Egor Tsukanov

Out of Character
Joe joined on June 6th, 2021, after watching RedFireRex's video about making a country. He mainly played on rathnir with a visit to Eldham every now and then. But this changed on June 9th, while he was visiting Eldham. He was making a base into the side of a cliff, and he ended up with 9 stacks of cobblestone. He asked in the public chat if someone wanted it, and a player named "dreeeeeeeeeeeeam" answered saying he did. Joe teleported to dreeeeeeeeeeeeam's town and delivered it to him. Remembering the cobblestone hadn't been payed for, he asked dreeeeeeeeeeeeam for refuge in his city in exchange for the cobblestone. He accepted Joe's offer. However, he would only let Joe stay if he converted the cobble to regular stone, and also get more stone for a wall they needed for building a wall around the town. For the next 2 irl days, he collected cobblestone, turned it to stone, turned it to stone bricks, and gave it to dreeeeeeeeeeeeam. On June 11th, they finally completed the wall, and made a holiday known as "Poggerwall Day".

In Character
Egór Aboniervich Tsukanov was born in the slums of Dorasterrock, the capital of Bardonia. He got a somewhat stable education from a kind lady that would teach poor families for free. In his free time he would go fishing, play in the woods, and study language. He was so interested in language, in fact, he wanted to work on making his own. He quickly found out it wasn't going to be as simple as putting some sounds together and calling it a word. When he was 15, he began to travel the world, studying languages. For 8 years, he traveled, taking notes, even learning an entire language two times.

He ended up coming to a nation known as Aurora Novum. It was still fairly early in the making, but it was a nice place. It had a particular city in it Egór loved: Black Hollow. It was very well contrasted, with black, blue, and magenta. He chose he would live there. He created a potato farm in the town, and opened a grocery store that sold sugar cane, potatoes, and wheat. After about 5 days, there was an election being held for different chancellors, and he decided to run for Chancellor of Interior. Since no one else ran for it, he won by default. As he promised, he worked on making a road, livening the area, and spreading the farm work around the nation. However, Aurora Novum was a republic, and he was starting to shift his political views. So he decided to look for a new nation to join.

One day, while looking around Rathnir, he saw a poster that advertised a nation known as the United Socialist States of Eldham. He remembered a man name Athaz discovering a land called Eldham. He researched it further and realized that it was the perfect fit for his political beliefs. He packed up his stuff and started moving. It took him 7 months to make it to Eldham, and when he arrived he realized that the terrain was much more different than Rathnir's. Many snowy areas, deserts, and forests detailed the land where as Rathnir had those, but not nearly as big and beautiful as Eldham's. He left towards the USSE from the Bardonia's docks. Once he arrived safely in USSE territory, he put in a citizenship application, and it was accepted. He then traveled to Staroslav (The city he said he would move to in his application) and introduced himself to the residents. The mayor of Staroslav was a man named Pogge van Roose, a fairly sophisticated man it seemed. Along with him, there was a man named Diogo, and Egór was interested in the way he acted. When Egór moved in, Diogo ended up visiting him about something; He wanted Egór to do him a favor, to help with building a wall around Staroslav. He wanted Egór to mass produce stone bricks, which, Egór did well at. So he started. Mining, smelting, crafting. Mining, smelting, crafting, etc. After Diogo told him it was enough, they finished up the tedious process and completed the wall. The entirety of Staroslav was happy that the wall was made, preventing any bandits from easily assaulting them. On that day, June 11th 2021, they celebrated. Even making it an official holiday of sorts.

While he was living there, he saw that people weren't as active in a small village such as Staroslav, so he decided to move to one of the biggest cities in the nation, Port Crelov. There he met 4 nice people: Kato, Quintis, Sorray, and DeathByCannabis. Sorray gave him building lessons every now and then, which he appreciated. Port Crelov was known for hosting great builders, so Egór felt a bit of pressure to do good. He tested different matierials, styles, and sizes, but he never found one he particularly liked yet.

Shortly after moving to Port Crelov, Vanakunir, a capitalist country that neighbored the USSE, attempted to take their land, sparking conflict across both nations. Vanakunir decided to start a war over it. In the meanwhile, soldiers prepared themselves, getting good armor, weapons, and potions. When the time came, barely anyone was awake. Plus, Vanakunir got mercenaries to attack them, while they only had their troops. As the morning came, they accepted defeat. Instead of taking all of the land, however, they only took about half of it, splitting it with a mercenary named Welpish. Egór mainly jumped around cities after the war, including cities in the Confederation of Garxijos and Xeka.

One particular city he found interest in was a city in Xeka named Nordstad. One of the only people that lived there was a man named Jörð. When he moved there, he felt feelings that he'd never felt before. Feelings for Jörð. Despite these feelings, he pushed them out of the way, to work on important stuff. Meanwhile, his work in the USSE had been getting to him, making him stay up and resort to alcohol to keep working. One night, he ended up getting drunk, and started thinking about things beyond his league. He got pissed at the CPUSSE's footing in the government, how corrupt it was, and many other idiotic thoughts. He took it to the point of using the ownership of Crosotex, which was intended to be temporary, and wanting to secede. He proceeded to change the name of the city to Tsukanovia and declared independence. Later that night after being threatened extensively by the government, he surrendered quickly. Later that day, a court case by the name of the State of Croscograd vs. Egór Tsukanov took place which resulted in Mr. Tsukanov being charged with High Treason and being given the penalty of a $5,000 fine and indefinite banishment from USSE territory.

After being banished, he realized what he did and felt horrible, even to the point of getting mild depression and stealing Jörð's prescription medications. While coping with this, he also saw some of his points as valid, and wanted to start a nation. This was not going to be as easy as he thought, however. Not wanting to go to war or build and artificial island, he decided he would buy land. There was one nation, Kolssonafell, that was fairly low in people. Egór made a deal with the Jarl, Drake Nielsen, that he would pay him for the entire land. Despite this, Drake told Egór that he could have it for free, under three conditions: To keep the culture, somewhat Nordic; To keep the monarchy, which Egór was planning on; and if Drake did come back, that he gets a form of lordship or a province. With Egór seeing these terms as acceptable, the deal was made.

Egór had the thing he's always wanted; A kingdom to rule. Despite being a fairly sized kingdom, it rarely got citizens. Instead, it got nearly 20 diplomats, making Egór extremely frustrated when they kept joking about his nation being a diplomat magnet. The one citizen that joined was a citizen of Old Kolssonafell. He ended up asking Egór for the land to re-establish Old Kolssonafell. Seeing the state his "nation" was in, Egór accepted. As a last ditch effort to gain hapiness, Egór decided to do the thing he had been waiting to do: Propose to Jörð. When he did this, Jörð declined, because he was straight. Overrun by depression and poverty, Egór killed himself on July 27, 2021.

Darkness. Egór had known this for months. Not having lived his life the way the gods intended, he fought himself knowing he did wrong. Suddenly, after approximately 10 months of the blurry confusion of the afterlife, he woke up. He woke up in the city of Black Hollow, one of his many homes in his past life. When he looked around, Black Hollow looked much more advanced, with the blackstone walls raised high, and the road stretching for miles compared to the little amount when he last saw the city. He began walking around and taking in the view. Along the walk, he thought about many things: politics, philosophy, life, etc. He eventually came to terms with his current situation, and set upon fixing his life. He first began with changing from his rags to a military outfit; and eventually found the matching hat. For a short amount of time, he lived in a proper house, but he preferred being nomadic. He passed 3 days in a cave, writing and researching more about Juotism. With his new second chance, Egór hopes to bring prosperity to himself and his friends. (TO BE CONTINUED...)
