| GoldenChaos, real name Jason David Rappaport, joined [[Zelda Universe]] on February 2, 2004, and assumed full ownership of Zelda Universe on August 11, 2007. He is also the founder of [[Zelda Wiki.org]] and co-founder (along with [[user:Yami|Yami]]) of the original [[Zelda Universe Wiki]]. In his early internet-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 and became an active, contributing member of the community. He was eventually hired as webmaster of Zelda Universe, and after one year stepped down as a webmaster of Zelda Universe and detached himself from the all the community except select members. A year and a half later, he returned to the Zelda Universe community, and furthermore purchased the site from its owner at the time.

| ==Beginnings==
| |
| GC's newbie welcoming thread can be found [http://www.zeldauniverse.net/forums/showthread.php?t=7349 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 [[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.
| |
| [[Image:Rap bracket.jpg|right|thumb|100px|The original bracket for the Rap Battle Tournament.]] | |
| | |
| 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 receive 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 [[Zelda Universe|ZU]] [[signature]] makers were dishing out. He felt that his own graphics were far below mediocre, and many for 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, changing 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 sophomore year of high school, and Painting in the second semester of the year. Now in his Junior year, he participates in the Honors Art Major course, which consists of various projects to perfect drawing and painting skills. Such projects include conte drawings of expressive hands, portraits, perspective projects, etc.
| |
| | |
| ==Writing==
| |
| Jason was once, very long ago, in the production of a fan fiction, though it has grew a bit beyond fan fiction. He intended to edit it fully, change the characters and make it into an original story, but never did. The fiction passed 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 made little sense from forgetfulness while writing. This story was been canceled, and his newer projects took root, which can be found below.
| |
| | |
| A newer project, a completely original story entitled The Catcher, can be found and read [http://www.zeldauniverse.net/forums/showthread.php?t=25723 here]. He intended once again to make it a full-fledged novel of sorts, getting to the ending at least. His writing was 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.
| |
| | |
| His second full-length novel, entitled ''Faceless'', is seen in his eyes as a large improvement from ''Secured''. It portrays a dystopian future world in which the ability to "shapeshift" is a household technology. Because of this, humanity is no longer limited to its human form - and neither is the definition of "human." With the technology an integral part of society, it becomes hard to tell who is who, and who ''was'' who. This story can be read in the NaNoWriMo section of his blog, [http://thejasoneffect.net/category/nanowrimo-2006/ here].
| |
| | |
| On to of this, he used to teach 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 pessimist. 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 (ZU)|ZU Chat Room]].
| |
| | |
| He is extremely 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!

But they are there!
| |
| | |
| ==The Zelda Wiki Project==
| |
| Jason is also the founder of [[Zelda Wiki.org:About|Zelda Wiki.org]], the wiki you are currently viewing and hopefully contributing to. He claims to not own the wiki more than anyone else who wants it, however maintains control over the databases and the FTP, so that he can perform routine maintenance. He has high hopes for the Wiki project and can't wait to see what it will turn into in the near and far future.
