Early Days
Osmose first came to Charas after being disillusioned from programming due to a series of incidents at another game making site. He saw that Charas focused on spriting, and decided that he would practice his spriting skills for a while on the site. Most of his work during this period was not that great, although he did create much of the content for the FF5 style of battlecharas.
A Chance Meeting
Then-Requests-Moderator, Sai'Kar, created a thread offering to do a single battlechara, as he had stopped making them for awhile, and was quite famous in the community for his skill. By a stroke of luck, Osmose was the first to reply to the offer, and began a chain of private messages specifying what he wanted in the battlechara. To make things easier, they switched over to instant messager communication. This switch eventually led to a friendship which would later help Osmose attempt to sway forum policy and eventually aid in his attaining a moderator position.
Feud with Carmen
Around December 2004, Osmose began to make posts complaining about the then-moderator of All of All, Carmen. He accused her of locking threads unfairly, deleting posts, and brushing off any criticism without taking it into consideration. Although his efforts were not successful in rallying support against her, he would continue to hold the grudge and try to accuse her of being a bad moderator up until her demotion and afterwards.
2005
2005 was an eventful year, that saw not many changes in Osmose himself, but rather the things he did. He was a major participant in the Rendersa RP in Forum Gaming, he created a webcomic based on forum events and the ridiculousness of some members, he created an issue of the dormant Charas Magazine Project in an attempt to revive it, and was one of the most outspoken members against Lord Raffles (although since the first incident he has taken on a policy of ignorance, refusing to post to or about him or anyone associated with him).
