I am really sorry I have to do this, but it is long overdue.
My name doesn't matter, but those who know me and will read this - know me.
I met person A in the summer of last year. Nothing seemed wrong. We got along and a friendship bloomed afterwards. Things went well, despite of having people reaching out to me, telling me to be careful because person A wasn't who they pretended they were. I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt, for various reasons: they were my friend, people tend to exaggerate, someone else's issues and dramas weren't mine to deal with.
And things went good for a while, but everything changed in December of last year. Under false pretenses, A told me they wanted to join the same group I was in, because they missed roleplaying with me (they never made an effort whenever we were writing together to begin with). I had a feeling it wasn't a good idea, but I decided to keep my mouth shut and welcome them there, despite my gut feeling. And, it turns out I was right. After they joined, things went downhill. I won't get too much into details here, out of respect for my friend, and leaving things in the past for the sake of it. However, things changed after that. I couldn't stand seeing how they were talking and scheming behind my friend's back, so I went out of my way to expose them - even if I was risking to put myself in a bad light. A didn't seem too fond of the fact that I refused to pity them and I was straightforward in character, and told them to move on. They took it on a personal level.
After they left the group (it no longer exist), they started spreading rumors about how they were "bullied" in said place by me and my friends. It couldn't be more false than this. Nobody knew what was going on, but those who deserved to know the truth. They didn't even speak to me, so how could I or my friends bully them to begin with? (And I have screenshots to back it up).
Me and my friends moved on after that, but someone didn't seem to let go of their obsession. There were two instances person A joined wherever we were and tried to get close to us, acting like they didn't know us, pretending they weren't the same person who started rumors about us. We found out who they were rather fast, but we played along to see how far they would take it.
Now, we are entering present times. When I thought things couldn't get worse, but somehow they did. It has come to my attention that after they deleted me from discord, they changed their tag and made it look eerily similar to mine (screenshots will be provided below). It made me uncomfortable, but I had no way of contacting them and asking them to stop. In last instance, as an ultimate measure of despair, I messaged one of their RP accounts, asking them to stop the whole madness, and to change their Discord tag because it looked like mine and it was obvious what they were doing.
Thinking it will stop there, I didn't pay much attention to it anymore. A couple of days after, I joined a place (and I am once again thankful for the admin team) and I couldn't believe my eyes what I saw. It all started to my Discord tag, then they had an account of the same character I main, copying my older username and profile description, etc. I contacted the admin team right away and I told them the person was plagiarizing my work. They sent them a warning and if they didn't change things they would have gotten blacklisted. I don't know what their reaction to that was, because the admins allowed me to block person A. However, I was really uncomfortable with the whole situation, so my activity decreased in the following days until I went completely inactive. Three weeks ago, I was told that A was blacklisted in the directory for plagiarizing and running secret accounts.
For the first time, I felt like justice was served, and maybe A will learn from this. Oh, boy. Today, I received messages from a friend asking me if I was in this particular roleplay, and attached screenshots. While this time, they didn't copy me word for word, they're still writing in a way that creates confusion and makes people believe it's me.
I find it annoying, disrespectful, not to mention weird and creepy. It's giving obsession. Person A is smart enough to come up with different formats to make it their brand, but they continue to do this.
And I won't shut up. I won't stop. You'll get tired of me. If you keep doing it, I will expose you every single time.
I hate I have to stoop so low, but you made me do it. You're not a good person and I wish you to get the things you deserve in life.

These are from the account I reported in the directory.

And these are my accounts with things they copied from me, down to format

I asked a friend about how person A was acting, because I was scared they wanted to tarnish my and my muse's reputation

**NOTE: After reporting them to the admins, they were starting to act really hostile towards some people. I don't know and I don't have proof about whether it was related or not.

And last, but not least, today's screenshot:

One can argue and say that the last one has nothing to do with me, because technically they stole little to nothing nothing from me, and for the most part I agree.. But if it comes down to friends messaging me to ask whether or not this was my account, it's still telling.
I want people to understand this goes beyond K-POP roleplay and matters of who did it first. Stealing is not and will never be okay, but this is about the obsessive behavior a person shows towards someone else. Do you want to make a nickname your whole personality? Go for it.
This is about someone who was blacklisted for secret double accounts when many directories allow more than one character per head. I really hope you will find peace and you will stop with your obsession, because it is not healthy for you and for those around you.
And last but not least, if you've ever dealt (or are currently dealing) with something similar, my DMs are always open. Know that you are not alone.
