing an arrow off the ground to ricochet and hit the third leg of a legged shield user. She has dabbled frequently with the [[Druid]] class, and frequently relies on what she calls the "Armchair Druid" Summoner build when her body is too riddled with injuries to use melee weapons or bows.
 +
|-
 +
| While she does enjoy battlegames, Fallaryn also had a love for Wildgard's [[quest|quests]] and storyline. She [[roleplay|roleplayed]] as an ancient elf with a dislike toward coyotes and chairs. Nobody knew whose side the elf was on, for she was prone to assisting all sides with little explanation. Fallaryn has not roleplayed as the elf since the car accident in 2014, as having some amount of retrograde amnesia has made her forget who her character was.

====Mundane====
 +
{| role="presentation" class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
 +
| In the mundane world, prior to her health taking a nosedive, Fallaryn worked as the supervising [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arborist arborist] of the [https://www.treesaregood.org/treeowner/planthealthcare tree health] division at her employing tree care company.
 +
|-
 +
| This included formal study and training in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_pest_management Integrated Pest Management]. Her eye for detail has made for earlier detection of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_elm_disease Dutch elm disease] thus slowing its spread, as well as making judgment calls that ultimately saved high-value trees from over-eager municipal chainsaws. Her passion for trees and greenery in general has not waned even while she is unable to work, and both the company manager and coworkers eagerly await her return.

Her activity tapered in [[2016]] and [[2017]] as she focused more on mundane life, then increased activity upon joining the [[Woffle pack|Wolffe Pack]] household. In [[2018]] she contributed a number of graphics, a stylized pinned post, and more for the park; and attended [[Battle Beyond the Border]]. From [[2019]] the relationship with Mulds ended and she took a break to alleviate burnout, focus on mundane life, and as of [[2021]] the break was unintentionally extended due to a serious energy-limiting health issue that remains in flux as of [[2023]].

Heading into [[2024]] Fallaryn intends to increase attendance and has begun contributing graphics again for [[Northern Fields]]. She hopes that her health will improve again as the desire to assist, craft, as well as shoot arrows where the armour or shields don't cover, has persisted in spite of her difficulties with her health.
 
 
 
In the mundane world, prior to her health taking a nosedive, Fallaryn worked as the supervising [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arborist arborist] of the [https://www.treesaregood.org/treeowner/planthealthcare tree health] division at her employing tree care company, including formal study and training in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_pest_management Integrated Pest Management]. Her eye for detail has made for earlier detection of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_elm_disease Dutch elm disease] thus slowing its spread, as well as making judgment calls that ultimately saved high-value trees from over-eager municipal chainsaws. Her passion for trees and greenery in general has not waned even while she is unable to work, and both the company manager and coworkers eagerly await her return.

Biography

Fallaryn [fɑll-əʀɪn] always had a deep interest for all things medieval and fantasy. If the two went together, even better. In particular, her love for archery began early – when she first saw Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves as a toddler. This love for archery had its merits, as whenever she went to an archery range as a child she proved to have excellent aim without guidance.
