Alexander Bush

Alexander Bush was an Eldonian nobleman, merchant, entrepreneur, investor, and businessman of the Kingdom of Novaterra. Belonging to House Gweel specializing in finances, the Second Arch Primarch and Acting King of Novaterra, Alexander played a huge role in expanding the economy of Novaterra, though this was short-lived. He is the founder of Wart Mart; Head of Marketing and COO of the Eldham Monetary Fund; former CEO of Blackstone Foundation; and former Marketing Executive at Riverside Investment & Finance. Born in a family of merchants in the nation of Novaterra, former colony of the Kingdom of Ozeanburg, Alexander was the third son of Gary and Isabella.

Early Life
Born to the Bush family in the ocean Kingdom of Novaterra, Alexander was the third son of Gary and Isabella Bush. The Bush family were prominent traders and merchants who have been in the trading business for more than 10 years. Highly regarded in Novaterra, they were responsible for expanding the economy of the Kingdom of Novaterra. It is unknown where the Bush family came from.

During Alexander's youth, he would often spend his time with his brothers, Brian and Prescott Bush. Though he was a mischief at times, the locals regarded Alexander as a good child who was always keen in helping out others. However, a tragic occurrence happened when the Bush family went on a family trip. All but Alexander survived when their district was devastated by a tsunami during a terrible storm and their house was almost completely destroyed, except for Alexander's room due to it being the nearest to the house's foundations.

Being only 14 years old when Alexander's family was gone, Alexander was deeply saddened by this. With fifty-percent of Novaterra being destroyed, Alexander and some of the Novaterrans had to live on the streets. As Novaterra started to recover from the disaster, the presence of the Bush family had immediately died down and the new generations of Novaterra did not recognize the Bush family, nor Alexander himself. He had to live by eating the leftovers thrown out by the local taverns until one day, Terry Max, a local tavern owner, took in Alexander and took care of him.

With the loss of the Bush family, the economy in Novaterra heavily declined and it was in a state of crisis. The Kingdom of Novaterra fell into anarchy and many individuals were divided into groups. It was during this time where Alexander met his very first friends and allies Harley, Paragon, Marbles_0, Aaaaz, and pokeninja77.

Early Career & Adulthood
When the government forces of Novaterra had managed to calm the ensuing anarchy happening in Novaterra, Novaterra was still on a crash course with their economy. Without the connections of the Bush family, local businesses had to shut down their operations due to foreign traders and companies not having the knowledge that the Kingdom of Novaterra exists. Having acquired some business knowledge from work given by Alexander's caretaker, Terry, he decided to create his own trading company called Wart Mart.

During the development of Wart Mart, Alexander worked together with Aaaaz and Marbles_0 to run the trading company. Aaaaz also suggested that Alexander should have an alias to avoid state taxes, so Alexander tried thinking of aliases. Weeks later, Alexander decided to go with the alias, "abush635." This alias was derived from "a" being Alexander's name, "bush" being his family name, and "635" being a house keychain that his great-great grand father has kept for the family's heirloom.

As months went by, Wart Mart started to slowly grow. However, during its early phases, Alexander had issues with Marbles_0, which resulted in Marbles_0 having an early departure from Wart Mart. Continuing on, Alexander together with Aaaaz, observed that in order to improve Novaterra's economy, they needed to jump in the crimson wood and redstone industry as their neighboring countries such as The Pale and The Kingdom of Lutum needed these materials in order to attend the huge demands of crimson wine and overworld & nether highways. After Alexander and Aaaaz worked on this, within a few months, the economy of Novaterra started to flourish quickly and name of the Bush family was revived thanks to this success.

Path to Power & Wealth
After his trading company had grew exponentially well, Alexander saw his extraordinary skill and knowledge in business management and marketing which caught the attention of his childhood friend, Harley, a young and upcoming King of Novaterra. Harley saw potential in Alexander as his family belonged to House Gweel, which accommodated the best finance specialists. Harley decided to reconnect with Alexander and asked for his support while promising to make him one of the Primarches in Novaterra after he becomes King. Weeks later, Harley becomes King and makes Alexander one of the Primarches, which resulted in more business opportunities.

However, when Harley became King, he was not very active in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Novaterra as he was busy travelling to other nations with the intention to promote Novaterra. Alexander, realizing that he could use this opportunity to take advantage of increasing his power, he decided to buy out other local businesses and made sure that Wart Mart was the sole trading company in order to have a monopoly in Novaterra. Although there were some small businesses that resisted, ultimately Alexander's persistence paid off and his company was now the sole trading company that represented Novaterra, which resulted in a huge growth for the economy of Novaterra. It was tremendously growing that Harley caught wind of this and sent a royal letter to his advisors to immediately promote Alexander to Arch Primarch.

Years as Arch Primarch
As the word of Alexander's promotion went around, the people of Novaterra were pleased to hear this as this contributed to the rapid growth of Novaterra, thereby restoring the people's pride and glory. However, this was short-lived. After just a couple weeks after Alexander's rise to power, he was faced with a crisis, an individual name Ginger was suddenly named the Acting King of Novaterra. Alexander was at first confused as he was not informed of this, which he later found out that Harley asked one of his allies, Ginger to become the Acting King of Novaterra to make sure everything was in its place.

Feeling betrayed, Alexander decided to take matters into his own hand and indirectly competed with the Acting King. Ginger, not being very active as the Acting King, Alexander decided to acquire more power by establishing several diplomatic relations with other nations and to use his trading company, Wart Mart as a tool in influencing Novaterra's economy and his own personal influence. Alexander's strategy worked and the citizens of Novaterra took it to the streets that Alexander should be the Acting King of Novaterra. With Ginger nowhere to be found, Alexander along with his loyal followers, took the Kingdom's castle peacefully and was proclaimed by the citizens as the Acting King.

Becoming Acting King
After Alexander became the Acting King of Novaterra, he decided to make sure that the citizens of Novaterra are provided with the best benefits. Alexander created many policies that were both met with positive and negative support. This included the business & trading policies being more in favor of his own trading company, WartMart, state laws, as well as the restructuring of the Kingdom's government. Despite Alexander's many aggressive and controversial policies, ultimately the Kingdom of Novaterra's economy rapidly grew and the citizens of Novaterra were no longer living in poverty.

The Fall
After months of Alexander's rise to power, the Kingdom of Novaterra was at its height of glory and power. However, due to its location being in the middle of the ocean, it was once again hit by a wave of terrible storms. This time, the waves of these terrible storms were different than the previous waves. It produced some of the biggest tsunamis Novaterra has seen in its history of storms. Though this did not heavily affected the economy of Novaterra as Alexander was prepared for these future storms, however, on the last tsunami wave, it brought an unknown plague. The plague was so severe and deadly, it had killed more than 70% of Novaterra's population. With the absence of King Harley, Alexander had to figure out a way to make sure that his beloved nation survives this plague.

Unfortunately, despite Alexander's tantamount efforts, the Kingdom of Novaterra fell into despair and anarchy. Alexander tried sending a royal letter to his friend, Harley, to come back as soon as possible, but he soon discovers that Harley had been spending his whole time in Rathnir using the tax the citizens of Novaterra had made through hard work. This made Alexander enraged for this betrayal. Because of this, Alexander and a remainder of his loyal followers had to evacuate immediately and set sail for one of their neighboring nations, The Vulperium.
