== ~ A Bored Kid, a Magma Egg, and a Dream - The Sahara Era ~ ==

During June of 2022, JR was searching for a Minecraft server to pass the time over summer.  

That's when he stumbled upon EarthMC. His first instinct was to head to  

[[Aurora:Germany|Germany]] and build Frankfurt — a dream quickly crushed by the sight of a  

completely claimed Europe. Like every fresh spawn, he was immediately flooded with town  

invites and clicked the first one: '''SAHARA'''. A handsome man named Kyoto handed him 4  

After about a month in Idles, his eyes landed on a '''MAGMA spawn egg''' at a drop party  

hosted by the nation of ASUKA. This was his ticket out of the lower class. He traveled north  

of Idles, and on June 27th, 2022, the town of '''Tamanrasset''' was born — still in Sahara,  

== ~ From 50 to 240 Chunks - The Tamanrasset Era ~ ==

What started as a small desert claim grew fast. 50 chunks. 100. 150. 181. The town kept  

expanding and JR kept building, and Tamanrasset became his home for nearly two years. Then,  

on '''August 26th, 2023''', [[Veyronity]] came along with a nation for sale. JR didn't  

hesitate — he was now the proud owner of a nation. Around January 2024, [[Veyronity]]  

gifted him another, which he passed to his friend '''Ice4_''' — this became '''Fezzan''', a  

nation JR continues to assist to this day. [[Veyronity]] and JR also co-founded  

'''The_Atlantis''' together, which they eventually sold for 2 gold after it became more  

burden than glory. Tamanrasset itself has since been rebranded twice over the years — first  

to '''Menia''', and then to '''Oasis''' — a town JR still owns to this day.

== ~ Frankfurt, Finally - The Germany Era ~ ==

On March 21st, 2024, JR finally fulfilled his original dream of settling in Germany. He  

founded the town of '''Frankfurt''' and the nation of '''Deutschland''' — a subsidiary  

nation operating under the umbrella of Germany, with '''Masrain''', the owner of Germany at  

the time, overseeing things. JR developed the town and the nation, but after a couple of  

== ~ Islands and Good Company - The St_John Era ~ ==

JR's next stop was '''St_John, Newfoundland''', where he and his friend '''4Floppa''' set  

out to build something great on the island together. They expanded it and made it beautiful  

for a time. Eventually though, as things go, the energy faded and JR returned to  

== ~ The Capitol That Almost Was - The Washington Era ~ ==

Not long after, '''Ghostyuu''' — owner of the USA and the town of Washington DC — was  

stepping back from the game and needed someone active to take over. JR stepped up, moved  

in, and built a large capitol building during his time there. From August 4th to September  

3rd, 2024, he held the fort. Then he handed it back to Ghostyuu and returned once more to  

== ~ A Long Quiet - The Return to Oasis ~ ==

For roughly six months after Washington, JR stayed anchored in Tamanrasset (now '''Oasis''').  

He wasn't particularly active on the live server, spending most of his time working on  

builds on the build server instead. It was a quieter chapter — but the foundation was being  

== ~ Vive la France - The French Era ~ ==

Eventually, the pull of his friends brought JR to France. He began moving through French  

cities, holding towns on behalf of the then-Emperor '''[[Veyronity]]''' — passing through  

'''Normandy''', '''Brittany''', and '''Monaco''' before finally settling down in the south  

west of France in '''Toulouse'''. His IRL friends took up the towns of '''Marseille''' and  

'''Paulaner''' nearby. France has been home ever since, and for the first time in a long
