Shadowdancer is the name of a fairly well-known RuneScape player. He joined Wikipedia on September 28, 2005. His first name is Mike, born January 28, 1974, and he resides in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.
Mike was born in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada to mother Barbara and father Richard. He is an only child.
His family always lived in apartment buildings, save for a brief period when he was around 2-3 years old; they rented a duplex townhouse in the west end of town for approximately 6 months. He fondly remembers playing in a wading pool, chewing happily on a chocolate chip cookie that the neighbour gave him.
Mike's mother was always unhappy with where they currently lived, and as a result they were always moving from place to place across town. This led to the young Michael having to switch schools up to three times per school year, which made it rather difficult to make (and, more to the point, maintain) friendships.
When he was approximately four years of age, Michael was outside playing. He was attempting to "sneak up" on the people inside the laundry room of the apartment building he lived in by walking up to the window (which was situated taller than he was) and jumping up and shouting "Boo!". Unfortunately, he failed to look up - the window was the crank style that opened using a handle, much like rolling a car window up or down, causing it to swing outwards. He jumped and promptly cracked his head on the metal frame of the window, shrieking in pain and agony and covered in blood. No serious damage resulted from this event, although he sometimes attributes his quirky behaviour to it.
As Michael grew up (and unashamedly asked his parents to simply stop calling him "Michael" and start calling him "Mike"), he felt that schoolwork was unimportant and began concentrating on having a wonderfully great time in life, succeeding in this endeavour roughly half the time.
