Who is Cervantes?
Cervantes is a regular on the CompSci.ca forums and in the IRC channel. He introduced himself in the Official hello world thread like so:
"Ahoy maties. I be Cervantes, and my hobbies include the following:
- Rape and Pillage
- Death and Destruction
- Sailing the High Seas
If ye be so inclined as to join me on my expeditions, ye must be the sole reason for the evacuation of an entire town population greater than 50, ye must never have been in prison, ye must kill a ninja, and ye must not say "Shiver me Timbres" like that creepy Paul Bian character."
The Name
Cervantes originally got his name from the pirate in Soul Calibur, which he played on the Sega Dreamcast. Since then, he has discovered Miguel de Cervantes, who he also thinks is quite cool.
Cervantes' name was first degraded by TokenHerbz, who called him "Canvas". After being severly reprimanded, TokenHerbz did not learn his lesson: He went on to call Cervantes other grotesque variations.
Academics
Cervantes is entering first year university at the University of Wateroo to study Math. His intended major is Mathematical Physics, but that might change, as Computational Mathmematics also catches his eye.
Sports
Cervantes has played soccer since he was 7 years old. He entered the rep system two years later, and has played on some fairly high calibur teams, such as Glen Shields. He is playing badminton quite seriously; Cervantes also enjoys cycling.
Music
Cervantes likes the older music. The Rock & Roll of Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly; the 60's pop of The Beatles, The Kinks, and The Band; the rockin' folk of Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Simon & Garfunkel, Dire Straits; the pyschedalia of Yes and Jimi Hendrix; and the classic rock of various others, including Quicksilver Messenger Service, Fleetwood Mac, CCR, The Guess Who/Bachman Turner Overdrive, Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, old Rolling Stones, Supertramp, The Who, and Eric Clapton.
Cervantes greatly dislikes rap and doom/death metal. Punk is pretty high up there, too.

Past Avatars
Cervantes' avatars must always have some correlation back to the name "Cervantes". This is usually in the form of adding a bit of pirate to the avatar, with the exception of Buddy Cervantes, which was a mix between an image of Miguel de Cervantes and Buddy Jesus.
