About
Hi, I am ZancunoI have been a Gaian since 2011
I am the Retired Leader and Founder of Lucario Armis though the Gaia branch is now retired. Lucario Armis lives on via Amino these days. Although lately Lucario Armis is slowly coming to a close on there.
I used to be an active member of the Pokemon Forum till around 2012, when I went on hiatus. I came back to Gaia sometimes around 2014 (maybe some logins in 2013) and saw the forum had changed to more of a constant battle, trade, and breeding request board. So it lost some spirit to me and I moved to communicating via guilds.
In 2014, I tried to revive the lucario community on Gaia based on a guild I saw that basically died out. I managed to run a revival guild on gaia for 2 years and moved it to amino for another 2 years (before amino got bad) before retiring.
I am a bit of a huge lurker to be honest, most of my Gaia experience is talking to friends or beta testing. Although I stop in frequently to Gaia so I am never gone for too long.
As for beta testing, I have been a member of SCAS (what we call the beta team) since 2015, I was initially brought in for Lake Kindred and have continued to test features for Gaia to reduce the number of bugs the public sees. Although I am under a NDA, so I cannot give you info on current projects or even some details of past projects. As of 2023, I am no longer in SCAS and am under 3 years of silence.
As time passes on though, my activity on the site has majorly decreased as I try to find someplace to fill the gap of the many friends I have lost on here simply due to leaving the site. My endeavors for lucario related activity have not stopped though as I have contributed info to bulbapedia regarding origins and draw art every once in a while. As well I am the Developer of the Lucario Race mod on Starbound, so if you have that game, go check it out.
I am rather picky with my friends to be honest, since I have lost so many without reason most times as they left the site. Although it doesn't help that I am introverted. If you feel like talking to me, reach out in a public forum or send a PM at least first. Getting a random friend request for no reason scares me with PMs being scary as well but a bit less. Having some communication in public helps me know whether to be scared to talk or not.
Although if you have read to this point then that might mean some interest in who I am. You may have recognized my female look on a male avatar, and I can say that is on purpose. My gender is undefined and I prefer a female look. So the confusion is on purpose.
As well, yes my looks are derived from a lucario who has grown away over time. Although the fire that comes from my eyes has never changed. I've been Gaia's flaming lucario since 2012 and seeing that Gaia helped me find this identity, I don't intend to just shrug away my past.
As of this edit, I am drifting away from Gaia Online and will be leaving this account up for archive or if someone eventually reaches out to find me. I may move on from Gaia entirely. Thank you for the years Gaia, the friends I cherish, hope one day restoring this site will pay off or the staff don't have to go broke from debt when it shuts down.

It's always good to hear form you Zan, I've been struggling a lot with my mental health lately. Had to cut off some people who were slowly posioning me but when you love someone its not always as straight forward as cutting ties, your heart needs time to recover as does your brain and neither or are ready for those steps so I've just been struggling a bit more with my depression. It's like I've got a hole in my heart, and I'm missing someone I used to have a crush on who is really worthless but.
Trying to advance is difficult. Especially when you know you need to put the effort to move on.
Sorry I didn't drop a hello last time I logged on its been ages since I was last on Gaia. How are you faring?
It was more like my drawpad broke. I intend to start up online art again, just acquisition taking longer than it should

Put it into perspective, i've had at least 200 cyberstalkers, been catalked to about 600+ times roughly, been struck by bots, people claiming they will be my sugar daddy etc etc
I can beyond handle and tackle it. I won't take it. Got my own life and s**t, couldn't make any time for creepers. Been there got the tshirt,s ee ya.
I'm ace for sure. not bothered about having a partner though who wants to experiment just don't expect it of me all the time. thats what puts me off dating. I can't do bestie in your face energy I can't do grabby grabby for oa long list of reasons.
Ace. Yeah We''ll call it that.
Got my best mates phone number today he's also like, purging facebook with me. Not sure his reasons. I have an addiction I need to fix. Plus if I pull away from social media then it makes it harder for my attacker to cyberstalk so everything will eventually even out for me as it usually does.
I love being able to blare ed sheeran without someone telling me to turn that noise off, shut my mouth, stay down, you listen to crap stressed heart bye bye those days.
I don't even play games that much anymore I've gone full blown down the music route.
