Has been a member of MFGG since the 16th of August in 2005. He's not very popular, and has issues with many members. His character is an archetypal anime kid with a pet fireball.
Mechant is currently working on an RPG called "Super Hammer". He's a good friend of Tri, Super Shroom, AkuAkooie, Shockstuff, and surprisingly, Sargeant Jinpen. As of May 9, 2006, Chunky was so overused by Mechant, that they filtered it out into a ridiculously large image.
Mechant also calls Leon Mangus "Jimmy" which annoys him to a large extent.
Claims of French nationality
Mechant constantly claimed to be French, and that he traveled to 48 of the United States on a trip with his girlfriend (though he originally claimed it was a school field trip). He was proven false many times, but consistently lied about his nationality. On June 28th, 2006, a topic was made bringing new information to the table by Tragic. He had used two different last names, one of them being French, the other American. Furthermore, even when he had settled on a French name, he spelled it differently in two different topics (Lacroix/LaCroix). Captain Jeff Silvers checked his IP and noticed it had not changed from when he claimed he was just leaving for America. Let alone 48 times for when he changed states. Tragic also checked his IP from Trisoft Games and noted (using www.hostip.info) that it is based in the United States (this was independently confirmed by Silvers). He also claimed to be posting in the topic while on a plane over the Atlantic, which, of course, is not possible. Moreover, Jay who is an actual, proven French-speaking person, often corrected him in his French spelling and pronunciation errors. Such allegations and corrections lead many to believe he is lying about being French.
On July 4th, 2006, after reviewing Mechant's earlier posts, Tragic stumbled across a "Tell us your real name!!" topic created by Mechant in early 2006. In it he lists a third name which is obviously long and fake. A screen capture is recorded in the second link below.
More evidence is available here and here
On July 8th, 2006, Mechant persisted in his claims, and posted a topic in General Chat about him going to a 4-star hotel in France.
On July 10th, 2006, Mechant still gave hints about his alleged heritage, and referred soccer as "football" (As all European citizens do). He posted a topic about favorite sports, and Shadowman replied college football being his favorite. Mechant asked Shadowman what kind, and Shadowman replied saying that there's only one kind of college football.
On July 11th, 2006, Mechant made a topic saying he bought Flash on eBay for 150 dollars as opposed to Euro, which is France's currency along with that of 11 other European countries such as Ireland.
On July 15th, 2006, Mechant yet again claimed to live in France. At this point, everyone grew viciously sick of his claims of being French. They all unleashed their anger onto Mechant, and few members, especially Mecha, Bidbood, Masakuni and Zasshou, insulted him without any concern for their warns. Mecha was the only one who was brutal, therefore suspended for one day. Klobber locked the topic, warned Mechant, and made a small rule that any debate about Mechant's heritage will result in suspensions.
