I am Varauk. I joined Wikipedia because of my friend, Jakkinx., who advised me to enter into this community. My name derives from the name of my character in the online MMO, Epic Duel. My character, Varauk, is a Level 30 Bounty Hunter, and I typically employ high level Smokescreen, Field Medic (the most under rated ability in the game) and Bloodlust in battles. My friend Jakkinx also plays, under the names Jakkinx and Jakkkinx, with a Mage and Bounty Hunter respectively. On Wikipedia, I wish to try a little of everything, as I am new and don't know much about it. Hopefully, I can contribute through counter-vandalism and work on video game articles, particularly the restoration of many of the Artix Entertainment projects, such ad Epic Duel and Adventure Quest Worlds. If you have anything you'd like to bring to my attention, please leave a message on my talk page.

Machado de Assis (1839–1908) was a Brazilian novelist, poet, playwright and short-story writer, widely regarded as the greatest writer of Brazilian literature. In 1897, he founded and became the first president of the Brazilian Academy of Letters. He was multilingual, having taught himself French, English, German and Greek later in life. Machado's work shaped the realist movement in Brazil and the birth of the Brazilian republic made Machado become more critical and an observer of the Brazilian society of his time. Generally considered to be Machado's greatest works are Dom Casmurro (1899), Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas (Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas, also translated as Epitaph of a Small Winner) and Quincas Borba (also known in English as Philosopher or Dog?). In 1893, he published "A Missa do Galo" ("Midnight Mass"), often considered to be the greatest short story in Brazilian literature. This photograph of Machado was taken by the Brazilian photographer Marc Ferrez in 1890.Photograph credit: Marc Ferrez; restored by Adam Cuerden
