Player history
Version 1
Keplr_ joined earthpol a week after version 1 released. He started his journey by attempting to sail all the way to India, yet died on the way. He temporarily joined the nation of Madagascar, after which he created the city of Tiruvendrapura in India. As a token of gratitude to the nation of Madagascar for their assistance, Keplr built a cobblestone bridge from Madagascar to India. Later, Keplr created the Manpuri Empire with Tiruvendrapura as his capital. He established alliances with matty661's Austria and Chairlatte's Japan, fueled by a trade of carrots between the nations. A few days later, earthpol was hit by a massive grief attack, signaling the closure of version 1. Around this time, Keplr met YouLookTasty, the leader of the Golden Horde.
Version 2
As V1 came to a close, Keplr_ set his sights to India again for V2. He established a pre-release alliance with YouLookTasty, who was set to make the nation of Nan Yue. This eventually caused them to create an alliance for Asian nations, which consisted of 7 member states, including Keplr's Mauryan Empire and YouLookTasty's Nan Yue. Once the server released, Keplr once again departed to India, his course set for Pataliputra, the Mauryan capital. However, on the way there he was killed by a pillager patrol, which caused him to teleport all the way back to central Africa. Keplr therefore temporarily joined YouLookTasty's capital, Hong Kong. However, he eventually permanently settled in the city, abandoning his plans for a large Indian nation.
Keplr_ was now the comayor of Hong Kong, and as the empire of Nan Yue was established, he eventually would become its prime minister. After Nan Yue was created, Keplr was tasked with forging alliances with nearby nations. Around this time, the Roman Empire, one of the largest nations in earthpol history, fell apart due to internal tensions. Many nations took the opportunity to establish control over their former borders; this included France, who also wished to establish alliances with other nations. This led to Keplr meeting seeaaaan (later Atom), who was initially a French diplomat. However, the two would build a lasting friendship, and Atom would later join Hong Kong. For most of version 2, Yue was the sole nation in China. However, a large group from EarthMC came to rival their position - the Qing dynasty, with their seat in Luoyang. Mr. X, their leader, formally approached Yue with a proposal for unification. Yue agreed with a few conditions, including autonomy and government positions for the former Yue government.
Keplr ran for the Qing prime minister at this time, yet did not win in the elections. Yue was also not given their promised autonomy, which caused dissent among the members of the nation. Around this time, Mr. X was banned for using a duped item. This enraged the Qing council, who threatened to create lag machines on the server. Keplr, a member of the council, reported this to the staff, which led to most of the Qing council being banned. Yue formally seceded from the nation and re-established the empire as Qing fell apart. This was followed by a period of inactivity within Yue, as tasty was banned for advertisement. Once YouLookTasty's ban was over, Keplr_ built the Great palace of Yue in Hong Kong, which was the city's biggest building. In an effort to expand the nation, Keplr also created his own town at Angkor Wat. However he eventually moved back to Hong Kong - a few days later, he made a new town called Tiantang near modern day Zhanjiang. The Tiantang-Hong Kong railway was also built by Keplr around this time.
In Version 2, Keplr_ also created 0x News, which regularly competed with Earthpol Live, earthpol's current largest news network. This rivalry would contineu throughout version 2, until Earthpol Live ultimately became the premier news network of Earthpol.
Eventually, a new force emerged in China - 1ett's Qin. Qin and Yue established formal ties initially. However, Japan and Qin eventually came to an agreement to divide most of east Asia amongst themselves. Japan got a large part of southeast Asia and costal China, which included Yue's claims. Qin got India and central Asia, as well as a part of southeast Asia. Tensions rose between Japan and Yue as Qin remained neutral. A siege from Japan on Hong Kong was inevitable. However, to protect the Indian lands from Qin, Keplr_ decided to move to India in order to create the city of Hampi - from there he contacted many Indian local towns to diplomatically pressure Qin into withdrawing from India. Hong Kong was eventually sieged and surrendered to the Japanese empire - the empire of Nan Yue fell, becoming an autonomous region under the Japanese empire. Qin also fell as they lost a war to a global alliance of nations, which included Japan. Keplr temporarily rejoined Hong Kong, where he founded a new religion - 0xism, which he would preach for the rest of version 2 (this also eventually led to him moving to Africa temporarily, until he returned to Hong Kong). In the final days of version 2, Keplr_ left Hong Kong one last time to join another nation. He joined the Ottoman Empire, where he met SkippZ_, their leader. Initially planning to create Cyprus, he eventually became the new mayor of Ankara - this was followed by an unexpected backup failure within the server, which led to the closure of Version 2.
