Draconis

Promotions Director

Hi I am Draconis I am a recovering character Performer. I have been active in the fandom since 2001 and have not been able to quit as every year I have been on staff serving in some role or another. I have worked nearly all parts of any convention Anime, Sci Fi, gaming and up to being a con chair for a couple of years. As a performer and fursuiter I am all about performing outside when ever I can as it makes for a better experience then say hotel conventions where you are somewhat limited in your surroundings. I have been a professional mascot for a local raceway and look to entertain folks whenever I can with either the variety show or performing just by myself. I hope to get a chance to talk to you during the con assuming you read this before the con is over!
