So, as part of my 501st Legion experience, as a TIE pilot I need to choose a callsign that I can eventually use on my trading cards when I get those printed. So I eliminated 15 choices from a list of 30, leaving behind the 15 best options along with a small character explanation of why they might be relevant:


Backdrop - usually in the background in group photos, doesn't move much

Backfire - my best-laid plans usually end up a disaster

Blackout - all-black helmet, passed out on training flight due to wrong oxygen mixture

Cypher - most people can't figure me out

Nightshift - typically up until 4am

Ricochet - my thoughts bounce around randomly in any discussion

Scattershot - lack of focus when numerous tasks need to be done

Squawkbox - LOTS of late night chatroom feeds...best have notifications off!

Static - filling the chat buffer with random convos

Tailspin - not the best at pulling out of bad situations

TechSpec - I may not be able to hit an enemy ship but I can tell you everything about it

Umbra - shadow of an eclipse (all-black helmet)

Vampire - up all night, avoids sunlight

Wingclip - once lost a TIE fighter wing panel on a hangar bay door

Wrongway - consistently losing orientation in 3D space


Might choose one, might choose none! I dunno, I can never figure these things out

Changed this account name as it will gradually hold the entire run of The Polymer City Chronicles over the next few years, making it more of an archive than a gallery

Caught on Tape

1 min read

One of my 501stLegion troops made the local news today and I was surprised to find myself caught on tape in a few spots - that's my helmet at 1:06, I'm the wingman on the left at 1:13, and at 1:46-1:52 I'm the second TIE pilot in line behind the Shoretrooper. The story of why we were out today is really rather stunning and is the sort of thing the 501st is really all about, so give it a look, won't we? https://www.nbc4i.com/news/local-news/cana

So i went to GalaxyCon in Columbus this past weekend and am currently fighting post-convention melancholy but I have some Fireball whiskey so that probably won't last long. Enjoyed myself running around as Dr. Robotnik way too much and ran into a few photographers and other cosplayers who convinced me I should have an Instagram account so now I have an Instagram account for cosplay and other stuff of interest to me and therefore by association, you:

Some roles you're just born to play, even if you have to age into it

So I have to point this out because Joe England wrote this really cool poem, "Pooka Zin" over at https://zebragirl.thecomicseries.com/ which is a thing you should be reading if you're not. The poem struck me sideways as I was deep into some Stoli a month or so ago, so I did a voice read of it on my phone and sent it to him. Lo and here it is, he asked if the read could be used in an animated comic which turned out amazing, so now you get to see a happy accident on my part
