Community Spotlight : Daystar Clarion
If you've spent even a little time around The Escapist forums of late, it's likely you've heard the name [user]Daystar Clarion[/user]. He'll tell you himself that he's known around the site for adoring Okami and derailing threads, managing to make both friends and enemies along the way. Not only did an abundance of users vote for Daystar to be featured in a Community Spotlight, many people voted against him, making a lot of us wonder... Who is this person that could stir up so much merriment and ire at the same time?
As one user describes him, he's not only The First Brovenger - he's "our main source of fun and joviality on these forums. Our first, and last line of defense against the shrieking hordes of rage, hate, and adolescent nihilism that plague so much of the internet. "
Whether you love him or hate him, you've got to admit that Daystar is a part of Escapist culture right now. So much so in fact that when his forum friends discovered he couldn't make it to the Escapist Expo they purchased a plush toy of his avatar and brought it along instead. Throughout the weekend you could find Daystar mingling with an assortment of Escapist staff and content providers, despite never having set foot on the grounds.

We took a moment and get to know the "telltale white wolf", hoping to uncover some of his mystery.
What first brought you to The Escapist?
