| Rakion's Reintroduction Thread | (Lazy readers beware!) Hey everyone! I have been in really inactive for about more than a year and a half in which I rarely visit from time to time. When I started to get on the forums again, I realized that most of the people I knew from way back don't even play the server anymore or just ceased playing Minecraft in general. So for the first time in a really really long time, I decided to make another updated introduction, as I doubt some of the newer people in the community could still possibly see a very outdated post from two years back about a thirteen year old Asian teenager awkwardly introducing himself to the Mineverse community. For those of you who don't know me, I used to play on Minecraft under the username "Rakion504" which was changed later on to "RakionMC" due to me heavily regretting on ever putting random numbers on my username. I was one of the first few people who joined the Mineverse forums, one of the first to be promoted to Global Moderator, and also one of the first to be promoted for the second time in which after long months of doing dedicated service towards the server, I decided to resign from my position as Global Moderator. Off the computer, my real name is Alvin, i'm currently fifteen years old and about to turn sixteen in the fifteenth of June. I reside in an archipelago of 7,107 island and islets located in the southeast coast of Asia, the Philippines, home to one of the most richest biodiversities of the world. Its beaches, mountains, rainforests, islands and diving spots are among the country's most popular tourist destinations, so if you are into adventures or have a deep passion for nature, this place is definitely for you. I am a socially awkward introvert teenager. Introversion is usually thought of as the tendency to enjoy solitude rather than time with a group of people. I prefer to engage with people one on one rather than in a group. Just like any other introvert I find small talk a little uncomfortable and prefer to have deep conversations with one person at a time instead of struggling to hang out with a large group of people which explains my shyness. If a phone call has been more than thirty seconds and it is nothing of importance to me, I will pretty much just hang up because I socializing is very tiring to me. This is probably why I have a great sense of creativity, because many great ideas come out of introspection from spending time alone. But don't misunderstand, it's not that I don't care about people or hate them. It's just that I want to be alone, but I don't want to be lonely. There's a difference. I am currently diagnosed with Deuteranopia (Red and Green color deficiency. TD;LR I'm colorblind) in which I had since birth due to genetics, but just recently found out because I randomly took a color deficiency test through the internet as a joke and realize I actually was colorblind. It never really affected my life and the things I do in a negative way, which i'm glad it didn't. I've jokingly received a lot of Rubik's Cube as a gift, and if you really must know, I do not find any difficulty in differentiating the standard colors, but can be confused in differentiating some shades. For my hobbies, I absolutely have a deep passion for the art of music. I am a singer and a guitarist. I have been singing for as long as I could remember, and have performed on big and small stages in front of people for countless of times. I have only been playing the guitar for three to four months though, so i'm striving to become better at it. Whenever I have free time (in which I have a lot), I sing and play the guitar whether in public or in private (sometimes in Teamspeak or Skype) for some of my friends to hear and sing along. I plan on expanding my capabilities up to the point where I could play the drums and piano, as I have currently gone into songwriting. Aside from my deep passion for music, I also consider myself as an amateur poet. I have been recently writing poems about how I feel or about my everyday experiences in life and I really enjoy it. I think it's really amazing on how you can embed your feelings and emotions into a phrases and songs and so that others could have an idea of what's been going through your minds or how you've felt towards a certain subject. I plan on one day of writing and publishing an Anthology (a book that is a collection of poems, phrases, short stories, etc.) which would all be filled with my original poems. I am also an athlete and runner at heart. I am a part of the school's track team and the distance I run usually varies from 800m, 1500m and 5000m. I frequently wake up very early in the morning (3AM-5AM) to jog around the city because I think jogging around city lights are absolutely much more breathtaking at night. I love running because it's almost like a temporary escape from life, and also a time where I could be happy alone without worrying about anything else in the world. That is all, I hope you guys got to know me better. I don't expect you to read until the very bottom, but if you do, I appreciate it. ;)
