Shark

Shark Greatwhite (Naviagaran: Shark tho Karčarodon; born 97 AJC) is the current Keinomal of the Greatwhite Isles since 214 AJC. He previously ruled from 158 AJC until his temporary abdication, which was originally thought to be his death on 187 AJC. Shark has also served as the Jarl of Atoan Regalia under Frostmarch, and held the position of consul several times in the First Atoan Republic.

==The Beginning of Shark==
Before gaining consciousness, Shark was just a simple Great White Shark swimming in the Sorligste Seas. Whilst endlessly swimming Shark had come across a man wearing a suit floating through the water, struggling to stay above the water. He was mistaken for a seal and eaten by Shark, and he went on swimming. Within the hour Shark had thrown up the eaten man, except the bones of the man weren't there just the suit, In seconds the suit had wrapped itself around Shark, putting itself on him. Turning Shark into a man, and bringing him to consciousness.
Shark had washed up in Southern Sorligste, wandering into a nearby birch forest. He was confused, and unsure of what had happened. But he had an itching feeling to cut down a tree and make a house, and so he did. Eventually Shark met other people, people who had decided to live with him. His brain was still evolving, he begun to understand what this was becoming, it was becoming a town, Thus claiming this land as Atopolis.
==The Enlightenment Of Shark==
As Atopolis grew, and Shark made new friends, he had become aware that he had begun his town within the land of Pirates, and with his Shark brain still developing, decided to rebel against the pirate state. Plans had begun to be lain, allies were made and members were convinced that the pirates must go. Until the "Great Error". In Sharks attempt to use a political situation to his advantage (and some bad intel from a spy) Shark was betrayed by Yimmu-Audal and turned into the Pirate Empire of Tortuga, who had, until now not known of his town. TheSexyCanadian had arrived to the town, and told Shark of his situation, Join or Die, Begrudgingly Shark Agreed and joined the pirates.
2 Days after Atopolis had joined Tortuga, Shark was approached by a player named Mat, who offered a part in larger rebellion called "The Red Turban Rebellion". Shark jumped at this offer, still under estimating Tortugas power and over estimating the rebellions strength. The rebellion was betrayed by a Rebel named Adilol.
Shark had finally understood the situation and using the help of MakkisPekkis and Zach Maloney, Mended relationships with TheSexyCanadian. Shark was invited to the new rebellion, Shark turned over all information of the Rebellions ongoings to TheSexyCanadian. During the Coalition war, Shark had convinced the Rebellion to move out of Tortuga and into Bardonia,
==Sharks Rise to Power==
For his actions with the Rebellion Shark was given his own Region to Captain over, And thus the Region of Ato was founded. The region of Ato grew fast. Shark sending many to construct towns birthing the towns of Athiel and Mesrea, who would some become large players within the Region of Ato. Windcliff by this point had carved itself a portion of land in the north on the coast of Sorligste, and while disconnected from the mainland of the Region, the connection between the towns had never been stronger. Working together these towns had grown themselves to be some of the largest existing towns in Sorligste. Ato also had plenty of small towns around that assisted with this growth. 
While the other towns grew in size and population, Shark began work on Atopolis, constructing housing, government buildings, roads and much more. With the population of all the towns rising, support raised for Shark being in charge, while others would like others in charge, Nobody had really wanted to contest Shark for a leadership position. The government was working, but just barely.
Footnote: During this period Atopolis had a mock war with its neighbor to the north Norvos. Shark had devised a simple pincer attack to take the city, and succeeded going on to lead Atopolis and it's citizens to a 4-0 win in the mock war.
== Sharks Brief Mission to Kill the Lorax==
Bored, and sitting around Atopolis not wanting to do more work to the town, Shark had decided to cut down every tree in Ato. On the first day, he had cut down around 300 trees, all outside the front gate of Atopolis. Posting his new to the worldwide boards to share his new mission of the death of the Lorax. Waking the next morning to find people have begun to denounce him for his mission! Shark had begun to get wrapped in himself. "How bad can I be? I'm just doing what comes naturally. How bad can I be? I'm just following my destiny. How bad can I possibly be?" -Shark had thought to himself, worried.He had then come to the conclusion he was not in the wrong, It's just a few trees. On Day two Shark had awoken to a new forest, planted by his enemies in this mission, it was cut down with ease, Shark was getting good at this. By day 3, his mission was complete and was spent tallying his total
41,114 Logs Cut, 6,051 Trees
==The Birth of Ato==
On September 9th, 2021, TheSexyCanadian had contacted Shark, going into the conversation Shark was unsure what it was about. Until the first question was asked."What would you value your land at?"It was then Shark knew what was coming, An offer at independence, his chance to carve out a piece of history in this world of super powers. Shark had responded with $5,000,000 He knew the worth of this land, and it's value. He had decided no matter the price given he would meet it. eventually the price of $800,000. For now this was to be kept secret for TheSexyCanadian didn't want this new leaking to early. Only having 500k to his name at the time, Shark began looking for investors, and he found them. Antonag, BigPapaGrim, Hippo and Zeus. Together they pledged the extra 300k Shark needed.
And then on September 17th, 2021, The deal was set to go through, $800,000 paid in Gold Blocks. Just like that Ato was now independent, and so forth was the Republic of Ato birthed. Snap elections were called, with the town leaders and key political figures running for Consulship. The race has yet to end. 
The Race ended Shortly after, With Shark Greatwhite and MakkisPekkis winning Consulship, 
== Stagnation in Ato==
Despite Shark and Makkis's many tries, Ato was on a downfall, census numbers slowly dropped, Election attendance was at an all time low. Bills were put forward to try to spark and upswing, A reconstruction of Atopolis was organized and announced. But even that did not work. This lasted for most of the month of October.
==The Scariest thing to happen on Halloween==
Shark Greatwhite woke to news of coup and rebellion to his neighbour in the north. Severos was taken over by Elzaress and Ookami, An Empress and Emperor. Whilst the Empress wanted to see her nation grow and prosper, Her Husband only saw red. Anger at Ato for just exisiting. News was leaked to Shark about the now Empire of Leveros's plans to invade most of Sorligste, and beg Tortuga for the rest. And Thus plans were put into to place
==The Birth of the Grand Sorligste Federation==
On November 1st, The 3 members that will soon to create the Grand Sorligste Federation were gathered, Shark, Jayant and Starlorde. Much work was to be done, but it was a start.
In Secret, we had begun talking to the citizens of the now Empire, only to find major unrest, even going as far as people leaving there homes to escape the Empire. 
November 2nd, Much work was done and there was still more left, many more have joined the group, even at this point having half the empire to agree to secession into the Grand Sorligste Federation. The Governmental System we see today was also constructed. Justification for war and an Ultimatum to be delivered was organized and made as well.
November 3rd, This was the day the GSF made itself known. At the call of the Empress stepping down. Secession was called and the Grand Sorligste Federation was officially created and announced. We gave Ookami a peaceful way out and proof his own nation didnt want him and his loyalists. He refused in a pure state of anger and declared war on the GSF. 
There was soon a standoff in Port Leon. Nobody wanted to fight first, Ookami and his Loyalists had the GSF out geared, with 6 full netherite soldiers standing in front of a group of diamond and iron. A few GSF Soldiers had died, with no casualties to the Loyalists. About an hour later they surrendered the final region that remain loyal to them."fuck it, take the region, we don't want the headache" -O_Beep, Council Member of The Empire of LeverosAnd just like that the Grand Sorligste Federation was born, Elections have been called for a Head of State and it's Shoulders. 
Shark Greatwhite won the Election for Head of State with 69% of the National vote (Out of 102 Voters) 
Jayant and Maloney Zach won the Shoulder Seats 
I also got the Crown of Sorligste by the old leader of the preivous united Sorligste, Still have it to as of 16/7/2022 
==The Life, And Death of the Grand Sorligste Federation==
The Grand Sorligste Federation was bound together in the face of Imperalist threats on the continent, and with these threats removed the GSF found itself without a purpose. Without purpose, people, especailly nations, can make themselves dangerous, not only to others but to themselves. When presented an opprotunity to fight Imperalists in the Uldarash Civil War, Shark had brought this offer to the people due to a lack of senate at the time, and he let the people decide. This would turn out to be the worst idea of his career. The people decided to assist the Loyalist cause and goto war with Uldarash. After alot of politics, and disputes, Shark went to the first battle of the Uldarash Civil war (Technically the second but this was the first one allies were allowed to participate in) in Terroja. The loss was devasting. Over 100 casualites on the defending forces, and only 1 on the offensive. Shark was struck down at this battle, saved only by his suit who would not let him die, Shark learns more about his suit everyday, this seems to be a new perk, Immortality. Nevertheless Sharks full set of God Netherite was lost in this battle.
The Death of the GSF came shortly after this battle, With Leveros purchasing $200,000 worth of land from Khand (Formerly Pyylandia) and declaring on the GSF, the catch was Uldarash made Leveros a protectorate, meaning that in the oncoming war against Leveros, Uldarash would be coming to. Shark began to rally the military at the town of Argadon with the local leader Zucc, but this was a battle he could not win. So after negotiations and backroom politics a vote was brought to the citizens, a vote to allow Frostmarch to annex the GSF. The vote passed, the following message was broadcasted to all citizens.The End of The Grand Sørligste Federation The GSF was born with a dream, and with a fight. On November 3rd 2021, The Grand Sørligste Federation was created, and expelled Leveros out of Sørligste. This was not from a place of malice, These were our friends before they betrayed us. The last thing we wanted was to fight them again. The rule of Leveros over it’s people was found brutal, they were not thrown out for no reason, The people came together, not just nations, not just governments. But the people came together, and drove out this menace, this threat to all of our enjoyment of stoneworks. But they've come back, and are waging war on our homes once again, with the force of Uldarash behind it. I am unwilling to send my people into a war I am not confident we can win. And with that, With the emergency powers granted to me by the senate of the Grand Sørligste Federation, I hereby cede the GSF lands to Frostmarch. My job was not to protect the lands of the Grand Sørligste Federation, But to protect its people and with this move, I feel like I have done so, For under the rule of Leveros, they will never be safe. To my citizens, do not be sad at the Grand Sørligste Federation falling, Be happy at the friends you made along the way, Though the GSF may have fallen, our culture, standards, and lives continue. And to those that have been here the longest, we are just back to our roots, But this time, with Norvians and Atoans as friends. I'm glad each and everyone of you could be here for this, I wouldn't have it any other way On a personal note, I will be leaving Sørligste, The betrayal, the drama, and the fighting has driven me to hold nothing but disdain and sadness for the land. I feel like I have failed Sørligste, and the people that inhabit it’s lands. I want it to be known though, I never did anything that I thought would hurt my people, I never intended to put them in this danger. But down to the roots, the brass tacks. It is all my fault No matter the name on the map, where you go to live, you will always be my people, Sørligste is the people, not just the place. I Love you all -Shark Greatwhite, Ex-Head of State of The Grand Sørligste FederationAs of November 24th 2021 approx 9pm EST the GSF was no more.
==The Exile of Shark==
Sharks exile took him to reside in O-Block, the old nation of Vereden that he had once defended, under the same leadership but a diffrent name. Struggling to find purpose in his new life, a life without Sorligste. Shark began to help out around the town, by tearing down one of it's structures. Shark spent 4 long days tearing down 100 blocks worth of floors before reaching the one he set himself on. During this project he thought alot about his self driven exile. A Return to SorligsteShark Greatwhite sat in his apartment in Oblock, Roof above him crumpling from the deconstruction process of the Hafederean Towers he once protected. Pondering his self-exile Shark came upon a thought "Had I failed by trying to make Sorligste better, Or had I truly failed by giving up when I did not succeed" Realizing this Shark looked to his desk, a note, an offer. A way back into Sorligste. Offered by @Frug High Jarl of FS on break for Shark Greatwhite to make a return to Sorligste, and be a Jarl of West Ato. While this is a step down from his usual place of power, That being Mayor of Atopolis, A Consul of Ato, and then Head of State for the Grand Sorligste Federation, it felt odd not being at the top of the power dynamic. But Shark knew that in order to make change, like he had once before he must begin again, The Shark that colonized Central Sorligste when many had left it behind, takes his attention West, For all deserve to live on such a continent, Like the Continent deserves good to live among it. Shark Greatwhite will be returning to Sorligste, with a new way of looking at things, No more is it for the glory of man,elf, or other race. It is for the conservation and the continuation of life and peace in Sorligste, and Rathnir as a wholeGloriann RathnirAnd back off to Sorligste Shark went, to start another journey.
==Sharks Time in Frostmarch ==
Shark spent a notable amount of time in Frostmarch as a member of it's Jarl Council, Starting in November before retiring in April, Which at the time of writing would be 1/2 of his time on Rathnir. At the beginning of his Career Shark started as the Jarl of Atoan Regalia, founding the town of Serenity on November 31st. In Serenitys first few days of existence, the Lorentish squatter claim of Belmont would be found out to be living on the other side of a large hill from Serenity. The squatter claim was dealt with shortly, with the Lorentish citizens moving to squat in Tortuga to be kicked out again to settle in Lorent as Terremont. Shark would lead Atoan Regalia to become the most active Jarldom in Frostmarch, with great success coming out of the three towns in Esma (a region in Atoan Regalia), Serenity, Valfenhein and Fruland. Shark spent 2 months ruling over Atoan Regalia, seeing major success the whole way. It was on January 6th where Shark would then unify Atoan Regalia with the rest of Ato naming the new Jarldom "Unified Ato" which was later renamed to just "Ato". Shark ruled over Ato as Jarl for a total of 4 months, growing Ato to becoming 50% of the Frostmarch population. However as time grew on Shark became bored of Frostmarch, with stagnant politics, an unchanging nation, and rampant inactivity throughout the rest of Frostmarch. For Sharks final month he began working his private island which he purchased 3 months prior. Within a month "Greatwhite Island" was created and would end up becoming where Shark spent all his time. Greatwhite Island eventually grew into becoming "Greatwhite-Isles" as Shark began adding islands for housing and farming. On April 5th Greatwhite Isles became an independent city state, thus ending Sharks time in Frostmarch. Sharks time in Frostmarch could be described as "Bitter-Sweet"
==Greatwhite Atoanate==
This will document Sharks months in his latest nation of the Greatwhite Atoanate.
======First Golden Era======
April-September 2022
After gaining independence from Frostmarch on April 5th, Shark began recruiting as fast as his fins could wrangle new citizens. Roughly 3-5 citizens joined the town per week during this month, Most of it was spent putting up houses and continuing to develop the Greatwhite Isles. two major pacts were drawn up with the Greatwhite Isles neighbours on Sorligste, a Military Alliance with Consau and a Military Alliance with Frostmarch. Both annexed into other nations in the present. Even for a new fledgling nation Greatwhite Isles boasted a powerful activity rate with having 5-8 players on daily.
May saw continued growth and activity for the Greatwhite Isles, Kaluna Island saw expansion and had a large apartment building placed on it to further better house new citizens coming to the Greatwhite Isles. GWI had actually seen a brief housing crisis when mysterious laws of the universe would not let us place more than 148 tiles in a chunk, I am continued to be flabbergasted by what this means, but the most we know is that we could not develop the final 3 floors of the apartment building. During the month of May Shark had taken up work for Tortuga, He had went across the continent of Sorligste recruiting for the capitals of each captaincy of Tortuga. It was mildly successful recruiting around 20 people to the continent, the biggest obstacle being the captains inability to plan ahead, making Sharks job all that more difficult, That task would not be completed until mid June. During this month the Greatwhite Isles also saw itself create a proper styled government, the future was looking bright for the GWI
June saw more roleplay come to the Greatwhite Isles, such as it's own language, identity, and local newspaper. more building was happening aswell, not in the Greatwhite Isles but it's neighbouring town of Raskara. Raskara was part of "Esma County" a county within the Atoan Region of Tortuga. This was officially gained on June 15th after Shark had "completed" his recruitment job, aswell as paying Ulifer an extra $100,069 to make up for two missed captaincys. after getting Esma county Raskara was merged into the Greatwhite Isles capital. New ocean was also purchased from Savernia allowing the Greatwhite Isles to be given extra space to build more, a palace was erected for the royal family and members of the government to live in, whilst using the old site of the castle for plans of a Museum and Library expansion predicted to be finished early August.
July was a good month for the Greatwhite Isles, growth was steady, Kunnism was becoming wildly practiced and accepted, as well as people learning Navigaran. Greater Greatwhite (Previously/AKA Raskara) had seen lots of development that would last for a couple months more, during this month the Greatwhite Claim would crack at 180 citizens, entering August with nothing but high spirits, and great pride for Greatwhite 
August seemed grimmer then the previous months, Greatwhite Isles had entered an offensive war against The Lorent and subsequently The Horde alongside Tortuga and her allies. The first battle took place at Relmont - The Capital of The Lorent, Later known as "The Siege of Relmont" ended in a Tortugan loss, with Lorent and it's allies camping the top of a mountain and throwing any enemy off that came near to the top. Pirate Lord Fury, who had become in charge during the war had surrendered and fled Tortuga after only the one battle. Practically handing over Sorligste on a silver platter to the Lorent. The Lorent wasted no time grabbing as much ex-tortugan territory as they could. Gaining Ato, Frostmarch, and the Kronesian Peninsula. Greatwhite Isles, Soumere Serenus, Aaytelli and the Featherian Federation remained the only other nations on the Sorligstan mainland, cementing the Lorent as the dominant power. the rest of August was fairly quiet, spending the last two weeks of the month just attempting to make sense of what just happened. Greatwhite Isles entered September humbled and quiet.
=== Failed Expansion Era ===
October-December 2022
Greatwhite Isles had attempted to begin expanding it's territory, first going to war with the Republic of Vistallia. They however cowardly fled into the borders of Carvinia, and now became under Horde protection. The next attempt was to be a joint war with OBlock against Levithan, however they also fled into the loving arms of Tortuga, and they were then protected by DUTY
=== The Dark Ages ===
December 2022 - Feburary 2023 
During this time Shark Greatwhite and much of Greatwhite Isles population had vanished, The Keinoterra fell apart, and eventually rebuilt itself into a democratic oligarchy. However this institution was plagued with corruption and eventually fell into darkness. Dragoncrepper had rose to power and declared war on the Lorent, assisted by the Parahands the Greatwhite Isles led by Dragoncrepper successfully took Relmont from Lorent due to Colethekeeper underestimating Greatwhite Isles
=== The Second Golden Age ===
Feburary - Present 2023
Shark Greatwhite and many citizens who had dissapeared months ago returned, Shark Greatwhite being made Keinomal again led the Greatwhite Isles from ruin to prosperity once again. On April 5th securing vassalship from Lorent Shark Greatwhite has steadily been growing the Greatwhite Isles back to it's current standings, with ~275 citizens living accross Greatwhite lands.
