Solaris Magnus

## The Man behind the Mask

Solaris Magnus, formerly known as Starparu, is the Co-Supreme overlord of Blank Slate alongside MT. He is well known for his mildly unhealthy obsession with the color orange and his rampant addiction to the same game re-released over and over again for 21 years (formally known as Pokemon). A far cry from his younger self, Sol is a pretty chill dude, being one of the most active members and generally getting along with/being friends with everyone in the chat.

## Rise to Power (2012-2013)

After having spent many years as one of the BZPC's meme-tier members, Starparu returned after a 2 year hiatus, and a major personality adjustment, to find Xat abandoned and all his friends missing. To no ones surprise, he found Mesonak lurking on a defunct Bionicle forum and was summarily linked to BZPC's new home on Skype. In the ensuing months, discussion was rather sporadic, with only a handful of old BZPCer's still present and even fewer actually bothering to say anything. Discussion ramped up one day when Starparu informed the chat that he was getting an Xbox and Halo and wanted to get friends to play with him. As a result, he made a side-chat called the Halo Players chat, or HBZPC. Discussion boomed, and slowly the chat morphed from a Halo chat, to a general video game chat, to the sucessor to the glorious BZPC. One day, former BZPCer and TTV Founder Varderan came onto HBZPC, changed the chat name to [BLANK SLATE] and threatened to murder Star if anyone ever changed it. Needless to say both the name (and the random brackets) stuck, and a new era in the chat history began - with Star and MT running the show.

## Move to Discord and Name Rebrand (2013-Present)

Midway through 2013, Destiny 1 (aka crack) was released and Star was roped into joining a TTV-based Raid group, featuring soon to be Blank Slate regulars ShadowHuntr85/Bambi, Bigthwomp, BTMOmegaR, Borne, Sammy, and others. Over time, Star began to link them to the skype Blank Slate as membership had been dwindling and very few remained active. The chat flourished during this time period, however college responsibilites kept Star preocupied for weeks at a time. To compensate, Star promoted MT to Admin along side Mesonak and Dariux as chat moderators to run things when he was unavailable. By late 2016, Star decided to take a brief month off from internet chats due to some life stuff, and returned with a new name, Solaris Magnus, as he felt that his original moniker no longer suited or represented who he was anymore. Soon after Shadow, being the little annoying twerp he is, turned into the Mormon priest equivalent of a Discord Salesman and constantly harped on everyone to switch from Skype to Discord. While initially opposed to the idea, Sol, MT, and the other members ultimately agrred that while Voice chat was rarely used, Discord had a variety of nicer features, limitless member additions, and frankly wasn't skype. The Slate crew has resided there ever since, and likely will until Discord eventually becomes antiquated and another chat server takes over :p.
