  1. ---Late 2005 - Early 2012---
  2. These 6 years span the entirety of my horrible school life. I was ridiculed, made fun of, even physically hurt. I had no friends. I was isolated.
  3.  
  4. From those years, I heard all the antagonizing words the school children would say, all the misbehavior. This struck me as repulsive, and I wanted to take no part in any of that. This eventually took form later on in the years with the inability to lie, (It would make me seriousosly conflicted, give a slight nasty sickening feeling, and leave me with a lot of regret; though thankfully aversion isn't lieing) and the complete avoidance of mainstreamity; I would instead gravitate towards exellence in what I do/say and have.
  5.  
  6. Nearing the end of these years I then became hardened to the opinions and bantering of such people; though it wouldn't be a few years later before I would have gained full self-control in my actions and composure in intense situations, so that I wouldn't become frustrated.
  7.  
  8. But despite all the gloom, this all plays a role in the foundation of my character.
  9.  
  10. During those isolated times, I read lots of books, educated myself, and brought out this sort of innate analytical mind of mine.
  11.  
  12. ---Late 2012 - Early 2013---
  13. After being moved through all sorts of school, I finally landed in a fantastic school! A school where people are intelligent, and have a greater interest in getting good grades. (Though they still socialized often!) Bullying was completely non-existent, and I quickly fit into the school. I've gotten more friends that school year than the entirety of the past 6; though sadly this was only a few people still...
  14.  
  15. This was then when I started cherishing friendships, a thing I've been lacking for years too.
  16.  
  17. This school was also a lot more challenging than any previous I've been too, (C's are failing grades) so this stimulated my analytical mind. And because of said analyticity, I was able to very quickly grasp concept and ideas and learn things at a surprising rate. As long as the subject matter was explained properly in class, it was such a breeze!
  18.  
  19. Since I had no experience in socializing, I was rather incredibly awkward, and slightly uncomfortable, in conversations. But it took me a couple years before I was able to develop the social skills, thanks to my ease at absorbing information!
  20.  
  21. Another important thing is that a friend of mine introduced me to Spelunky. It's a great free game by the way!
  22.  
  23. And also, this was the year I took programming as a hobby.
  24.  
  25. ---Late 2013 - Early 2014---
  26. I socialize a bit better, have more friends and whatnot, but that's about for this.
  27.  
  28. More importantly, I started modding Spelunky, and eventually release it on the Mossmouth forums. On the time I spent on the forums, I met various people. Eventually someone mentions another forum, which I then join after Mossmouth drops into zilch activity. I met more people there, talked, and whatnot. Polaris was in fact on these forums, and something about him struck to me as legendary; most people treated him as so on the forums.
  29.  
  30. I eventually came to become friends with Kush and Pteriforever, and we start a Skype group together with Polaris. We talked often, about various things and whatnot. We got to the point of having an audio call too! Polaris for the most part was silent, and conversed ocasionally.
  31.  
  32. I also learn about logical fallacies, which furthers my insight into what people say; it also gave me fortitude in debates as I targeted such logical fallacies, and not bending to arguments with little base. I know I won when the other person lowers standards towards using lame comebacks or slight mockery/insult. Not that I'm a bad person or anything, just that the other person realizes and becomes frustrated that their attempts with faulty logic don't work on me at all.
  33.  
  34. ---Late 2014 - Early 2015---
  35. This school year I've become completely comfortable, and friends with a majority of students from my grade, one below, and a few from higher grades.
  36.  
  37. My programming skills have developed a lot, (pun unintended >.< ) and this was when I started developement on Acheron Pong 2.
  38.  
  39. Polaris also started being more social too in the Early 2015!
  40.  
  41. I've also fully gotten my self-control, so I'm able to talk calmly, no matter how loud or frantic the other person is. I keep my composure, and debate civilly; this seems to make them madder as they see their own attempts fail quite humourously so. It's all mostly because I don't see a reason or context where the displayement of anger is applicable. There's never a good reason to have fits or shout. You can use that anger to fuel motives, not waste it senselessly.
  42.  
  43. My analyticity also had some weird quirks too. Because of my want of excellence, and because I usually ran various simulations of life nigh-constantly, I was able to improve my skills during times of inactivity in regards to the skill. For example I would practice on the piano for a week, but eventually I stopped improving; after a week break, I had notable improvements! =o (Even my piano teacher said so, thinking I had been practicing!) All and well, this only worked over short breaks, longer breaks had detrimental effects.
  44.  
  45. Another odd thing, was that my mind would passively assimilate information that would make me a better person. (This is perspective to what I would foresee myself as better) As such, I began extracting desirable qualities from things I read or heard. (I had no direct control) The most prominent people were Pteriforever, Maize, and Polaris.
  46.  
  47. Long story short about Maize, I met her on Steam through a GMOD addons she made, and ever since we've become best friends! Maize is who taught me how to make the art that I posted in the art thread on CSTSF, so kudos to her! ^.^
  48.  
  49. As such, my persona consists of my basic qualities and characters, and a combination of the aforementioned people's ways of talking. Thanks to all of them I'm more socially competent, and I am who I am right now! ^o^
