Now for another installment of MrScorpio's "Who am I"?

[MrScorpio]

The rules:

- Up to three Yes or No questions per post

- Post as many as you like

- Thread has a FIFTY post limit

Some hints:

- You have three questions to use per post. Anything less than that is a waste

- A lot of you guys will ask the same question. Read the other posts, clues are there

- If you ask bullshit questions, you're fucking it up for everyone else

- If you know what the career path is don't ask unrelated questions

- You should look for these basic clues: Sex, Race, Alive or Dead, Nationality, Occupation, Published or Featured works
