Back in Black!

As you all have probably read in the last Rollmaster report, there has been a bit of movement within the Clans leadership, placing me into my old house! Some of you may know/remember me, but for those who don't, a brief introduction is in order:

I am Azmodius (Az for short) and was also a member of HAP when I first joined the DB in 2014, thanks to my close personal friend you all know as Furios. I am 25 and currently juggling work and school, hoping to finish my bachelors in mechanical engineering. I was born in Ukraine but, I have been in the states since I was 1 and 1/2. I am fluent in Russian and taught myself how to read and write (Russian) when I was in high school. My biggest attraction to the DB was the multitude of courses in the SA. When I first joined I was simply a long time fan of the films but, having access to so much information drew me in further. Later, as I began to develop my character through fiction and competitions, I found myself a part of a community with members who are kind and helpful.

Azmodius has had a somewhat tumultuous history, leading him to take on many vices at an early age. Although he is a Sith, he loves goofing around whenever he can. Azmodius loves beasts and can typically be found with his feline companion Ozzy Pawsborne when not out on an assignment. In short he's a lot like Shaggy Rogers, only dark and with an Orange Tabby instead of a Great Dane.

Working Hard for the Money

As you can probably tell, I like to use song titles for my headers. In this case: Look at all the shinies!!!

Drugs and You

With today being 4/20, I felt it was important, and was definitely not forced by a certain Rollmaster as part of a community service, to discuss the dangers of drugs. Yes, even masters of the force can be overcome by chemical dependancies that can put them in uncomfortable situations or even result in their death. The first step in preventing such things, is to know what you're dealing with.

Spice

Spice has several forms and is found all over the galaxy. Some forms are Glitterstim, Ryll and Sansanna spice. While it has some medicinal properties and is reported to give a telepathic boost, Excessive use will cause degeneration of nerves within the brain, resulting in loss of sight, twitching, nervousness, and paranoia. You can identify a spice user by the staining on their fingers and face due to long term use.

Death Sticks

Death Sticks are a hallucinogenic drug commonly sold in the Outer rim and Coruscant. There are 2 forms in which they exist. Liquid Death Sticks can be taken by ingesting or intravenous injection, while granules can be smoked or crushed into a fine powder and inhaled. The use of Death Sticks will not only shorten your lifespan but, weaken your connection to the Force.

Salt

While Salt is not a drug to most species, to Arcona, it is a highly addictive substance that will cause hallucinations and their eyes to turn golden. For any Arcona out there, salt can also be identified by it's other names such as Halite and Sodium Chloride. So remember, if someone offers you any of those, just say "NO!" Unless you are not Arcona... In which case its great on noodles.

Just say NO

Many dealers will try to get you to try some of the above mentioned drugs. They will tell you all kinds of things and even offer the first one for free. While this may be tempting, its just a trick to make you into an addict and a recurring customer for them. So, when someone offers you drugs, refuse them in any way you can. Sometimes this can be hard, so I've mad a short list of ways to say "NO":

• No Way, I'm ok!
• Back off, buster!
• Spice? No dice!
• Death Sticks are for lunatics!
• You better halt with that salt!

Of course, if drawing attention to yourself is not a huge problem, violence always solves everything!

Conclusion of an Age

I may have mentioned this in Arden's last report as his BTL but, I am really excited to be back in HAP and working with the powerhouse of Plagueis: Kelly Mendes. As this is my first run at Aedile I know I have much to learn from her and hope to absorb it quickly! With that, I leave you all to my favorite way to refuse Illicit substances.
