IBoxForUSPostal

iBoxForUSPostal is a businessman at heart. He has tested his ability to be an advisor for quickly growing nations. To which he did successfully. But, the art of marketing, salesmanship, and the acquisition of currency was what he was truly interested in. Being the person people looked to when things needed to get done is what he enjoyed most. The Capitalist's Market was a shining example of who iBoxForUSPostal strived to be. Philanthropy, investing, and selling products were things he excelled in.

Early Life
iBoxForUSPostal was born in the north. When he was born, his parents dropped him off at the doorstep of a rundown cottage. Postal never found out why. The elderly family at the cottage found him and placed him in foster care. Postal was moved from home to home for the first three years of his life. He finally found a home when he was merely three years old. A couple, who were successful business owners, put Postal to work immediately. Postal didn't have the mind for business quite yet, but was quite proficient in his motor skills. The couple placed an iron pickaxe in his hand and he got to work.

In the mines, Postal dug to survive. If he didn't mine, he didn't have a home. It started off easy. Only eight-hour days. Eight turned to ten, then ten turned to twelve. Postal made twenty-thousand dollars with an iron pickaxe alone. But, even this was not enough.

On Postal's fourth birthday, the couple gave him books discussing businesses and success. This was the best gift Postal had ever received. The last remaining hours of his day were spent nose-deep in business texts. It was an endless cycle of mining, reading, and sleeping. Until one day, while Postal mined, he dropped dead. His body gave way to the intense labor and essentially dug his own grave.

His body was dead, but his mind was awake. Twenty years later, Postal stood up from where he fell. Nobody bothered to go look for him. And arose as an Undead. How he rose from the dead is unknown. He walked away from the mine and wandered north to find a new home.

New Home
Postal roamed the north, until finally finding a nation. He landed in Mithra and coincidentally found himself growing up during The Kingdom of Mithra's meteoric rise. Postal still lacked the context of how much time had passed, but he knew none of this was here when he fell. He got situated in a temporary home in the nation's capital, Meteora.

Quick adapting was necessary, due to the war-path nature of that nation. There was a lot to do and not enough people to maintain it all. Even in a thriving nation, there was a constant presence of greed amongst the richest there. To iBoxForUSPostal (Postal), this held the nation back. Early on, Postal vowed to never hoard cash, especially if someone needed it. He carries this sentiment to this day.

It is also important to note that he was a huge fan of Auction House. The removal of Auction House irrefutably destroyed his cash flow.

The Gift of Giving
As Postal progressed through the ranks of Mithra, he formulated his own optimized strategy for mining. He researched the remaining ore distribution, as well as mathematics to maximize profits. And that was before he discovered Haste V potions. To this day, Postal has accumulated $4.2 million in revenue (updated: 9/7/22) from his mining expeditions. Some may ask, "So what?" Despite unimaginable wealth in such a short amount of time, Postal has never had a balance of over $1 million (until 8/17/22).

Mining was not Postal's only source of income, however. He wrote and sold lore books in libraries across Rathnir. He bought products for low prices, and resold them at higher prices. He also set up shops in the local towns around Mithra.

Postal's standpoint on business endeavors, is that he will be generous to a certain extent and with a certain confidence. He never invested in a product that was backed by an unreliable source. Evidence of a successful event, campaign, or product sales was always a necessity for him to accept a deal. Postal always looked for how his money would be best spent. For example, in Mithra, the military was its most necessary component. Not often would Mithra go without fighting in some war. Postal invested over $450 thousand in military aid. All war efforts Postal funded were successful. In exchange, Postal gained leverage in the government, and now had a say in the way things worked. This is the gift of giving. It is also the dance of currency. "'If you find yourself lucky enough to be in the position to fulfill someone's request for money, you wield unbelievable leverage.'"

Logical Leadership
Due to an abundance of funding, Postal paid-to-win in his rise in the government. At first, he was the guild master for the miner's guild in Meteora. He was eventually promoted to the nation's Master of Coin. Then, he received a final promotion to become Hand of the King. All the while being five years old now. Postal brought a business mindset into the world of politics. Which, arguably, is not the best approach. It focused on a hyper-logical view of how issues should be handled, regardless of emotion. When there was a problem, there was always a solution, but was always avoided due to people's emotions."'So what if people pray at that temple? If it's an eyesore, tear it down and pay them.'"Postal's attention, during his position as Hand of the King, was focused mainly on Alamayn. Especially during the Coup of Bag and Bee during The Alamayni Independence War. Postal's position as Hand of the King would be short-lived, however. Soon after these events, the king at the time, J2DA resigned. After the title of King fell down the ladder, the individual who eventually held the crown had no regard for Postal's past contributions and was relieved of all his government titles.

The Blood of a Kraken
Having wasted over half a million dollars in Mithra, Postal's primary objective was currency. He discovered the existence of Haste V potions soon before he lost his position as Hand of the King. His eyes were set on a singular brand of Haste V potions named Kraken's Blood. Postal invested hundreds of thousands in acquiring as much as he could.

With the speed of Haste V, Postal acquired ores on an astronomical scale. His efforts were unyielding, unshaken, and unforgiving. Pain racked his chest while under the effects of Kraken's Blood. The pain turned unbearable. So, Postal took his pickaxe, split open his chest, and removed his heart. Though still attached to arteries, the heart was unbeating. Yet, he continued mining.

Capitalist's Market
Postal had acquired a small fortune. With it, he built the foundation of a new business named The Capitalist Market. Postal and his team created a platform for easy trade, as well as business opportunities for starters. This spawned investment deals, philanthropy endeavors, and expensive giveaways. This business amassed a large audience, including the notable StoneyStoner. This business spread throughout Rathnir and Eldham like wildfire.

Unfortunately, this was short-lived. Being that this was his first business, there were many flaws with its design. It was intended to emulate the since removed, Auction House, but fell short on a multitude of aspects.

The final act of the business was a Christmas giveaway, where one lucky winner won a one-of-a-kind, maxed-out Netherite Sword.

The Potential Final New Beginning
Postal is nothing without his flaws. After erasing the remnants of the failed The Capitalist's Market and being removed from his home, Marquet, Postal took a hiatus. He would return after a little more than half a year later. He was lost and only had $37k to his name. He reached out to the realm of Rathnir to find a new home, and his call was answered. Answered by the Knights of Silkovia, Najer.

Goldwyn, the leader of the Knights and the leader of the city, gave Postal a plot of land and a portion of his castle. Postal is now building the foundation for a new business, as well as mass-producing his Haste V potion recipe.

The Fruits of Labor
Postal is no stranger to hard work. With the foundation Silkovia gave him, he launched himself back into mining and business immediately. Within the span of two weeks, Postal acquired over $2 million in profits.

With this money, Postal has funded a multitude of northern projects, not exclusive to Najer. He built a large-scale facility to mass-produce his Haste V potions called Postal's Resolve. And lastly, spent $775 thousand constructing one of the largest arenas in the world (Designed by: Alpha Kaerfels). Which was aptly named the Silkovian Amphitheatre.
