Call me Hef
Or Hephaestus Leevan, if you must be formal.
I'm named for the Greek God of metalworking... and when I first found that out, I tried my hand out at some forge work myself. Now I'm hooked on it!
My age is 19
My occupation is running a small foster home near Mystery Island. I enjoy it a lot, and I usually pay the bills through my sculptures - and Bean's ever-helpful funds.
I'm from: Right here in Mystery Island - I've lived on Tiki or Mystery Islands pretty much my whole life.
I love to make sculptures, read, (fantasy mostly) and go on trips around neopia, both to keep Fly sane and learn fun foreign recipes. Also, many of the fosters we house have been in the pound for months - they deserve to see a bit of the world while they wait for a permenant home.
I want: To learn how to make some of the Kelp dishes. Think they'll tell me, or will this turn into another underwater tresspassing adventure???? *Fly groans* Actually, currently my bigger wish is to finish the giant sculpture I'm working on. I've only just started it, and it's a life-size portrait of Turmy, so....
I'm wearing this becuase: Well, actually, our current foster, Elf, got me interested in meditating, so I looked into some Island martial arts classes. I ended up teaching myself, but I'll look into it on our next visit to Bean in Shenkuu. I think I might teach Taekwondo to some of the fosters who have had bad experiences in life, to help them gain self-confidence. I also have this great raspberry background, because I love the wilderness!
Meet my petpet Leiko! I've wanted a petpet for a while. She's loving and wonderful, but she's also a TERRORIST... D{ *pulls Leiko off the curtains*
