User:GoldenChaos

GoldenChaos, real name Jason David Rappaport joined Zelda Universe on February 2, 2004. In his early days, he could be considered somewhat of a newb, though people have stood on both sides. In his first few months, he did a good amount of rent-a-moding, in which he actually earned the title "Second SearanoX" from a few members. Eventually, he grew out of his newbish, rent-a-moddish stage to become an active contributing member of the ZU community.

Beginnings
GC's newbie welcoming thread can be found here.

In the thread, he mostly ranted on about an older forum he used to go to, Chaostic Warez Forums, which has absolutely nothing to do with the "Chaos" in his name. He continued on in this manner for quite a while until SearanoX pwned him in "The post the owned GoldenChaos." This post consisted of stripping down the rules of Chaostic Forums one by one to what they actually meant, thus proving they were more strict then Zelda Universe's rules had been. GC could do nothing but surrender and follow the rules after this post.

He went on later to start a Rap Battle Tournament in the Battle Arena with the help of a user named Link Messiah (now Mess), the contestants including himself, Mess, Kishin, Kazan, andi, Mirren, Big Bro Davidia, and SearanoX. The thread for the tournament can be found here.

He moved on to become quite a postwhore, geining his 1000 posts in 55 days. He waited out the other 45 days before he could recieve his custom rank, as well as waited to become an adopter. He then adopted his first-ever adoptee, lost lee.

Graphic Arts
After a while he took an interest into the various things that the ZU signature makers were dishing out. He felt that his own graphics were far below mediocre, and many fo the ones currently being made by Shetani (Lioness), Yami, Sear, Radek, etc were amazing.

His first attempt at a graphic was a small tutorial the user Yami has placed on the forums. It involved making a few gradients, chging some contrast, and performing a twirl. It turned out nicely, and he soon grew into the graphic artist people know on ZU today. Far from the best... but not half bad.

Drawing
You can view GC's old doodles and drawings thread here.

He is currently taking an Art Studio class in his freshman year of highschool, and plans to take the Drawing course as well as the Intro to Computer Graphics course in his Sophomore year. In his Junior year, he plans to begin a two year course in art.

Writing
Jason is currently in the production of a fanfiction, though it has grown a bit beyond fan fiction. He intends to edit it fully, change the characters and make it into an original story. The fiction so far passes 60 pages in Microsoft Word, 12 point font at normal spacing. However, due to it being written during such a large time span, a good amount of the story makes little sense from forgetfulness while writing. This story has since been cancelled, and his newest project can be found below.

He has also begun a new project, a completely original sotry entitled The Catcher, which can be found and read here. He intends to make it a full-fledged novel of sorts, getting to the ending at least. His writing has been compared to quthors such as Michael Crichton and Tom Clancy.

On to of this, he currently teaches in the Zelda Universe Battle Arena, showing students better writing techniques, as well as grammar and spelling.

He has also written a 96-page complete walkthrough for The Minish Cap, a Game Boy Advance Zelda game. This walkthrough is now featured on GameFAQs, CheatCodeCentral, Zelda Domain, AOL, Supercheats, Gamespot, Neoseeker, and of course good old Zelda Universe itself.

Personality
He loves helping people with their own problems and is always willing to cheer someone up when their down. He considers himself an optimist, though his own parents laugh at the fact and say he more of a pesimist. However, he most always has a smile on his face (and on his internet) and is almost always willing to help someone who needs it with a cheerful attitude. He also values trust from his friends, and toward his friends from himself a great deal.

So, what now?
GC is currently working on projects for Zelda Universe, such as the Kinstone Fusion Guide (A full list of every Kinstone fusion in the game The Minish Cap.) which is now finished, a heart piece guide for The Minish Cap, and even this Wiki. He is also the co-webmaster of Zelda Universe.

He is extrememly proud of the work he does and always loves to help out as much as he can. If you need to toss some random (or not random) job onto him, go ahead and do it!
