My name is Pat, I'm 27, and I've been cosplaying since 2011. I'm into anime, comics, zombies, martial arts movies, Deadpool, and the Harry Dresden books. I read a lot when I have the time to do it and I just started Les Fleurs du Mal by Baudelaire. I graduated college with diplomas and certificates in Automotive Customizing, Automotive Technology, Automotive Bodyshop, and Automotive Painting and Refinishing. I was a popular local artist in eastern NC for a while, before I started painting to pay the bills. I'm trained in Tae Kwon Do with basic training in Judo and Jujitsu. I'm studied in most areas of religion and spirituality and a licensed nondenominational minister as well, but I'm Agnostic leaning toward Atheist. I like to travel to at least one big con every year, if I can afford it. I have 13 tattoos and 2 piercings for the time being. My best cosplays to date are Smoke from Mortal Kombat and Cloud Strife from FF7.
