Without actually being told what life was supposed to be about, Stephane
Lussier was thrown out into the physical world on the sixteenth day of a
chilly February afternoon.  It was 1969.  The time: 13h14.  The Location:
Montreal, Quebec, Canada, planet unknown.  The experience must have been
traumatic since he can't seem to remember what happened that day.

He had a normal happy childhood.  Made a few friends.  Received a chunk
of paint in his right eye.  Ruined a kitchen sink.  Got kicked in the right
eye by a four-year-old foot.  Watched the building on the other side of
the street take in fire.  Was hit in the right eye with the edge of a broom
stick.  Fried a few grasshoppers with a giant magnifying-glass.  Normal
happy childhood.

But somehow, strangers always thought that something was wrong with him.
Which isn't such a bother to him since he always thought that there was
something wrong with the others.  I guess that's what happens to you when
you don't mix too much with the crowd.

He was a decent student until he finished high school; he received his
honorary certificate almost every year.  But as his studies became more
serious, his road became more erratic.  He studied pure and applied
sciences, theoretical computer science, human sciences, followed by
management computer science.  At 26, he's still an undergraduate and trying
to figure out what went wrong.

He received his first computer at age 15: a Timex Sinclair 1000 (also known
as ZX81).  The same year, he was introduced to roleplaying games.
Roleplaying games led him to cartooning and cartooning led him to draw
those multiple t-shirt logos and mascot proposals for Project Galactic
Guide.  It would seem like the Project is encouraging him to write a bit
more.  He would like to apply his "talents" to other uses and he's
collecting all sort of ideas for cartoons and stories.

Culturally speaking, Stephane grew up watching TV from five different
cultures: English Canada, French Canada, France, UK and USA.  We could say
that Douglas Adams is the author who stimulated him to read a bit more,
which wasn't a very popular thing to do in his family.  He occasionally
reads more serious stuff.

His vision in his right eye is somewhat blurrier than in his left one.
