Joms Seffius

Jommerson Seffius (Jommerson), or Joms for short, was born on June 17th in Avaricia, Rendinum. He was the founder of Avaricia and a member of the small remaining diaspora resulting from the fall of the Republic of Rendinum. The majority of his days were spent in the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire where he held office as Senator for one term and assisted in the construction of the Quincy Gotterpalast. Though he still maintains sentimentality for his homeland, he’s found a comfy niche in the A.W.E.

Physiology
Despite having Enderman ancestry, being 1/8th Enderman, Jommerson bears little to no resemblance to his predecessors despite the ability to uncontrollably teleport whenever he is anxious or tired. After a while in the A.W.E, however, he found that annoying quirk had mysteriously vanished altogether. He has teal hair, green eyes, and light skin. He’s commonly seen with a wreath donned on his head, a white tunic, a black cape, blue cotton pants, and black leather boots.

Personality
Jommerson is opportunistic, and despite usually meaning well, may occasionally get carried away with his ambitious endeavors at the cost of others. He is a socialite, and enjoys meeting random people at random events, as well as sticking his nose where it might not belong. On the other hand, he is also very hard working and has little qualms about doing things for friends. Above all else, he is a sentimentalist, and this is his main drive behind his efforts to preserve the histories of himself and of his friends.

Origins
Joms was born to a single mother named Ender Rose Seffius on an agave farm in the northern desert of the Republic of Rendinum, where he was raised with his sister, Dahlion. In spite of his humble upbringing, Joms always dreamed of things bigger than harvesting cacti. During his youth, the political plain of early Eldham was plagued with disputes over land and petty wars brought on by imperialists. Surrounded by political strife, he wanted to see how economic power would measure against land-seeking zealots.

Jommerson quickly sought to reform the rural landscape into a city for hedonists and merchants alike to frequent. With the stragglers he recruited he transformed the desert into a proper tourist destination in just a few years, building condos and revolutionizing agriculture in Rendinum by constructing a skyscraper soaring over one hundred blocks with a floor for each growable item in the game. This building would go on to be the tallest building in the republic, and the second tallest in Ravenguard.

Republic of Rendinum
At the age of 5, Joms would see a sudden unification of the three tribes that surrounded the ranch. This unification would be dubbed Rendinum and would be lead by the foreign Rathnir idealist, Paullus Decker, who formed the region into Eldham's first republic.

At 19, he would emerge into the political sphere, educating himself on local and global events, as well as familiarizing himself with the republic. Jommerson would find himself growing distasteful of the established government, the inefficiency of the senate, snap elections, etc., but it wasn't until his encounter with the Rendinumian radical Kappa Kaweco that he would begin to vocalize his opinions.

Trial of Two Pickaxes
On the 2nd of July, Jommerson was arrested for the theft of two enchanted diamond pickaxes, on with Silk Touch, the other with Mending and Fortune II, from Roman resident SwirlSpie. Jommerson would plead guilty and his defense attorney would argue that because the pickaxes were stored in a public facility where anyone could leave or take resources, it wasn't theft. The prosecutor for the trial would argue that the pickaxes were not stolen from the warehouse, but in fact from Swirls' very home. With no evidence to support this, the defense persisted with its claim, but after threats from the judge to institutionalize Jommerson should he continue with his argument, and from Swirls to send the Berry Bandits after him should he not comply, Jommerson had his attorney surrender. In a week's time he returned one of the pickaxes and paid for the one he'd lost to bandits, but this would forever change his view on his homeland.

Ravenguard Takeover
On the 17th of July, Consul Adeo (AtomicSpiderPig) would announce that at 7pm the following day Rendinum would surrender to Ravenguard, and all Roman residents were to evacuate to Anglunia. At the fall of Rendinum, Jommerson would attempt to annex Avaricia to the Wandenreich under the impression that while Rendinum still existed, so would the opportunity. It was later brought to light that Rendinum had stopped existing at 11pm on July 15, and wasn’t inhabited by Ravenguard for the sole purpose of allowing residents of Roma time to evacuate. Jommerson would remain in Avaricia under Ravenguard for the month following.

Jommerson would continue to labor for the growth of his city, but no longer felt the fervor and passion he once did. An entire community he'd familiarized himself with had disappeared, replaced with strangers who claimed to own his homeland. He could hardly stand to build for a country so alien to him. It was also at this time that he would frequent the Wandenreich, later changed to the Astrokan-Wandnereich Empire, where he would make friends with locals and even help with Quincy construction. On August 19th, he would resign as mayor of Avaricia to move to the A.W.E, which was, in his mind, truly the greatest place on Eldham.

Immigrant of the A.W.E
Jommerson was quick to become an active, productive member of A.W.E. society. Moving into Silbern, his first act of business was to build a cheese and jam shop. He would also help build activities for the Unity Day Festival, as well as assist with the construction of the Quincy Gotterpalast in Silbern. It was in Silbern, the center of all things Quincy, that Jommerson would find faith in Die Quincy Obergotter, convinced that he had come in contact with the spawn of Nachtnebel and was very eager to either get rid of her or earn her favor.

He went so far to integrate himself into the country, that he even proposed to the founder of the Wandenreich himself, Franz Kaisser. With this, he was on the track to become a member of the royal family and a prominent name in the empire, but on the 4th of October, this engagement would turn to naught as Kaisser and Senator Xenophastic would stage a coup with a plot to restore Kaisser's position as Grand Falcon. The coup failed where it started and both men were quickly stripped of all power and arrest. Jommerson would cut off the engagement before Kaisser's eventual execution which took place on October 10th.

Through living in the A.W.E socializing among nobility (most notably, the Draekars) Joms would unexpectedly be reunited with his long lost father, Demon Draekar. Due to Jommerson being born out of wedlock, he would not receive the name Draekar, nor be accepted into the family as a noble, as per the ardent rejection of Archeon Draekar. Regardless, both father and son would work together in various endeavors such as the development of Pumpkin Co. in Steigenhaven.

An Attempt At the Homeland
In November of 2021, Joms, to the assistance of former emperor Paullus Decker, would make an attempt to seize back the former Romanesque empire of the southwest through dubious means of diplomacy and eventual aggression, all attempts of which failed. The plan involved long preparation and consolidation of weapons, armor, and soldiers. Jommerson played a major role in both funding the war and gathering allies for assistance. On the day before the first battle of Erros, the A.W.E pulled their soldiers out of fear of retaliation from the Eldham Entente, and Decker eventually forfeited by force of hand. Furious that Decker had once again surrendered without a fight for the sake of Rendinum, Jommerson plotted revenge by serving an unsuspecting Paullus Lathien's Bathwater. Unfortunately, this particular brew was so potent that rather than crippling Decker, it killed him. Horrified by what he'd done, Joms went into hiding in Azuma-zi for two months, taking up a peaceful life of farming and socializing with the necromancers next door.

Current Days
Jommerson now manages real estate in Steigenhaven and is a manager at Pumpkin Co.
