Ohayo, people of Wikia! I'm actually relatively new to Hellsing- I just finished watching and reading it this February! But I love it. And Alucard, too. Because he's awesome. And the series is awesome. And it's probably one of the best vampire stories ever told. And...enough of my gushing about Hellsing.

I've decided I'm going to help out this wiki as much as possible. I mean, it doesn't even have 100 articles! For an anime that's this well-loved and this widely known, that's a serious issue. So what do we need to do? That's right, kids- we need to get to work. And work I shall.

I mostly specialize in the writing and editing part, but I'm good with formatting and code if I'm shown how. I'm quite the grammar Nazi, and I will edit the crap out of your article or section if it isn't grammatically correct, complete with proper English and all that jazz. So yeah- grammatical errors and typos, watch out! You will [eventually] meet your doom.

Me on Other Wikis

Here I am on the Change 123 Wiki. I'm an admin!

And here I am on the Bleach Wiki. That place is amazing.

So, Wikia's gone and changed its layout. For the first time in recent memory, this is something that will be affecting all of Wikia. In a few days, even logged-out users won't have a choice. In a month, registered users will lose the option of the old Monaco skin forever.

I tried to resist the change for a few days, but in the end I decided I might as well get used to it before it's forced on me. So I'm trying it out now. Two words, people: '''SO. CONFUSING.''' It took me three reads of Wikia's guide to the new look and a whole lot of experimenting/blundering my way around the site to figure out where all of the buttons are.

What I'm Sad About
-sob- OUR PRECIOUS SIDEBAR IS GONE!!! WAAAAAAAH!!! I loved that sidebar! I helped to cherish it, made it more convenient, helped it to grow! I got inspiration from other big anime wikias to help make it! And now half of it's been trashed and stuck to the top of the page! T_T Oh, the cruelty!

No seriously. WTF. Now there's really no way to see who the friggin' admins are on this place, which is an issue a lot of wikis have. And what'll happen to the "About Us" page and "Wanted Pages"? Stay tuned to find out, guys...

What I'm Okay With
I was irritated with the default color scheme (something called "Carbon") in about thirty seconds of scrolling around. I missed the old Hellsing black-and-red that made this place look so cool and dramatic. Plus, some of the template colors didn't look right with it. That was quickly fixed once I discovered Wikia's new Theme Designer. Once I figured out how to customize, it was like magic! The old colors were back! I even gave the Hellsing Wiki words at the top of the wiki a new font. And that's when I decided this new Wikia layout (although sudden) might not be bad after all.

I've been busy lately with posting the now-completed Weapon templates to all the weapons pages, and updating the Manual of Style now that we have a 'Needs Help' banner, and all that good stuff, when I realized: I'VE REACHED 500 EDITS GUYS!!!

I'm pretty sure my 500th edit was creating my latest blog post. I don't even remember when the 400th one was. Did I even document that? -checks blog and Recent News- Nope. It must not have been important. No one cares about a cuartocentennial, or quatinneal, or whatever it's called, anyway. But this one, the 5-oh-oh mark, it's AWESOME! *parties with maracas*

( Note: I've checked with the all-powerful "other wiki" now. The word for 400th year anniversarry is quadricentennial.)

Favorite Hellsing Characters
In numbered order!
 * 1) Alucard. I mean, he's Alucard. Of course he's my favorite.
 * 2) Sir Integra Hellsing. I have the utmost respect for her as a woman. Not only does she command authority with an iron fist, but she is never weak, she's utterly focused, and did I mention she's a sharpshooter and a deadly fencer? Seriously, we need more chicks like that in anime.
 * 3) Schrodinger. He's so funny! I also had a really tough time determining his gender in reading the manga. I mean, he's a neko (a cat-person), so you usually assume those are girls, right? I know I do.
 * 4) Seras Victoria. She has guns, she has superhuman strength, and later on, she gets totally badass. She's a pretty good heroine, if I say so myself. (I wonder if her name is written in English as Seras, or Ceres, or Seres, or...)
 * 5) Pip. OMG, Pip is the man! He might be a bit trigger-happy, but the man knows his guns, and he's very honor-bound. He's actually quite the gentleman.
