This soul known as Jetpack725 is a lost one,
One who has suffered, Endured and hoped, for the passage of time, only leads him despair,
All for what, you say? Nothing, He has no purpose, nobody.
All his life, no matter what he did, where he went, he was always beat down by life itself,
at times he realizes it's his fault, at times, He feels life has it against him.
All in all, Talking to him, he seems normal, fine, happy most of the time,
But deep inside, hidden, He's only a Lost soul in the Darkness.
This Darkness has molded him, He no longer feels the pain that constantly hinders him,
He no longer cares, has given up any light, Only to embrace the darkness that has become a part of his life.
He's tried many times to get out, but to no avail.
He is the one who walks between worlds.
He has redacted the universe itself,
broken the bonds between timelines,
and... occasionally forgets what he was going to say. He holds the key to the Void,
walks upon the edges of the multiverse,
and smudges his glasses frequently.
...
And he references things occasionally.
Be afraid.
...
Or not.
Your call. I AM SHAADARIS, GOD OF RETCONNING AND BRINGER OF [REDACTED].
Or am I?
For this name is not mine, nor shall it be, nor was it.
It is one of many names I have taken;
not the first, and certainly not the last - but then what is my name?
... Well what would be the fun in telling?
Okay so I'm that guy with the things who does stuff.
What exactly is my job here? I dunno, ask the manager.
I first joined the nexus before the Mod Topic and Discussion Threads split in the original Starbound Forums version of the community.
I've seen many faces come and go, and I've had a few breaks here and there, but here I remain.
I don't really go by Shaadaris anymore as that name is being used by one of the main characters in stories I'm working on.
...I'm still that here because that's the only name most people really know me by around here.
I read Homestuck, I watch a lot of anime, I love fantasy and sci-fi - especially both together.
I game frequently.
...Yeah, I'm a nerd. So what?
I'd almost swear this introduction was going somewhere...
Uhh... No, I guess not.
So yeah, hi, I'm here. If you want to know things about me, go to my ask page linked in my signature or just ask me...
...
Yeah. *DRAMATIC POST END NOISES*
My original avatar on Chucklefish Forums. Used one of RyujiinZERO's sketches as a reference.
Another project of mine is still under construction, but I'll post it as soon as I get it finished. I also have a Texture Pack for Minecraft still in the works, which will hopefully be done soon.
Speaking of, if you want art from me, shoot me a message, PM, or some other something to get my attention, and I'll see what I can throw together.
Because sometimes I wonder if you guys will forever stay in that one thread when you've got an entire forum to do things.
So to make it a little easier to keep track of what improvements are in the works, I'll list them here.
Other admins/moderators feel free to add items to this list or to change them to strikethrough with the date completed so that we know what has been implemented.

The Avali Race Mod is made by RyuujinZERO, and is currently the highest-rated mod for Starbound (Which honestly it probably doesn't deserve at this stage). To sum it up, it adds a race of ammonia-based, feathery, sapient space raptor nomads to the game, complete with unique furniture, weapons and clothing.
The Avali community started as a lowly, calm place to discuss the mod. However, as the Avali got bigger and bigger, so did the community, until it transcended into an uncontrollable mass of RP and shenanigans (99% the time NOT canon) that is as stable as a nuclear power plant without cooling.
And so the inevitable happened. The 500 page page limit was reached in mere weeks, and the discussion thread was locked just before it could reach page 700.
The discussion thread split into two after the lock - a second discussion thread, and a brand new clan thread. The new discussion thread is the first one except the uncontrollable mass filtered out, and the clan threads are that uncontrollable mass. We're preeetty active. The average lifespan of a clan thread is 2 weeks.
As the 13rd 14st 15nd 16th 17th 18th 19th 20th 21st 22nd 23nd thread faced the wrath of the mods, it was high time to get the fuck out of the CF forums. So here we are.
We killed threads upon threads, went through legendary adventures, faced down Iblis himself, and finally...
