About Owen

Owen's other name is "Xavier Ignacio Andre Yochkov Ian Nanguo" ("Xia Yin" for short).

He was born on an obscure island in the middle of Pacific Ocean 2 weeks after his parents' plane crashed during a family trip to the South Pole. Miraculously unhurt, his parents swam 47 kilometers and were finally rescued by an ugly mermaid who later taught their son the occult language of Poseidonian which to date has had a speaking population of 13 people, Owen included.

Owen's parents had been truly optimistic about being saved some day throughout the entire 8 years stuck on the island and surrounded by exotic plants, but at the end of the 8th year, they decided it was time to give their son some formal education apart from Owen's abundant knowledge about the indigenous fruits and insects.

The family sailed across the misty ocean on the back of the aforementioned mermaid in spite of her violent objections. 7 days and 7 nights later, they reached South China Sea but sailed on untill they disembarked in Shanghai. The family thanked the mermaid profusely before selling her to a renowned local museum. "Ullaluk akmak!" was the last Poseidonian expression Owen heard from the mermaid, and he was perplexed by her passionate body language. He thought she wanted to pee but the museum guys wouldn't let her. He had no idea what she was screaming about because all he could speak in Poseidonian were "akkumak" which means "coconut" and "akkumak akkumak" which means "get lost".

Owen's parents lied about their son's real age by filing his identity record with their arrival date as his birthday. But Owen knew better. His real birthday was February 29th, 1978 and because of that no kindergarten or primary school were willing to enroll him.

Owen had to learn all by himself from a thick stack of porno magazines stolen from his neighbor. He fervently devoured this eclectic material and acquired an amazing set of vocabularies, drawing skills, and anatomical knowledge. Sadly, Owen was never good at math and could only study computer science later on.
