He is also a big mom.
== Early 2007 ==
In early 2007, Tetsuya joined [The World] right after the release of version 6.0. He made quick friends with the users ZeitZero, and BlackCat. One, a PK, the other, a PKK. Tetsuya chose the road of a PK. At level 23 the player A u r a began appearing in [The World], leading Tetsuya to the discovery of Aura's bed. At the time of this discovery, the mysterious substance known as AIDA was also present in the PCs of Sig Berg and Arion, though it had formerly only been seen in Xele. With a confrontation with A u r a, Tetsuya was warped to fight the entity known as Skeith, who defeated him. It was also during this period that he met Mouse, Tactics, Karu, rOOster, Hiroto, and many other players that started around this time.
Tetsuya also completed his first event in this time period, the hide and seek event, earning him a 'Jar of Dirt', which at the time was a rare, but useless, item.
== Summer 2007 ==
In June 2007 Tetsuy joined the guild "the Preventers". Though soon, having seen the powers of Ashitaka's AIDA and the fun of his warp hacking, Tetsuya had learned to use the warp hack, as well as borrowed AIDA from Ashitaka. Obsessed with this newfound power, he stole Ashitaka's AIDA, leading to an eventual ban from [The World] due to using the warp hack. After returning 2 days later, Tetsuya took on a new role as a strong-willed rule-supporter, reporting any infractions to CC's rules, earning him the nickname "Ratsuya".
As illegal AIDA became more and more common and powerful, Tetsuya grew to level 73 to try and be strong enough to combat the growing epidemic, creating the guild "Reminisce". However soon he obtained his own AIDA and used it to grow to level 80. It was at this time that Tetsuya started the player killing guild 'Havoc' with Mouse. Only days after reaching this new level, Tetsuya stepped in an acid pit while his AIDA was activated, and was deleted.
Recreating himself, Tetsuya grew to level 43, having again obtained AIDA from the Ouroborus character. However when training in a field, the server shut down, leaving Tetsuya's character trapped in the field with AIDA on, it was again deleted.
It was also in the summer that Tetsuya faced many problems with The Preventers, leading to prank calls to his real world phone, and being the target of spam hacks. It was also during this time that he became close to Sakaro and Sammy.
Also in the summer, Tetsuya suggested that the staff member EyeofCalamity create a beach field, which Eye quickly made. Tetsuya named it "Ivory Shore" and it can be found at Delta, Chosen Passed over Aqua Field
== Late 2007 ==
Tetsuya took a 2 month hiatus from [The World] before returning and growing to level 51, discovering that Sephiroth X had returned to [The World]. Together with Hiroto (who had been deleted by Sephiroth X at the height of her power) he began hunting clues for Sephiroth X's true identity, leading up to his next deletion with the discovery that his password was the same as his account name, knowledge that Sephiroth X used to delete Tetsuya's character. 
== Havoc Civil War ==
In 2007, Mouse and Tetsuya were at odds and a small civil war broke out in Havoc. Sephiroth X deleted Mouse's character as the war escalated. Mouse, now at level 1 without any in-game strength ceded the guild to Tetsuya who was now the sole leader of the guild.
== Early 2008 ==

After his deletion, Tetsuya recreated his character for the last time as a wavemaster. Quickly climbing the ranks he was again joined by Mouse in re-establishing the guild 'Havoc' again reaching level 80.
Having not shaken off his obsession that all players follow the rules, Tetsuya began to again aggressively pursue the same ideals as before. Around this time he became closer friends with Karu, a notorious PK of [The World].
Soon following, 'Havoc' went to war with the guild "The Turks". The war soon began to encompass other guilds like Fallen Chaos, and MoonTree. 
The war ended with neither side claiming victory.
Also in 2008, Tetsuya held a funeral for the recently departed Baby Grunty of Theta server.
== Banning ==
In May 2008, Tetsuya was banned for an inappropriate forum avatar, after attaining the spot on CC as the 8th highest poster. After his banning, Tetsuya revealed himself to be Sephiroth X. Criticism followed as Sephiroth X/Venat had been known to use illegal warp hacks and illegally obtained AIDA items to delete high ranking characters. Tetsuya's entire brand having been based on a strict rule-enforcer was called into question as being hypocritical or as an attempt to throw other users off his scent as the real player behind Venat. In actuality, Tetsuya aggressively pushed for other players to be banned to ensure that only his Venat character would have access to these illegal items. 
== Unbanning ==
In November 2008, Tetsuya (along with anyone else ever banned) was unbanned to celebrate the upcoming release of The World: Classic.
