Tim Maughan was born on June 14th 1990 in Darlington, County Durham in the United Kingdom, along with his brother, Edward Maughan, to parents Andrew and Karen Maughan.

Tim first displayed a talent for drawing at an early age, when it was largely his only creative output. As time went by, these skills did not improve beyond the scribbled doodles characteristic of most toddlers of his age.

As time passed, he began to read more and more, and developed a knack for spontaneously creating storylines of near-epic length (A talent he unfortunately couldn’t apply to most school tasks…).

Eventually, Tim came across Rich Burlew’s Order of the Stick through his Dungeons & Dragons hobby. The art style and humour, in addition to it’s relation to his hobby, quickly endeared itself to become one of his favourite webcomics.

After about a year of reading the comic, Tim acquired InkScape and learned to draw using a similar Burlewan art style to Order of the Stick. He mostly spent his time with this art in the Arts & Crafts section of the comic’s forum in a series of threads entitled “Avatar Battle Royale”.

Not long after he started participating regularly in ABR, a plot developed and he became a strong participant in it, to the point that his writing streak forced him towards producing historical timelines, geographic maps, and various other details about the land the plot was based in (Which became known as Avbaroy).

When progress in ABR slowed, he opened up a separate thread and began producing a backstory comic to his character in ABR, named for his common forum username (Lyinginbedmon), entitled Remember. After a while, the comic migrated from the forums to this site, and thus Remember was born entirely (This is why a number of the News sections for the earlier comics are written in retrospective).

Trivia

• Tim’s favourite colour is blue and his lucky number is 5
• Tim enjoys both fantasy and science fiction writing, especially Hard Sci-Fi
• Tim is an Atheistic antitheist, and a machine empathiser
• Tim has Asperger’s Syndrome, as well as a mass of strange medical ailments, including photosensitive eyes and nocturnalism (I’m presuming the latter led to the former) and an abnormally high volume of Iron in his blood. Due to gallstones at age 17, he also has no gall bladder, and has had surgery on two toes (One twice) to remedy ingrown toenails. He is well known for having a preference for far higher temperatures than most people, edging his “warm” definition around 40 degrees Celsius.
