Rave Reviews

This intellectual hobgoblin has an absolutely huge array of fascinating knowledge that can rival an encyclopedia. Witty and with a quirky sense of humour, Pooka is also an incredibly talented artist who should show off his art more often. Despite not having ever roleplayed with him per se, I've watched him in action, and would definitely recommend Pooka for an always interesting roleplay. - Loren
Well, I haven't known Pooka for long. I haven't RPed with him before. But he is such a legend when it comes to demonology. I hope to RP with him one day. Pooka is also kind. I've seen him around in the chat with us forum but I've never actually spoken to him until now. His characters are so detailed its amazing. I love one of his character templates. It is truly iconic.. - ILoveCookies
