Slat

Pregame Lore:
Tempo Tetsuya AKA Slat of Asaryan descent was born and raised in Shigetada, Plagos. His parents were killed by The Hands (bandit group of Bardonia) during a raid that occurred when he was thirteen years old. This left Slat with only his brother Tempo Yamato AKA DOOM who soon became his legal guardian. In order to earn money Slat got his gambling addiction by playing backdoor games of Chō-han (a traditional Japanese gambling game using dice) where he would rig the dice games and soon later fell into a huge gambling debt. One day, a Yakuza member was onto Slat's scam of tempering with the dice and during a game that he was playing, the Yakuza member requested that the dice in-game were to be replaced before Slat had even took his turn. This game in particular was a high stakes Chō-han game and Slat had bet all the residual savings that him and his brother had been saving up. With a roll of the non-tampered dice, Slat had bankrupted. The debt became a burden towards DOOM who was aspiring to seek a better life for both him and Slat and he knew he had to come up with a scheme to get them out of this situation. They both come from the Tempo Family, a family of druids, merchants, mercenaries and bandits. Since they did not have any skillsets, they resorted to making money by stealing from local markets for food, goods, and valuables. After time passed the two had become wealthy enough to afford a house in a poorer village just outside of Shigetada. Slat had decided to stay away from gambling for the time being and decided to polish up his skills as a brewer by learning how to distill, eventually making some very fine saké and tea. It was time for a reset. With Slat's debt erased and both him and his brother gaining enough wealth to afford living, this was a beginning to a new successful life.

Sakurai Tempo:
As a young adult Slat along with his older brother DOOM branched off from Shigetada and founded their land named Sakurai Tempo - The Prospering City where they could pursue their dreams of having a successful merchant business. It is east of Shigetada and was originally discovered by his older brother. DOOM purposed to Slat that Sakurai Tempo is where they could build their new lives and where they could escape their reputation as being known as トラブル兄弟 "The Trouble Pair" from their shoddy past history of thievery. This was the start of an era, a new way of thinking for the two brothers. They were enlightened and wanted to set a foundation that would hold and become a legacy to their family name. The Prospering City meaning that they want to scale Sakurai into a functioning society that the world would respect and look up to. A place that merchants would seek out towards to start a life of wealth and prosperity. Slat and DOOM want this city be a safe haven for like-minded individuals who want to better their lives and who are hard working, whether their past history was rough or polished, Sakurai Tempo is a place where success begins.

A Conflict With The Hands:
After Sakurai Tempo was established, Plagos was widely still being ransacked by Bardonia's bandit group: The Hands. This had not yet been problematic with the brothers, because Sakurai was still a new province that had not yet been discovered throughout the world. DOOM wanted to continue the construction of the city, however Plagatea, the nation of Plagos was dealing with internal conflict of subjugating a defiant state within Plagos called Plagadonia. The conflict had been going for a for lengthy period of time and Plagadonia decided to bring in The Hands in as mercenaries. Given the previous history with Plagos and The Hands organization, this was an act of treason against Plagatea. With The Hands being involved with this internal affair, they began raiding multiple towns that opposed Plagadonia throughout Plagos. This included Sakurai Tempo and at the time this was very problematic for the newly established city because they were outnumbered and underequipped. DOOM and Slat were forced into hiding, anticipating what The Hands' next move move would be. What step they would take next. The two brothers were pinned and were temporarily at the mercy of the mercenaries. DOOM advised that they stayed hidden until there was an opportunity to strike The Hands, whether it was hopeless or not a message had to be sent: "This is our land, we must defended it from any foreign opposer." The window had finally come! DOOM found the leader of Plagadonia, the one leading the siege, isolated and slayed him. This was a huge turning point during the raid and soon deflated enemy forces and halted Plagadonia's raid on Sakurai Tempo. The Hands knew about Sakurai Tempo and were forced to respect The Prospering City.

Becoming The Head Druid:
Plagatea's army needed to be strengthen with the establishment of a Druid Guild. A guild comprised of armorers, brewers, and potion makers who fill out military contracts for massive payouts. It was proposed by DOOM the new General of Plagatea, then formed by Slat. As Head Druid, he unites the craftsmen, armorers, weapon-smiths, enchanters, and fishermen of the empire into one organization to allow them to work more coordinated in order to maximize efficiency in order to supply the military. This became a way that Slat could utilize the skills as a brewer he learned back in the Shigetada days. It was settled - Slat could finally live up to the Tempo Family name and have a respected name throughout the world of Rathnir. With the success of the guild Slat continues to inspire like-minded merchants to pursue a life better than his earlier days as a teenager.

The Third Coalition War:
Slat was drafted to fight in the war against the world power known as Bardonia. Viodoxa formed a coalition involving multiple nations including Slat's nation Plagatea against Bardonia. It was a necessary war that needed to occur because while Slat was young, Bardonia had been a war mongering empire that waved a sword at Plagatea. Slat decided to serve as a solder in the war. This was the first war that he has ever participated in and it ended up being a major world war. It was personal to Slat to be involved due to Bardonia's consignment to The Hands, who is the bandit group that killed Slat's parents. During the war he was able to follow DOOM leading a squadron of Plagateans into the siege of New Dorrasterock. By the time they arrived in New Dorrasterock, the battle had been won and over for the most part, however Slat and DOOM played a huge part in the war by halting The Hands who were coming the counter the siege. They battled The Hands outside of the city's forest and stopped LilyPrism, Yaykei, and RydenFTW from successfully countering the Coalition. The Coalition's efforts ended up being successful and Bardonia soon surrendered, breaking the empire's power.

Sun's Gate vs Goonsville War:
In the world of Eldham, Slat and his brother DOOM had been drafted to fight for Sun's Gate as an ally in the new world. Goonsville, declared war on Sun's Gate due to Sun's Gate having affiliation with Viodoxan forces from the old world Rathnir. Slat's involvement came because his support to Viodoxa's Coalition and player Komnenicos, a fellow member of the Druid Guild, who is a trusted member of Sakurai Tempo. The war efforts were primarily to stop Goonsville forces from breaching the main capitol where Sun's Gate's armory was stashed. Slat and his brother DOOM held the southern wall of Sun's Gate that the enemy's army was occupying. BOOM! The Goonsville Army had lit TNT and split the southern wall, and soldiers from both armies began battling for the control of the entire city. Unfortunately Sun's Gate forces were stopped abruptly and Sun's Gate's army had to retreat back into the armory where they would hold to protect Sun's Gate's main loot.

Slat's Biggest Scam Ever:
On 27-08-2021 Slat used the /rename command to rename a sword with the same name as the Lottery Draw Notification. He killed player NotJustABird several times, making the death messages appear as if the Lottery Draw Notification was displaying that the Lottery had a 4,000,000 coin pot. Suddenly multiple players, including Admin Athaz The Traveler (10 tickets) bought Lottery Tickets in the masses, thus Slat artificially raised the Lottery to an inflated 200,000+ coin pot which he then entered and successfully won. After this scam Developer Moyye got involved and confiscated the sword from Slat, and days later the "&7" default gray color was removed from players with the /rename command. Till this date, this was Slat's most profitable and riskiest scam that he ever pulled off.

Counterfeit Goods:
While fishing, Slat fished up a water bottle and decided to name it "Gamer Girl Bath Water" and placed it up on the Auction House. The description reading: "You should really be ashamed of yourself for bidding on this." It ended up getting 21 bids in less than 10 minutes of it being up for auction. The auction was made to be a joke, however ended up being very profitable for Slat with the auction ending at 26,450 coins!
