I have a bad reputation.
Of what?
A collection of negative remarks only broadened by rumours amoung a faulty game of Telephone. These remarks come from people who can only comment negatively to their friends about how they dislike me or my [roleplaying] character[s].
Effective today, I am now barred from all midwest games because of said reason. These rumours originated 6 years ago, yet they all say it was about 10 years by rumour. Even so, 10, even 6, years is an insanely long time to hold a petty grudge on a 'child'.
First they were sickened that I came out to them, first game, as a furry [long before I knew what furry was. Think of a furry on Gaia. Just some underage anime fanatic. That was me.]
That, coupled with the rumour of why i actually ran away from home at 17 [they say 14, I'm 23 now], getting into witchcraft [bs], telling people the game was demonic in actuality [more bs], and so on.
It shouldn't matter that I actually beleive in werewolves, but to them it does. It's also against the rules, they say. [Especially now since Whitewolf Publishing changed focus to actual mythology and terms instead of their made up fictional names and stories.]
This isn't just local. Apparently which ever game I decide to go to, they get involved and bitch out the ST there to make my life hell, too. [ie. Cleveland] Even at public events, like such a convention where they shouldn't hold such discretion, they do [ie. Anime Reactor]. This cuts out a large portion of that night's storyline involvement when I am pulled off to the side to be told by a certain ST who is about to RP a major scene with everyone, that I cannot be included because he has personal issues with me that have been based off of hearsay.
I've also been called a cheater, which is BS because I really don't know how to play. It's too often that I witness players taking advantage of me because of my disability of never finding someone to guide me into the art of the game. My storylines are usually dull since it takes me a few months to build up where I want to go with the character.
My social life has been shot to hell; being rejected by rejects.
I really don't know what to do or what to improve upon.
I can look into a mirror all day and night, and find nothing wrong with me or my personal-character.
Your thoughts?
