About Valsu

A bit about me. I go by the name of Valsu on the internets. I’ve used this name for ages. I am the only true Valsu. ANYONE ELSE using the name is a fucking impostor. I will link from this site the places I have the name registered and use regularly. I don’t comment on other blogs too often, so anyone posting as Valsu or any variant likely isn’t me. You’ll find me fairly active on twitter, probably because it’s super easy to read and update from my iPhone, which goes everywhere with me. Yes, I admit it. I’m an iPhone junkie. I know it makes me a complete tool. I don’t give a shit.

The name Valsu is what I use in 99% of video games that I play, the chief one being Ultima Online. I’ve played UO since February of 1999, which is when I got my own account. Prior to that I played on my dad’s account. I play primarily on the Chesapeake shard and sometimes on the Siege Perilous shard. UO has been steadily going downhill since fucking Trammel was released in 2000. The first few years of UO were the best years of that game. The name of the blog, Vas Rel Por, is from this game. It is one of the spells used for travel.

The name Valsu originally comes from the 1993 game The 7th Saga. Valsu was the default name of the healer/priest(the little green guy in the upper right hand corner of the page). I chose this name for myself in the late 90’s when I started playing Ultima Online. I wanted to play a mage character, but didn’t know what name go with. I ended up going with the name of my favorite character from the hardest and most unforgiving game I’d played. Valsu is arguably the most powerful character in the game. How is a healer so powerful, you ask? One word. Elixer.

My favorite anime series is Le Chevalier D’Eon. This is followed closely by Gankutsuou, Baccano!, Haibane Renmei, Black Lagoon, and Ghost in the Shell. I fucking adore Cardcaptor Sakura, Honey & Clover, and pretty much everything related to the .hack franchise. My favorite manga is Fullmetal Alchemist. If you like these series and you’re not a fucking idiot, we’ll get along just fine. Probably.
