Hello, Hermertians. I wish to become a citizen of Hermertia. I offer my services as a redstone engineer. I'm still an apprentice of this field, but I am learning quickly. I have had the wonderful opportunity to travel to see some of the world's most complex computation machines, built by master redstone smiths. I've even had the pleasure to program, at a very high level, some of these machines. One of the greatest sources of my fascination for redstone engineering comes from the iron golem. This creature is driven by a miniature redstone computer.
I come from a land far from here called the Crystal City. It is in a desert, stripped of its sand, where in the name of modernism the buildings tower into the blue sky, sparkling in the sun with their immense quantities of glass. It is a beautiful city but uses a disgusting amount of imported water to feed its green lawns. It is for the rich, and I am by no means rich, but I lived there for several years, learning the craft of redstone. I left the Crystal City for a new home, such as Hermertia, because I believe in keeping the environment clean, and I wish to shape redstone in the name of the earth from whence it comes.
Before living in Crystal City I was a vagabond among a small group of other wanderers. We lived off the land, camping, trapping, fishing, never staying long enough in one spot to build much more than a watchtower or a shelter carved into the side of a mountain. It was a nice life but I began having ambitious visions when I traded a rabbit hide for a pouch of redstone, and when I started experimenting with it. I promptly left my vagabond family in search of a redstone education.
I learned to program pre-built computers before even touching redstone dust myself. I've programmed in behaviors of iron golems, but I hadn't created from scratch simple logic gates; however I am just now getting into this, which is why I call myself a novice. I hope that as I experiment and learn more about building my own computers from redstone, my services will be valuable to the Mercurian Empire.

Hello! I'm Max, I'm 18, and here are some facts about me. Here is a past Minecraft build:

I've been playing Minecraft since beta 1.6.6.
I like computer programming (with Java and C++) and you can see some of my games here:

I've worked on collaborative projects before (e.g., a Nether-hub, an endermen farm), and I'm excited to become a part of Hermertia!
