PhoenixWrites

The Abadastarix from PhoenixWrites' story series, "Cosmic Odyssey."

## Beginnings

PhoenixWrites joined the Metroid Community Discord on July 9th, 2022. Though he joined during that time, he only spoke a few times in #general and never talked again. He left the server to rot in a "Metroid" folder, never to interact with it (Or so we thought). In an unexpected turn of events, Phoenix returned to MCD. Phoenix returned because of the release of Metroid Prime Remastered and his freedom during Spring Break. In actuality, his activity began on March 13th, 2023.

Besides the release of Metroid Prime Remastered, Phoenix thought some of the users were rather *interesting,* to put it lightly. For his love of Metroid and the fascination with the users, he decided to attend a random movie night event for Kamen Rider. Phoenix knew absolutely nothing about it, but went with it anyway to get out of his comfort zone. It was most certainly awkward for him and perhaps other users who did not know him at all. The event turned out okay. Not perfect, but okay.

After meeting various members and viewing the movie, he knew he had to create more chaos. He knew he had to make some *noise*. He had to make himself known and become more comfortable around the users. Thus, began his quest to invite his friends Rain / V1T4 and Night to the server. Phoenix and them would visit the accursed "Maridia" voice channel and play the dreaded Hannah Montana Nintendo DS game on the melonDS emulator. They would also voice the characters with the worst possible accents.

Their actions would garner the attention of the moderator, Tron. He joined their VC, wondering about the implications of their ridiculousness. He accepted their chaos, bonding with Phoenix and his friends for hours on end. This would also trickle into other days during the week of March 13th, 2023. These actions would include reviving the MCD Minecraft server, spreading the word of Hannah Montana throughout MCD, and creating the Hannah Montana War Arc thread. Alongside, Phoenix would bond with several other members on MCD like toomuchdog, Blanket, and ChozoLightshow.

## About

PhoenixWrites is a rather unpredictable individual on the Metroid Community Discord. Some days he is very active and other days he is not active at all. More recently, he has been less active because of life affairs, personal reasons, writing projects, and other Discord server endeavors. But when he is active, it is mostly within #general, including "Mxsked Appreciation Thread", "Tron appreciation thread", "Hannah Montana War Arc", and "The gay shit" thread. Sometimes Phoenix will speak in the #technology and #writing channels because of his interest in both topics. Besides those areas, he is also quite active within the voice channels. It is another reason he speaks less in text channels. He much prefers speaking and getting to know people through voice rather than text. Though his introversion and shyness sometimes prevents this and is a contender for his diminished activity on MCD too.

Though he is rather reserved, he is far different when getting to know him. Some of his friends and himself claim that he is an honest and genuine person. However, this side is only seen with a couple of users and close friends. The more comfortable he becomes with a person, the more honest he will be. This also accounts his rather chaotic behavior involving the Hannah Montana Cult and other silly shenanigans most other users will not understand. He personally doesn’t care if people don’t get him. That’s a part of “filtering” out the wrong kind of people.

## Hannah Montana

Phoenix and his friend, Rain / V1T4, have continuously joked about Hannah Montana for as long as they can remember. There is no specific origin for how or why it happened, unfortunately. It just happened one day and the inside joke stuck. It is assumed that this joke started around late 2020, but it cannot be entirely pinpointed. Since then, Phoenix and Rain have spread the word of this ridiculous joke across several different Discord servers. The Metroid Community Discord server is no exception.

From the beginning of Phoenix’s residence at MCD, he and his friends have constantly made references to Hannah Montana and the series itself. The primary reason for these actions was to make Phoenix feel more comfortable around the other users. This tactic worked, especially with the moderator Tron joining in on it. However, some users may or may not have been aggravated by his attempts to spread the word of Hannah Montana. Whether or not people liked this chaotic behavior, he still continues with the joke to this day.

The introduction to Hannah Montana on MCD led to a thread being created. That thread being “Hannah Montana War Arc”, created on March 17th, 2023. With the thread’s beginnings, it served as an escape from #general for Phoenix. It also served as a way for him and his friends to spam Hannah Montana emotes and other Hannah Montana related content. As of June 2023, this thread has diminished in activity. The joke would also expand to the MCD Minecraft server with the shrine of Hannah Montana being created by Night and the ten commandments written by Phoenix.

An expansion of the joke was created with the inclusion of pop music star, Taylor Swift. This begun on June 1st, 2023 with Phoenix and Rain spamming the lyrics of *Better Than Revenge* by Taylor Swift in #general. This action lead to the creation of the “Taylor Swift War Arc” thread. This expansion was in hopes of rekindling the Hannah Montana joke. However, in the eyes of Phoenix, this was not successful since it formed on the dreaded day of Thursday. On June 26th, 2023, Phoenix would close and leave the “Taylor Swift War Arc” thread to let it rot. However, the thread would return on July 7th, 2023 because of the release of Taylor Swift's album, *Speak Now (Taylor's Version).*

## Writing Projects

PhoenixWrites will occasionally post his writing in the #writing channel. Phoenix claims a lot of these pieces are for practice. These include poetry and short stories. Phoenix's poems are in relation to his current thoughts and feelings on subjects and people. His short stories are in relation to his characters within his writing projects. Currently, Phoenix's big writing projects are *Cosmic Odyssey* and *Metroid Daybreak.* He only posts about *Metroid Daybreak* on the Metroid Community Discord because of its theme.

*Metroid Daybreak* is an canon divergence alternate universe story series of the Metroid game series. It is written by Phoenix. This series features various characters and planets that do not exist within the Metroid franchise. These characters and planets are centered around a new Chozo tribe called Kekora. The Kekora Chozo tribe consists of members from the Thoha and Mawkin tribes. They live within a new planetary system called Rekkderrum on the planet Errio III. This tribe expanded because of the Chozo newborn, Prince Phoenix Star. More information is offered with the "Metroid Daybreak (PhoenixWrites)" thread in the #writing channel.

## Trivia

* Phoenix listens to Taylor Swift on a daily basis.
* Phoenix occasionally posts fan art of Hawks from My Hero Academia in "The gay shit" thread.
* Tron always mistakes Phoenix for ChozoLightshow because of their affinity for birds. In accordance, Phoenix and Chozo swapped names to tease Tron. Chozo was ChozoWrites and Phoenix was PhoenixLightshow temporarily. This occurred around the beginning of April 2023.
* According to various users, Phoenix and his gang from across the universe (Rain / V1T4, Moodess / Lotus, and Night) revived the voice channels on MCD. This was all because of Hannah Montana's great power and influence on MCD.
* His favorite Metroid game is a tossup between Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.
