So, when I started, I think it was on a forum website that's still up today, and that you can still find me at today. It started with everyone shitting around, but as time went on, it grew into something more. It got an actual story, actual characters. But we were all still really cringy at it. (I still think I'm cringeworthy sometimes.)
Ultimately, I found a close friend through this site(Gavin). Then, came what I call, "Era of Developous."
At first, the user mentioned above - Developous - was mostly fine. He created an RP system, The Nexus, and proceeded to spread it to his vast amount of other RPs he created. Multiple of them, I have pitched on other sites, to no avail. However, eventually, things got toxic. He forced the Nexus system down other people's throats, announced he wanted to "unite all of gaming" under the Nexus system, and started reporting people to the mods for saying something negative about the system. He was told to stop flagging people, but he didn't. The guy got himself banned, eventually.
A spam attack later occurred, a shitton of NSFW content was plastered everywhere and I ended up being forced off by my mom so I wouldn't have to see more of that shit - I was determined to stick around through the shitstorm, but it eventually got to me. I came back about a year later, to find the roleplays of the site have long died out. Been spending a fair amount of my time since then trying to start the roleplays back up, to no avail.
On the way, I joined other RP sites, but never stuck around long there. I couldn't find myself joining another RP site permanently...
Then, came the Omniverse. My home for RPing since I found it.
I am still happy to this day that I found the Omniverse while wandering the internet. I was not used to writing big posts, but eventually I sucked it up and started doing it. We've had multiple bumps along the way - and a lot of shitty posts...And a big brick wall(Most old-timers know what I'm talking about, but don't you dare bring it up). But overall, it's been a hell of a ride, and I can't wait to see what comes next through my time here. If it weren't for this place, roleplaying would likely be a distant memory for me by now. Thank you guys, SO MUCH, for helping me keep that spark for roleplaying. I feel like I've developed as a writer a lot since I showed up here, and I can't wait to see what comes next, in my own Omniversal future and Mick's.
Thanks again, guys,
