I was introduced to the game and forums by Talia and Ekehart. Talia I knew from church, and Ekehart was her boyfriend at the time. I didn't know what kind of character to create, so I made a mage/fighter elf/dragon abomination. For those of you who dealt with the very first incarnation of Zuka... I feel so sorry for you.
Let's not forget the several dozen characters I've created on the side as well! I was pretty hot-tempered, a crummy wannabe spammer, and my god, my writing was so atrocious! But it is because of those experiences that I attribute my creativity, writing skills (my report writing once got me a handshake from our Major!), and love for anything fantasy related.It also made me realize how much I've grown and matured in that time. I earned my Bachelor's in Aerospace last August, I have been dating the same girl for almost two years now, I am a homeowner as of two months ago, I have been working for the Sheriff's Office since January, and I have just completed the second week of my academy out of nine! I spend a lot of time reflecting back and smiling, remembering how much this community has helped me grow, and how I most likely would have never experienced the wonders of fantasy and writing and the friendships that I have, if it weren't for a simple Java game called Dragon Court and the forums the players called home.
