About Jervon Perkins

Once he gets started, he won't stop talking about his love of RPGs. This is especially true if you ask them about BioWare RPGs or Baldur's Gate 3. Astarion, Fenris, Gil, Dorian, Alistair, and Kaidan are some of their video game boyfriends. 

He/him and they/them are his pronouns.

Favorite Games

BioWare RPGs are a big one. Baldur's Gate 3 has been my obsession. JRPGs have always been a staple for me as well!BioWare RPGs are a big one. Baldur's Gate 3 has been my obsession. JRPGs have always been a staple for me as well!

Favorite Console

It wasn't until I was 18 and got my first PS1 that I became as interested in games as I am today. As a result, I've become a hardcore gamer in my free time. The console I prefer depends on the RPG I'm playing. The PS5 is currently leading the console wars. 

Favorite Anime

Sailor Moon wins hands down. As a result, I became obsessed with Japanese pop culture, which led to my obsession with JRPGs, which led to me being obsessed with RPGs in general. Sailor Moon wins hands down.
