Flashback to 2013. Young Huntsman, maybe 12-13 years old, being desperate and annoyed as he keeps getting rejected or fired from most of ARPD departments because he is immature and has attitude issues. He dreams big, and wants to become an important ARPD figure, yet, his too young, and his attitude gets in the way. Being a Chief of Police a distant dream that he always cherished, but never believed to once achieve.
I cannot remember how many times I’ve been fired from SAPD. I was even fired from VCPD twice and had an application ban that was not set to expire. “Some people need to piss on an electric fence to learn a lesson, and I don’t think that’d even be enough for Huntsman” - a quote from a prominent former VCPD figure.
Things changed, I grew, I matured. I finally made it to VCPD Officer and then to Senior Officer. Unfortunately (or fotunately?), life was becoming too tense with school exams coming up and my plans to join the military, so I left Argonath to focus on my studies. In the end, I graduated school with quite good exam scores and enlisted in the military for the basic nine month service.
Fast forward to summer of 2017. I was now fresh out of the military, changed, matured, grown up. I’ve decided to see how Argonath’s doing, and asked for a reinstatement for VCPD. I didn’t expect it to become big. I simply joined to have something to do to kill time, assuming I will have plenty in University. Oh boy, was I wrong.
I came in a fortunate time to build a career - the department was having issues that I knew how to solve. So I did, which got me climbing ranks quickly. Two months and I was Sergeant, few more months and I was Captain. Before I even knew it, I was already FBI Director and soon enough - VCPD Chief. And then I understood that this isn’t some sort of “wonderful position” that most officers imagine it is to have. Ever since I became Captain, I already acted as de-facto chief due to the chief at the time not being the most active. I found out just how much of a responsibility a command position is. You were looked up to, expect to know all the answers and blamed by the community if something went wrong with VCPD. But I loved it. I loved knowing that I can make VCPD better than ever before, and go into its history as the one who completely reshaped the department. I think I have achieved what I wanted.
However, I’ve been facing some health issues that have turned out to not be serious, but that could easily change if I didn’t change something about my life. My doctor told me that I needed to subject my self to less stress, become physically active again and overall change some habits of mine. A change of path that unfortunately, VCPD simply does not fit in.
I served VCPD during the little free-time that I had, because I have quite an intense life rhythm in the university, seeing how I also need to work to support myself. While first term was easy and I could slack through it, the second term is already much more difficult and I am being subjected to lots of stress. I need to keep up with certain grades to maintain my government scholarship that I cannot afford loosing, so I need to focus on studying more. As already said, the stress and the general unhealthy lifestyle I’ve been leading has caused some health problems that thankfully were a mere warning sign of things to come if I do not do something about it.
There are also other things in my life that I’m not satisfied with and want to change. I want to, for once, focus on myself, on what I want.
That isn’t the only reason, however. I’ve been loosing motivation for quite some time now and have been wanting to do this quite a long time ago, but was still stuck in indecisiveness. Now I’ve just received the reason to do it. It’s not that something’s wrong, or something regarding VCPD happened that got me annoyed or dissatisfied. It’s just that over time certain things loose the thrill it once gave you, especially when you achieved the very top and no longer have anywhere to progress.
Why do I not simply step down to a lower rank? Because I know how I am. I will still feel the need and obligation to get involved. If I want to quit something, I need to quit it cold turkey. I’ve found other methods ineffective.
VCPD is great. I loved every minute of my being here. I think that VCPD is the perfect example of what an ARPD department should be, and the VCMP community is the perfect example of what Argonath should be. We had ups and downs, but thanks to dedicated, smart and loyal people, we’ve managed to tackle most problems that we’ve encountered.
I’d like to give a special thanks to Deputy Chief DaniGold and Sergeant =TRC=Sevrin. These officers were by my side at our best and our worst, and never did I have a single doubt that they wouldn’t be. I believe that they will be able to continue what we’ve strived VCPD to become. I must also thank Kessu and Hype, who’ve always been there for me, who’ve listened to my rants and breakdowns when I was lost and ready to give up and provided me with some reasonable thought.
I will not disappear. I will still be around to some extent. Whenever I feel like I’ve got some excessive time on my hands, I’ll surely jump in. You’ll mostly see me as civilian doing stunts or trucking to kill boredom. I want a game to be something that I kill excessive time in, relax and enjoy myself, rather than be worried and stressed, feelings that come with this position if you take it seriously enough.
I do not want people to be sad, discouraged because of this, or to try and talk me out of it. I think my contributions deserve some gratitude, and in return I want exactly that. By asking me to stay you’ll not be doing a favor to me, you’ll be preventing me from doing what’s necessary. I’ve grown out of it, I now have more important things to worry about. You’ll understand when the time comes.
Deputy Chief DaniGold will now be taking over my position as Chief. This man has, in short notice, proven that he has what it takes and understood my vision of what VCPD should be. There has hardly been any matter in which our opinions differed. I feel content that I leave VCPD in good hands.
Thank you everyone for some really great time, and for the opportunity. Best of luck and see you around.
As my last act as Chief of Police, I hereby relieve myself of my position in the VCPD.
Good luck Huntsman in your life, don’t forget to come sometimes 
good luck in your life, we will keep in touch with you
