Altzio
I chose the name Altzio, as the combination of the protagonists from the first two Assassin's Creed; Altair, and Ezio. I fused them together and formed Altzio.
Assassin's Creed and Me
My real name is Ryan Wertin, and I live in Rochester, New York. I love sports, but also gaming especially the Assassin's Creed series. I first found out about it through a YouTube trailer, and I bought the first Assassin's Creed with Christmas money in 2007. Like many other fans, I loved Assassin's Creed and I was eager for new content. Between AC one and two, I was active on forums like IGN, GameSpot, 1191 A.D. Brotherhood, and more.
I was incredibly excited when I heard about Assassin's Creed 2, and how it would center on a new character and setting. I loved Altair, but I knew that Ubisoft would deliver another Assassin's Creed game that would be even better. I pre-ordered the Assassin's Creed 2 Black Edition. I stayed up until midnight the night before AC 2 came out and camped outside of my local GameStop. I spent the next two months after AC 2 came out exploring it and finding every feather and glyph. I bought both DLC's that came out, even though the Battle of Forli was a pretty big let down. After AC 2 was released, I began the vicious cycle of frequenting forums again and searching for any piece of news about the next game in the series. I learned that Ubisoft planned to release yet another AC, and this one just a year after the second! I learned everything I could about the upcoming game, and pre-ordered the Collector's Edition.
After what felt like an endless wait for Brotherhood, it was finally November. As I prepared for AC: Brotherhood, I wondered how Ubisoft could manage to do two AC games in two years, it just felt too good to be true. I did a little more digging, and learned that Brotherhood was planned to be another AC installment, just much smaller in scale, but complete with multiplayer. I loved the AC storyline, but I knew that even though it was shortened, it would still be great.
As Brotherhood's release drew closer, I began to learn more about the multiplayer, and as I did, I realized how excited I was for the multiplayer alone. I studied each multiplayer character, and learned as much as I could about them so that I could dominate the multiplayer. The day Brotherhood came out, I raced through the story, but like in AC 2, I was left at a cliffhanger at the ending. I was a bit annoyed too, but I knew that the AC multiplayer would rectify that only flaw, and it did.
AC multiplayer was revolutionary to me. I had played the shooters like Call of Duty, and Gears of War, but I just wasn't into their multiplayer like I was with AC: Brotherhood's. I had bought the new Call of Duty, but I never played it until January. I got so engrossed into the world of AC multiplayer, that I just forgot about all of my other games. I reached level 50 long before January, but it wasn't until January that I remembered Call of Duty. That's how I would describe my AC experience in a nutshell, it distracted me from everything else in my life, I completely zoned into this intricate world that Ubisoft had built whenever I played AC.
Wikia
I admit that even though I'm behind on this AC Wikia, I already love it. Seeing other AC Fans edit and create pages and seeing out combined knowledge and love for this incredible series is amazing. I find it mind-blowing that we as simple fans can create over 1,200 pages, each armed with the best knowledge from each of the games.
