Courageous:

==Biography==
Joined the mysterious cult-LOpSoc in January 2014 and has been part of the chorus in all shows since. Webmaster of the society in 2015/16 and 2016/17. Had a great time as a producer of [[H.M.S. Pinafore 2015]] (major achievement: getting golden sequin PINA4 tops on stage), and is loving to work as one of the musical directors in [[Gondoliers 2016]]. Some say Renata is a secret fairy and immortal, or perhaps a mere collective illusion arising from a combination of Ribena overdose and silent moments during tech runs... Who knows... Will try to sing anything from high soprano to low tenor. And fail when attempting the bass line. Note: has a long plait. Why? We may never find out...

=== Skills ===
-Balancing a bottle upon the head

-Tap dancing down stairs and jumping from the raise

-Casting a magical spell over the Gondoliers cast and making them chant in canon and dance, scaring many students who wander the halls outside

-OLD PEOPLE MAKEUP

-Data Wizard, because science is magic!

=== Fresher Legends ===

-Has a very wide voice range, it confuses us as to how

-Can coax an amazing voice out of the quietest person in her vocal workshops

-She wears one single plait, origin unknown

Courageous: /* History of Roles */

Amber, a first year music student, joined LOpSoc in 2016 for Fiddler on the Roof, not expecting the tag team cult effort of [[Ben Walker]] and [[Katie Giles]] raining down meaning that it was too late for escape. She may have questionable murderous French ancestors, so we don't mock her TOO much, for the safety of our English souls.

Having fled the burning remains of Anatevka in [[Fiddler on the Roof 2016]], she now moves onto getting sweet revenge on [[Katie Giles]] in her role as Vittoria in the upcoming run of The Gondoliers by refusing to let her ruin the plan of eschewing the gondoliers in favour of Marco and Giuseppe by way of violence. She is also taking on the mammoth task of clothing the entirety of LOpSoc with beautiful clothes as the wardrobe director of the aforementioned show.

Courageous: /* Fresher Legends */

== Biography ==
[[File:Bens_Punk_Rock_Adventure.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Ben in full fairy mode in Harrogate before the performance of Iolanthe 2015]]
Born Benjamin Jonathan Oliver Walker, Ben is a second year English and philosophy student (though he prefers the term "philosopher poet") who blundered into LOpSoc more or less by accident in his first year, and stayed because he liked the productions' constant use of the word "wherefore". He is the incumbent Loremaster for the 2015/16 academic year, which means he's now responsible for editing and updating all the pages on here to be more current and "on-message with LOpSoc's new corporate philosophy".

Ben began his PA career searching for personal validation in acid trips of shows like ComedySoc's cross-PA production ''The Case of the Film Genre Killer'' and his own stand-up, with limited success. Soon after Genre Killer ended, he and fellow "innocent" first year [[Katie Giles]] were poached by HMS Pinafore director [[Joe Hand]] (the Inspector from ''Genre Killer'') to screw around in the back of his show, thus beginning a beautiful relationship with Victorian colonial propaganda. Ben then went up to Harrogate with the rest of LOpSoc to be a punk rock fairy - in his words, "if there are three words I want to describe me at all times, those would be the three". There, he made an excellent friend in his cup of tea, which was, to quote " the only thing that didn't have the capacity to hurt me." Building on that success, he's now taking a short holiday to Anatevka to be the world's worst Bolshevik in LOpSoc's 2016 production of [[Fiddler on the Roof 2016]].

After a pretty successful run in Fiddler, he's happy to take on the role of the Duke and Duchess' valet/servant/pet monkey Luiz in LOpSoc's upcoming summer show The Gondoliers. He hopes his grade 8 coconut playing skills will be up to the task.

=== Fresher Legends ===

-Not actually scary, a genuinely nice guy

-Apparently he has limbs like Jon North

-Is definitely not dating Katie

-Will take anything as a challenge. Do not test the theory.

== Major Achievements ==
* Broke the world record for usage of the word “aubergine” in 5 minutes of regular conversation.
* Former TF2 EU Highlander Open quarter-finalist (thereby proving your headshot skill increases as your amount of friends decreases).
* Has written nearly 150,000 words of terrible prose and poetry in his compilation “Streets Swallow Their Own Tails and Choke”.
* Has almost died twice – once due to appendicitis, once due to some terrible unpleasantness on Burgess Road involving a potato.
* TV celebrity baker Paul Hollywood still believes Ben is a homeless apprentice gas fitter named Dan, whom he gave five pounds to help.
* Partner in crime of [[Katie Giles]], and has never dated her. Not now, not ever.
* Beautiful Coiffure award for an ungodly amount of hair gel from Genre Killer which was only fully gone five days later and that nobody will ever let go.
* 60% Johnny Depp. (He's very proud of that.)
