Commonwealth

Picture
As a RLSH I try to bring hope back to my city.  I am a family man and work a hard job outside of my activities, but all of it is more inspiration for what I do in costume.  My colors are blue and yellow to represent the state I have been raised in, and try hard to defend its capital from the despair it finds itself in.  We are in a bankrupt city, and people are losing hope.  But, I am here to remind everyone  that anyone can make a difference.  Let's show the world what Pennsylvanians are made of, and pull our beautiful city and state out of the trenches.  Let us work as our founders did for the common well being of all mankind.

Mission:
It is my honor to serve the community I love.  My privilege to bring hope where there is despair.  My duty to bring justice to those who have been wronged.   I will use every skill that I possess to bring light back to a city that has darkened.  The hungry will eat, the unsheltered be warmed, the streets cleaned.  This is our city, if it is going to get better then  its citizens must act., and I will show them the way.
