About Kaos187_ & the Community
The story begins with Me & my Wife, CindyLu979, Living in East Texas. We Evacuated 3 times in 2005 due to Hurricanes and Ended up in San Antonio. The Atmosphere & Culture was inviting and rich. Sadly it was the passing of Cindy's mother in 2008, that led us to make a decision to actually move to San Antonio. Once in SA-TX, we thrived. Success led to my first PS4 & I started my journey into Gaming as LaYz1. While working Security I moved from one Post to another, to get more pay and more hours. I met Karnage187 around 2010 and over time He went from my Supervisor to my Best Friend. Our friendship was focused on Comics, Movies and Books. Introducing to the world of Mel Brooks, Assassination Classroom, Bleach, Marvel which led into games and then it began....
This is the Story or Lore of The Kaos187_ and The Incarnations:
In 2015, Karnage introduced me to Call of Duty & Destiny 1. It all started with The Taken King! He Introduced me to Co-Op Gaming all while building out friendship. It was at this time I felt it was time to move away from LaYz1 and move to a new era of myself. As my Best Friend, I decided I would bring CHAOS to his Carnage and the Karnage187/Kaos187 Team was born. We waited for Destiny 2 to release and from day 1, we joined arms to Create a guild, with me leading the way.
I've never felt it to be right to be top dog so I knew I wanted a council. I've always been obsessed with Day of the Dead and Reapers and while working together I had discovered a series called The Incarnations of Immortality by Piers Anthony. I introduced Karnage to this and we both agreed, the idea of having Office Holders was the way to go.
This Birthed "The Incarnations". We also were obsessed with Supernatural at the time and we wanted the 4 horsemen to be a part of our Council, so we quickly needed to fill our other 2 seats. While playing in the Tower, we came across TripM21, we fooled around and he would emote back and we somehow kept on matchmaking together and then we finally started talking outside of the guild, so we invited him and he grew to be our 3rd Reaper. I knew I needed to bring in one of my other Best Friends, KingJam, who went by his name XGC_Noble and he filled our 4th Seat.
As time Progressed we would meet new people and bring them into our Guild. One of which was TylerLift. During a Christmas event, Karnage and I ran around throwing snowballs at everybody and Tylerlift was the only player to actually interact with us. He followed us around and threw snowballs right back at us. We then went to the hangar and played soccer together. We invited him to a party chat and our friendship was born as well. Later, KingNoble Stepped down from his Office and we Promoted TylerLift into his Office.
All of us still play games together, we all do our own things, play our own style of games, but we will always be Brothers! We have always strived to Provide a community where everyone feels comfortable to be themselves. We didn't want people who felt they were above others, we wanted a community that was willing to help teach from the slowest to the fastest, we always helped when it was needed. Years of running Dungeons and Raids helped me decide on what I wanted to build as a Community of my own.
I had a Logo Made that Represented each of us 4 Horsemen,
War (Me), Pestilence (Noble/LuciferJuice), Death (Karnage) and Famine (TripM).
Karnage and I OFTEN would say we named our horses. Karnage had the bright Idea of naming his Havoc and so I named my horse Mayhem.
The Start of Community Building
Moving on to NOW:
Developing an Amazing Guild, led me to want to do more. TripM21 was the first to bring up streaming, we started our journey Together. He introduced me to Many people, including JayhonnsGaming. It was with Jayhonn that ThaGamingDynasty was born. We all wanted to stream on TikTok and we joined an Agency who promised us many things called Greenwood. I was offered a small amount of $$ to recruit other gamers the way I seen fit. Problem was, There were too many streamers that had doubts and too many that often gave up or didn't stream enough and some who only cared about themselves. We wanted to bring in LikeMinded individuals who would Valued Community, Teamwork, Friendship and Equality. We didn't want to bring in people who would constantly be banned, who couldn't control their language and opinions and were just plain unprofessional. Greenwood didn't give us anything, but had alot to say about who I recruited and why it was taking me so long to recruit. They didn't care about how long it took to educate myself or others on how to stream and often said a Streamkey was needed and an Agency was the only way to get that streamkey. So due to creative differences, we ALL left Greenwood.
It was this Freeing event that led to the real birth of the Community. I learned to stream on TikTok without a streamkey and started to teach others. I took the Discord I created while in Greenwood and made it our own. It was this community who educated me on Games with Great stories like Kingdom Hearts, Zelda and more importantly, Final Fantasy. During this time, Creative differences and Life led me to focus on building on my own community, I decided it was time to leave ThaGamingDynasty.
The Reapers
People come back to watch you for 2 reasons, Because you are Entertaining or Educational. This is advice given by MANY people. So, I tried Developing my own "Show". I began Streaming Every Morning, Zelda, Final Fantasy 7 and Kingdom Hearts. Now I have a list of games to play with great stories, that I will play over time. I also have grown an Amazing community who supports me. I ran into problems with the name Kaos187 and had to add the Underscore BUT in doing so I came up with the catchphrase, "Always with the underscore, because I am Always for the underdog. I have always felt different then others, always felt a connected to the "weird". I was bullied myself as a kid and stood up for myself once and gained respect from those bullies. So I grew a sense of Protection and have always protected the weak. I want to provide a community that everybody feels welcome, that everybody feels they can be themselves. I also want people to know that no matter what is happening in their lives, I personally pour my heart into this community and will always be here for them.
I have come across some AMAZING people in building this community. People who believe we should Love and Help one another when we can, in whatever way we can. One of these such people is SonaUrada. Sona is an Artist (A WONDERFUL one at that!). She has her own community that strives to teach each other and come together as artist to help others with their needs. She has helped others in the community with Logos, Overlays and commissions for memorials at great rates. She has also spread that wealth to others in her Community and has agreed to be our connection to art. Any new friends of ours in need of Graphics, we will always recommend Sona and her Community!
