Hey guys.
I thought you needed a little thread to explain a few things.
First things first; most of you already know me from the past five or so years (I don't know/can't remember exactly) and I went by the name of JoC.
This website was the first forum-based RPG I'd ever used; I was 15/16 when I first joined and I was more excited to be joining due to the fact that it was set around a TV Series I loved. I didn't rightly know what to expect but I could never have expected what I was met with. I encountered people -- most of you are still here -- who are truly amazing people as well as extraordinary writers with brilliant imaginations.
Grace, BG, Mikey, CO -- to name a few -- made me feel welcome and really made my experience on the site an enjoyable one. It was very soon after introducing myself in the cbox that I made my first character Jason Sutherland. To be honest, he wasn't well-thought out; it was just a cool thing to do.
As the months past, the years came and before I knew it I'd been on the site roughly two years and it had been amazing. People had come and gone and I'd made some long-term friends; a few of which I still speak to (if rarely) to this day. I made a few more characters (such as Alessandro Moretti) and really got into the swing of things.
I say with sincerity that this site is what sparked my desire to write. They're more than just words to me now; writing is what I do whenever I have the time. If I have a moment to rest, take it from me that there's usually a pen and notepad in my hand. In fact, I'm currently in the process of writing my own piece (I wouldn't say novel; it probably won't be that big).
However, roughly 3 years ago there was an altercation between me and another member of staff and, by my own admission, I made it get out of hand. I was childish at the time and I was being belittling and degrading to the person. I was wrong in doing that and rightfully so it resulted in me getting a ban from the site.
I was devastated but thought to myself, "it's just a website. who cares."
I was wrong; I found myself checking into the site, trying to find a way around the ban and when I did, only getting re-banned. After a year, I thought I'd try speak to a few members and try to make amends as I wanted to rejoin. They chose for me to remain banned which is fair enough.
I tried to speak to the member at hand but things still hadn't settled and they weren't comfortable speaking to me so I opted to leave it at that.
However, a few days ago I spoke to three people and talked through what had happened and I said I'd like to rejoin only if it was okay with the member I'd had the altercation with.
The member said I could rejoin and for that, I am sincerely grateful.
For those who know exactly what happened, I apologise profusely. I really am sorry for the way that I acted and I know some members won't particularly welcome me back with open arms and that's okay. I am just happy to be back on the website.
I cannot explain how thankful I am to be back here and I hope I can thread with you all once again.
I'm planning on bringing back two characters initially;
My first is Alessandro Moretti as he was my first well-thought out and defined character and I want to revisit him. I will update his biography and give it a revamp but one thing is for sure; he's back to see Alice.
The second is Jason. He was my first character so I wanted to re-make him (albeit a bit better) but, due to the fact he manifested five years ago, I couldn't. So he will be my second character and he will have an updated profile (one that doesn't sound ridiculous) as well as a more defined history over the past five years.
I look forward to talking and playing with you all once again.
Your ice-cream,
JoC.
