Farewell Addresses

A farewell speech or farewell address is a speech given by an individual leaving a position or place. They are often used by public figures such as politicians, or as statements delivered by persons relating to reasons for their leaving. The term is often used as a euphemism for "retirement speech", though it is broader in that it may include geographical or even biological conclusion.

Good evening my friends!
I will begin by announcing my retirement from the Death Tower community. After many months of quietly contemplating over my own future, I have decided that this is the end of my time here.
As of 10 PM PST tonight, May 16th, 2015, my soul will be enlightened and everything my personas are or ever owned will be destroyed if not listed in my will; my will is attached to this post.
I began my life in the community here nearly six years ago in October of 2009, or somewhere around there. I have led too many groups of people to recollect in this post and I have met too many friends to acknowledge personally.
My friends that I have made here still stand as friends to me and I will never cease to remember their role in my development as an individual. This community has made me a better person.
I have made an extraordinary life here of trying to lead, evolve, and enlighten this community and I believe my work has been well-done. My work will continue through my successors.
I will continue to live on, wandering from world to world, never ceasing to leave my impression on the places I visit and the people I meet.
With that said, here's a list that's been long-awaited.
*digs up archive of bullshit stuff I've collected over the years*
*coughs at all of the dust and brushes off some papers*
*sips my coffee*
AHEM.
MY WILL --
Upon the 22nd hour (10 pm) PST of the 16th of May, 2015, my Will shall officially be accepted by my friends and the following be declared and accepted as true;
Dimitri Viktor -- My best friend to present day and my own teacher. I acknowledge that you have brought me to where I am today and I am eternally thankful for you and your efforts. We will continue to build a prosperous friendship for years to come, I am confident. I leave to you:
-- Slivera, and all of her associated weaponry and talismans.
-- Ethilbrith, my druid soul given by you long ago.
-- my prayer book, and all of its associated spells and arts.
-- the key to the Hale households and the title of Hale Family Guardian; keep everyone safe.
-- my bone bloodline talisman; never part with it.
-- my skeletal remains, the only remaining part of my character; I ask that you bury them somewhere fitting.
Arthurius Lucius Yggdrasil -- You began your role in this world under my tutelage in the early days of my career and you stand by me still to this day. I leave you with:
-- the Patriarch title of the Hale family, its members, and the entire bloodline gate.
-- full ownership of all my series claims (excluding character claims).
-- full ownership / usage of my Bael Evans Hale RPC.
-- my personal monk and priest robes; both imbued with the spirit of Obadiah.
-- full ownership / usage over the great spirit Obadiah and his household.
Osmund Solomon Yggdrasil -- You have become a powerful leader in my late career and I am glad to have served underneath you while our time lasted. I am confident in your ability to change this community one day and I pray eagerly for your successes as King. I leave you with what you have given me in the past:
-- full ownership of my Magi persona, Yunan, along with all of his tools and abilities. Do with him what you will, but please keep him in the hands of someone just and loyal; someone I could be proud of.
-- full ownership of my Val Yggdrasil persona, along with all of his tools and abilities. I feel it is right to return this body to you after the training and teaching you have given to me in this world.
Kamkari Sugureta -- You have been a powerful friend in my late career and I owe my success to you and your loyalty. I leave you with a parting gift; I pray that you make well of it:
-- Buer, the 10th Djinn; Spirit of Growth and Humility.
-- Andromalius, the 72nd Djinn; Spirit of Protection and Faireness.
Carlos WildRider -- my oldest and most loyal friend alive to date. I owe so much to you that I can't begin to describe. I will however leave a parting gift to you as our friendship will continue to blossom in other worlds unknown:
-- my famed blade of the boundless scribe.
-- my eighty demon books, without limitation.
Seren Kaguya -- ayee lol.
-- complete ownership over my third of the Holders series and all traditional weaponry and characters associated with that age in my life.
Koumei Ren -- You and I have grown to be great friends and I will look forward to working with you extensively in Nibiru and beyond. I leave with you something well deserved, and nothing more:
-- my coffee cup.
-- one bag of dark roast.
-- the ten legendary weapons of the Fourth Order (excluding Himitsu's)
Stay humble.
Tanoshimi Ōtsutsuki Senju -- One of my personal best friends. You have come so far since you began under my wing when you began RP and I plan on continuing our friendship in other worlds through many years to come. I leave you with:
-- vials of the undying light; you have seen them once before and you will be informed on their use.
-- full ownership / usage of the character Nui Harime from KLK.
-- full ownership / usage of the character Kuklo from SNK: Before the Fall.
-- full ownership / usage of the character Azuma from Fairy Tail.
Anything not listed or declared in this Will shall be privately destroyed and the destruction of said items will be attended to by Dmitri Viktor.
Here ends the Will. Thank you for all of those who have aided me in achieving what I have; I will surely continue my conversations with you overtime. I now leave this community in the hands of those who have been raised to take on our modern challenges.
Continue to promote the community as a center of art and creativity and never lose touch with your inner imagination.
“If we, citizens, do not support our artists, then we sacrifice our imagination on the altar of crude reality and we end up believing in nothing and having worthless dreams.”
-- Yann Martel, Life of Pi
With all due respect,
Val.

Friends and fellow citizens,
I am happy to have this opportunity to talk to you once more before I leave the Role-Play World.
Next Friday, Kökejin Ögedei will be inaugurated as Chairman of the Executive Council. The moment the new Chairman takes her oath of office, I will once again be a plain, private citizen of this great New Order.
That is as it should be. Inauguration Day will be a great demonstration of our democratic process. I am glad to be a part of it—glad to wish Kökejin all possible success, as she begins her term—glad the whole world will have a chance to see how simply and how peacefully our system transfers the vast power of the Chairmanship from my hands to hers. It is a good object lesson in democracy.
In speaking to you tonight, I have no new revelations to make—no political statements—no policy announcements. There are simply a few things in my heart that I want to say to you. I want to say "goodbye" and "thanks for your help." And I want to talk to you a little while about what has happened since I became the Chairman of Yomi-no-kuni.
I am speaking to you from the room where I have worked since 1 December 2016. This is the Chairman’s office in the West Wing of Azuchi Castle. This is the desk where I have signed most of the papers that embodied the decisions I have made as Chairman. It has been the desk of many Chairmen, and will be the desk of many more.
Since I became Chairman, I have been to Asphodel, the Dread Knots, Fantasia, the Kingdom of Ataraxia, Renaissance, and Rise of the Dragon—the Sheikah Tribe and the United Legions. I have visited almost every State in the New Order.
The greatest part of the Chairman’s job is to make decisions—big ones and small ones, dozens of them almost every day. The papers may circulate around the Government for a while but they finally reach this desk. And then, there's no place else for them to go. The Chairman—whoever he or she is—has to decide. He can't pass the buck to anybody. No one else can do the deciding for him. That's his job.
I want all of you to realize how big a job, how hard a job, it is—not for my sake, because I am stepping out of it—but for the sake of my successor. She needs the understanding and the help of every citizen. It is not enough for you to come out once every month and vote for a candidate, and then go back home and say, "Well, I've done my part, now let the new Chairman do the worrying." She can't do the job alone.
Regardless of your politics, whether you are a national of Fantasia or Yomi-no-kuni, your fate is tied up with what is done here in this room. The Chairman is the Chairman of the New Order. We must give her our support as citizens of the New Order. She will have mine, and I want you to give her yours.
I suppose that history will remember my term in office as the years when the "Second Cold War" began to overshadow our lives. I have had hardly a day in office that has not been dominated by this all-embracing struggle—this conflict between those who love freedom and those who would lead the world back into slavery and darkness.
But when history says that my term of office saw the beginning of the Second Cold War, it will also say that in those 2 years we have set the course that can win it. We have succeeded in carving out a new set of policies to attain peace—positive policies, policies of world leadership, policies that express faith in other free people. We have averted Global Clan War VI up to now, and we may already have succeeded in establishing conditions which can keep that war from happening as far ahead as man can see.
These are great and historic achievements that we can all be proud of. Think of the difference between our course now and our course 6 years ago. After the Second Global Clan War we withdrew from world affairs—we failed to act in concert with other peoples against aggression—we helped to kill the Republic—and we built up barriers that strangled international trade. This time, we avoided those mistakes. We helped to found and sustain the New Order. We have welded alliances that include the greater part of the Role-Play World. And we have gone ahead with other free countries to help build their economies and link us all together in a healthy world trade.
As I have thought about our worldwide struggle with [Arda] these past 2 years—day in and day out—I have never once doubted that you, the people of the New Order and Yomi-no-kuni, have the will to do what is necessary to win this terrible fight against them. I know the people of this country have that will and determination, and I have always depended on it. Because I have been sure of that, I have been able to make necessary decisions even though they called for sacrifices by all of us. And I have not been wrong in my judgment of the people of Yomi-no-kuni.
Now, once in a while, I get a letter from some impatient person asking, why don't we get it over with? Why don't we issue an ultimatum, make all-out war?
For most in the New Order and Yomi-no-kuni, the answer is quite simple: We are not made that way. We are a moral people. Peace is our goal, with justice and freedom. We cannot, of our own free will, violate the very principles that we are striving to defend. The whole purpose of what we are doing is to prevent Global Clan War VI. Starting a war is no way to make peace.
Starting a war is totally unthinkable for rational men and women.
Then, some of you may ask, when and how will the Second Cold War end? I think I can answer that simply. Arda has great resources, and it looks strong. But there is a fatal flaw in their society. Theirs is a system of slavery; there is no freedom in it, no consent. The secret police, the constant purges, all these are symptoms of a great basic weakness—the rulers' fear of their own people.
In the long run the strength of our free society, and our ideals, will prevail over a system that has no respect for man.
As the New Order grows stronger, more united, more attractive to men and women on all sides of the Role-Play World—and as Arda's hopes for easy expansion are blocked—then there will have to come a time of change in the Old Order. Nobody can say for sure when that is going to be, or exactly how it will come about, whether by revolution, or trouble in the satellite states, or by a change inside the Coalition.
Whether the rulers of Arda shift their policies of their own free will—or whether the change comes about in some other way—I have not a doubt in the world that a change will occur.
I have a deep and abiding faith in the destiny of free men and women. With patience and courage, we shall someday move on into a new era—a wonderful golden age—an age when we can use the peaceful tools that science has forged for us to do away with human misery everywhere in the Role-Play World.
Think what can be done, once our capital, our skills, our science can be released from the tasks of defence and turned wholly to peaceful purposes all around the Role-Play World. There is no end to what can be done.
This is our dream of the future—our picture of the world we hope to have when the Ardian threat is overcome.
So, as I empty the drawers of this desk, and as the Directoire Exécutif and I leave the Role-Play World, we have no regrets. We feel we have done our best in the public service. I hope and believe we have contributed to the welfare of this nation and to the peace of the world.
No Chairman could ever hope to lead our community, or to sustain the burdens of this office, save as the people helped with their support. I have had that help—you have given me that support—on all our great essential undertakings to build the New Order’s strength and keep the peace.
Those are the big things. Those are the things we have done together. 
For that I shall be grateful, always.
And now, the time has come for me to say goodbye.

Writing this now so I don’t have to waste time with it later. I’ll try to keep it short.
Consider this my retirement post after Saturday. Reason being I’ve just realized how bad this place is for my health and me in general. I’ve felt like that last statement was true since before I started college but it became more apparent to me last night when I went out with some teammates for one of their birthdays. I was so furious the entire day after I was informed of what happened to Kiriha in the morning that it seeped out of me and infected my teammates to the point where they had to tell me not to be an energy vampire. It reminded me of how many times in the past I’ve went out or been around people in general and been unable to enjoy myself because of some stupid shit that happened here. Then when people ask me what’s wrong I’m at a lost for words cause what do I say? Lol. “Yea I'm just pissed at some RP stuff on W101” Absolutely ridiculous. I don’t blame anyone for why I get so afflicted by these things, just that there’s something wrong with myself that I’ve recognized. Prob because I care too much. I have too many personal problems, academic problems, and genuine anger issues to be worried about this place anymore. Stress, high blood pressure, all of it. This time was exceptionally bad because I hold Kiriha Yūgen close. She’s one of the two people I’ve ever recognized as a child to me over 7-8 years and it means a lot. Seeing what happened to her and the aftermath of it all made me seethe to my bones. I was guilty of even being angry at her at one point which I’m sorry for. I’m 500 miles away from home unable to spend thanksgiving with my family because of my game Saturday and I’m spending it in negativity and I hate myself so much for it.
As for Anthony Correa, I thought about it but I don’t feel like dedicating part of this to explain my thought process as it pertains to you bc you probably don’t care. I don’t either. But it’s whatever, I plan to follow through anyway. I’m giving Arda one last 3 hours of my time. I say 3 because that’s as much time I’m allotting myself if it isn’t settled earlier.
I don’t have any parting goodbyes. Most of the people I was around have already moved on or don’t care about this place anymore. Tldr, I’m tired of caring so much, tired of being a pillar, tired of not finding enjoyment out of anything, tired of trying preserve whatever sections of Arda I’ve been responsible for. I’ve already spoken to Naruto (Gavin) about replacing Senshi if he wishes. Don’t know who would take mine but you can probably guess I don’t care either way. Claims will prob be settled privately. For those remaining, hope you can still find enjoyment.

It is with a heavy heart that I open up one last time to the people of Arda. I've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly of this community and have been a part of each of those things in my own way. From starting in Akatsuki, alongside the Uchiha as Sasuke.. to Gotei as Ulquiorra with Nikku, and Vanguard as Judal together with Osmund.. I've seen this world in all the colors it has to offer. I wasn't the best guy around, sometimes I was the worst. I played the villain card for most of my career, and more than most I can attest to it being not for the faint of heart. It's a hard emotionally and mentally to sit here and say all this. Although I did not show it, I held this community very dear to my heart. It was a lot of my childhood, where I'd come home and be so excited to get on and do different things. My goals in this world has been achieved at long last. I never wished to be the strongest, in fact, being the strongest is ugly. There are many more things I can say, but I think I've said enough.
I thank all of you for the times that I got to experience. And with tear-filled eyes, I bid this world a final goodbye.
All claims I hold are hereby relinquished back to all of owners.
The Black Magi, Judal, has passed. His soul devoured by the black rukh unable to return to the Great Flow. His bodies' location is hidden and Yahweh missing to avoid anyone trying to ransack or revive him.
Sincerely The Final Yonkō,
Judal.

I think the first thing I had fallen in love with was words. Ever since I was young I had written poetry and lovely, long stories. I loved how I could write how I’m feeling, the universes I could create with just black ink. I was in love with it all.
Since I was younger, words had always been an escape for me. From my mental illness, from my real life situation, from everything. As I’ve grown up I’ve slowly found myself less and less attached to Arda. I had always loved being able to create people, and in some way, every character I’ve developed has always been an aspect of who I am. I can be very loud, rowdy, energetic, calm, tranquil, or wise. I’ve never got into a specific stereotype of a person and could never truly define who I was. Characters were hard to stick to because I still didn’t even know who I was. I loved everything all at once, and unfortunately too much.
I never did want to become anything special. I never wanted to be the best and I realize this now but I never wanted to lead anything. I was a participant and unfortunately I never wanted to be a leader. Leading and doing was something that was sort of forced onto me by various people, and unfortunately (once again) that is why I haven’t made any huge leaps towards anything. I can’t give my all to something that isn’t even mine to begin with.
This post isn’t just an exit from Arda. But a step forward. I’m growing up and that’s something I have to face. Arda doesn’t pay bills, Arda doesn’t get me money, Arda just isn’t vital anymore. I’d skip schoolwork for Role-Play, I’d go to work thinking all about Role-Play, I’d go to school and think about Role-Play. Arda isn’t beneficial to me, or my future. To be quite honest, I just need to move on. Move on from what I’ve done, what others done, what could’ve been done. I’m no longer happy here and I do not think Role-Play is a healthy activity for me to partake in any longer.
So I guess this is my goodbye. My goodbye from all forms of Role-Play. I don’t intend on keeping Facebook or messenger. I’ve met tons of lovely people here, and don’t get me wrong, I’ve loved everyone here. The people who’ve dissed me who I was once friends with, the people who’ve always been there for me, and the people who always gave me that extra push.
Arda has keep me sane and alive to be honest. At some points of my life Role-Play would be the only thing keeping me going. Keeping my mind attached to reality despite it being on a screen. I’ve made real connections in a digital world, and that’s all I’m grateful for.
To anyone whose ever told me to keep going, thank you.
To anyone who has messaged me concerned for my well being, thank you.
To anyone who I’ve ever talked to, even if it was for the briefest of moments, thank you.
I’ve learned a lot from Role-Play, and I truly absolutely thank you all for being apart of that.
If you have anything to say just feel free to message me or comment it! Thank you all again for being the most wonderful, lively chapter of my life.
(Side note: I’m leaving all forms of RP I was attached to and deleting this Facebook tomorrow).
(Side Side Note: I’m dropping all claims, including group claims. Feel free to pick and choose).

Reflection is something I always try to do when I make changes in my life. Whether it be graduation or a break up, I try to write out my thoughts in order to truly appreciate the experiences I’ve had. I believe now is the time to reflect once again. I have spent 9 years playing Wizard101, and the majority of that time? I spent [Role-Playing]. This community managed to wrangle me up as a kid and keep me here for a long, long time, and I enjoyed the majority of it. This place has brought me some of my biggest laughs, and some of my happiest moments. I’ve watched my friends grow up from moody pre-teens to full on adults, and it’s been really wild to watch those younger than me repeat my steps, and to watch myself repeat those few who came before me. It’s time I finally call it a rest. This is going to be long. I am old, I ramble. I’ve been cheated out of a lot, allow me a little self indulgence.
I think a lot of us are pulled in and stay in this community because it offers us something we don’t have in our regular lives. Whether that just be regular social interaction, or a desire for control in your life, or just wanting to feel respected, the list goes on. Our little Lord Of the Flies world gave us these feelings of gratification, when you pass that first EE or get a character you’ve wanted for so long... It makes you happy. It’s a pretty magical little place for a kid. It fills a need. 
Until it doesn’t. Until it becomes unhealthy. Until the magic wears off and the curtain is pulled away. As I’ve grown up those spurts of joy came less and less. I remember a smaller me fighting so desperately to get to this perceived point of success. I wish now I could tell myself to enjoy the ride a little more, and that this perception I had created does not exist. Tell myself to appreciate the friends around me more, that they won't always be there, and to appreciate the good you do have. To move on from all the stupid shit people did to you. The stupid shit you did to people. I’ve come to realize what is so much more important than any claim, any last name, any ability, is what you leave with. One day those things will be gone, and all you’ll be left with are the friends- and enemies -you’ve made over that period of time. You want to leave with more of the former. All you can take away from this place are the relationships you make, do not forget that.
I’ve reached a point where that happiness this place can give doesn’t exist anymore. Sparring is a chore. I don’t like the responsibility, nor the attention that comes with being looked up to. I don’t get excited about characters- I barely get the chance to use what I already have. I am tired of being jacked around with for just wanting to Role-Play. For the longest time I fought to feel whole, to feel like I had gotten everything out of this world, and to leave with it all accomplished, successful, a mogul, an idol, remembered long after I’m gone. Now that I look over the edge, I realize what I have is meant to be recycled, to pass onto a new generation, a new group of kids to have fun with the toys I used to. It is selfish to use up every last bit of this place and expect to take it all with me too.
We all have to grow up someday, eventually we have to put away the game and focus on our real life, though that is not why I’ve decided to retire. I could be active if I wanted to, I will have the time. I still love Arda, and I’ll remember the good times fondly. I hope it continues long, long after I am gone. I’m ready to retire because I’m really really looking forward to what's coming next in my life. I’m hopeful for the future, my future, for the first time since being a kid. I have grown out of needing this place. I don’t need the crutch anymore, I can walk on my own now. If anything it has been a weight holding me down for some time now, and it is time to cut myself free.
I will always love and appreciate this place in my memory. I will choose to remember the good times, of summer days and childhood, and I will not forget the impact these 9 or so years have made on me. I will never forget the many sweet faces and kind words I’ve come across in Arda, there is so much good in your hearts. The majority of the community is made up of those who Arda was designed for; you kids, with loads of free time and imaginations who have yet to be stalled by the anxieties of the world outside. I hope you all never change from your loving ways, and don’t fall into the trap that is the pack mentality a lot of us older gens did. It isn’t said enough, and Arda often makes us believe otherwise, but no matter where you fall in this world, whether you’re some “S-Tier” or at the bottom looking up, these things do not create your value. Your talent in beating someone up with words does not make you any better or worse than the people around you. This community started as kids playing make-believe together, don’t let it become more than that to you.
Now, I’m not dropping off the face of the earth. My messages will always be open to anyone who wants to use them. I have too many people I care about and want to hear from to just disappear. I will likely be on my real life profile most of the time, though I will make a point to check here when I can. If you would like to add me on your IRL, feel free to hmu!
As for Mai, she has found peace. She found a home in the wind, where she remained the rest of her days, a quiet life, a story told.
For Khai, I plan to still write his adventures outside of Arda. There is more to be told, but not in this world. I doubt I will share them.
For Aemon, who knows. He lived a brash life, a hot fire who likely burnt himself out. He may be alive somewhere, still playing his tricks on the unsuspecting. Perhaps he’s got some stories still to tell as well.
As of posting this, my claims are all up for grabs. I've given away what I want to. All I ask is for you to first consider, can you use this to your fullest potential? Could someone else? Are you using everything you already have? Of course, characters claimed under a series return back to their respective claims, except for Enkidu, who will remain as my legendary character should I wish to poke my head in from time to time. I would also request that my claim of Merlin, from the Fate series, be passed onto Erik. It is up to the claim to follow through with that wish.
That goes for all but Vaatu, who by his nature must be reborn. Just as in the show with the regular Avatar, this will be a random process that any child could be lucky (or unlucky) enough to receive. If you are interested in becoming the next Dark Avatar, message me. I will randomly draw a name from those who enter. I will remain in Arda long enough to see this through. There is no test, no process other than that. You, like the Avatars who came before you, will have to find mentors to guide you towards becoming a fully realized Avatar. The avatar claim is also up for grabs. I would highly suggest that whoever is granted the responsibility of the Dark Avatar work alongside Vincent, the Avatar, to continue run this historical claim. This will be posted shortly.
With that, here’s the end. Thanks to my friends, I wont do shout-outs but you know who you are. I love my clique, I love the people and friendships I'm getting to leave this place with. I hope our shared memories give you a smile in the future. My time here has shaped a lot of who I am. This place was where I could experiment with who I want to be, something I needed desperately growing up. I don't think I'll ever truly appreciate how valuable that was to me. While the last few years have been spotty, and my pride turned sour in my mouth, I refuse to outright curse the place so vital to my person. For that, I'll always love the CW.

Gaikou Tsuriman, Pazz, Pazzado, 'Matt' Founder of "Spiral Clan News' "Ninjas of the Hidden Mist"  'The First Global Clan Council' Professor of DADA, Professor of Clan Strategy, Founder and Leader of the secretive organization of 'Le Cache' (Publicized today), Co-Founder of the Clan World, OM, 'Leader and Founder of the Spy Union' (Hereby disclosed and disbanded as of today), Founder of the Anti-DayBreak League, Pivotal ally in the destruction of the Third Order, Pivotal ally in each of the Global Clan Wars, Veteran of all Global Clan Wars, thus far one of the oldest clan world members, 'Pumpkin man' Mentor to ShadowEyes, DragonTamer, WaterHeart, DeathHeart, Edward Light, Spiral Clan News (16000+ views) and so on and so on...
I Matthew OgreCoin, a founding member of the Clan World hereby officially resign from the Clan World based on the intensely falling standards of the Clan World, the breaking of the Fourth Wall, and increasing stupidity. The Clan World now is a world full of bigots, void of democracy, void of freedom, void of speech. The Clan World is no longer what it was initially attended to be, which was a safe-haven for kids to come to after a long day of school. However the decay of the Clan World began with the breaking of the Fourth Wall. The Clan World is now unnecessarily serious, and filled with unnecessary stress. This stress is than inflected upon others within the clan world. This world is now filled with webs of alliances which makes life even more complicated. The Clan World is filled with jabs at race, pleas of suicide, and restrictions to freedom. The Clan World is a cesspool filled with hatred and virtual supremacy. There are only shreds of morality in this pool of stupidity and within this pool there are many drowning they are drowning in ignorance,arrogance, and ego. Once again forgetting this is just a game, members of the Clan World and have gone so far as to lie about their status in their actual life. Flaunting that they are in fact, "the Star football player' at their school. However I contest these statements with disgust. (I will try to keep this as short as possible).
 My career began in 2008, in which I created the clan called "the Ninjas of the Hidden Mist" one of the first RP clans in existence in this period. I met with three peoples, [Valerian] RavenDust of the Werewolf clan, Blake of the Vampire clan. However I had not known how far we would go. The first war between us three major powers is how I deem it, "The Creation War" this war set the standard for alliances, spying, and the Death Tower/ Clan World. This one war allied myself and Valerian Ravendust together which led to the creation of even more alliances which would go on to face Blake and his "Terrible" Vampire Clan. This war set off activity throughout the "System of Clans" there was activity buzzing everywhere. Later on a new power arose, which was SCAR, of Chris ShadowShade, a war had begun with the Spiral Saints, myself, and SCAR which eventually led to the establishment of the Clan World. This was the first GCW lead to the overthrowing of totalitarian governments and the creation of democracy.
During this time I trained the founders of RP, who are now lost to history, Paul DeathHunter and Courtney WaterHeart they were considered the most powerful of their times, and created the term "God-mode". They were let's say the Madara/Osmund of their time. While sealing was thing of Naruto it was they who popularized it, along with a variety of other things.
The second GCW was between SCAR, DayBreak, The Ninjas of the Hidden Mist, the Fourth Order, this war led to the fall of SCAR and the slow fall of democracy, as DayBreak was given some control of the Clan World they were able to popularize RP rather than diplomacy.
The third GCW, was between DayBreak, The Ninjas of the Hidden Mist, another version of SCAR (I forgot its name), and the Fourth Order, and the Third Order. In this war spying was completely "destroyed" (in truth it wasn't as I continued the legacy of Seeker which led to the creation of the next GCW), Diplomacy was murdered, and DayBreak was given control of the Clan World. In this era all democracy died. (In short). DayBreak ushered in a new era of Role-Play supremacy, (I was in this clan as a spy). 
Of course our Network of spies and information was extremely proficient which leads to GCW4. Akatsuki Vs. Daybreak this GCW was created/Sparked by the network of Spies I had created, in which rumors were spread and conflicts began. As Le Cache (A secret organisation of veteran clan world leaders) decided DayBreak grew too strong. We quickly had to dismantle it, and we in fact did just that. With our avid connections, and influence in the clan world we saw fit that Daybreak was to be destroyed.
The next and final GCW (as of now) was between Akatsuki and Vanguard, in which members of Le Cache sided with the Akatsuki we worked tirelessly to provide Akatsuki with allies, along with extreme publication of anti-Vanguard propaganda. This was our final and most successful war. In this I have now revealed what I have done (Though it is not everything I have done). 
In conclusion: 
 This is too long as it is, and I can add even more details however I’ll stop here. In my time in the Clan World I've had the great pleasure of meeting brilliant minds, however these minds have gotten stuck in the internet. However in my final plea I ask all stupid and smart to please leave the internet and to focus on your education. The internet is not going to get you anywhere, all you are doing is causing stress to yourself. Please, hear my plea, coming from one of the veteran most members of the clan world, leave the clan world. It is of NO use to you. I claim my successor as Meagie Masakr, and hereby hand all my claims to her.  I truly did love my Clan World, genuinely. However it’s time that we all live up to our true potentials which is why I plea for you all to leave. The civilized Clan World has died, I encourage more resignations.
I would like to salute: Kiseki Kaori, Val Yggdrasil, Edmund Yggdrasil Amun-ra, Wulfric, Meagie Masakr, Christo WildEyes, Rebecca StormCaster (Rebecca Pierson), Maria DeathHammer, Cass FoeStrider, and Nathaniel OwlEyes. If you feel as if you should be listed then forgive me for missing you.
Some of you may dispute the validity of my statements. Well guess what? I don't really give two fucks. 
Never be afraid to speak out.

Hello everyone. As most of you may know, I have been in Arda for about 5-6 years. These past years that I've been involved within this community [have] truly been a great experience and I can't imagine what my teenage years without would've been like. Now, unfortunately, due to some rude and irritating individuals, I have continuously been getting messages about when I'm going to become active or not, or when I'm going to give up one of my claims for the public's general use. I ask Arda to please remember what people have to do in their lives; and remember: "This is a hobby." A hobby that I've been involved in for several of years now. So, due to me leaving Arda to make myself something, I'm going unfortunately retire. It pains me to go but my departure will unfortunately be bitter sweet..
Here's what's happening to the claims I once held.
OC: Mika and Yin Yang have been eliminated from the earth. The assassin and guardian of Arda have unfortunately fallen ill to their organic bodies ultimately deteriorating into nothing. Which in hindsight, the claims that were once inside of them will be killed off as well.
Canon: 
Menma Uzumaki - (My legendary character) Will be buried next to his brothers on the moon where Tatsuya Otsutsuki resides.
Izuku Deku - will be given to Jayda Gonzalez
Toshiro Hitsugaya - Has ultimately been killed off. *Yeah, fuck y'all*
The rest of the claims that I had will be returning to their rightful owners.
Arda, my experience within this community has been great. And I wish ALMOST each and everyone of you the best of luck in your lives. However, some of you must learn how to mature and realize that this type of stuff doesn't really matter. At the end of the day, don't let anyone stop you from securing your bag.
Now that I'm leaving, I won't be seeing most of you. But you'll definitely be seeing my name on T.V when you watch my cartoons. Peace.
~ Rilz, Menma, Mika, Yin/Yang and finally Marc Reed.

22 November 2018
This is just my official retirement post because I have to address some things.
Tatsuya Ōtsutsuki (an OC fusion of Hamura and Ichimoku Ren) will be taking his official leave from the theater that is Arda, 'withered away into the galaxy of emptiness' and never to be seen again, accompanied by his ally Kabuto Yakushi.
Orochimaru RPC will be humbly passed down to my son, Andros Hyuga Ōtsutsuki. I also leave my home, my Moon in his care as he will govern as regent in my permanent absence.
Everything else will be released indefinitely back to the respectable claims.
And no, I won't miss any of you.

As expected, I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ve reached the finale of my journey, the conclusion, and utter end. There’s no more encores, final runs, or one final hurrah.
Whether it was a good or bad run, that’s up to all of you to decide. 
However, I’d like to take time to reflect on the career and journey I trekked.
Part One: The Exposition.
For those who know me, I’ve never been one to like the person I was in the age of my career. (For those of you hoping to see a mention at Yami, you’re in the wrong place) I wanted dearly to be strong, I was a young child in Arda worshiping those who I believed to be strong. A member of Vanguard, my loyalty was sworn to those like Osmund, Athanasius, and Wulfric. Two of which I would later be vocal about disliking. Among the powerhouses that were of power in Vanguard, there were two I never liked. Judikael and Moriyomi, both would later become not only my greatest allies, but friends, and my parental figures in this world. The use of Magi Role-Play inspired me in Vanguard for something to work for, along with the planet busters of the Yggdrasil. I became a Ren and a Yggdrasil. Becoming Kouha and Virgo, two names which I would become known for. The name which stuck forever “Vi” would be branded in this phase.
Part Two: The True Journey. 
This phase consists of the post-Vanguard age. But what is most important of this age, was the journey of my true self. A man by the name of C approached me, offering me membership to his gang, Eclipse. It was such a cultural change from the strict terms of Vanguard. Being a villain was fun. I met new friends and companions, Yunan, Arba, C, Alarik, even though he wasn’t in it, and many more. I always told myself I one day wanted to recreate an organization similar to Eclipse, yet I never did. A time I felt most achieved in Arda was the war of Eclipse vs Sacred Oath. Standing across from the Titans of Arda. Osmund and Madara. My father, my step-brothers, and my former friends. This moment was the defining moment of who I was, it was the new chapter. I no longer worshiped those I say as gods before, yet I stood amongst those I respected. Lae, Judi, Judal, C, Akina, Katia, and even Nessy was there. We stood talk against those eyed as unbeatable. And to this day my largest regret was not destroying everyone across the line, but that’s a different story. That war didn’t give me my voice, it awoke it. It sparked a flame that led to me being vocal, independent, and relying on my own beliefs, rather than those of high-influence. The true victim of the war to me was my relationship with my father, Osmund. I didn’t die, and neither did our relationship, but it was never the same. I saw fault in his ways for the first time, I no longer saw him as a God, but rather a simple man. His decision to take a side in war against his son, wife, daughter, and brothers changed view. I still love him, but I no longer worship the same Gods I did before. After the war I managed a few startups, none of which I was truly proud of. During this time I decided to go capture 7 Djinn, bc why not. It was at this point, I met my bff, Yunan. I saw the disgusting colors of Arda at this point. The way people ruin relationships for self-gain and benefit. It didn’t work on us, but so many tried to break us apart. To use for their goals, it showed how sad it is that people use others as stepping stones. I soon began to fraternize with Judikael, more than anyone. He was my father. He taught me what others did not. I had many actual fathers, Sinn, Wulfric, and Osmund. But none of which had the impact he did. Kael Judi, though you never truly were my father, I hope you know I always viewed you as one. You’re a lifelong inspiration, influence, and friend. Along Judi, I began to interact with the two most loyal friends of all time: Ezekiel and Alarik Irminsul. I’ve never had a sense of true loyalty from anyone, I’ve been backstabbed countless times. But these two never harmed me. Thank you both. Finally Jiārè Xìngfú, Momo. My leader, my mother, and my friend. You steered me right, protected me, and raised me. I truly would not be alive both irl and in Arda without you. You helped me through my struggles, my suicidal nights, and depression. Thank you for everything.
Part Three. The End. 
I lost inspiration here. The only three things here that kept me going were Deidara, the goal to become Hashirama, and Kiriha Yūgen. My partner, my friend, and loof. Don’t let Arda consume you.
Pm me if you want any claims.
-Vi is out.
~ Everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree
And no one shall make them afraid
They'll be safe in the nation we've made
I wanna sit under my own vine and fig tree
A moment alone in the shade
At home in this nation we've made
One last time~

Hey everybody. I'm writing this today because once again, I'm choosing to leave the clan world. For good this time. I am going to abandon this FB as well. Off of that frank note, I've made many friends here, each one unique and equal in value to me as anybody else in my life. I've met brothers, made relationships, helped liberate the oppressed, and fought against vile and evil men for the sake of the fun and enjoyment of this community, in hopes that it would flourish and grow into something beautiful without those vile, evil men. However, I've realized now that this battle is not mine to fight. It is the battle of the newer generation. I am outdated and old, and have no place fighting your battles. Each and every person in this community, even those vile, evil men who have oppressed this realm, however, have the potential to flourish. The reason I kept coming back to the DT after expressing constantly my disgust for it, was because I couldn't help but watch and observe that potential, and nurture it when I [could]. The day has come now where I cannot do that anymore. I'm old, and it is time for me to leave this life behind to journey elsewhere. This very well may be the last many of you will hear from me. And if that is the case, then I want all of you to know, even the enemies I've made and my close friends of old, that I care deeply for you all and hope that you blossom into something beautiful. I am aware that I have started many things, and ended many things. I've planted seeds of philosophy into many of you, and I have offered many of you my thoughts, advice, and plans for the future. Whoever would like to carry those on, may. Regardless, I now speak to all of you as people, and not RPers. I've told a few of you that we live in a web of causes and effects, driven by opinion and purpose. Each strand of this intricate web plays a role, fights for a perspective, and suffers consequences for being on the path that it is. In my passing, consider which strand of this web you would like to walk. You may live as many, but keep in mind you can only die as one. Farewell, and the best of luck to all of you.
