EmeraldJaguar is an active player and plans to play on Purity for a long time. Being a beginner at redstone (without the use of tutorials) and a novice at PvP, EJ spends most of his time on the server building and making farms. The cape he wears has been made into many banners which he leaves at notable locations he discovers on his travels.

## History

### The Beginning

Weeks of boredom in lockdown led EJ into looking for new servers. Fascinated by the idea of anarchy, but strongly against the use of hacks, he found Purity Vanilla and logged onto the server. Immediately greeted by cobblestone, EJ turned around to see lavacasts in every direction and immediately the server met his anarchic expectations.

Being a complete new fag, EJ found escaping spawn difficult, but eventually was greeted by a portal and was whisped away into the nether, where he spent several minutes on the highway before he found another portal. He stepped through and knew that when he reached the other side, his journey on Purity would begin.

### Unity

While making a small starter house (around 4-5 thousand blocks from spawn) with an AFK fisher and mining to make his first diamond set of gear, EJ began to look for other new players who wanted to start a faction together. He began to talk to ACDC3783, a player who had joined about 2 weeks before him and had also set up his own starter base.

After meeting up with ACDC for the first time, the pair decided to end raid. After gathering a few elytras and some mending gear, they returned to spawn where they met up with EJ's friend Tiger\_Try. EJ suggested they call the group Unity and they agreed. Later that day, he made the Unity Banner.

The 3 travelled through the nether wasteland for many hours before finding a good spot to settle down, and when they did, they built houses and ACDC established a few auto farms including an iron farm and farms for most crops. EJ spent his time building a large scale villager trading hall, which towards the end of Unity developed into more of an emerald factory.

After a lot of work on his house at Unity City, EJ discovered that people were choosing to play on queue server, and this intrigued him. He joined a discord called Master Baiters, owned by Creep Assassin, and learnt of a whole fishing community on queue.

Unity members were starting to play a little less, so EJ took the opportunity and got involved with this community. Weeks passed, and he was having such a great time on the queue server with the small yet tight-knit community. When Creep announced that a Moderator role had come available, EJ took his chance and spent 30 minutes writing the perfect application. He became Moderator on 01/06/2020 and has kept that position ever since, dedicating time and ideas to the discord.

### Aura

After becoming fed up that the other members were playing a lot less, EJ merged with The Council to create a joint faction. EJ suggested the group name of 'Aura' which everyone agreed on, and he made a banner which he thought fitted the name.

EJ worked on a futuristic megabase on the sea, doing much of the designing and called it the 'QuadraTube', with other members dubbing it 'The Glass City'. Many weeks and immense amounts of white concrete and glass were spent on this base, and it would've taken at least 6 months of consistent work to complete, according to the group's predictions.

It was during EJ's final days at Aura, that he launched Purity Events, a discord server that he would spend a lot of time working on perfecting. He had been speaking to his friend Rayyze about how he thought that the information and planning for events on purity needed to be in one location, and went ahead and made the discord, receiving positive praise from both Penguin and Boone within days of launching it.

The QuadraTube was griefed on the 14th of June 2020 by ItzFreaks, being only 15% complete at the time, but with over 30 shulker boxes of white concrete already placed. Freaks found the base after he found out that it was near an abandoned base called Providus. After the grief, the group separated and EJ returned to Vibe's old base with him, where he collaborated on the mapart 'Misty' and did lots of occasional PaCo 2 work, staying until mid August when he left in search of a faction to join.

### Children of Athena

On the 3rd of September, EJ became a member of the trading and farming based faction Children of Athena, more commonly known as CoA, as he was already friendly with multiple group members. After arriving at CoA, it was griefed shortly after, so the group set out on a location to establish a new base. EJ was inactive throughout this period due to exams, so never made the trip to the new base before it was again griefed by Chadlets. Many blamed EJ for these griefs and accused him of leaking the coordinates, but the truth eventually came out that his friend Lacksal had betrayed CoA and leaked the bases both times. This was a relief for EJ to stop getting the finger pointed at him, but it came as a great shock that the real culprit was a friend.

### Activity

Currently, due to real life commitments and school keeping him busy, EJ hasn't been as active on the server as he once was, with him rarely being online since the November 2020. He plans to re-establish himself on the server this summer. April 21st 2021 marks exactly one year since he first joined the server, and he looks back fondly on the many memories that were formed during that time, excited to get back into it as soon as possible.
