Serf:Nuntar

From KneeQuickie

Michael S. Repton (1982–), known as Nuntar on the ZBB, is a writer and conlanger, a South African who grew up (and still lives) in England. He joined the board in October 2003 to ask for help with his in-progress conlang Arêndron and has remained ever since; he is notorious as the board member with the most posts (albeit split between two accounts) and the one who has met more others in person than any other ZBBer.

Nuntar is currently working on a novel, The Adventures of Athribar. After several drafts that went down blind alleys and were abandoned after a few chapters, he now (as of June 2007) has a complete draft and is working on redrafting the novel before submitting it for publication.

Nuntar's conworld is Atragam; the northern part of the continent is dominated by Arêndron, but he has worked on other conlangs as well, notably Vardeu. He was part of the collaborative team that created Shaja, and one of his planned future projects is to create a Shaja descendant language to incorporate into Atragam.

Nuntar is also the originator of Z-SAMPA, a ZBB-specific extension of X-SAMPA.

Nuntar is currently (since May 2007) dating fellow ZBBer Valeran Lothaniel, known as Hokulani.
