In the year of 2003, I bought and played the game Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast. I found several clans but none of them suited me. Then I found a clan called ReD. Don't even know what it stood for lol. But I had to trial out to become a member. I had to fight a leading clanmember, called Muffin. I didn't have any code of conduct or knew rules of respect. So as soon as we bowed down, I did a RDFA and won the fight lol.
After awhile, the clan started to die. So I searched for another server. I found the Jedi Order Temple. Still without any code of conduct, I entered the server and started to lame everyone. Really..really bad. But some members of the Jedi Order took me under their wing. Jedi Menelaos, Master Aoshi, Master PannTher, Knight Erue, Master Vos, Jedi Mei-oh, Knight Foxen and a little hopefull called RinkXing-Dinx!
Like Master Alpha, I had to change my name. At the time I was called Rodian. When I made my application, I chose the name Shin-Tetsu. Oh the fun times we had on Jedicouncilgc 3.0. But the most excited times were when there were trials or meetings. I could not enter or see any of it because I was not a member.
I became close friends with Jedi Menelaos and hopefull Rink. When Jedi Menelaos became a Jedi Knight, he could join the Recruiting team. Soon after that, I was accepted into the Order.
The Knight who was my dear friend, became my Master. A Master who I have loved and hated, but still has a place in my heart.
When I had the hardest trials JO has ever given to a Jedi, I became a Knight. To this day, I am glad that Master Alpha didn't chose Kenshin or PhantXar as Master. But became my Padawan. A friend for life.
