Vyver... running Tangent was an honor and a humbling experience. It was our second supergroup to run - the first being The Zenvious Foundation - and left us with a great number of good memories, not the least of which were the missions and conversations with your Shri'taki. But people come and go from supergroups (or guilds, in games like WoW) sometimes seemingly at a whim, and who would we be to judge you for that?
On a very personal level, I'm glad we had the opportunity to be part of your chrysalis, your transformation. Watching someone grab hold of roleplaying, of telling a story rather than just beating buttons and filling a pixelized progress bar, that is an honor and a miracle, and one I would not trade for anything.
Here's hoping your future has many equally amazing transformations. And if we ever have the pleasure of being there to see them, we will be honored all over again.

Where do we go from here?
Shri-
That's what I called both your character ICly and you OOCLY. Fiera Arcane was my toon- or Lexi for short- and I'm the wife of Hero Prime.
What my husband said in his post is truth. The honor of being a part of something as amazing as someone learning to embrace storytelling and roleplay can't be counted or measured. It's something in the heart, not just the mind.
There's nothing for you to apologize for. We never took it personally that you left nor would we ever. You had your reasons and we understood/understand that.
I remember you with fondness and your character still makes me smile when I look back. Blue taught her to dance. It's even still on Winsome Blue's Virtueverse page.
We're dominoes when it comes to something like this. We teach you and then you teach others. So we have to say thank you to YOU for what you'll be passing on.
If you'd like to keep in touch oocly just toss me a message and we'll see about keeping in contact. I'll be there if you have any more questions, thoughts, worries, ideas etc. that you want to talk about. I know this game is ending but there's so much more to come in life.
Go. Do. Be.
-Lexi
Thanks guys, it means a lot.
I still remember that day on top of the building and I still remember every night in the base.
Fiera was like a mother to Shri, and her always friendly demeanor taught me that it's never wrong to jump in and have fun, even if you aren't sure of yourself.
Srsly, I would not be the CoH player I am (was) today without you two.
No I need to seriously stop before I make myself cry.
As an "on again off again" player since 2009, I've took many a breaks, and made many a friend. I feel like its obvious to mention that I'll always remember my time with my villain group The United Underworld. They were (and still are) great friends that really made the game pop for me, and kept me from leaving.
Also cause we're like, DA BEST redside villain group ever.
Like...ever.
But there's a group that's even more important to me.
Tangent.
Ran by the incredible Hero Prime and his wife. (which, for the drunken life of me I can't remember what her toons name was)
Tangent was my first RPSG, my first REAL Rp character, Shri'taki, and they taught me everything I know about RPing in this game, and in groups. I owe them everything, and everything I've become.
Without Tangent, there wouldn't be a Seismecca. AND WOULDNT THAT BE HORRIBAD
I'm ashamed that I left them without a word. It was incredibly rude and selfish of me. So, I'm sorry.
For everything. You guys deserved better. And I hope whatever CoHless future you have ahead of you is filled with sunshine.
yours truley
vyver
