Barragan began playing Graal in 2010, and joined the [[Graal Military Community]] in 2011. He partook in many notable early military guilds such as the foundational [[The Royal Guard\|Royal Guard]], [[Auel#The Alliance\|The Alliance]], [[Imperia]], and [[The State]]. Most notably he was a Knight in the 2011 Royal Guard, second-in-command of The Alliance, and a general officer and senior leader in The State and the Graal military community at large. He founded the last name "Barragan," with honorary titles given to [[Xiaoguard\|Gorgo]], [[Ajax (Boris) Atlas Kaage Barragan\|Ajax]], Octane, Caius, and [[Azerius]]. ~~=== '''Roxas M. Barragan''' ===~~ ~~Roxas has been in Graal since the early time in 2010. He has been in~~ many notable guilds such as the original Royal Guard, and The Alliance. He is one of the few last standing members of the original Royal Guard that is still here today. He founded the last name "Barragan" some time after The State dissolved. He is the only member of the family, with exception of the honorary title he gave to Gorgo and Ajax. ==History== ~~== '''The Military Beginning- The Royal Guard '''(Original/Pre-Imperia) ==~~ ===The Royal Guard (Pre-Imperia/2011) === One day while playing Graal Roxas went into the castle to notice it had been occupied by members of The Royal Guard. Roxas began to mess around with them by PK'ing their leader, Auel. The fun was short lasted as Auel brushed him off and did not say anything. Awing at this attitude<nowiki> </nowiki>he had, Roxas decided to guard Auel on the throne. After several minutes of doing so, Auel invited him to The Royal Guard where he started as an Apprentice. Roxas' introduction to The Royal Guard began, like many other members, in the Castle throne room. The Royal Guard had the duty of protecting the royal family, and sometimes [[Auel]], their leader, as they sat on the throne. Roxas initially, like many other Graalians at the castle, attempted to break their defenses and PK Auel. While sometimes successful, after a short while he gave up and ended up joining the other guards in their duty. He was eventually recruited by Auel to the guild this way, and began his Graal Military journey as an Apprentice within The Royal Guard. ~~=== Conflicts Within The Royal Guard ===~~ After some time with the Guard, a rival organization appeared and contested the throne. A battle consisting of attempting to physically capturing the throne by sitting in it ensued. Eventually The Royal Guard had withered to only a single Knight, The Wandering Troubadour, and Roxas against a single assailant. The Royal Guard proved victorious and Roxas earned the title Knight immediately after. Promoted by The Wandering Troubadour, Roxas later went on to receive rank and kick powers within the guild (in Graal's old guild system the power to change rank and kick were separate and given individually to members of senior authority by the guild leader). The rank of Knight was eventually changed to Sir to be more historically accurate. Roxas took part in a battle with a (now) unknown group. This is where he earned his rank Knight after successfully beating<nowiki> </nowiki>the enemy in a "Capture the Throne" type game. He was promoted by Troubadour, and later received rank and kick powers within The Royal Guard. Roxas was noted by Kentiman to be one of Auel's favorite guards. ~~=== Notes of The Royal Guard ===~~ ===The Alliance=== ~~Noted by Kentiman to be one of Auel's favorites.~~ Due to his past experience in The Royal Guard, he was appointed second in command of The Alliance. In addition, he later became Auel's officially appointed secretary. From this title, he was given a desk in Auel's library, located at his guild house. The job of secretary was mostly ceremonial and held little to no actual clerical duty. ===Imperia=== ~~== '''The Alliance''' ==~~ Roxas began Imperia in its First Era and continued through to the later eras of 2012. The "eras" of Imperia were separated by Auel's frequent and abrupt inactivity, and, as such, Roxas also periodically went inactive. His original Graal account, being unverified, was eventually lost in one of the longer bouts of inactivity during this time. Prior to this, Roxas would utilize the then popular UDID spoofing method to maintain his account on new devices. ===The Baby Punchers Association=== ~~After the fall of The Royal Guard, Roxas moved onto the next guild Auel had to offer, The Alliance.~~ Popularized by the inclusion of default heads and the daycare center, Graal saw an uptick of the number of Graalians who would dress and act like babies. Auel and many others in the Graal military community saw to end this phenomenon in Graal. ~~=== Notable Accomplishments ===~~ The bulk of the activities, primarily taking place during the eras of Imperia, involved Auel dressing up as a baby and luring the unsuspecting targets in his house, while simultaneously the clansmen would hide in bushes ready to attack. Once inside the guild house, they would spring from the bushes and ambush the baby. Another activity participated in by Roxas and the guild was blocking babies chat in the daycare center to the frequent dismay of Graal administration which was quick to reset chat, warp, and even ban guild members. ~~Roxas quickly became 2nd in command of The Alliance, and later became Auel's officially appointed secretary. Where he was given a desk in Auel's library.~~ === The State=== ~~During his time, Roxas had helped Auel take down a notorious hacker (name unknown).~~ After several years of inactivity after Imperia Roxas was recruited to State Infantry I, lead by Vulnus at the time. He was promoted through the ranks to Sergeant, skipping the ranks below it. While he was scheduled to be promoted to Command Sergeant Major, representing every NCO and Enlisted man in State, this was never achieved as Auel quit Graal before the official promotion could happen. Roxas stayed within the State, now lead by [[Vulnus]], however the promotion was not honored and Roxas maintained his original rank. Several days after Auel had quit, The State was declining fast, so Roxas took a break from Graal, before joining back to lead in the newer eras of The State and other military guilds. Within the many eras of State and the military community at large, Roxas has held many senior positions and ranks. ~~=== The End of The Alliance ===~~ ====Notable Ranks Under Auel and Approved Leaders of The State==== ~~One day, without much notice, considering Roxas was not on; The Alliance had been taken over, or something had happened.~~ Captain of State Infantry I Lieutenant Colonel - Head of Military Affairs ~~== '''Imperia''' ==~~ Chief Warrant Officer - Head of the Military Police ~~=== First Era ===~~ Roxas began in Imperia for the first era, however it was short lived and Roxas never made it around to the later eras due to software failure on the current device he was using at time, a First Generation iPod Touch (It has since been repaired by the more knowledgeable Roxas today and is still functioning). ~~== '''Baby Killing Guild''' (Possibly Baby Puncher Association, time-frame unknown) ==~~ During his time there, Roxas participated in many covert ops in taking the babies down. Auel would dress up as a baby and lure the unsuspecting targets in, while the clansmen would hide in bushes in Auel’s Guild House. Once the baby entered, they would spring from the bushes and ambush the baby. While this activity was practiced from time to time within Imperia, it was the soul purpose within this guild. ~~=== The End of The Baby Killing Guild ===~~ ~~Again, without much notice, everyone inside of the guild slowly went~~ ~~inactive. For several weeks Roxas stayed on waiting for someone, but no one showed up. Because of this, Roxas went along with everyone else and~~ ~~quit Graal.~~ ~~== '''Period of Inactivity''' ==~~ After being unable to play Graal due to the low quality in which Apple products are manufactured, Roxas went into a period of inactivity. The time of inactivity caused Roxas to lose his original account, which had accumulated thousands of hours and many hats and mounts rarely seen today. The Period of Inactivity would last several years, with nations such as Imperia and<nowiki> </nowiki>The State rising while he was gone. ~~== '''Return''' ==~~ Several years had passed, and Roxas showed up on Graal. He had discovered he no longer had his original account, and was forced to make<nowiki> </nowiki>a new one. He then conducted his usual rounds of checking on everyone, Troubadour was still gone and many others too. But when he finally got around to Auel, he had noticed he was now active again and leading a nation known as The State. This was the start of Roxas getting back into<nowiki> </nowiki>Graal. ~~== '''The State''' ==~~ ~~=== The Beginning ===~~ Roxas had been recruited to State Infantry I, lead by Vulnus at the time. He was promoted through the ranks to Sergeant, skipping the ranks below it. Roxas was scheduled to be promoted to Command Sergeant Major, representing every NCO and Enlisted man in State. However Roxas never achieved this as Auel quit Graal before the official promotion could happen. Roxas stayed within the State, now lead by Vulnus, however the promotion was not honored and Roxas stayed his original rank. Several days after Auel had quit, State was declining very fast, so Roxas took a break from Graal, before joining back to the newer States and other ~~military.~~ ~~=== The State ===~~ ~~Within the many eras within State, Roxas has held many positions and ranks.~~ ~~==== Notable Ranks Under Approved Leaders of State ====~~ Captain of State Infantry I * Lieutenant Colonel - Head of Military Affairs * Chief Warrant Officer - Head of the Military Police * Various General Officer Positions (Brigadier General-Lieutenant General) * Various Field Grade Officer Positions (Major-Colonel) * Various Company Grade Officer Positions (2nd Lieutenant-Captain) * Various Non-~~Commission~~Commissioned Officer Positions (Sergeant-Command Sergeant Major of The State (Select)) * Roxas has never held an enlisted rank. ===Towering=== ~~== '''Band of the Hawk''' ==~~ [[File:Hat prowess1kBigCrop.png\|thumb\|150x150px\|Prowess' 1K Hat]] After participating in numerous military guilds, Roxas tried his hand at another side of Graal: towering. He began towering with Prowess, a former sub guild of the 2012 towering guild, Anarchy. In the old guild system, after reaching 1,000 towering hours, a guild was able to submit their own custom hat for the guild's 25 members. Roxas joined Prowess at 400 hours, and through consistent towering was able to secure a hat spot. After reaching 1,000 hours on July 8th, 2015, Prowess was eligible to submit a guild hat. The submission of the hat, however, was considerably delayed due to internal reasons. While waiting, Graal administrators announced that a change to the Guild system was occurring and that 1K hats would be done away with, among other things. Guilds would have until May 31st, 2016 to reach 1K hours, but no firm deadline to submit 1K hats by was given. Several months passed with no progress on the hat, and Graal administrators finally gave word to Prowess a final date they would accept submission by. Given a deadline, Prowess expedited the hat making progress. Submitted at the last minute in late 2016, a year and a half after reaching 1,000 hours and several months passed the deadline, the Prowess 1K was very likely the last 1K hat to be awarded in Graal. ~~== '''Quotes''' ==~~ ~~On many occasions, Roxas will PM a player with the Cigarette shield this:~~ = Gallery = "Secondhand<nowiki> </nowiki>smoke kills, you know. It’s far worse than the fumes you inhale directly. Take diethylene, one of those nasty carcinogens your doctor might have warned you about on your last visit. Firsthand smoke has between 5.3 and 43 nanograms of diethylene, whereas, secondhand smoke has 680 and 823 nanograms.Then we’ve got quinoline, another effective one, secondhand smoke has 18,000 nanograms; 11 times more than the amount you’re sucking down firsthand. You can make the choice to blacken your lungs, but don’t expect to enforce that on me." <gallery> Roxas2011NoWings.png\|Roxas, 2010-2012.
