______

Building
The Building department is in charge of expansion and maintenance of the mud world. Staffers work on improving existing areas with new mud features, and on additions of entirely new areas. If you're interested in submitting a proposal to the Building department, read The Builder Proposal Outline for more information.

Coding
The Coding department works on and maintains LegendMUD's code base. New features are constantly being added, and the goal is the eventual release of the server software as freeware. If you would like to propose to the Coding dept. please see The Coder Proposal Outline for more information.

Player Relations
The Player Relations department has charge of social events on LegendMUD, including the Legendary Times newsletter, the Lecture Series, roleplaying events, trivia and other games, a weekly Q & A session, and other elements which, though not part of the game system, enrich mud life. If you are interesting in submitting a proposal to the PR Department, read The Pr Proposal Outline for more information.

Head Immortals
The department heads are each responsible for an area of life on LegendMUD. Their responsibilities vary according to the job, and they each head up a staff which works on that area.

Senior Immortals
These positions are a position of service recognition placed somewhere between a full and a head position. These immorts will continue working on their assigned projects but will participate in the department head list, have increased voting weights (for new imms, procedural changes, etc) as well as various other things (level promotion, new commands).

Immortals
The full immortals are each specialists in a specific department, although may well be assistants in the other departments. The brunt of the work in the department therefore falls on them.

Assistant Immortals
Assistant immortals are new immortals still in training, or those who do not have the time to devote to the job that being a full immort in that area requires. Many of the staff are assistants in multiple departments beyond their primary one.

Emeritus Implementors
Emeritus implementors are acknowledged for their ceaseless committment to Legend, which produced what we have today.

Inactive Immortals
Immortals who go on leave of absence, or simply disappear from the mud, are placed on the inactive list. Their job powers are restored to them once they are again able to contribute regularly.

Retired Immortals
Retired immortals are those who have chosen to leave the staff, and have the option of remorting. Their contributions will not be forgotten.

______


Chaykin
Chaykin's origins are shrouded in mystery. He appeared among Legend's citizens many years ago, having apparently endured some brain-damaging sort of trauma which left him without the gift of great intellect but with an unflagging ignorance of his own mortality. Being the ultimate example of mind over matter, he believed himself immortal for so long, now he is. The player behind the mask has been playing Legend since October 1994, grew up in Massachusetts and currently lives in New Hampshire working as a home theater installer.

Ea!
Ea! lives in Chicago working in network security. He is currently in the Coding department and has worked on many changes to the Mud's code base, including large parts of the fight system, the pkill system, and many other smaller changes.

Haley
Haley lives in North Carolina and works as a QA Manager. She is currently the Head of the Admin Department and has over 4 years experience as an immortal to LegendMUD.

Huma
Huma goes by the name of Shane in real life and hails from Michigan. I graduated from Michigan State in 2004 with a degree in Political Science which I can do absolutly nothing with. I currently work for my father selling insurance and playing legend when no one is looking. My hobbies include computer gaming, basketball, baseball, and avoiding the pressures of the real world as long as possible. I started playing this game sometime about 1996 and after many years of being loud and obnoxious Immorted in March of 04. I like long walks on the beach and dinner by candle light, my dislikes include back hair and 80's mustangs.

Kheldar
Kheldar listens to many forms of music from pop rock to classical. He designs, programs, and plays fantasy style video games. He also reads various literature, mostly within fantasy and sci-fi genre. Kheldar's been mudding for several years and has been playing LegendMud for a little over a year now.

LadyAce
Originally from Oregon, LadyAce has been playing Legend since December of 1994, and graduated in 1998 from the University of Chicago with a Bachelor's Degree in Near Eastern Languages & Civilizations. Since then, she has been employed at the same university, working with computers. Her hobbies are biking, embroidery and various crafts, reading, writing, jujutsu, and cooking.


Lenore
In real life Lenore can be found stomping around Toronto praying for patio season. She spends her week days knee deep in html and actionscript and in her spare time enjoys painting (her current favorite medium is chocolate), photography, making jewelry and feeding her reality tv addiction. She has been playing LegendMUD for about 6 years and was the GM for Intempesta Nox. She is currently working on Industrial Hawaii.

Lirra
Lirra is one of the older playrs of Legend MUD, having started in October of 1993 when the game was still in its pre-open stages. She graduated from Washington College in 1996 with a BA in Fine Arts/Drama. Lirra spends most of her 'free' time online, aiding in the creation and adminstration of several text based roleplaying games, holding a position of Wizard for a Tales of Ta'veren MUSH, and Goddess of Cuendillar MUX. Creating plots and plot-related events is her specialty, though she helps out in other areas of Legend MUD when an idea strikes her.

Lirra became an immortal in August of 1996, ascending past her troubling career as a mortal, known chiefly as the one of the few people to have the worst set of stats ever from the original stats/skills system when the game first opened. In her carreer as a mortal, she was a member of the Hermetic Order. She quit the Order due to some adminstration problems and later joined the Knights of Legend, where she was dubbed Lady Lirra. Later, she married sir Dominic Hastur, the proposal coming to the shock and surprise of the Lady. There was something of a scandal between herself and Sir Crowe during a time when Sir Dominic had to be absent for a long time, and soon after Dominic's return, Lirra had joined the ranks of the Immortals.


Lorenzo
Lorenzo has stayed in Chicago, USA long enough now to call it home. He spends days as a jack of no trades with the University of Chicago, where most of his time is sunk into making network servers go (and then stop, sometimes with a bang). On the side he enjoys reading, riding, open-source software development in the public interest, though somehow much of that time goes into maintaining a semblance of order on some computer or other. He still prefers his Commodore 64 to whatever the Internet came up with last week, although he's got to admit that Google is onto something. He's been a player on Legend for almost five years -- too long to be young, but not long enough to be veteran.

Mariachi
Mariachi's been playing Legend since the late twentieth century. After toying with the idea of immorting for many of those years he finally had time to commit in twenty ought-six and dove in.

His real-life interests are many and cover lots of areas. He's got no kids but he and his wife are considering getting a puppy. He works in publishing for a large textbook publisher in the top-secret cutting-edge special-forces custom textbook division, and is gradually getting a Masters with the intention of teaching High School English or Classics or Theater, whichever they'll let him talk about to impressionable young minds.


Mertjai
Mertjai has been playing Legend for.. ever? He's a transplanted Canadian in Arizona who enjoys English naval history and Stop-motion animation with Lego. He works on computers for his profession, and in his spare time, he works on computers. Did I mention he works on computers? He has no children three cats should count for something.

Rufus
Rufus has been with LegendMud for quite a long time. Almost boasting a degree in philosophy, he has also worked at Origin Systems as a game designer. As head builder, Rufus oversaw the implementation and maintenance of the areas on LegendMud. He now spends most of his time on Legend coding, but continues to work on several areas as well.

Rusalka
Rusalka recently graduated with a library science degree at the University of Texas, Austin. She also did an MA in English Literature from the University of Colorado. During the course of her working life, she has worked as a babysitter, an university food services worker, a writing tutor, a grader, a teaching assistant, an adjunct writing instructor, a temp, a technical writer, and currently, a humanities reference librarian at an university library where she perseveres in an neverending quest to Know Everything.

Rusalka's "Real Life" interests include books, wierd BBC shows such as "Black Adder," molecular biology, rubber stamps, Anime, and music (she plays recorders, piano, and acoutic steel string guitar).

Characteristically enough, Rusalka first learned about MUDs through a 1992 article in "The Atlantic." Intregued, she inquired further and eventually found LegendMUD.

Rusalka's Legendary career included being the GuildMistress of the Hermetic Order, in between various bouts of being slain by the Vampire. Rusalka has won expies for her role as a GuildMistress, MUD citizen, and roleplayer, as well as for her work on Tudor England. Set in 1600, it features both Queen Elizabeth I and Shakespeare. She held the first position of Head of Player Relations where she facilitated roleplay, games, discussions, and other things that make Legend more than just a "mere" game. As a PR Assistant, she currently runs the OOC Prize Machine, so let her know if you have suggestions for cool prize strings!


Sandra
Sandra has been playing Legend since early 1995, give or take, and has been an immortal for most of that time. You can see some of her building work in her areas - Salem, Boston, Pittsburgh, and Legends of the Past or speak with her about various Legend issues. She also tends to dabble in the code from time to time, fixing small bugs and writing the occasional spell or skill while she learns to code better, and hopefully not making any more bugs.
Sandra finds herself back in the Pittsburgh, PA area after trying out several different states for a while. You may often hear her complain about the cold weather, even in the summer.

Spencer
Spencer is a 1974 graduate of UT-Austin, with a degree in the Liberal Arts. He has a supervisory position with the Texas Secretary of State, where he has been employeed for the last 18 years. As you may know, he has two children (both of whom play on Legend). Spencer has long enjoyed game playing and fantasy literature as indoor activities and camping and travel as outdoor activities. As a member of the Player Relations Department of the Immortal staff, he spend much of his time assisting new players get the feel of their new environment. He is also working on some things to entertain players and characters.

Straussy
Straussy currently lives in Columbus, Ohio. There he works for the College of Veterinary Medicine at OSU as a guinea pig for various new medicines... erm.. as a database manager. He took the job when he realized the girl to guy ratio was 9 to 1. Who knew he would use what he learned from college!? You can find Straussy online, but more likely than not he is oow working on his areas, namely Titanic.
