We all had to start somewhere. As much as some folks would like to pretend otherwise, that place is noob town. So let's pull out the bad posts and mary sues, and take a walk down memory lane.

Oh my god. I was looking for some of my old RP stuff and then I remembered that I had posted stuff on petpages on Neopets. Neopets is where I started RPing. So this is like... As old as it gets. There are two pages that I found -- a first person intro to my rapscallion, Eezido, and a page with some character descriptions. It is titled "Sypon's pwnsome pets! biggrin " because I am a class act.
You know, for being a 12-or-so year-old, this is actually not as terrible as it could have been. I mean, it's cringe worthy of course, but I haven't averted my eyes as much as I have thought that I would.
Things that I have learned:
- I had no idea what comma splices were until high school.
- All things considered, my characters' weird eye colors were somewhat justified due to Neopets, but I can't believe one of them actually flashes rainbows. For reals.
- How was I able to be so graphic on Neopets? I am positive that if I try to edit these pages now, the filters will freak out and I will probably get banned. I also said "aroused" at some point, which is probably insta-warning.
- It is obvious what I liked. EarthFang = my love of the Bartimaeus Trilogy.
- 12 year-old me had some clever ideas that I didn't really go into detail on or remember implementing: "Her gigantic Khnum, Kiki, is her source of transportation for long journeys" and "Build: Large, but skinny, like she was pulled together by ropes." are my favorites.
- I apparently got the name Sharz (my troll hunter and main from WoW... And also a Seviper) from Neopets.
- Even though I don't know what dialect it's supposed to be, Eezido's accent is actually not that bad. Good work, 12 year-old me.
I guess now is the time that I fold and post the links to these artifacts of time gone by.
ENJOY MY CHILDHOOD:

[ I first started RPing early in my sophomore year of high school on Gaia in a Naruto guild I made with a couple friends. It was... *sigh* a high school RP.
On my computer I found a message I wrote to a friend who had quite possibly the most bullshit Naruto OC I've seen to this day that didn't involve cat ears, a literal inner-demon or a Microsoft Paint recolor. ] 15-year-old Cylem People in the guild are getting pissed off at your Gary-Stu character, and as Leader, I'm the one they b***h to, so I'm writing you a character summary, just to give Sanshi a reasonable background.
(FYI, Gary-Stu is a male character that is impossibly perfect, strong, always wins, and predictable to the point of annoying.)
Don't deny it, you can't think of a way for Sanshi to ACTUALLY exist in the Naruto-verse as he is, so I'm here to remedy that. I'll make it breif and vague so you can fill in the blanks as you please.
Also, I didn't type up nearly as much as it looks.
Sanshi Uchiha
Prior Village Affiliation: Konohagakure
Ninja Ranking: Jounin-level
For Sanshi to be both blonde and not be dead, he could not be a full-blooded Uchiha. There could be a smaller branch of Uchiha living outside of Konohagakure. I say outside of Konoha because that would give the impression that they were not ninja, didn't use Sharingan and ultimately were not an issue for Itachi. There, Sanshi gets to live.
Now Sanshi obviously wants to be a ninja, so he looks up the larger Uchiha branch, studies Flame Jutsu, Sharingan, et cetra and learns his general skills.
He CANNOT be an actual ninja of Konoha, lest he be killed by Itachi. He cannot be discovered by anyone until later in life when he's strong enough to defend himself. Ninja-trained, yes. Registered ninja, no.
The Uchiha Massacre would happen when Sanshi was at a young age, so it would make sense for his family to keep him from entering Konohagakure, becoming a ninja and all that other fun, public stuff.
So Sanshi grew up isolated from most, among non-ninja while having naturally above-average ninja skills. This would easily cause him to have traditional Uchiha poor people skills AND be rather stuck-up.
Sanshi at age... Whatever, somewhere pre-timeskip, is obsessed with being a great ninja and becoming part of the Main Branch of the Uchiha family. Well, seeing as the Main Branch doesn't exactly exist at the moment, he wants to BECOME the Main Branch. Pretty much his goal can be to become the Leader of the New Uchiha Clan.
Everyone in the Narutoverse has a life-goal.... Except Shizune, because she sucks.
So Sanshi wants to take Sasuke's place as Heir to the Uchiha, which he can't very well do being of the lower branch. This makes Sasuke, who pre-timeskip doesn't even know of Sanshi's existance, a sort of one-sided rival of Sanshi's. This spurs Sanshi on to become stronger with Sharingan and other traditional Uchiha jutsu.
During the filler-arc I suppose, Sanshi is out training when he meets with several Chunin of Konoha. He explains his Uchiha heritage, but gets laughed at and ridiculed and overall not-believed. In a fit of rage, Sanshi kills them via awesome Uchiha-skills and takes one of their forehead protectors.
See? I managed to make him not an official ninja, but have a headband too. Plus I gave him multiple Chunin pwning skills at the age of thirteenish. You should be happy.
Well, it isn't long before Sanshi's family finds out about this and they freak out. First they were afraid of Itachi, now they've got ninja potentially coming after them. Can't get more public than newfound Uchihas killing people... Again. This is where Sanshi leaves home and sort of becomes a missing-nin. He'll at least call himself that despite not being a registered ninja, nor really missing.
Post time-skip, he's made a name for himself, though not to the extent of Itachi or Sasuke. He trains extremely hard to surpass both Uchiha brothers and gain his (supposedly) rightful place as Uchiha Heir. This is where he gets kidnapped recruited by the Red Dawn Academy.
~
A little better than Sanari's version, no? If there's anything you want to add, subtract, clarify, just tell me and I'll find a way to fit it in.
With my storyline, Sanshi has yet to make himself known to Sasuke, but by now is known by Itachi, who at the moment, apparently doesn't care. He probably wouldn't make an attempt on his life because it's what Leader Pein wishes. [ This was five years ago. I wish my characters of that era were half as colorful as everyone else's; stupidity be damned. I think Shuniji was made out of subconscious spite for my younger self. >:U
I also wish I was still this sassy. ]

So confession. All of my old roleplaying characters were secretly Jonouchi Katsuya/Joey Wheeler with a name swap. In one case I just swapped the eye color, and figured no one would ever know. Yeah, I was that guy.
Once I learned that it was actually impossible to invent new characters, I built myself an armada of white kids with wacky pseudo-Japanese names and even wackier hair. I remember I had one character that was African, and somehow was a pale, freckly redhead. Because ******** genetics.
And yet despite all of their unique and dazzling appearances, they were still all Joey Wheeler in disguise. Go me.

It was an Ancient Egypt roleplay. But now I officially need to recreate Mr.Fife as a character. Good idea.

Also, Yu-Gi-Oh is clearly the most accurate historical document outlining Ancient Egypt, so you're not far off.
