I came into existence at some point in time, and sometime afterwards, I decided that I wanted to write things. So I did. I write at my own pace and solely on things that interest me, this often means that one of my writing projects will be put on hold because I started another one. My biggest influence is history; in my writings, I try to keep my depictions of combat, armor, and weaponry realistic where possible. I'm interested in religion, so a lot of my works include it in some form. In keeping with my aims of some realism in my settings, the fictional religions I depict are usually based on actual religions from our history. This means that some unsavory things, like human sacrifice, is mentioned or depicted. Other influences are Robert E. Howard, Tolkien, and Lovecraft. Music also influences me, the biggest musical influence I've had comes from The Monolith Deathcult, a Dutch metal band. My username is taken from the TMDC song "Human Wave Attack".
History, specifically antiquity. The history of ancient Mesopotamia is something which fascinates me, in addition to the history of Rome, Carthage, and Greece.
