Alyxandria “Alyx (like with a y)” Soluna (they/she) is a spry and youthful 21(+6) year-old originally from the metropolis utopia known as Caruthers but is currently living in Fresno and is a student at Fresno City College. She previously attended FCC as an English major from 2015 to 2019 but took a break and is in her second semester returning as a photography major. Alyx is an extremely worldly individual with such groundbreaking hobbies like playing video games, watching movies, and listening to music. As these are all very obscure and unique interests, it’s not uncommon to have no idea what any of them are about which truly goes to show how interesting she is as an individual. In addition, Alyx is an avid “funny voice maker” and can do riveting impersonations of some of the greatest figures in history like Hank Hill from “King of the Hill” and Viktor from “Arcane.” Another interesting fact about Alyx is that she used to compete semi-professionally in fighting games like “Street Fighter,” “Tekken,” and “Injustice” and would often do voice commentary for and organize events in the Fresno area as well as online. She was even the first person in the world to achieve master rank, the highest ranking, in 2023’s “Street Fighter 6” with the “random character select” option which is sure to impress every individual reading this. While she obviously has absolutely zero credible experience working in a journalistic environment, she quite clearly brings and professional demeanor that comes off as very cutesy and very demure that will lend to breakthroughs for journalists everywhere around the world.

Matthew Rodriguez was born and raised in Fresno California and throughout all 21 years of his life he has lived there. Growing up he was really into funny things like video games and movies. He didn’t keep up with the news that much. Along the way of growing up he found a love of animals, this led to pursuing a career as a veterinarian. Although when faced with the career he became unhappy with the study, and after a lot of thought he decided to drop it entirely. After spending some time outside of college Rodriguez would return to Fresno City college with a different career path in mind, filmmaking. Fresno City college didn’t offer a film major, so he’d major in journalism instead with the hope of transferring from City to some place that offered more in the way of film. But along the way he learned a lot of stuff important to journalism. One of these skills is writing, which Rodriguez had to do a lot of due to taking a screenwriting course which focused on building a narrative structure and many journalism courses which focused on writing news stories or the way that they were written, and evaluating them. Working on the set of a couple films also gave Rodriguez valuable teamwork skills, like collaboration, communication, organization and general people skills like being cordial, open and a greater appreciation for the people who work alongside him. Overall despite journalism not being his career goal, he has enjoyed what it has to offer, so much so that he has now become an editor for the Rampage.
