SCA Questionaire

1. Mundane Name: Clif

2. Mundane Job: Teacher

3. Persona name: Ulrich Kreer

4. How did you come up with your name? I'm embarrased to note that the name, originally, was inspired by the main character in Michael Moorcock's The Warhound and the World's Pain, Ulrich von Bek. Kreer, however, is an actual name, probably deriving from the German Kraeher, that is "crow-er" or "one who crows. I've found the name in records from the early 17th century, but it is also very close to my middle name, Greer, which was my father's mother's maiden name. There is some evidence that the English Greers may have been related to German or Dutch Kreers, it kind of works....

5. Where and when did your persona live? 1546 or there about, in Nuremburg

6. What is your Known World Location? Barony of Windhaven

7. What kingdom do you consider to be your home? Northshield

8. How long have you played? 6 years

9. How did you get started? I wanted to learn rapier and had wanted to join for many years, and in fact almost joined back in the East back around 1990. A few years ago, I decided to make it happen. There was no rapier in Windhaven, so I emailed Toshikage. He introduced me to Guillaume and convinced me to go to KWAR in Chicago that year. The rest is history....

10. Why did you join? I got to play with real swords.

11. Have you registered a name? No

12. Have you registered a device? No

13. What awards have you been granted? AoA, Horicon's Favor, Golden Amphitre, Purple Fret, Eisenwache, Queen's Glove

14. How many events do you attend each year? Recently, only 2 or 3....

15. What is the best event you have ever been to? WW IX

16. What is the worst event you have ever been to? Meh, some are better than others, but I usually find something in every event I attend. It's waht you make of it....

17. What event do you make it to every year? WW

18. What event do you refuse to go to? None I *refuse* to go to. Choices are generally made on the time I have, distance, where my firends are going....

19. Who is your favorite person to hang at an event with? Oh, lots of people, but Jock and Mateo are pretty high on the list.

20. What activities do you participate in? Rapier

21. What activity would you like to learn? Brewing

22. Are you a marshal? Rapier and C&T

23. How many tents have you had destroyed at events? 0; still have my first one

24. Has your garb ever caught on fire? No

25. Have you ever woken up in a strange person’s tent? No

26. Do you have a pavilion? No

27. Are you a peer? No

28. Do you ever want to be a peer? Not really.

29. Is it a coincidence that peer rhymes with beer? Yes. Everyone know rapier fighters are the drinkers....

30. Are you a squire, apprentice or protegee? Does cadet count? Otherwise, no.

31. Who would you like to be squired, apprenticed or protegee'd to? Hmm, I'm not sure. If I took up heavy combat, then it would probably be someone like LOGOS or Guillaume. I respect Siegfried a great deal, but I'm not sure I could be his squire. I like Kaydian very much, but again, I'm not sure that work out. Raito would be cool if I decided to go the Japanese route; I'd love to learn how to walk around the field punking people with a naginata. If Simon ever gets a laurel for brewing, I'd definitely like to be his apprentice!

32. What is your war cry? Tyrant

33. Have you ever been pulled off of the field for your safety? No

34. What is the funniest thing that has ever happened to you in armour? Hmm, not a very funny person, I guess...

35. Have you read Corpora? No

36. Circlets, how do you feel? Meh, I never got one, but if other people like 'em, I don't care.

37. What household(s) do you belong to? Umm, it's *not* a household, but I belong to the School of Tyranny.

38. If you could change one thing about the SCA what would it be? More schtick.

39. What is your favorite part of the SCA? My friends.

40. What is your SCA Goal for the next 7 years? I haven't accomplished my original goals yet! Improve my fencing, learn how to brew, and maybe take up heavy combat so I can practice period techniques with longsword and halberd.
