KidArcStorm

KidArcStorm is one of the Egg PAC's staff members, specifically specializing in working on the Booru. Your residential tagging expert and local server mom.

Artist Background/Bio
KidArcStorm is a long time fan of TRG and those within the TRG circle since the early days, first discovering them through Chuggaaconroy's LP of Super Mario Sunshine and shortly afterwards discovering the aforementioned collab channel. They were a regular TRG YouTube viewer for a while, branching out to different members, until early 2017 when they first discovered ProtonJon streamed on Twitch. They started out as a simple watcher/community member until much later when they started interacting in the community.

They became much more active in the community once the Egg PAC formed in late 2019, finding a place suited for them as an artist and wanting to interact with others who shared a similar skill level. Enjoying their time in the community and meeting new friends, they became more proactive in the community one summer day in 2020 when the first call for tagging on the ProtonBooru was made. Since then, they had made it their sole decision to continue their tagging efforts beyond what was expected and continue forward on their own accord. Due to their commitment and organization of Booru tags, they were brought on as one of the Egg PAC's staff as of early 2021. Since then, they've been dedicating their efforts to help improve the experience of the Booru for others and integrating more methods for better organization.

In present day, KidArc is a friendly and approachable staff member in the Egg PAC. They are always willing to lend an ear and a hand to those who need it, and they're always available to hang out with others. They're a traditional artist primarily, working on a variety of art pieces for the Booru and for several other usages, personal or general. You'll maybe see them get up to shenanigans with the other staff or members...or (most likely) the one cleaning up after everyone else's messes and having to then act as an actual mom ('cause that's how the balancing act of responsibility works). But outside of such, they do enjoy a variety of games and series, ranging from tactics games such as Fire Emblem, all the way towards crazy intense genres within the Touhou franchise, and even more.

Rosalind Gardenia (Stand-In Character)
Rosalind is the stand-in character for KidArcStorm whenever it comes to community events, including themselves in shenanigans with others or simply within Jonaverse-related stuff. Despite being used as a persona, they are their own character at the end of the day; a cheery and open individual who can sometimes get quickly overloaded emotionally at times. Nevertheless, she is very caring for those she cares for. They have a love for flora and enjoy nature, sometimes partaking in gardening when time allows. She tries to remain dedicated to any task at hand, even if it's not something she's accustomed to. When her responsibilities takes a toll on her, she tends to somewhat forget that she doesn't have take on everything at once just for the sake of it and for others. She has unique powers involving a kind of magic that allows her to manipulate the life force of not only herself but of other entities around her. Though, she takes great of it as she prefers to help bolster others with her power rather than use it for harm. She has appeared in several community art posts and events up to this day. She currently works for the BVA, specializing in retaining the archives and ensuring that shenanigans don't end up creating a mess (....well, reducing the severity of said messes, at least).

Entering the Jonaverse
Similar to many, Rosalind first entered the Jonaverse after being pulled in through a glitch in reality. The glitch in reality ended up pulling a version of herself from her own world/universe. Overwhelmed by the wonders of a new and strange world, it would take her a while to adjust before finding her place at the BVA, where seemingly many different and interesting individuals would stay at. At the BVA, she would eventually become acquainted with them, some of which would become her close friends, thus finding her place in this strange world.

Booru-Voodoo Curse
Curses are an abnormal occurrence that happens to many in the Jonaverse, Rosalind wasn't an exception when soon learning the weird affliction of this 'curse' would also apply to her. Surprising to her, Rosalind's Booru-Voodoo came in the form of applying graffiti in the form of words or onomatopoeia with the touch of her hands on anything. Objects, labels... you name it. Whatever she could feasibly touch would magically be stamped with a graffiti-style word or sentence of whatever she thought of; the perfect curse for helping organize the archives within the BVA as she was able to sort files significantly easier. After acquiring this curse, she became the head of the archives within the tower and began her new work with this newfound power that this world has given her.

Battle for the Booru
During the events of Battle for the Booru, Rosalind could only do so much from the supporting side with her powers as a non-fighter. When the BVA tower was under siege, she decided to take action and do something within her power to help protect others. With the help of some friends, she performed a ritual to help shield the tower from the further harm by harnessing her own life force into a barrier that covered the tower's proximate area. Gotta show off that "mom" energy when protecting others.
