Where did you come from? Where did your b.net personality get its origins? Let us know!
Me? I was a humble desticle, when I discovered #offtopic. I thought RP was stupid, and thought destiny was amazing. But now I am the anti-desticle-RP-loving-bee-government Quiggles that some of you may know. Let us all know your b.net origin story

Well, lemme think. I tried joining up around late Reach days, which is also when I got XBL, I know for sure before Halo 4 released I had tried. I came because of the custom banner things you can get, along with several extra things and a daily challenge. I was a noob to the site, and didn't have a clue how to set it up right, so it ended up not working out an I left for a long time. LONG time. I think I only ever got on forums twice if at all. So fast forward to Pre-Destiny beta, someone told me about the thing (User testing) and it's exactly what I was looking for. By that point I was a bit smarter, and breezed through making a new account. Ended up not doing much because I didn't know there was an app at the time. But Destiny Beta is what got me on the site I guess. And then I started using it, the app, and regularly frequented offtopic as an unknown and slightly naive user obsessed with making people not mad at me. Kek. Eventually I got the name "That Pink Ranger" which came from an inside joke with an old friend I lost shortly after using it as my name. "Ranger" is a reference to Reach's elite armor type, not the TV show. At some point during my days in offtopic I came along to The Ebon Hawk Hotel, an RP thread. That's where RPing for me started. Revan, who is still lurking in TBJ I think, didnt manage the thread though. In fact; twice he "left" the thread as a publicity stunt, making several participants panic. By the second time however, Alex (AKA Ben, or A2) made the madhouse thread. Most members switched over to it. We spent ages there, that was sort of RRP members golden age. People like Julie, Fen, Alex, Noble, and a few others were from the first thread. After madhouse burned down, we looked for the next, but it was so abrupt nobody had a plan and nobody led the group anywhere. Revan, who was mostly a lurker in madhouse, decided to invite everyone to an RP group, like this one, with the promises of good leadership and fair admins. It didn't sit well with me: He didn't lead before, in fact he was the problem most of the time, and he had many admin-worthy people in a group with none of the promised admins. At the time I started thinking he was going to lead us into a ditch, honestly, and I was not planning on letting it happen. I kept pushing for someone, Alex particularly, to make their own group. Someone I know could lead well is what I wanted. He eventually talked me into doing it, which he had told me to do for a long time, I had refused previous times because I didn't think I could lead well. In the end I made Remnants RP to get everyone together. There is a lot of history, a lot of things people didn't see even, that happened there. That's really how it started for me, I guess.
