electross24
Electross first joined stoneworks on August 8th, 2021. He is a human who lives in eastern Sparwood, within the nation of Rohel(Former Kartek Diarchy), as a herbalist and brewer situated in Buktenbyen. He works as the Duke of Buktenbyen as well as a member of the True Liberation Alliance. In addition, he is also the founder and head of the Crimson Cauldron Brewery and Apothecary, a brewing and jam-making company that delivers its products all across Rathnir and Eldham.

Personality
Most people view Electross as an individual with an overly calm and serene demeanor at first. Although he maintains this persona in public, on the inside Electross can be quite volatile and manipulative. He often overthinks situations, and pressure causes him to make decisions too quickly. This has led to many instances where he could not make a proper decision in time, or overestimates his enemies and retreats from combat. Though unsuited for close quarters combat due to this mentality, Electross still chooses to place himself in dangerous situations as both a scout and bandit, mostly due to necessity.

After Kartek restabilized following multiple government collapses, Electross's demeanor changed. He became reclusive and even more volatile, often locking himself up in his laboratory and experimenting on brews.

Gortovar
Electross's first memories began in a grassy hill full of dandelions, overlooking the ocean. After scouting around the area, he realized he was in The Republic of Bardonia. The man did not stay there for long though. He decided to journey to the Grizzly Bear Bar, in order to learn more about Rathnir. There, he learned of the continent of Sparwood. Thus, he set off on a journey across the sea, hoping to reach Sparwood and find a place to call home. Along his journey, he ran into a storm and was shipwrecked on a mysterious coast. Stranded, hungry, and lost, Electross journeyed inland towards a swamp. As he was about to die of starvation, he spotted a massive field of potatoes that seemed to stretch on for miles. At the edge of the potatoe fields he spotted pure, white hurts. Seeing as how nobody was home, Electross stole some potatoes for food, but accidentally ate a poisonous one and fell unconscious.

He woke up to sunlight streaming down his face, surrounded by yurts. A man introduced himself as Puma, a recruiter for the newly formed Kartek Diarchy. Although skeptical at first, due to Puma and guilt from stealing crops, Electross was eventually convinced to join the town of Gortovar, the capitol of the Kartek Diarchy. He quickly set up a yurt at the edge of town near the potato fields, and was officially deemed as a citizen of the Kartek Diarchy.

Electross had trouble adjusting to life within Kartek at first. Their lifestyle of living in small yurts instead of proper houses especially bothered him, but overtime he grew to love their free-spirited style of living. He went on to meet and befriend many members of the Kartek Diarchy, such as Barend, HunterHunter, Aconm4ster, and Tommo Gortoi.

One day, Electross decided to visit DaLounge, a famous bar in the neighboring nation of Vraelea. There, he met RipleyTheAxolotl and HotDogDude. Although their meeting was short, his visit to DaLounge coupled with his venture to the Grizzly Bear Bar inspired Electross to pursue brewing. He initially started a small brewery in a cave under his yurt. He learned a few simple brews and sold them on the market for extra income. Little did he know that his journey into brewing would mold his adventures and life in Rathnir for the next months,

Buktenbyen
A few months into his citizenship in Gortovar, a new town named Buktenbyen was being constructed off the coast of Kartek by Aconm4ster and Tommo Gortoi. Seeing as Electross wanted to get more serious into brewing and have a larger house, he decided to move into Buktenbyen and ultimately helped develop the once small bayside town into a massive Kartek city. While in Buktenbyen, Electross helped build various local buildings and terraform the land. He opened his first bar there, the Buktenbyen Pub, and also helped build the Buktenbyen keep and slums.

Kartek Collapse
In mid-October, a secret military coup lead by Barend and RGBStarship happened overnight. That morning, Electross, now an Advisor to the Duke of Buktenbyen, along with the other advisors and the Duke of Buktenbyen himself, Aconm4ster, received a letter announcing the collapse of the Kartek Diarchy. Nearly immediately, the neighboring supernation of Frosterium annexed Kartek territory. Aconm4ster promoted Electross to become Duke of Buktenbyen, as he was unable to continue his duties. Thus, the next few months were one of the most turbulent times in all of Sparwood history. Throughout these times, Kartek fought with tooth and nail to earn back their independence, and soon this once small and peaceful nation earned a terrible reputation across all of Rathnir. They regarded Kartek as savages who simply refused to surrender, who would go to any cost to win, whether it be terrorism or propaganda.

Jamdits
After the resurrection of Lunkin Donuts and a resurgence of novice brewers in the Bartenders Guild, Electross became worried that the traditional bartender guild rules wouldn’t be upheld. He would actively work against Lunkin Donuts and other recipe sharers, resorting to assassination when necessary. Then, he received an invitation from Jiles to join a bandit group he was forming. On November 7th, 2021, Electross decided to become involved with the Jamdits of Eldham, who were made up of elite jam makers and brewers across Eldham and Rathnir. After being accepted by the Disciples of Jam, he heard about the group and was one of its first members. He would go on to become the master of stealth operations and scouting for the Jamdits. In addition, while he mainly worshipped Craftism, Electross also participated in Jam Rituals alongside the other disciplines. His first ever ritual was the Jam Odyssey, led by guardready.
