I chose my username because of the first story my father ever read to me. It is a legend the native peoples of Canada share. The raven, the cleverest of animals, stole the sun, the moon, and the stars for mankind, stole fire for them, helped them with gathering food, taught them many more things. He rescued his brothers from the island of the dead for the sake of his mother and killed his uncle in revenge and to save the nearby village.
I chose the name because the stories in the book embody everything I value in martial arts and in my life, that cleverness can defeat power, that it is a weapon against injustice and to help those who cannot help themselves, that perseverance is a potent quality in achieving ones goals, and that sometimes to change things for the better you have to rock the boat.
Sketco is the raven, clever, compassionate, and a bit of a troublemaker.
