Hi guys... Let me tell you about my life. :) I am a lizardkin when I moved into this cold, cold place. Literally most of it is either covered in forest, mountains or snow... only colors you'll ever see are green, brown, grey and white... but that's not the point. When I started my life was going the wrong direction. I was on the path towards execution though a miracle happened and for some reason all of the guards got overly distracted... so I managed to escape. Knowing that my life was turning out horribly for a lizardkin I decided to go to college, and with some help with student resources there (and my lack of written record/history) I managed to get into college happily in this really nice city that had people of all types, heck I even met some other lizardkins and these tigerkins. Hell I even got to join this awesome fraternity that worshiped this dragon and they had this language that was SO COOL!!! Best part is that since I was a natural at speaking this language they accepted me even though I was lizardkin. While I was getting my degree I went to all sorts of places in the nation and even found this super secret place where people were smoking this awesome drug... though after I took a hit I knocked out for some reason and woken up in this cage. All around me I heard screams and shit so once this scary, sharp toothed guard came in I knocked him out and managed to make my escape. Once out I went back to my college and learned that I was in some major debt and that my courses were all failing and shit and that I actually sucked in liberal arts. So I lost everything and was seriously bankrupt. I was so bad that I had to beat the shit out of bums for money! Eventually I got this job where I get to fight bad people and kill shit but it turns out that they were also a secret group of "special individuals" and they had this monster and these sick people forced me to take what my old boss called "the beast" inside this secret cave... after that I got out of control and managed to make my escape with "the beast's essence" still inside me... I eventually went to this tower and cried for several weeks and even tried several times to kill myself from it. I even tried talking to the police but they ignored me (hell even attacked me) for it. I then learned that I received some sort of disease from taking in "the beast" and for me to get cured I had no choice but to work with these people. So I do and I get cured and then I left and NEVER went back. Once I left I was back to my old habits (still depressed that I had to take "the beast") and started to steal shit and do odd jobs (just small quests and helped people out with stupid shit that they could do themselves) for money. Soon after I met this individual who invited me to join their little gang of thieves and so I did. Damn straight... I stole so well that I was practically better than their best! Though that wasn't the life I wanted and soon I learned that a civil war was happening between some loyalists and some rebels. When asked which side I'd join I said neither. The loyalists were getting owned and bowed to corruption of these yellow skinned people that told them what they can/can't believe and the rebels were racists to me and very means... just because I was a Lizardkin. ;_; So... Since I was still in good health and that being a thief wasn't making money, and since I wanted to have no part in this war I had very little options... I MUST become an assassin and the only way to do that is kill... FOR JUSTICE!!!! That's right I was a vigilante and in the shadows of the night I went to the rebel's major city and met this kid who wanted me to defeat this vile, evil old hag who abuses children... AND I DID!!! Then I went to a tavern, drank a lot, listened to some music from an old colleague of mine, learned that liberal arts was actually a very hard degree to live off of, and then went to sleep. When I woke I wasn't in the tavern and was in some other place. In front of me were three people bound up and a woman dressed completely in black. She told me that I did her job for her and that my debt is to kill someone who did evil, but she wouldn't tell me who so I had to learn this myself by asking the people... eventually I just had to make a guess, good thing I had a good sense of finding evil... and so I chose to kill the racist. :D Then this girl said I could get PAID for my work and that was cool in my opinion... so I worked with these groups of vigilante as SHADOWSCALE and continued to kill evil doers where they stood... in disguise. I did good work and it was good pay but soon I learned that as a lizardkin I don't want to live my life as a superhero anymore and so... I went back to college, this time NOT for liberal arts but instead I was after a very fucking magical major in sciences... So again, college, rejoined my fraternity, did some cool things and learned some history, and did very fucking magical things. Eventually I graduated and shortly after I found myself a job that was related to my fraternity. I met a lot of cool, inspirational and powerful people during my work and even caused a short peace treaty between the loyalists and rebels! I became liked EVERYWHERE and life was looking so up. I also met a very special person who was also the leader of the organization that I worked for (though I'm not really supposed to talk about him... but... I'll say he likes Dragons and has an evil older brother.) After all was said and done I lived a very successful life, I was rich and was able to retire at a young age. That is my story about how great of a stepping stone college was for me when it came to my success. So join college and don't give up on your dreams, even though they give up on you. and if they give up on you, than it's for you to get a bigger, brighter future! Trust me, I'm a lizard kin who actually reached a life of success. :D If [b][i][u] I[/b][/u][/i] can do it in this land full of racists and retards, so can [b][i][u]YOU[/u][/b][/i]!!!
