Raiot reckons the staff should introduce themselves so im starting this off. its better if you guys all know us i think, makes it more friendly ^_~
Im Ryan and im the loolah with the big ridiculous top hat and I help run the games room.
I love J punk fashion and my preferred anime/manga is one with characters who are spectacular badasses like kyo from SDK and Vash and wolfwood from trigun and of course solid snake and dante etc
i like action packed stuff thats off the rails with great animation like studio gonzo style especially and yes i do dig the occasional romantic shows like ai yori aoshi and boys over flowers (i swear koshi if you laugh!) my big 3 anime/manga ever would be Samurai deeper kyo and one piece and tenchi muyo/DBZ
i love j rock like dir en grey and i also love martial arts, longboarding and racing motorbikesand hardcore gaming sessions and yes ive been to japan and it is honestly the greatest experience of my life not just because im a fan of manga etc the people are lovely and the atmosphere of tokyo is fantastic
other than that im a lovely guy and very energetic so youll see me bouncing around the con this summer (excited over the games ^O^)
and if ya have any gaming questions about this years con dont hesitate to ask ^^

Ever heard of Punctuation Ryan? Just Sayin'.
Hi, I'm Darren, I'm your happy go lucky MC. You'll see me most of the time in the stage hall at the begining of big events making it look like I think everything going on is a big deal (which is is). I'm also the guest organisor and as such I get in contact with our super secret VIPs to make sure that they ae the best in the world at what they do(no I'm not getting Chris Jericho I'm just ripping off his line. mwahaha). So when I'm not in the stagehall i'll be hovering somewhee near the guests makingsure they have everything that they need.
My style is nerdy quotes on T-shirts. mostly RvB though the collection has grown substantially to include stuff that is just plain awesome. Cosplay wise... I alwys try to pull one off that no one else at the con has done. So far I have never run into anyone in the same cosplay as me.
Anime-wise... I'll give anything a shot if it's dubbed. What happens after that is really up to the anime. I'm a fan of mecha and shonin of course, though in saying that my alltime fav anime is DearS. Others in my top 5 would be Code Geass, Lucky Star, Gundam Seed/Destiny, Digimon and Slayers.
If you happen tos ee me at the con feel free to run over and say Hi, I'm always up for a chat when I'm not busy and if I am busy I'll letyou know when you can come back to me. I ask that you don't glomp me off guard ask me and give me a second to put down whatever expensive thing I'm holding at the time.

Hi, I'm Emma! I'm the official con-photographer aswell as treasurer. I'll be the one running around like a mad thing trying to make sure I capture every moment of the weekend. You won't be able to miss me, although most likely that'll be because my camera will be in your face!! I'm truly very passionate about photography, I'm not just doing it because someone has to do it, I'm doing it because I love it.  I love dressing up and cosplaying, but my favourite part of all that has to be the make-up and wigs!! (and posing for photographs - everyone who knows me knows I'm a bit of a poser)!  My favourite anime/manga are Vampire Hunter (the books and Bloodlust movie - the art is stunning!), DeathNote (I had been waiting years for the manga to come out in English, was so happy when it finally did!), Gundam Seed Destiny, Hellsing, Yu-Gi-Oh and Rurouni Kenshin.  Outside of the subject area of anime, my hobbies are, well obviously photography, reptile-keeping/breeding, fossil/rock collecting, and travelling. Art used to be a big hobby, but now not so much, as photography has taken it's place. Nowadays, instead of drawing/sketching, the art I mainly do are all to do with the body - the biggest being nails and nail art (I try to keep up with all the latest nail gear), but also make-up for photography purposes (different to normal daywear make-up), aswell as theatrical and sfx make-up, body art and airbrush/henna tattoos. ;D I look forward to seeing you all at the con, don't hesitate to ask for a photo if you see me (unless I'm eating, as that's my only rest time!!) Hehe  |

Behold Tiny Peoples, It is I, Koshi, THE STAFF MANAGER.
I'm the Guy who recruits all of you who wish to be one of the awesome staffers at the con and I have to say despite the people pulling out at the last minute last year, the guys and gals who staffed were the most awesome Staff I could ask for. If You'd like to staff too give me a quick pm and Ill jot ydown on the list.
As anime faves go, I'd be here all day, in short I started watching anime as a toddler (Gigantor!!!!) and suffice to say since then ive attained a pretty sizable catalogue of anime new and old. Fave games include the Pokemon, Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, Suikoden and Metal Gear Series'
I'm a voice actor and Craftsman making cosplay props and the suits of armour y'all will see me wear at various cons, usually going for costumes deemed impossible or insanely difficult.
That is all.

Since everyone else is doing it, I'll get in on the action too.
I'm Sinead, and I'm the Events Manager and Cosplay Director, and if you saw me at all last year I was probably either barking orders from the stage or running to some event or other. I feel very strongly that the events at a convention are what makes a convention special so I can be very uptight about the way they're run.
I've been described as a cross between Mary Poppins and a South American dictator, I don't take nonsense from anyone and I have a ferocious temper. Most of the time though, I'm very nice. I work with children IRL so handling over-excited anime fans is nothing new to me.
Cosplay is one of my big passions, and Princess Peach is my signature costume. I enjoy doing all sorts of characters but I do seem to gravitate towards cutesy costumes with biiiiiiig skirts. I also enjoy performing skits at conventions with my right-hand woman Liz (Espy).
Just a warning; when I first meet new people, I have a tendency to kidnap them. That's the only warning you'll get.

Yes Darren, you avoided the kidnapping but only because I had a headache the day I met you and was off my game. And Ryan, I didn't kidnap you to install you as DJ, I just ordered you to do it.
My official Nom Con tea mug says 'THE BOSS'.

Shazam! I'm Liz, the Skits and Party Games Coordinator. I'm also the pub quiz mistress and one of the wonderful perverts who runs the hentai panel along with Sinead (Missiechan) and Tree. If you saw me at Nom-con last year, I was the weirdo with the blue hair. It's no longer blue and I have gone for a rather modest black. Much like my soul.
I'm also known as 'Uncle Nom' and this year, as a teaser, I'm reinventing myself as 'MC Nom' ;D
Apparently, I'm the gate keeper to all that is foul and disgusting about anime and manga, which sounds about right. Other than that, I've been told that I'm a nice :3
As you would've guessed, Skits are my main passion and I love to watch and partake in them. I get a thrill out of scaring the bejaysus out of myself on stage - you should try it some time because the shock has really made me come out of my shell. Comedy sketches are my area and they're always done best when I do them with Sinéad, who I guess is my left-hand woman if I'm her right, right?
My favourite animes include Cowboy Bebop, Cromartie Highschool, Vision of Escaflowne, and Paranoia Agent. My favourite manga is Fullmetal Alchemist.
Outside of all that I'm an Irish expatriate living in the Netherlands to learn how to speak Dutch(don't ask) and reach my career goal. I currently work as a freelance illustrator for a newspaper.
