Information
Abyss Master, also known as Dan by his friends (short for Daniel, which is his full first name), is a part of several internet communities, most of these being Zelda related, and his alias being Abyss Master all over. He is approaching his first year as a part of the online Zelda community, the exact date being the 19th of February 2007 when he first joined LegendOfZelda.com. He has later joined communities like Zelda Universe, The Hylia and Zelda Dungeon, though LegendOfZelda.com is his preferred website. He is one of the few Norwegian members at the website, and is proud of his nationality and language. He is also an active member of the LegendOfZelda.com Forums, participating in the many topics and discussions at the website. He is also currently in a staff position as a Review Writer, and also has during the last LoZ.com Awards Show hosted on Game Over, won the awards Best Overall Member, Best Sheikah along with his fellow Sheikah Guilty Tribute, and You Need To Get Out More, further proof of his activeness.

History
Abyss Master began his time at the Internet in late 2006, as he had just acquired Twilight Princess, and searched for eventual secrets and hints he could use. However, due to a slow and bad Internet connection, his time on the net was very limited, and he did not find the information he looked for immediately.

By recommendation from his younger brother, Daniel joined the LoZ.com Community in early 2007. He went under the alias Prince of the Dragons at that time, and his appearance was brief as his Internet connection disappeared, only to be replaced by broadband about a month after. Prince returned to the website when the first rounds of the Link Almighty Tournament was going on at LoZ.com, and because he had not been present when the deadline for registration came, he did not have a chance of winning at all.

Prince began building up his activity at the forums. He joined the RPG called Paradise in Peril: Callistus, and also became good friends with regular shoutbox users when he reached the mark of 50 posts, though he did take some time before deciding to make an appearance. He did not, however, interact very much with other members before April, after his birthday. He finally decided to go and speak in the shoutbox, and by doing so he got to know several good members who would also later turn out to become Sheikah.

Come May. Prince was beginning to build up respect among a few Sheikah, and also with other regular members. He was then introduced to some of the Moderators, and also the admin Last Chance. Chance soon after contacted Prince, and told him about the program Skype. Daniel downloaded this program, and was soon after also a part of a bigger chat which included several other, good members.

In June, Daniel's exams were approaching. Due to this, his time on LoZ was limited, though he kept a high activity still. And the very same day as he had had his last exam, LoZ.com changed the layout completely, going from traditional green to revolutionizing blue. Then came the holidays, with members leaving on vacation and taking a break. Daniel, however, remained as active as before, if not more, due to more time available.

Beginning of July, Prince changed his name to Abyss Master, with a large donation of points from his brother to purchase the change.

Then came the Awards Show on Game Over, which was delayed due to recording. Daniel got nominated for three awards (You Need To Get Out More, Best Newb and Best Member) though he won none. Around this time, there also happened hackings of both Zelda Universe and Zelda Dungeon, and so LoZ.com disabled registrations momentarily for precautions. Registration was, however, enabled after two weeks when the threat was over.

In August, Abyss Master was made a LoZ.com Sheikah by the admins. Other than this, he pretty much kept a stabile activity at the website, juggling it with school.

The first of October, Abyss Master was made Site Staff as a Review Writer due to a Twilight Princess review he wrote for submission.

In December came the Awards Show again on Game Over, and this time, Abyss Master was nominated for an won the three awards You Need To Get Out More (which he was nominated for in July), Best Sheikah (shared with Guilty Tribute), and Best Member (also nominated for in July).
