History
SonicVaan originally joined the Sonic Retro forums in late 2007 under the alias EGGMAN. This would be short-lived, however, as he found himself banned by Scarred Sun for bad English and poorly-structured, rather nonsensical posts.
When Tweaker "discontinued" Sonic Megamix, he found himself rather irritated. This led him to make several videos of a beta of the discontinued hack. At SSRG he tried to make a hack called Qjimbo in Sonic 1, where Dr. Robotnik is supposed to be Tweaker. This hack eventually faded into obscurity due to its poor execution and rather juvenile basis in creation.
He started to create a hack called Sonic 1 SSRG, which is based on several facets of the Sonic Stuff Research Group community. Besides that he works on a hack called Sonic 1: The Special Stages. Those hacks got some good feedback.
Today
SonicVaan is currently working on two projects: Sonic 1 SSRG and Sonic 1: The Special Stages. He's trying to do his best at ASM stuff and he's going to learn how the Sonic the Hedgehog 1 engine works. Other than that, he's helping out on other projects--some are secret, some not.
Real Life
He does have a lot of problems and stress and he does say he has the worst life ever. Sometimes he has suicide minds and he's called by others an "emo". At 2009's april holidays he managed to get outside. Otherwise SonicVaan visits regulary his girlfriend and going through the day eachother.
