Randy Moore

Guest

Randy Moore is an oddity. For reasons unknown he has delved into the world of creating sentient machines of a lovecraftian theme. It began with D.A.G.O.N. but soon there shall be more. As time passes, a legion of said machines will rise, and bring forth to this world a mechanical visage of terrible horrors. Also, he seems to enjoy long walks in nature and swimming. He's an unusual sort.
