10 Year Anniversary

[Darth Carnifex]

Today marks my 10 year anniversary of making an account on Chaos.

I joined while I was in the back half of my senior year in high school, and I migrated from a Star Wars: Clone Wars RP website alongside my now long-time friend Darth Voracitos . Chaos' premise drew me in, and I was surprised by the fact that there was no character approval process like there had been on other sites I'd joined. The freshness of the site, which had only been set up several months prior back in 2012, and the far-flung setting gave me ideas of how I could create a character completely untethered by any pre-existing canon. This was just before Disney bought Lucasfilm, so Legends was the only Star Wars that we knew.

The first character I created was Kaine Zambrano, who was a deviation from a character I had written on the aforementioned Clone Wars site called Jarex Zambrano. I'd also written a Jarex Zambrano on a site called Age of the Sith, but neither of those characters really grew into their own. I've been writing Kaine Zambrano as my only active character for these past 10 years, and like any character there's been ups and downs in terms of writing quality and engagement. There's validity in discussing whether or not a character has overstayed their welcome, and I think that can certainly ring true for Kaine Zambrano. He's a character that's persisted through a great deal of site upheaval, many empires coming and going, and the majority of his contemporaries dying off or fading into obscurity. I think he has overstayed his welcome, and that's more than likely up to my inability to want to let the character go, mostly because I find him very enjoyable to write, but also because I don't know what I'd do in that scenario.

Ramblings aside, I've enjoyed Chaos these 10 years. It's been an amazing community, and among the best I've ever come across. I'm still immensely pleased to have remained a part of it, even when I haven't been the most upstanding member of the community. I hope Chaos still keeps trucking forward, and I get to enjoy this place for many more years.

Preach it, brother.

Congratulations on double digits! I'm about seven months behind but I'm getting there!

Also if you're ever looking to retire Kaine, you know where to find me.

Now all I’m imagining is a grizzled bearded Kaine sitting on a rustic porch overlooking the scenic vistas of Midvinter.

Not at the rate you keep switching to younger bodies.

Be proud of them grey hairs, my dude.

 

[Kahlil Noble]

I'll give you grey hairs just u wait.

Congrats tho. That's a long time. You were one of those folks I never interacted with much at the beginning, mostly cause I used to think folks at the top were unapproachable. Glad that all shifted and I actually did end up talking to you. You're a good friend n' a good writer. So keep writin even if you feel too old.

 

[Darth Malum of House Marr]

Malum gonna kill you in our current thread, so glad you could reach 10 Years before that.

 

[Darth Ophidia]

Congratulations!

 

[Valery Noble]

Grats on the time spent here! Writing with you has been a blast, so hopefully, a lot more of it will follow Keep at it~

 

[Darth Voracitos]
