About myself
My usual username is Xelaalex, those who come across this page may know me from deviantART or on Youtube as Xela12345, I chose the name Tallon X to fit the Metroid theme.

I have been a Metroid fan for several years, initially with my introduction to Samus Aran in Super Smash Bros Brawl back in 2002, followed by when I rented Metroid Prime for Gamecube in 2003/4. Metroid is a very unique fandom for me, as I am usually repelled by scary, disturbing games (including Halo, namely the Flood) but I have a large amount of interest in the massive universe the games come together to create. I have very recently finished the post-credits story of Other M (in 3 days) and am intending to take my time in finishing the game 100%. I have in a rather typical way (for me) finished or nearly finished most of the 3D games (excluding Metroid Prime 3, and in Metroid Prime 2 I can't beat the final boss) while in the 2D Metroid games I generally find myself stuck in the middle somewhere, or lose interest.

History with Metroid
I have practically all the Metroid games, save for Metroid Zero Mission, I will explain how I obtained each one.

Metroid: First obtained out of curiosity as the NES Classics port for the Gameboy Advance in 2005 and later bought on Virtual Console in 2007

Metroid 2: Obtained from a local private videogames store Summit Games in 2008, mainly bought for collection purposes

Super Metroid: Bought on Virtual Console shortly after Metroid

Metroid Prime: First rented in 2003/4 then later bought in 2007 out of having enjoyed Hunters a great deal

Metroid Prime 2: Bought in 2007 after having finished Metroid Prime

Metroid Prime 3: Bought 2 weeks ago as a potential birthday present

Metroid Prime Trilogy: Obtained in 2009 as a birthday present

Metroid Prime Hunters-First Hunt: Obtained with my first Nintendo DS in 2006

Metroid Fusion: Obtained in 2009, bought online

Metroid Other M: Obtained in 2010 as a Birthday Present

whew I think that's the last of them... My personal favorite is probably Prime as it is the game I know best, and I am currently uploading a speedrun of the game on Youtube (6 hours and 15 minutes) I am particularly fond of the Crashed Frigate segment, being a wonderfully relaxing change from the usual atmosphere, and I find it fascinating how the tall room near the entrance changes when you obtain the Gravity Suit (I will at some point post a screenshot of what the area looks like at that point), I am also fond of Metroid 2 and I adore the SR388 Overworld theme, which I wish they would remix for a newer Metroid game (in my opinion its better than Brinstar's) though I haven't gotten far in the game yet (the open rooms and spread out layout confuse me) ====

Works of fandom
I am a keen artist and story-writer, and I have created a fair amount of my own ideas to fit into the world of Metroid, firstly is the GF-X. a new form of X Parasite which similarly to the Metroids of SR388 were captured by the Galactic Federation to be used as Bioweapons. The bioforms would be raised to obey the Galactic Federation and then sent to absorb the DNA and immitate the local bioforms of different planets and regions working as spies and to collect raw material for the Galactic Federation. These X Parasites would be entitled to a single job depending on the work they perform, however if they become too familiar with their surroundings and begin to live with the bioforms they immitate they will eventually stop obeying the Galactic Federation and will instead live as the bioforms they are immitating, living and attacking upon instinct. I have drawn the GF-X itself and two bioforms they can immitate, note that because of the way GF-Xs are raised their transformed appearances retain some humanoid features such as body shape or facial features.

Of course, as with the Metroids that were raised in Sector Zero in Other M, Samus sets out to destroy these illegal bioweapons, though they are a great deal smarter than the bioforms they live with, so she must be extra careful when fighting them.

I have also begun writing a fan-fiction of Metroid Prime entitled Metroid Prime: S.A.M.U.S. (a name that really needs changing) you can read it here http://xelaalex.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d1f4qnf a crossover between the worlds of Metroid and Mass Effect (a Bioware-created Action-RPG series which shares a very similar world to Metroid), I used techniques such as the Scan Visor section to help the reader to understand features of the story, as well as to fit the spirit of the Prime series. Ryna is an Asari, a non-playable yet very significant species seen in the Mass Effect series, here is a picture of one http://www.masseffect-game.de/downloads/wallpapers/fanart/ac_postman/WP_AC_1600.jpg a Turian is another species prominent in Mass Effect, pictured here http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/4942/224596-nihlus_super.jpg
