Why I Joined - Syruss of Neden

Lots of players in our game are part of nations. This series gives them a chance to talk about why they decided to join and what it means to them. If you would like to talk about why you joined your nation, please fill out this form

Who are you? (IC and/or OOC)
Demon Lord Sir Syruss O'Leary OOC Cal Marsden
 
What nation are you in?
I am the current leader of Neden
 
How long have you been a member?
It feels like my whole life. But I was a member of Grimloch from 2004 to 2012 when I joined Neden
 
Why did you join this nation?
To help my Brother Nymbous O'Leary re-brand and re-work the Nation to the group of rascals we have today. We had a formula and vision of being a more lighthearted group that prioritized uplifting moments for others. 
 
What sets your nation apart from others?
Our Cheeky Light Hearted demeanor. We also probably have more demons than anyone. we also pride ourselves on our weapons and props that we use for prizes at events.
 
What makes you proud to wear your nation’s colors?
To know where the nation was to where it went during my tenure. I am very proud of our props, funny story telling, our world building and most of all the OOC bonds we have all made.
 
What’s the most powerful moment you’ve experienced as a member of your nation?
Transitioning from the number 2 to the Lord of the nation. I had figured being the lord of a nation at the point was not in my cards. It was easy being the ideas guy with someone spearheading the projects I wasn't sure I was up to fill those shoes....I hope I did OK.
 
How does your nation help you become the person you want to be?
It helped me work with different people with different view points and goals and honestly the early stuff probably laid the background for me getting my masters in Psychology and Counseling. But I now have an impeccable ability to wrangle cats without a laser pointer.
 
What should someone do if they want to join?
Give me a high five and tell me why they are interested. We would need to make sure it is a mutual fit.
 
Anything else you'd like to say about your nation?
I am thank for everyone past and present that have worn the Green and Black. We are currently working on being more of a presence and back to throwing regular events so stay tuned for more of the Marvelous Neden Crew 

Neden for Life
