Personal life
Born and growing up initially in a small town in Virginia, Catherine developed a passion for modeling and photography early on.

Education
Beginning in high school, Catherine enrolled in the Arlington Career Center's program for photography. She took IB Art for two years, and received four gold keys in the Scholastic Arts & Writing competition her senior year.

In 2011, she enrolled at the Columbus College of Art and Design. Unhappy with the curriculum there, she transferred to Columbus State Community College, where she acquired an associates degree in digital photography.

Catherine owns and operates Aimei Photography in Columbus, which she established based on her degree. With some friends of hers, she created the "COI-Stock" account on DeviantArt, a popular source for free images from her portfolio.

Dozerfleet involvement
On February 24th of 2015, Catherine's "Portrait Shot 4" was modified to make her resemble Hea Pang, as part of a campaign to give photographic appearances to as many Gerosha characters as possible while Sodality: Vindication was being planned. She has remained the default model to portray Hea since, in spite being a few inches taller than Hea is supposed to be.

Education
In addition to his time at Ferris, John attended Osaka Gaikokujin University through a study abroad program hosted by Grand Valley State; as a means to learn Japanese fluently enough to both teach Japanese language courses and encourage ESL students in his hometown with a Japanese background how to improve their English. He also received an English Studies Associate of Arts degree from Grand Rapids Community College, where he was also the vice president of its 2005-era anime club.

He was also a member of the club "GRC4," which focused on computer building, programming, and socializing.

In November of 2013, he was declared a member of the Sigma Tau Delta International English Honor Society.

Career
One of the earliest job positions John mentions on his profile is his involvement as a service clerk at Family Fare, which he began in September of 2008. In 2006, he also began involvement in a non-profit dubbed "Putt-Putt for Life," connected to the Brian Bush Memorial. The event's proceeds also went toward helping the St. Jude Children's Hospital. From May to October of 2011, he was a backroom inventory tracker for the Family Network of Wyoming. He worked 2 months between December of 2009 and January of 2010 as a driver for UPS, then performed light industrial work for Nuvar from June - December of 2010. This position was given via the Beacon Professional Staffing group.

From September of 2013 until September of 2015, he was a tutor of Japanese to students at Grand Valley State University.

Dozerfleet involvement
In 2008, John was involved in Dozerfleet operations to a small degree. He agreed in January to portray Prince Volkonir for the Volkonir film of that year that was being produced for Video Production II class. He even lent his likeness to the character. However, he had to back out at the last minute due to some complications.

He was also involved with the founder of Dozerfleet at the time in coming up with a DVD cover design for Tales of the Past III, a fanfiction film by Martin Falch for the Warcraft mythos. Around that same time, John was involved with the Blue Moon Inn forum at Proboards.

Dozerfleet involvement
This fairly secretive artist became the facial template for Luin Kim from Camelorum Adventures on July 5th of 2016, when her "Stock: Portrait 1" photo was altered digitally into a live action Luin Kim mugshot. Around that time, she has acquired over 280 watchers and been favored over 130 times. She has been submitting deviations since early 2009.

Hobbies
Much like Ardhana, she is a hobbyist photographer. She also claims on her DeviantArt profile to like cats. She is otherwise very secretive.

She did post a video to her YouTube channel of a tour through the streets of Jakarta.

Dozerfleet relevance
Via permission to modify, Ardhana allowed certain images of Nanda to be tweaked to portray the Flippo triplets of Candi, Miriam, and Marina in 2012. She was to be the main model portraying the girls in stock photography for the Cataclysmic Gerosha timeline. Due to her bodily shape not matching the girls, and her general inactivity and difficulty in being reached for feedback, she was eventually replaced with Lee Loo La for the part in mid-2015.

She may have a face more accurately similar to those of the Flippo triplets, but Lee has a closer overall body shape.

Dozerfleet involvement
On July 1st of 2016, Sito Alvina's photo Inmate" featuring Susan was modified to create the image "Susan Coffey as Anita Hallot" on the BulldozerIvan DeviantArt gallery. This is due to her strong resemblance to Anita Hallot from Camelorum Adventures, as portrayed by Irina Anghel's sketch "Street Sweeping Team."  Susan remains the facial template for Anita, though she has admitted in a video to being a lot more shy in real life than the fallen radio personality she portrays in concept art for the series.

Hobbies
According to her DeviantArt page, Shen is eager to teach Chinese culture to whomever shows interest - even going so far as to say she'd "be greatly honored." She also enjoys photomanipulation; setting up her account largely to see what others are willing to do with her pictures. She also enjoys painting. Her favorite music band has been listed as being Jay Chou.

Dozerfleet relevance
In 2015, Shen's picture was chosen as the official look for the Cataclysmic Gerosha timeline's version of Mingmei "Stung Hornet" Cheng. This "Chinese answer to Marvel's Black Widow" character seemed a perfect fit for Shen to portray, given her uncanny resemblance to prior artworks depicting the character in various games. The other reason Shen was chosen was due to her policy on image sharing and alteration being fairly flexible.

Languages spoken
Shen's native language is Chinese. However, she has learned a few words of English and claims to know some words of French also.

Dozerfleet involvement
On March 22nd of 2015, Spenelo's "OLE Stock 2" photo became the facial template for Bolte Chipotle. This made him one of four stock models as of September of 2016 to be chosen to portray a Phaemer Village Peacekeeper.
