He’s known as the “Ultimate Fan,” but this skoper has been around and active in the community for years. Probably one of FR’s most prolific skopers, Style has managed to set the bar fairly high with each new creation he’s shown off. Now a member of the Champions of Freedom, FRP2 has decided to shine its light on Style to see what may be up his sleeves next.

FREEDOM FORCE

I think everyone knows the pattern by now. How did you learn about the game Freedom Force and why did you join its community?

Well, I first learned about the game by reading a Wizard Magazine. The thought of having any superhero in a video game including characters you made up seemed like something to spend my hard earned money on. I first was playing Sims placing all the X-men in a house together. But Wolverine kept falling in love with everyone, so Freedom Force seemed right up my alley! ;’)

You’ve been around the community for years, and for as long as I can remember, you’ve had the tag line “The Ultimate Fan.” Is there a story behind that?

Well, I tagged myself that because I was a fan of all the skins, meshes and misc. things different members have done. At that time there was no such thing as skoping, so I was just a spectating fan, and to tell you the truth, that hasn’t changed. Skins, meshes and skopes are now outta-this-world!!!

You’ve made some major strides in the area of skoping, correct? What made you want to specialize in that field of modding?

LOL! Because I can’t skin or mesh. = P

From your first skope to your last one, how would you say you’ve developed as a skoper?

I would have say I’ve come a loooong way!!!!! I remember asking Symon, a member from the UK who introduced Nifskope to us (Hail King SYMON!), if he could put a laser gun in Vertex’s Electron mesh’s hand. He couldn’t understand what I was asking, so I cracked open Nifskope and history was started… now I don’t think there’s anything I can’t do with Nifskope!

Obviously you’re a big fan of C6, but I have to wonder if anyone else inspires, motivates, or fires you up like he does?

I would have to say my boss BlkCasanova, Renegade, Afghan Ant, Vertex, Johnny Patches… and too many more to list. Our members are too awesome! Johnny Patches is like the Lebron to my Kobe, I always say.

You’ve already made a mark on the community as a skoper. Have you ever considered taking up any other skills?

It’s my life long dream to skin. If I could skin, y’all would truly be amazed! A lot of people don’t know I can draw, and if I could put my art skills toward skinning, I think I would shock many.

Many have realized that their skills from Freedom Force have their uses in their normal lives. Have you had similar circumstances in your real life?

Yes!!! LOL! With all the additions you have to do to get voice packs, scripts, and FXes into the game, I found out this made me more computer literate!

With the return of Irrational Games, an FF3 could be on their schedule at any time. If you had your say, what changes would you like to see implemented into the games?

No more mesh converting. If we want our FF1 and FF2 material in FF3, we shouldn’t have to convert them! And not being stuck with four team members.

You were a big part of the advertising of Champions of Freedom. Why did it take so long to reveal yourselves as a new content group?

Well when you have 11-13 guys, you all have to be on the same page, and sometimes RL things get in the way. But Cass is such a good leader that he got all us knuckle heads straight! =)

Finally, are you excited for any Freedom Force projects that may be in the future?

Yes, the release of C6′s Dr Doom, Johnny P’s stuff, and I might have something brewing too! ;’)

MISC.

One of the bigger draws in the community is comic books and web comics. What comics or characters do you find yourself enjoying?

The Dark Avengers and whats going on with Green Lantern now a days.

It’s not always about colorful characters and costumes, is it? What other types of literature or authors do you happen to like?

By my avatar’s costume, you can probably tell I’m a hip hop head. I love to read the XXL, Source, and Vibe mags. I am also an avid reader of The Bible.

I’m the type of person that likes a large mix of music. If I were to make you a playlist, what would you want on it?

Biggie, 2Pac, Jay-z, Nas, Big Pun, Kanye, Lupe, J-Cole, Drake, Lil Kim, Nicki Minaj, Aerosmith, [and] Trey Songz

There’re a lot of TV shows out there but not all of them are great. What are some programs you’d recommend to others?

The Office!!!! The funniest show on t.v.!!!!!!!!!

With so many ways for one to get their ideas out in the open these days, it’s no surprise that some concepts have ended up at Hollywood’s door. If you had the chance to see one of your own projects made into a comic, TV, or movie, what would you like it to be?

Hero Force; not a project of mine but C6, Ink, and AA would make a great movie!!!!

If you fell into an ocean made completely of descriptive words, which 3 would attach themselves to you to describe your personality?

Kind, Humble, and Kool, LOL!!!!

It’s not surprising that the typical person has more goals than they might ever complete. If you were given the chance to cross off one of your ambitions today, which one would you choose?

Becoming a Rap Star =?

Most people in the world have someone they look up to as their idol. If you had the ability to meet one of yours, who would it be and why?

Jesus because he died for us, and if you think about it, he is the original, true living, 1st Superhero!

Not everything can revolve around reading and skoping. What are some other hobbies that occupy your time?

Preaching and drawing.

Finally, if you were an actual hero, what kind would you be and what type of legacy would you hope to leave behind?

The Spiderman/Batman type…. Batman because of the fact I don’t have any powers; Spiderman because he can be anybody under that mask. And my legacy would be, “He went out in Style!” ;’)

So what did we learn about the “Ultimate Fan”? Well, he’s definitely straight to the point as we realized in this spotlight, he skopes because he can’t skin or mesh, and he wants to go out in “style.” Punny, right? If you want to grab some of Style’s skopes, you can find his stuff hanging out on the Champion’s web site and on his yahoo group.
