Skippy the Gnome

Origins
Skippy was born in the first ever year of the first ever world of Paxia, with no mother nor father. One could say he simply... spawned there. In the cold tundras he grew from a mere child to a hardened man, fighting wolves for his right to exist and living off sweet berries. What brought him there? He would not know until the first world was no more. When it was destroyed, he floated in the void for many decades, and there he met his true father. Ag'leyth, a being of pure knowledge, had created Skippy in an effort to experience the world through the eyes of someone who could touch, feel, smell and taste things like a mortal would, and for this reason Skippy was cursed to never truly die, instead he would respawn where he last slept, as if it was all just a dream, or a nightmare.

Paxia
In the first world of Paxia Skippy lived as a wild man, not so different from wolves. But indeed there were other intelligent beings around, and eventually he found a villager and artist known as Thainara. They both eventually fell in love, but Skippy found out he could not have children. Thainara created the portrait that you can see in this page of Skippy, and the clothes that he uses were made by her. Eventually, the world of Paxia was destroyed by the anger of a great many gods, but, cursed by immortality, Skippy survived.

Jagdas
Skippy woke up in the wold of Jagdas in the middle of an ocean and for many years he lived as a nomad, stricken by grief from the loss of his world. After 5 years, he attempted to commit suicide by forcing himself off the world border, but... well, he just woke up from the nightmare again. Seeing that he was here to stay, he decided to turn the nightmare into a dream, and sought out lands to build his house.

Bellow a peacefull green hill, there was a hole. In this hole there was a home, the home of a man named Skippy. Raising his sheep and cows, he was finally at peace... but then, with fire and brimstone, the world of Jagdas was destroyed. Once more he roamed the void.

Rathnir
He woke up again, in the world of Rathnir, near what would become the city of Urnu-Arrack. There were people there, the people of Yimmu-Audal, but seeking peace once more Skippy fled to a distant Mesa biome. After many years the biome was discovered to be gold rich and multiple wars were fought over it, the Golden Wars, in which Skippy participated as a mercenary, seeking out conflict in a desperate bid to stop his raging boredom that comes with immortality.After years of constant fighting the new world of Eldham was discovered and Skippy would start a new life there.

After many weeks of travel by boat, he arrived at a small city known as Venishire, and there he settled, making frieds along the way. Noticing the ruins of the land, he stated to piece together the existance of an ancient race of short people that called themselves the Maddrakkii that looked suspecioulsy a lot like Skippy and worshipped a god named Ag'leyth. In the name of said god theiy enslaved and sacrificed what they called lesser races, such as ice elves, goblins, trolls, orcs, ogres, giants and many others. In the common tongue Skippy named this race the Forest Gnomes, and sought out to translate their language and start their civilization again, this time in a proper way.

It just so happens that he became a leader of the nation that he was living in, previouslly known as Rabanshire, now known as Phoenia, and to acomplish his goals he sought out more power. Teaming up with players Tidesingerr and Firedragone he started to plan a coup, with its base of operations situated at the newly built fortress of DolGuldur, that Skippy was ordered to build by his dictator Tunder_.

It turned out that Tunder_ was becoming afk and willingly gave out ownership of the nation. Long story short, Skippy crowned himself King and set up the Republic of New Phoenia, aka South Phoenia.

Chancellor King
Skippy now had ultimate power inside his nation of Phoenia, being both chancellor and King, albeit the Senate still had a say in the running of the nation, and Skippy himself did not wish to abuse his power. Indeed, he lead the nation for 3 months, leading it in, and later out, of the Clown Wars . When the time came for Skippy to no longer hold ultimate power, the elections hapened, and Tunder_ won fair and square. The gnome gave up his office, and the transfer of power was peaceful and uneventful, but Skippy was still the King.

Marriage
In the morning of the 3rd of August the chancellor and queen of the nearby Kingdom of Anglunia visited the phoenic capital of DolGuldur, claimed land of Skippy himself. Although this was not the intent of the visit, it ended up on a marriage proposal by Skippy to Queen Elyani Taygen-Blizun of Agnlunia (player QCoffee) who, blushing, accepted. Later that same day the cerimony was held at the meadhall of Myrtle
