I'm another SCAdian, and my persona is Iscah de Merlis, a Venetian merchant's daughter from late 1400's, mostly involved in Bardic and cooking. I also do LARP, occasionally, but it's not really re-enactment of anything except insanity.

Clinton Hammond, where in Canada are you exactly? I'm being nosy, and feel free to PM me with the answer, but I know several people involved with the SCA near Toronto, and they might be able to get you involved with some more, umm... less Star-trek like? But I prefer groups that take themselves less seriously, myself.
