So you want to know about me
eh? - Well, my life is nothing to smile about, as it was rough growing up and
still has its many roughs and bumps along the way. My family was constantly at
each other's throats, duking it out like World War II. It was because of this,
my writing career had an early start. I needed a way to express myself to those
around me and I found words written on a page did that best for me. I never
really got along with my parents and was always in trouble for some reason or
another. It wasn't until I was about 16 or 17 that I took it more of a step
further. But that is another story in and of itself.

After a while, my writing
gradually died out and I rarely spent any time developing it further. It
wasn't until my freshman year that I found the passion for it once again.
Thanks to a group of people, who later became my enemies, my writing once
again picked up speed with co-authoring a book - which is still in the
works. It was also around this time I was introduced to the role-playing
and fantasy scene. Through a simple and quick instruction, I picked it up
naturally and was dying to get my hands on more than what we had going on
between us 5 friends. I searched the internet, stumbling across many
different sites but never really satisfied with what they had to offer. In
July of 2003, my search ended and I found Santharia. It didn't take me
long to fall in love with the people and the environment and I became fast
friends with many of its players.
The road to where I am at now was not an easy one, and included many
learning days along the way. Being taught lessons by your peers is hard
and often painful, yet it is all worth it in the end. I quickly got as
involved as I could with the coming and goings on the board. Becoming a
Mini-Mod early on and soon after CD Mod. Yet, that journey included a
story, co-modding, more Characters than you can count on one - if not two
- hands, countless discussions in IRC with the administrators on different
board developing issues and a consistent learning experience. There is so
much to partake on the site but biting off more than you can chew is easy
to do yet not recommended.
Real life issues have always managed to steal me away from this beloved
site from time to time, yet it never fails to pull me back and welcome
with open arms. The experiences I have had with various positions on the
RPG board have taught me a lot about life in general and what it takes to
be a person with such power and leadership. It is not for the faint of
heart by any means. I guess this is more of a "Thank You" than a biography
but I wanted to express how much Santharia and everyone who is a part of
it means to me.
Santharia is home. Loves <3
