| [[Image:Jasonnew.jpg|right|thumb|155px|Jason (GoldenChaos) before he cut his hair.]]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-mod]]ding, in which he actually earned the title "Second [[User:SearanoX|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.

| 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 [[User:SearanoX|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 [http://www.zeldauniverse.net/forums/showthread.php?t=8015 here].

| He moved on to become quite a postwhore, gaining 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== | | *'''[[User:GoldenChaos|Main User Page]]''' |
| After a while he took an interest into the various things that the [[Zelda Universe|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 [[User:Shetani|Shetani]] (Lioness), [[User:Yami|Yami]], [[User:SearanoX|Sear]], [[User:Radek|Radek]], etc were amazing.

| | |
| His first attempt at a graphic was a small tutorial the user [[user:Yami|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.

| Today, he practices with his Wacom tablet in hopes of perfecting the art (or at least becoming alright at it). He has colored multiple works with the tablet, but is still getting used to the surface and the way the tablet works. His works thus far are vastly unimpressive, but with more practice he'll get tons better, he is told.

| ==Drawing==

| You can view GC's old doodles and drawings thread [http://www.zeldauniverse.net/forums/showthread.php?t=7647 here]. You can view GC's new Art Things thread [http://www.zeldauniverse.net/forums/showthread.php?t=36822 here]. You can see GC's blog, where he will post most of his future art, [http://www.thejasoneffect.net/ here].

| He previously took a Drawing class during the first semester of his sophmore year of highschool, and Painting in the second semester of the year.

Such projects include conte drawings of expressioned hands, portraits, perspective projects, etc.

| ==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 story entitled The Catcher, which can be found and read [http://www.zeldauniverse.net/forums/showthread.php?t=25723 here]. He intends to make it a full-fledged novel of sorts, getting to the ending at least. His writing has been compared to authors such as Michael Crichton and Tom Clancy. ***This project has since been discontinued.***
| |
| | |
| | |
| He has written a full-length novel titled ''Secured'', which can be read from [http://www.zeldauniverse.net/forums/showthread.php?t=35566 this thread]. The novel speaks about a sky diver named Peter Mora, who, after jumping from 14,000 feet during his first major competition, lands to find out that he had died during the drop. What's going on? His mission is to find out just what, and get back to where he came from.
| |
| | |
| | |
| 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 has completed 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 was, for a time, the co-webmaster of [[Zelda Universe]]. He has since retired from the job, but maintains his position on the [[wiki]] and the [[Chat Room]].
| |
| | |
| | |
| He is extrememly proud of the work he does and has done 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!
