VRSona

VRSona or more commonly referred to as VRSona Reloaded, was a Persona influenced and inspired VRChat content development community originally created by Jinsters before being taken down and recreated in 2020 by Korzak alongside many other content creators. The group was later deleted due to drama in the community and various incidents.
Since its disbanding, there have been numerous elaborate gag groups dedicated towards parodying the original intent of VRSona, such as SpamJams VRSona 2: Electric Boogey.
== History ==
During late 2019, a group of VRChat players had met and developed a community dedicated towards Persona content creation. The group would later create a Discord server in 2020 during the initial Covid 19 quarantine dubbed VRSona and would begin growing in members dramatically after affiliating itself with the likes of Pahoys persona community with many roles would be allocated ascertaining to each members preferred Persona game. 
Upon its initial creation, VRSona hosted numerous get togethers and allowed many content creators to work together in developing new worlds and models. Many of its members were originally introduced upon meeting Korzak, who had at the time began making worlds on VRChat dedicated towards memes and joke avatars. While not entirely formed of Persona content creators, many were content creators in their own rights and would even go on to make streams and videos featuring the many members such as a Murder 3 video featuring the member CKS.
Many others were asked to join through Persona worlds such as Café Leblanc and most notably one of its influences, a roleplayer that played the role of Sojiro Sakura, named EdwardNygma.

Despite VRSona's popularity at the time, most of the communities intent was lost when the user Shin had used a client to steal several avatars from Pahoy's Avatar Subway, with the blame being put solely on Korzak who had acted as their scapegoat. With Pahoy's Discord server calling out the user in question and casting aspersions upon VRSona due to many copycat model rippers following suit much like the influencer Spamjam, many members were cast as guilty by association, despite how little members connected with one another.
Deliberately stalking and harassing many of VRSonas members, a youthful creator by the name of Piano and their own friend group of users effected (Namely Steel Ball Run and Cecil Harvey) would confront them on many occasions and even outright eavesdrop on friendly meetings to collect information on VRSona and its members. Combined with the anxiety of the passing moderator Toxic and the allegations, many became frustrated and disoriented by the spiraling community.
The chaotic environment was only kindled by the unhealthy environment and atmosphere of the groups internal discussions, with Korzaks odd political beliefs towards Nazi's and LGBT combined with his rants under the influence and KeatsBeats schizophrenic breakdowns and those that white knighted for her eccentric and random behaviors. Many believed the groups dynamic to be toxic over time, avoiding conversations altogether and randomly venting on one another over trivial matters. 
Many such as LordOfBlood were shunned by the community for expressing their feelings for other members of the same sex, while others such as Saylonia and ShinWasHere were allowed into the community despite their involvement with Piano and their poorly hidden intent to further harm the community.
The stalking and harassment would come to a head when Shin would post a Persona world and had personally and consensually requested Signas501 stream his experience of those joining to hear their opinions of the world. Upon streaming the world, Piano began instigating a situation upon seeing Signas observing the crowds opinion of Shins world from behind a see through mirror, believing that he was spying on Pianos group after trying to settle the conflict himself. Coinciding with the video showing Pianos true nature to the public, he would join Signas game the next day to confront him with a crowd of his close friends, only to be called out in the public eye once again for his "Guilty by Association" logic, narcissistic skepticism, toxic intolerance of others and instigating situations before antagonizing others and putting words in their mouth.
Despite the mixed reception, the community would eventually mend and continue to grow after the drama had subsided due to a feud between the content creator Piano and the third party Discord group Cathedral Beach had stepped in to resolve any misinformation. Although the group would go on to prosper over the course of several months and would even rebrand as VRSona Reloaded, Korzaks perception of the group was never favorable. The group would later disband that same year.
== Post VRSona Reloaded ==
While VRSona Reloaded would be permanently taken down once again, many of its members would join Cathedral Beach as a Bridge Community in order to reconnect while Korzak would undergo a severe change physically and mentally.
