'''Deyna T. Otter''', a.k.a. Donald Jerome Moore (born December 6, 1985), is an amateur [[writer]], [[comedian]], poker player and poet who lives in [[Wikipedia:Cincinnati, Ohio, USA|Cincinnati, Ohio, USA]]. He currently works as a bartender and low stakes poker player.

== Comedy ==

Deyna made his comedic debut at [[Rocket City Furmeet]] 2006 during the Open Rant with [[2]]. He, along with [[Isfacat]] and [[Bucktown Tiger]], were recognized as the funniest people in the room, with Isfacat winning first, Bucktown Tiger winning second and Deyna taking third (Isfacat went on to open for [[2, The Ranting Gryphon]] at the next RCFM). Deyna returned to RCFM 2007 and re-entered the Open Rant, taking second place while Bucktown Tiger and Mrs. Goblin tied for first.

In September of 2007, Deyna, along with his friends Isfacat and Bucktown Tiger, was asked to be a part of the [[Flea Collar Comedy Tour]] at [[Mephit Furmeet]]. Along with [[Adric Verminus]] and [[Tahamaki]], the group suceeded in making the room roar with laughter.

Deyna was asked to perform at [[Oklacon]] with his friends Isfacat and BuckTown Tiger, but had to cancel due to his financial situation.

At [[Rocket City Furmeet]] in 2009, Deyna was the opening act for Isfacat, the headliner.

Deyna's comedic style can be described as observational, self-depriciating and non-sequitur, mixed with impersonations of Ozzy Osbourne and other music celebrities.

== Writing ==

Deyna writes stories revolving around five characters: Deyna T. Otter, [[Manuel "Shadow" Martinez]], Morisoti Koichi, [[A.L.T.A.]], and the Phoenix. His writings are generally dramatic works based around fantasy or sci-fi.

== Poker ==

Deyna is an ameteur poker player with aspirations to turn pro. He is striving to hone his skills and increase his seed money to be able to play in the World Series of Poker's $1,500 No Limit Hold 'Em event within the next 5 years.

In 2008, at Midwest Fur Fest in Wheeling, IL, Deyna took second place in the Charity Poker Tournament to [[Aiden Raccoon]]. While he entered heads-up the chip leader, an all-in call reduced him to a 3:1 underdog and eventually garnered him a 2nd place finish.

In December of 2008, he attended the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cincinnati_reds Cincinnati Reds] "Redsfest" Charity poker tournament. He finished in 95th place out of 560+ entrants, and did not win any prize money.

In April of 2009, at [[Furry Connection North]], he finished 10th in the charity poker tournament.

In May of 2009, at [[Rocket City Furmeet]], Deyna was eliminated during the semi-finals of the charity poker tournament.

Deyna is a regular at the poker room in the Hollywood Casino (''formerly Argosy Casino'')in Lawrenceburg, IN. His games of choice are $1/$3, $2/$4 and $2/$5 No-Limit Texas Hold'em and $3-$6 Limit Hold'em. He enjoys playing Omaha Hi/Lo Split, 7-Card Stud Hi/Lo split and 7-Card Stud but does not play for cash. The dealers at the Hollywood Casino know Deyna as "Otter" because he carries a little plush otter with him at the tables. The otter's name is "Splash" and Deyna uses him to amuse and distract opponents at the table.

Deyna plays irregularly online on PokerStars.com, Fulltiltpoker.com and Cakepoker.com under the screenname Deyna_Otter. He can usually be found at the micro and low stakes Limit Hold'em tables, 8-game tables and some low stakes sit'n'go tournaments.
