21 January 2017 - Still Alive
2 min read
Guess I forgot to make a journal for this or something… but in any case, I'm just going to casually get to the point.
I'm still alive; between end-August 2016 and mid-December 2016, I was in "hiding" (as some might put it); it's safe for me now, though.
Sorry for making everyone believe otherwise ;-;
Long story short, my life was in danger.
I also had no say in the matter of going into hiding…
That said, this has caused a lot of chaos as well ;-;
I'd rather not elaborate over it, though.
Anyway, again, I'm sorry for making everyone believe I'm gone ;-;
Sometimes I casually wonder if my life will ever be normal at some point.
AN EDIT:
I wasn't sure whether or not to put this here, but I might as well.
As I've said above, I wasn't given a choice in the matter of going into protective custody; I've been casually told that it was one of the wiser choices I've made. It was for their safety.
On 19 August 2016 (this was the day most of my first forum's content was deleted), I casually left, went to walk to try and clear my head. Later, someone attacked me with a knife; I did punch him in self-defense. (I guess I was still in shock over what had happened to Vresun at the time.)
A day or so after, I noticed that someone was following me whenever I was outdoors. South Africa is a country with a high crime rate, unfortunately… so just by defending myself, I guess I endangered not only myself, but the people around me.
On 30 August 2016, that was when I went into hiding… and probably shortly before 21 December 2016, it was safe for me to no longer be in protective custody, so I returned home.

Why do I even bother.
I'm just a failure as an admin.
Nothing can change that.
What brought this about?
Between 12:45 AM and 10:43 AM, one of Vresun's staff members deleted just about all the boards on the forum (except for a joke board DiankeSmith had made in March 2015). The reason for what he did is unknown.
So basically, I made a horrible choice in picking that member as one of the staff members, so as of today, I decided that Vresun will not have any staff members again, ever.
That is probably the wrong thing to do, but frankly, does it even make a difference? I'm just a horrible, useless failure as an administrator, and an equally horrible judge of character.
I have asked the hosts if it could be fixed, but to be honest, I pretty much doubt it.
If it can't, then… I will just make another journal entry, probably.
Or update this one.
EDIT:
There's nothing that can be done.
As such… it's now official.
Dragon Riders and all related things are officially canceled.
Team Dragon Rise is henceforth disbanded.
If anyone wishes to revive either of those (or both), go for it.
All the hard work that has been done (what little there was, anyway) has been for naught. Maybe it's because I'm such a useless, horrible failure as an admin.
Rest in peace, Vresun.

With past events, I guess it's best to just stay busy to keep my mind off of things, and not let it get me down.
So, I figured, may as well have some information on Dragon Riders Continuity 闇 [Yami].
There are seven primary elements, which can be combined to create secondary or tertiary elements. These primary elements are Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Thunder, Light and Darkness. Currently, the secondary and tertiary element list is incomplete; secondary elements are two primary elements combined while tertiary elements are three or more primary elements combined.
The seven Dragon Riders are:

Currently, the secondary and tertiary element list is incomplete; secondary elements are two primary elements combined while tertiary elements are three or more primary elements combined.
The seven Dragon Riders are:
- Shēn Aisusōdo, the human who controls Fire. His Dragon is the red Draco Blaze.
- Sara Rurū, the human who controls Earth. Her Dragon is the orange Draco Nature.
- Rūmen Gurittā, the fairy who controls Light. Her Dragon is the yellow Draco Shine.
- Shinika, the Avian ("winged humans" is the shortest description there is) who controls Wind. Her Dragon is the green Draco Gale.
- Karia Furosuto, the Inhuman who controls Water. Her Dragon is the blue Draco Frost.
- Aian Sutōmā, the cyborg who controls Thunder. His Dragon is the indigo Draco Storm.
- Darushī Saikodāku, the Dark Elf who controls, well, Darkness. His Dragon is the viole(n)t Draco Apocalypse.
This Continuity is mostly set in the (very fictional) Shūen galaxy, with two known planets (at the time of writing). These are Mukachi and Sainan; the sun's name is Inferuno.
…
That's probably all for now.

News travels fast, or so they say…
It's over between me and… her. (I can't even bring myself to say her name.)
Why?
I don't know if I'd get in trouble here if I outright state it; it's posted on the Vresun forums as an "Admin's Post" (27 May 2016).
My trust's been shattered completely as a result of… her actions, though.
As a result of the above, I'm also withdrawing from everything related to "Dragon Riders", except for "Continuity 闇 [Yami]". Time will tell whether or not this is permanent, however; if I do return to it, there will more than likely be a lot of changes.
…
No wonder people say the Vresun forums are dysfunctional.

Bad news has come…
EllenVanZylle has been hospitalized at around 15:57 (GMT+2)… whether she will be alright, only time will tell.
As for how I am… I'm fairly certain others can answer that question.
It's all my fault, for all the s**t I've put Ellen through this year… as well as in the past.
