Bastilla, her death, her husband, her revival and her banishment - It was crazy what went down with this.
As you all know, a Padawan needs a master, and I really needed one to show me the ropes. Erue had approached me numerous times, and he was going to be my master (I would test out his colours on my name it was that close), but eventually he chose Shogun Shimi instead. It makes me wonder what would have happened if Erue had been my master, would I have followed him to JEDI? Not likely, but you never know.
Eventually, Master Foxen's Padawan 'Bastilla Kron' was promoted Jedi Knight. She approached me one day with the idea of being her apprentice and I gladly accepted (in fact, I think I lagged out or my computer crashed when she first asked me - I don't know what was worse in 2003, my connection of my system). I was overjoyed at the idea that I finally had a master. I'd see the guys who joined the same time as me or even after me get a Master, and there was nothing more that I wanted at the time.
I felt the Master/Padawan relationship here was spot on, it was everything it was supposed to be. She was approachable and active, she treated me so nicely and I remember having loads of fun learning new skills and getting asked questions about the clan. She'd even put her 'son' on sometimes and she'd ask me to look after him on the server.
So after all that it was even more hurtful when she tragically 'died'. I really looked up to her and we got on well. Not knowing all the details, being fairly young and being new to the idea of online communities; I, like many others, was fooled into believing this rubbish. The idea that she came onto the server acting as her 'husband' (under the name Proteus Kron) during her in-game funeral was absolutely sickening. I still remember her 'husband' telling me that she always thought "I was the best Padawan ever!". Eventually she came clean and wanted to return to the clan, but was banned forever after having a meeting with the Council on the server. I was on the server when it happened, and would have listened to what she would have had to say, but she didn't have much time for me then.
Master Silvaer took me under his wing after I failed my first J trials. I have a ridiculous amount of respect for him. I didn't see him much, but when I did I learnt so much stuff about the game. It was deeply upsetting when he joined JoR/E to basically just duel with Wooklyn, but he left shortly after and everything was alright again. Again, I thank you Silvaer for your time and experience.
I have more thoughts, stories and opinions on past events to post, stuff like coming through the ranks with Shin. Alpha, Lei, Mystery, Mei-Oh, all my Padawans, the 2004 generation and so much stuff about the 'wars' and drama that went on. I have a pretty good memory when it comes to this stuff.
