JJ Arçanüm: Difference between revisions

JJ first started playing Graal Online Classic around late 2014 to early 2015. He would spend his first few years completing quests and towering at Old Castle. He would get banned every now and then and eventually quit, for he no longer found the game fun. It was not until 2017 when he returned, and would first join the [[Graal Military Community]]. He saw a man at Graal City recruiting for his guild. The name of this military guild is unknown. JJ would be there for a short period of time, but he thoroughly enjoyed the guild. He was fascinated by the uniforms and training ethics. Curious as always, JJ asked if the guild’s theme was based off of the anime Bleach, since the guild hadheld the ranks such asof Captain and Lieutenant. The leader disliked JJ’s comment, and he was kicked. Shocked, yet frustrated, JJ begged to rejoin the guild, but it was of no use. He would search for other military guilds across Graal City, but he simply could not find any. JJ would then quit Graal again, as he no longer had anything else to do.

Now here's where the real military history begins. In early May of 2019, JJ decided to reinstall Graal Classic. A man named Sau Lyaz approached him and asked him to join his guild. Seeing as it was a military guild like the one from years back, JJ gladly accepted the offer, and he once again, had a purpose for playing Graal. The Kingdom of Akkadia was great, and JJ would (for a while) become extremely loyal to its leader, Sau. Later that day, JJ was promoted to Sergeant after acing a promotion exam. JJ’s time in Akkadia would be short due to Sau getting sick, but it was this kingdom that would introduce him to [[Imperia]]. After Akkadia’s fall, JJ would be transfered over to [[Arcadia]].

JJ disliked Arcadia, and so, he decided to hop around the Imperian tags. He eventually joined Ordo Magnus. Ordo Magnus is where JJ started to make friends, notably Isiah and Harriskar to name a few. He enjoyed the guild and was quickly promoted to Sergeant. He would soon leave to join one of Sau’s newerlatest guildsguild, (Rhodinia). Rhodinia fell, and JJ rejoined Ordo Magnus. During a warbattle at Delta against the [[Sarovia|Sarovians]], JJ refused to PK because he was at 100 APAlignment Points. Frustrated,A frustrated Grandmaster Grey kickedwould then kick him out of the guild.

Realizing his mistake, JJ still wanted to help Imperia during the warbattle, so he joined The Holy Imperian Empire. However, he joined and wore the Elysian uniform out of mistake (previously being in Elysia during his "Imperian “expedition”expedition”). Commander of the Guard T Magnus and Emperor [[Xinke Han|Xinke Magnus]] would then exchange the following words:

Elysia is where JJ grew and became known within Imperia. During his first few days he was made a Sergeant due to his past experience, and he eventually achieved the rank of Knight within a few weeks. JJ would become great friends with everyone in Imperia including its high command. During November of 2019, JJ was appointed a Paladin by [[Zearos D. S'ahlesius]]. He wore his Paladin title with great pride, and Paladin meetings would be arranged every now and then to discuss the internal state of each respective Imperian guild. JJ continued to work hard, constantly recruiting and hosting training activities multiple times a day.

Around early December, Elysia would adopt a Japanese theme. The former German themed kingdom was now known as The Elysian Shogunate. This is where JJ was promoted to the rank of Daikan, a special rank that was worn onlyexclusively by him.

During late December of 2019, Sau Lyaz rejoined Imperia and spoke to JJ about relaunching Akkadia. JJ was hesitant. He did not want to leave Elysia, as he grew fond of its leader, [[Azrael Kusan]], as well as its members. Elysia was the guild where JJ felt he truly belonged. Elysian officers such as JT Caelestius, Sergei Nikolai, and Bobi Rogers knew of JJ’s importance within Elysia, and so they didwere notheavily wantagainst him to transfertransferring. Regardless, JJ  joined in on the plans and was brought into the Lyaz family.

The time came, and Akkadia was relaunched. JJ was given the rank of Marshal. Within the first week, Akkadia was at 30 members and activity was steady. As time went by, JJ would come to realize that Sau was no longer as active as he once was. Despite JJ’s once unwavering loyalty to Sau, he would soon rejoin Elysia due to his unhappinesslack of satisfaction in Akkadia. Once Sau got the news that JJ had left, he mass kicked the guildAkkadia and left Imperia shortly after. This gave JJ some form of guilt, but he was happy to be back in Elysia nonetheless.

As the days went by, Elysia grew inactive. Azrael decided it was time to adopt another theme. And so, The Elysian Papacy was born. This era of Elysia was based off of the Swiss guard. This is also where Azrael convinced [[Fyre Xavi]] (A Maverian Chancellor at the time) to join Elysia. With him, Fyre brought his fellow [[The Xavi Family|Xavi]] family members. Within the first few days, Elysian activity once again boostedincreased significantly. JJ’s starting rank was Lieutenant (he was the first Elysian Lieutenant). The Elysian Papacy had a church in which JJ was made a priest. Things such as the church services, the Japanese tea house and arena, shogunate clans, and overall Azrael's ability to implement new activities into the guild is truly what made Elysia so remarkable. It goes without saying that Elysia was the most fun JJ's ever had on Graal. Sadly, Elysian activity only lasted a few more months, and Imperian activity as a whole began to decline. JJ grew bored, and Sergei Nikolai approached him at the perfect time, speaking about plans for a new Kiev. JJ let a few of his friends know of his departure that was soon to come, and one of them quickly went to Azrael to notify him. During those days, Azrael showed signs of irritation, but he did not do anything major to prevent JJ from leaving. He did however try to get some information from JJ about this guild. One daynight, on a usual nightly Imperian-wide meeting, JJ began to leave all Imperian discord servers as well as guild tags. Azrael noticed this and before JJ left the Elysian tag, Azrael said "yoYo". JJ began to think things through for a few minutes, but his decision was final. He left The Elysian Papacy, and would then leave the main Imperian discord server respectfully, shouting the famous “Visi Krusa Imperia!” motto before exiting.

Not much can be said about Castle Blackfyre, it was a guild led by Odin. JJ was placed in Blackfyre alongside many others in order to try and poach members for Kiev. After a while, Odin planned on taking a break and handed leadership over to [[James* Kazakov|James Von Kazakov]]. After some heavy convincing, James gave Blackfyre leadership to Sace (who was working with Kiev at the time). Sace then almost instantly handed Blackfyre leadership over to JJ.  JJ would then officially announced that Castle Blackfyre had been conquered by Kiev. However, Blackfyre officers Naz and Zenfur quickly retaliated, bringing a portion of Blackfyre over to their guild. The rest remained under Kiev control until Kiev officially launched. Once Kiev launched, JJ mass kicked the remaining Blackfyre loyalists.

While offered the rank of Captain, JJ chose to start off at a lower rank in Kiev, that rank being Lieutenant. JJ believed that if he wanted to achieve a higher rank, he would have to prove himself worthy of it. After some hard work and effort, JJ would eventually be promoted to Major. Kiev then entered the Anti-Imperian Alliance, which JJ fought in. The battle would result in a win for Kiev and other known militaries, as well as a massive blow to Imperia. JJ felt somewhat guilty for having fought and partaken in nullifying Imperia, his old guild. After this war came a series of mass kicking from Naz, for Naz claimed he wanted revenge for what had happened to Blackfyre. One of the major issues with Kiev, and an issue that would plague many other militaries to come, is thatwas Kiev had an's unstable and lazy officer core. Officers deserted and came back, while others did absolutely nothing other than stand AFK during training activities. Kiev soon died out, and JJ left due to these many issues/ the guild's inactivity. Many officers such as Sace and Isaac quickly followed in his footsteps, telling him they left for the same reason: inactivity.

In an attempt at redeeming himself, JJ rejoined Imperia. He joined Ordo Caelestius under Azrael. He was rank capped at Squire for about a month, and was then made a Sergeant immediately after his rank cap had ended. Despite being a Sergeant, JJ accepted thisthe humiliationrank because he was more than happy to be back. He was glad to be with his old friends and leaders; Xinke, Zearos, Azrael, Mavis, Isiah, Kei, Aiken, just to name a few. This rank however, would not stop him from exceeding in his tasks. He worked extremely hard, recruited daily, and even hosted 19 training activities in one week at someone point. JJ would remain in Imperia until its official disbandment. To his surprise, Xinke Magnus thanked JJ for his contribution in Imperia, and added that he was a memorable person.

After the fall of Imperia, [[Aiken L. Neplion]], a former Imperian officer as well as JJ’s friend approached him. He spoke about makinglaunching [[Corinth]], a guild that was originally supposed to launch as an Imperian kingdom. JJ accepted the offer and joined Corinth, receiving a position in Corinth’s high command (first a Consul in Corinth’s senate, and later on a Minister in its ministry).

Corinth was a Greek themed kingdom with excellent GFXgraphics. The main tag would take some time to fill, but eventually activity stacked up and Corinth would prosper. Jon would launch a civil tag by the name of Kiato, and JJ the Reino de Aegina. Corinth being an overall neutral guild, would not partake in many conflicts, but they did join the First Coalition (an alliance which stripped Arcadia of its lands).

One day, JJ noticed Sarovians patrolling in MoD Town. Sarovians claimed that they owned MoD, though in reality, it was Levian-owned territory. Despite most of the community recognizing MoD as Levian-owned, Levia waged war on MoD Town. At the time, Sarovia owned a decent portion of the map, and other militaries took advantage of Levia's invasion. House Bonhart would invade Onnet Town, and Byzantium would invade both Snow Town and Northern Wilderness (all these territories being owned by Sarovia at the time). This would result in Constantine conceding all of these territories, resulting in a win for Levia.

The Abaddon Stronghold was a short lived guild led by Octane Feurnoux. The guild had a medieval fantasy theme, and was inspired by games such as Dark Souls and Blood Shell. As a Warlord, JJ was third in command of the guild, and would oversee all operations. He took care of both internal and foreign affairs alike, and even commanded Abaddon in a warbattle against Arcadia in Swamp Town. Despite Arcadia having Lathum and Exercito as their allies, the battle would last merely an hour, resulting in Abaddon's victory.

During a PK activity at Northern Wilderness Octane would kill an admin. Petty, the admin gave Octane a two week ban. Due to the unexpected ban, JJ was made the temporary Master and de-facto leader of Abaddon (first in command). This is where JJ would meet [[Regius S|Regius Faust]], a hard working and prominent member of the community. Regius replaced JJ as Warlord and would become the second in command, helping JJ out the most. The two kept the guild running stable for a few days, but the inevitable soon would soon arrive.

Abaddon would soon become inactive. Only Octane was able to remove members from the roster, making recruitment near impossible. JJ tried to transfer everyone over to a tag called The Achlys Pillar, which proved to be for the most part, inefficientineffective. By the time Octane's ban was lifted, the guild was beyond repair, and Abaddon disbanded.
