In February 2008, Jay fought in his first duel over at Rings of Honor. A month later, I wrote my first post for him on the Red Dragon Inn forums. In the hustle and bustle of life, I never got around to posting something about the five-year anniversary of those two events. Consider this my belated notice.
I just wanted to say thank you to the powers that be on both RDI and RoH, for providing a forum for creativity and play at no charge (and, most likely, some personal expense!) for me, and for countless other players like me. I would also like to extend thank yous to each and every person whose character or characters interacted with me.
Jay began "life" as almost a throwaway character, a way of using a SN I had created a year prior with a character concept that I couldn't figure out how to work. I borrowed heavily from superhero comics, my knowledge of punk and skateboarding culture, and the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels. And he might have stayed flat and boring and cliche, were it not for this site and the players who congregate here. I wanted to extend special thanks to the players of Candy Hart, Lydia Loran, Soerl Lute, Poppy Swift, Samiyah Zayn, and everyone over at the Wrecking Crew for letting Jay worm his way into their hearts and lives. Both he and I have grown immensely as a result.
In short: thank you, thank you, thank you.
