User:Power Shot
From Zelda Wiki.org
Power Shot (also known as the Ego Ranger) is the most recent Admin added to the Moderator team as of November 2008. He is without a doubt one of the most infamous members on ZU and is widely regarded as one of the most respected individuals to grace ZU's presence. In addition to this, Power Shot is also one of the few members who has obtained a fandom on ZeldaUniverse, frequently sought after by the majority of the females (and a few of the guys) who inhabit the site. Characterized by his vast, brimming ego, Power Shot is a source for both great innovation and great chaos on the website.

Biography (Edited for Children)
Origins
As a Lurker
Power Shot first discovered ZeldaUniverse in early 2005 while researching an English project he had chosen to do on the Legend of Zelda series. Drawn to the fan-fiction section of the website, Power Shot created his user account in April but did not really join the community until June of the same year.
As a Member
During a trip to Greece Power Shot discovered his true home on ZeldaUniverse: the Battle Arena, and created his first character Kenjin. A talented and devilishly handsome writer, Power Shot would go on become an important pillar of the BA Community, eventually joining the BA Council after the departure of Ryorinin-san from the BA. After quite some time, Power Shot was granted a teaching position in the Dome, which he continues to hold to this day. At the same time, Power Shot joined the Farore Clan, also becoming a senior member there. He would continue to live in this blissful content until one day everything changed.
The Staff's Token N00b
Power Shot, after an intense conversation with a former Webmaster Scott, realized that he wished for more than entertainment on ZeldaUniverse, that he wished to corrupt the innocent as a Moderator and a role model. His call for responsibility was answered when Power Shot was brought aboard to assist Ameera Mae Laramie in preparing the Zelda RPG of ZeldaUniverse for reactivation. However, he did not stay there for long, as the promotion of his adopted daughter Gracie would lead Power Shot to assume responsibility over his very own home: the Battle Arena.
Leader of the Battle Arena
Having returned to govern his very home, Power Shot devoted a large portion of his time to enriching the quality of entertainment that the generally closed-off society of the Battle Arena enjoyed. Tournaments, teaching, and exciting new battles were waged during his tenure as the Leader of the Battle Arena Council, shortly becoming the only active Moderator in the section. As a result, when a chance came up for Power Shot to be promoted again, it was met with hostility from various sectors, mostly due to the recluse nature of Power Shot. However, eventually Power Shot was finally promoted to the rank of Super Moderator, wherein he chose to retain his position on the BA Council.
Expansion of Control
As a Super Moderator, Power Shot gained a new level of power unknown to most on ZeldaUniverse. At the same time, however, a rogue named Cody emerged, threatening Power Shot's reign as the most popular member of ZeldaUniverse. As both competed in various sports of popularity, they left a string of productivity in every section their war reached. From the Shantytown to the PodCast, almost everything received higher traffic. In an effort to produce more content, Power Shot declared war on the Women of ZeldaUniverse, inspiring the Gender Wars.
It was during this time that Jason, the owner of ZeldaUniverse, noticed exactly how much appeal Power Shot had to the website, and contacted him to run against Cody in the 2008 Webmaster Election. Failing to win the election, it is notable that Power Shot caused more attention and brought more users to vote in the election than his rival. Impressed with Power Shot's dedication, Jason recommended that Power Shot be promoted to the position of Admin to increase productivity on ZeldaUniverse.
The 5th Era of ZeldaUniverse
Despite failing to win the position of Webmaster, Power Shot was brought onto the Admin team to head up the Zelda Universe Multimedia Division, a new resource of user-generated content for the Main Site. Currently he can still be found contributing articles to the Main Site as a writer, and still makes time when he can for the Battle Arena and his various projects around ZeldaUniverse. He is also planning a Christmas Special for the video content of ZeldaUniverse.
Behind the Avatar
Behind the avatar, Power Shot is an extreme recluse who has an extreme dislike for stupid people. He is also one of the few anonymous members of the Staff, perferring to separate his online and real lives for the time being. He is also a Brother of the fraternity Alpha Phi Omega, which specializes in community service. He enjoys writing meaningful stories and novels featuring superheroes as a metaphor of regular lives.
