Xinke Han: Difference between revisions

 

Xinke's name is based on Li Xing-ke, a General in the famous anime "''Code Geass''" known for his great intellect and practically unmatched fighting skills.

 

Xinke first started playing sometime in the month of July of the year 2011. Looking for a ''Zelda''-esque game on the App Store, he would eventually find ''Graal Online Classic'', a title that had graphics very similar to 16-bit games, especially the third ''Legend of Zelda'' title. When he first started, he titled himself "Angel Link" due to his character looking like Link, but with a halo on his head. He would roleplay in the Burger Refuge for a few hours before starting an adventure to explore all of Graal. To do this, he logically thought he would need a horse. However, since he did not have either the house or customization pack, he could not farm in his house safely. Thus, he would begin farming in the wild, near what used to be MoD tower (now Master Li's dojo).

 

And just like that, Xinke was recruited to the Royal Army, a branch of the Royal Guard. He would not know, but this guild would make him stay in Graal for 4 years, spanning his entire time in high school.

 

After being recruited in the Royal Army, Xinke was immediately ordered to the castle, for the purpose of defending the Royal Family from PKers. Obviously, he was very thrilled, having finally something to do. However, as he arrived to the castle, he realized that this new guild wasn't all roses. Firstly, he was ordered to do a very boring job: guard duty. If he did not comply, he would be kicked. Secondly, he was assigned under Kentiman, a commander known for his intolerance of new players. Finally, while Xinke could fight off enemies with roughly 2000 kills, he could not fight against the towerers that had well over 10000 kills. Yet, even with all these negatives, he loved the Royal Guard. He had a purpose. He had a duty. He was important, to some degree, and that was all that mattered. So, everyday, he would log on to ''Graal Online Classic'' for a good three to four hours and guard the throne room of the castle. Not once did he complain, and not once did he disobey the authority. He was the perfect foot soldier; gullible, hard-working, a quick learner and most of all, active. So, in the few days that he was in the Royal Guard, he managed to catch Margrave Auel's attention. At the time, Xinke still had his name of "Hunter of the Dark", a long and easily forgettable name. He also a terrible look. Thus, he asked Auel to name him. The Margrave threw names at him, some mythological, one biblical, and finally, he said "Xinke". To him, it was perfect; quick, short, easy to remember and unique. Thus, "Hunter of the Dark" became Xinke. With this new name, he changed his look to a more knight-like appearance.

 

Soon after the GST, Margrave Auel, who had succeeded King Auel after the latter's death, would propose a plan, to revolutionize the Royal Guard and create something greater, something better than just a Royal Family and a couple of soldiers. It would be an idea, an Eden, a force for good, a player-run government. That idea was Imperia.

 

Before Imperia was made, there was a lot of controversy on the topic. Much like how the State had a lot of controversy when it first started, Imperia was originally deemed a stupid idea. Most Royals deemed Imperia an impossible endeavor, a sort of wild fantasy, while a very small minority thought it was a good idea. Xinke belonged to the former clan. Originally, he thought that Imperia was biting more than you could chew. The Royal Family and the Royal Guard were doing fine, always growing slightly, reaching previously unheard of numbers at roughly 7-10 people online at any time. Imperia just seemed like a good way to disorganize all this and destroy the established order. Some people even thought of rebelling, thus forcing Auel to keep the Royal guilds. However, Auel maintained that Imperia would work, and that the empire had been well planned. And so, people trusted him, and they were not disappointed.

 

As such, the First Imperia died without its leader, with its members scattering and its power dissipating. Yet, the flames of the Imperians would not die out, not now, not ever. They would rise from adversity, conflict, plotting and even admin attacks time and time again, whether under Auel, Xinke or Zaer's kingship. The Legacy was not ending, it was only beginning.

 

As Imperia crashed, Xinke entered a time of uncertainty. He could remain with the friends he had made in Imperia and hopefully re-create something worthy, or he could start towering and become more active within the popular community of towerers to pursue his goals of becoming an admin. This would be the revolving theme of his trailblazing and would eventually culminate in his decision to follow Auel in his quest for a player government, abandoning his own dream in the process.

 

As such, on the 10th day, Xinke received the message from Auel, inviting him to join the Shinra Corporation.

 

Shinra started quite dramatically, with the proposal of a plan to revolutionize Graal by creating a corporation that would manage all trade between Graalians. Whether it be simple code trading or large transactions of guilds, Shinra would have a hand in it, and most of all, a share of it. Shinra would span much larger than Imperia simply because it would not require physical combat to settle disputes of territory, but simply economic power and political connections. As such, the full potential of Imperia's officer core could be used for the singular purpose of managing and running an economy.

 

Shinra crashed after a mere two weeks, as its members dwindled, its profit shrank and its officers left. Xinke was one of the last few to leave, along with Auel and Troubadour. All three of them believed in Shinra until the end, knowing that an economic empire would be a fantastic thing to manage, but alas, Graal was not and would never be ready.

 

Following the crash of Shinra, Xinke went trailblazing once again. This time around, he began exploring his combat abilities much more instead of focusing on what he wanted. As such, during this time, Xinke's player kills jumped from 1200 to roughly 2100. With this growth in skills, the young captain also talked with his old pals from Imperia. That is when he heard rumors of the rebirth of Imperia. Obviously, he was quite thrilled to know Imperia was coming back, yet he remembered the failures of both the Imperial Cavalry and the Shinra Housing Division. As such, he seeked to improve from his mistakes and underwent special preparations.

 

At last, after 10 days of waiting, Xinke was recruited to the new Imperia by Auel himself.

 

The Second Incarnation of Imperia began with a meeting that included all captains, commanders and royal family members. Well over fourteen Imperians showed up to this meeting, eagerly awaiting the start of the new empire. The meeting began with Auel exploring once again the goal of Imperia, this time straying away from conquering towers and focusing more on building a player-built and player-run society. This concept of having a military built as a real empire, with civilians and soldiers, was not unknown to Imperia, however it had not been a top priority previously. This time however, Imperia was focused on being an actual empire and not just a bunch of roleplayers running around. As such, as with every Kingdom, there was a need for a King. Auel was unanimously chosen as King, and thus began handing out tasks. Firstly, he decreed that all guilds could have their own rank system (as in the first Imperia), however they could not make ranks higher than the co-captain/lieutenant, so as to stop power creeping from newer soldiers. Secondly, he assigned all of his previous Commanders and High Officers to lead elite guilds, guilds that would be composed of only the best soldiers. Finally, all Captains or newly appointed Commanders would manage a standard guild that would serve a specific purpose within the Army.

 

 

The meeting ended with Auel ordering that Darkblade would be the meeting place of the High Officers, and that SNC would become the main base of operations. As such, all of Imperia headed to SNC to explore the building.[[Category:People]]
