Ryan Cahill

General

• In October 2006, was the top-ranked PCAG competitor

• Protege' of Sente Kiteway
• Received the Beaumont scholarship for excellence from Sente
• Resides in Ascendancy Point, L141 R20, overlooking the Mazy River.

• Honored on 11 April for exceptional community service, received key to the city from Council Leader Camryn Scott in a ceremony at Polygon Park
  • Public works efforts include:
    • Visiting schools and hospitals speaking about the PCAG anti-drug policy
    • Helping to organise fund-raisers for research into cognitive disorders

• In the gossip world: begining in AUG-05, he has been cropping up courting Joya.
  • Supposedly, they are "just close friends".
  • 12-DEC-05, the two were spotted having a bit of a tiff.
  • He came to visit Joya just a few hours before Allegra Melody was born.
  • He revealed that his relationship with Joya could only be platonic, because of his sexual orientation

I wonder at the View from Earth column of last week that accuses Perplex City of being intolerant of same-gender sexual preference. I, for one, have never felt that my individual rights limited by my sexuality; though it is amusing to note that the Sentinel and other press want me to be romantically involved with Joya, despite the fact that this is not historically in my nature. At any rate, I assure the concerned people of Earth that there is no concerted effort to obliterate same-gender romances, nor any effort at all. Though we do appreciate the sentiment, I suppose.

PCAG Career

• PCAG Champion of 267 AC
  • Won in a close final match against favourite Serena Duncan.
  • Considered by some to have been overshadowed by the theft of the Cube.
• PCAG Champion of 269 AC
  • Won, for a second time, in a close final match against Serena Duncan.
  • Has, rather optimistically, mused on the possibilities of The Cube being returned during his second reign as champion.

• Lost to Serena Duncan in the 2005 championship season opener.

• 12-SEP-05 - spectacularly defeated Myra Champaign, 6-1
  • The match is seen as a classic example of experience over aptitude.
  • It was a much needed win for Cahill, who has been performing somewhat poorly all season.
  • Was, in many ways, a pivotal point of the 268 season.
  • Some have speculated he was doing quite badly in the season, because he chose to skip the pre-season games.

• Was held to be very very closely tied with rival Serena Duncan, well into the near end of the season.
• The final match between the two was thoroughly exciting, and watched with great excitement and anticipation.
• Finally, Cahill won out over Duncan in the last few rounds of game play.
• She appeared quite bitter, and may be pursuing an investigation on his surprise win.

• May be under investigation for using illicit enhancers throughout the last few weeks of PCAG play for several years.
