The first days as a god of death

The 1st chronicle

Fuck this. Those were my thoughts as I began my mining career, Fuck this! I had just started Eve-online, now that I look back, I was a noob, a carebear, a miner (the most damning word of all). I had started EVE after my friend had showed it to me, just to pass the time. I had started mining because it was easy, and I hoped to make some good money off it. I never realized how boring it would be. So then I tried some missioning on my mining character (the name is confidential), that was tough because I was trying level 4 missions, in a destroyer with all my friends, they kept me well repped, but I still didn't know what I was doing. It was fun, but I had never tried PVP in EVE at that point. Everything was about to change. After a while of training my miner for combat, I realized it would be easier to start a new character, a fighting character. I made one, didn't like him, threw him away, made another and liked him. I remember my exact thoughts then, I'll name him after the Egyptian gods of death, Osiris and Anubis, at that point I thought I was gonna become a mission runner,  so I thought even though those are cool names, they don't apply to me... man was I wrong! So I get on my new character and do some little level 1 missions to get started, and watch the recruit channels, and advertise myself. I was looking for a fun way to make money, again I was stuck on the money idea in this game, I should have been playing for fun, but in all the other games I have ever played, money is life. Less so in eve. I was looking through the babel of recruitment spiels, when I saw one that got me a little excited. This one was from a rezell, and about becoming a pirate. Unlike any other, he didn't spam it or repeat it. He sent it once, and that was it. I was intrigued, even though I don't remember the exact post, it was something about taking on apprentices, and to message him. Like the carebear i was, I immediately tried to convo him, rejected. Then I read his message again and read the part about auto-rejecting convos... NOOB! I sent him a message, and he replied to me, man at this point I was sweating so bad, I was talking to a pirate, A PIRATE! I was still a carebear at that point and this was my first encounter with one, I had head about them before this, but never had been bothered by one. He sent me this cryptic message about bringing mods to a place called Basgerin, and he would start my training. I talked to a friend and he didn't know what rezell meant at that point, I though he meant mods as in rigs, and I couldn't use those. I was confused and thought I should ask questions, but then thought maybe it was a test, I didn't know what was up. So I was invited into a pirate channel, and started asking questions (while making a terrible setup for a ship). A guy in the channel told me I would have to 1v1 a much older player, this was Meskalin, and he was kidding. So I got my horrible setup together (not even equipped on the ship yet) and started on my journey to Basgerin in my Celestis. On the way there, I was auto-piloting and had walked up to my computer to check on it, and as it turned out I was in low-sec getting blown up... fuck my life. Well like the carebear I was, I cussed out the guy and then joined his corp channel, and cussed out him corp CEO and the entire corp as well, fun times. I never really apologized for that, so this counts as one in my book: my bad. So I kept on my way, shipless and pissed, not realizing this was exactly what I would be doing in the future.
