I personally think a re-introduction is needed. I want to present the amount of personal progression I have made thanks to the people of this community, by showing my old introduction po-- It appears that I have deleted that post... Well... I guess I should speak of how much I've matured.
I'll be honest, my 13/14 year old self when encountering the MB was pretty awful. I mean I had average vocabulary, I was a fanboy of everything I saw, and I had no proper patience and passion to make anything myself. I even tried to release Duon.wad, a horrible recolor of a character called Greeman, who at the time, was the best "stickman" I could use for a base (then I got an infraction for stealing someone's wad and not even crediting them). Hell, back on #srb2fun, my awful attitude led me to getting on the a-kick list. Yeah, I was so horrible the Honorable Mystic and Rob didn't want to see my name or ".-." emote anywhere on that chat.
Since then, after being looked down upon some of community and almost suffering from tons of depression for personal and social reasons, I stopped caring so much about others' opinions and insults and even went out of my way to try and do better, except I was still lazy. Enter the SRB2 Riders mod, a huge port project that I've been working on with MotdSpork, Hitcoder, and friends since the "beginning" of 2.1. I was still looked down upon for not doing anything with that port or making the gameplay any better. At that time, I was pretty shit at lua (not much of a difference now) I still suffered from sadness and stuff like that. Though as time moved on, I experimented a lot more and became a little more genuine with what I tried to do with scripts.
I graduated from High School on June 17th, 2016, and over the summer into fall, I feel like I have improved as a member of this community. I built up the feeling of persistence and came at situations a little more maturely. I even went out of my way to build my own levels and make my own custom scripts. I feel right at home with the big names of SRB2, and wish to help anyone in need of some type of assistance.
tl;dr Hello fellow SRB2 Members, I am no longer Duon The Adventurer, I am Sapheros Lucidus, I love SRB2 and wish to provide whatever I can to make not only my SRB2 experience, but your SRB2 experience better.
