Quan

Probably no other figure in GotOR history has caused as much controversy and brought so much resentment to himself as the role-player known as Quan.

Quan was an active member during the Noralee-Mordred conflict on the Bioware forums in fall of 2004, siding with Lord Mordred's faction and participating in all the chaos that it brought to the forum. His name comes from the username he used during the conflict, Emperor Quan-Chi after the Mortal Kombat character. Using a seperate account he also created the Dark Empire, a third Sith faction that was relatively minor compared to the main two groups. When the moderators officially banned the conflict by threatening to suspend anyone caught role-playing, the group migrated to an official RP forum, the very first Quan had ever participated in. In the early days of GotOR many began to question his loyalty as he jumped ship between factions several times. He admits this without a problem in the present day, and he still sees no problem with it, believing that loyalty is a virtue for fools.

But he also soon became infamous for his brash nature and hot temper, instigating many conflicts over the years with other board members(the number of people he fueded with far outnumbered the number of people he didn't, a perfect example of this). As a result he slowly started becoming shunned by the GotOR community(with the exception of a few close contacts) and he finally reached a boiling point in early 2006 when he ubruptly left and launched verbal attacks on the community via the Gungan Council.

He would return a year later after apologizing and asking the community for forgiveness, which was granted. The community's acceptance of him after all he had said about them humbled him, and although he swore to change he found himself caught in another fiasco when he created a new forum to attract members away from the main community. Some saw it as a sign he was trying to take over, a charge he to this day denies.

When GotOR was yet again reactivated in 2008, this time with a strict power system and storytelling, Quan joined the others in the role play as both a Jedi and Sith. It would unfortunately be the final run for GotOR, dying off a few months later as interest waned. On October 9th, 2009, Quan led the funeral service to officially bury GotOR once and for all.

Quan has stated many times that both Knights of the Old Republic and the community of GotOR have affected his life, as the role-playing inspired him to take up writing as a hobby to create his own worlds and characters instead of reading others. His most famous character was Darth Venomous, which he created in 2005 and occasionally uses in his stories to this day, although he has since renamed the character Darth Raum. He is mostly a free agent these days and writes his own fan fics, with GotOR being the only RP community he ever took interest in.
