D0ddi0slave

From Survival Of The Fittest

While many of the SOTF members have left who they really are, where they come from, and all that up to the imagination, there is one who most definitely has not. There is one member who is essentially an open book amongst the handlers in SOTF, and that person is d0ddi0slave. Formerly known as 'd0ddi0slave', the member currently known as just 'Adam' switched his username when everyone migrated to the v2 forum. Known in the real world as Adam Dodd, Adam was amongst the first members to join in the roleplay, having no prior RP experience and just figuring that it would be a good way to reenergize his writing skills in the year off he was taking from school. Coming upon the site in late June, Adam debated upon joining for one week before finally saying 'the hell with it' and throwing in his application. Since then, he hasn't looked back.

Outside of the SOTF-verse, Adam is a twenty-year old Canadian from Toronto, Ontario. He has what he likes to call 'stereotypical Canadian interests', those being beer, girls, and hockey. Aside from that, however, he has an interest in writing and admittedly he didn't think himself all that good of a writer before he joined SOTF. Adam's never been all that concerned with privacy online, never really caring if people knew his real name, or anything to that effect.

As SOTF grew in scope and enlarged with every member that came through, Adam handled many characters, and became one of the more prevolent handlers. His 'flagship' character, named and based after himself, has become one of the most popular characters in SOTF, undergoing some massive developments in the time that he's been alive. Currently, Adam Dodd (the character) is the longest lasting character, and has been referred to as one of the 'heroes' of SOTF, something that Adam himself never anticipated to have happen.

Adam was selected to become a moderator during the second round of applications and has served as one since. When Kaishi was forced to take a leave of absence due to injury, Adam was promoted to a co-administrator along with LadyMakaze.

His former handler-name, d0ddi0slave, is a combination of two things: his favourite band, Audioslave, and his last name, Dodd.

Adam collects hockey jerseys, and currently has seventeen of them, from the following teams: Minnesota Wild, Toronto Maple Leafs (x2), Ottawa Senators, Vancouver Canucks, Calgary Flames (x2), Washington Capitals, Edmonton Oilers, Atlanta Thrashers, Colorado Avalanche, San Jose Sharks, St. Louis Blues, Nashville Predators, Tampa Bay Lightning, Winnipeg Jets, and the Florida Panthers. The most expensive jersey in his collection is his San Jose Sharks jersey, which has Alyn McCauley's #10 on it. All of the rest of his jerseys are blank on the back. Some of his jerseys, more specifically his Washington, Vancouver, St. Louis, and Florida ones, were purchased when he was much younger and as such don't fit him very well anymore. All of the rest are official semi-pro jerseys purchased from a licensed retailer. His most recent purchase was an away Toronto Maple Leafs jersey with Jeff O'Neill's #92 on the back.

Adam plays hockey and has for 13 years. Last year, in 18 games, Adam scored 17 goals and 15 assists for 32 points, as well as 10 PIM. In the regular season, he finished fifth overall in scoring, and in the playoffs finished 3rd. His team had both the most points in the regular season, and won the championship. Adam scored the game-winning goal, which he has done on each of the seven teams that he has been on that have gone on to win the championship.

Adam is the oldest child in a family of five, along with two guinea pigs (Hubert, and Mr. T) and a beagle (Maggie). He is currently single but is trying to change that (most SOTF members know the story).

Currently, he works as a Rogers Cable Customer Service Representative, and as of September of 2006, he is currently attending York University.

Adam has handled the following characters: Adam Dodd, Amanda Jones, Andrew Lipson, Cole Quentin Hudson, Arturo Villamor, Eddie Serjeantson, Gillaume "Gilbert" Archambault terrorist Angelina Kaige, and Sidney Crosby. At this stage of the contest (4 students remaining), Dodd and Crosby have both made the final four. Adam is the only handler to have three characters in the top 10, and two in the top four.

Roleplaying Trademarks

Songs: Adam has somewhat of a trademark in his writings, in that he uses songs in many of his posts that are either important to his character's development or to signify important moments in his character's lives. The character of Adam Dodd has been the one to display this the most, using at least ten different songs in different times. Songs range from 'The End' by the Doors to "Your Time Has Come" by Audioslave, and are usually used rather appropriately judging on the circumstance of the post. He's quite proud of that.

Canada: A great many of Adam's characters have some form of tie to Canada. Dodd, Crosby, Hudson, Archambault, and Lipson were all Canadians, Kaige masqueraded as a Canadian music student, and Amanda Jones' father was the VP of the United States and had travelled to Canada before. Only Villamor and Serjeantson didn't have the 'Canadian connection'.

Directions: Adam's characters are usually struck with a terrible sense of direction. Kaige, Crosby, Dodd, and Jones were all quite bad at finding their way around.
