## Biography

### Early Life

Zhuge Yunchang was born in 1983 to an Asian family in Oregon to a family of four. His idol is ancient Chinese warrior Guan Yu, and dresses up as him since he was 23 years old and routinely carries the Green Dragon Crescent Blade whenever permitted. He is extremely interested in Chinese literature and practises martial arts. He joined the Libertarian Party when he was 25 years old. He has 3 sons named Zhuge Dingguo, Zhuge Anguo and Zhuge Suo, as well as a daughter called Zhuge Yinping.

### As Pacifica Representative

Zhuge ran for Representative of Pacifica in 2020. At first he had a joke opponent in the name of Jeb Bush II, which got him bipartisan endorsements due to the insanity of Bush. However, Bush soon died for unknown reasons, and Zhuge easily won unopposed. He formed the Republican-Libertarian caucus alongside Mortimer Marshall, Mike Joyce and Gordon Ng.

In the 2020 election, he endorsed and actively supported Josh Liberty, and appeared in multiple of his campaign events. During his term, he advocated for the abolishment of the Electoral College and successfully lobbied it to pass both chambers of Congress, but there were not enough states ratifying it.

### As Pacifica Senator

#### First Term

Zhuge originally planned to run for reelection, and was up against Democrat challenger Betty Nelson. However after Connor Brewer's resignation as Pacifica Senator he opted to run for Senate instead, citing personal reasons for not being able to campaign close to Election Day. He won the race unopposed once again.

During his term in the Senate, he wrote a bill to prevent rape victims from getting sued for child support as well as more notably, a bill to make the Senate more efficient as it was attacked by the public for being slow. He was the only Republican-Libertarian in the Senate at first, but supported and campaigned for multiple challengers in special elections that eventually turned the Senate from just him to a Republican-Libertarian majority after the victories of Mike Joyce, Mortimer Marshall and David Davidson.

In the 2024 election, he formed the Republican-Libertarian Alliance that campaigned heavily on claiming to have superior candidates and attacking opponents for "partisan voting". The Alliance also used large scale voter registration campaigns to mobilise their supporters. They ultimately lost, but managed to make significant gains in the House.

He also endorsed Gerald Kaine for President.

#### Second Term

In the 2026 elections, Zhuge was challenged by independent Pacifica councilman Abe Jackson. Most polls showed Jackson with a slight lead, but Zhuge ended up winning by a small but fair margin. However, his party lost their Senate majority due to Davidson's defeat in the hands of former Chief Justice David Castillo, despite flipping the House.

### Random Chimp Event

In 2028, Zhuge was involved in a controversial case where he assisted his former colleague Gordon Ng in sending Labour Party chats over to perceived progressive-slanted news network CBNNN, after Gordon Ng brought the information to the RLA headquarters that Secretary of State Iva Slate apparently planned to write a bank of bills for inactive Labour councilman to make a name of themselves.

#### Charges

The Department of Justice announced charges against Ng and Zhuge in a few months after the midterm elections. Zhuge was charged on 2 charges of accessory, complicity, and incitement. He publicly denied all 4 allegations. Atticus Finch, his original lawyer, resigned, claiming that Zhuge was insistent on arguing on a moral and ethical basis and denying the reality that his actions broke the law. He then hired former Erie governor Fletcher Scott, who also resigned, claiming that he believes his client is guilty. Zhuge attacked Scott in public and made unproven allegations that he was being paid by the government. He eventually hired Michael Avenatti as his lawyer.

Public reception to his and Ng's actions were mostly negative at the time, however his approval was shown to have rose in his own state of Pacifica by multiple pollsters, a fact that Zhuge has bragged about on social media, saying that "the people of Pacifica does not believe the government's bullsh\*t" and saying it was "sad".

After Gordon took a plea deal as he claimed the case was affecting his family, Zhuge continued to plead not guilty. However, he did not attend his court hearings.

#### Flight to Russia

After participating in the Republican-Libertarian convention, Zhuge's family reported that he had gone missing. He was soon spotted in Alaska, accompanied by armed mercenaries. The FBI tracked him down and raided his hotel, but he fought his way out with a rifle and his blade, eventually managing to reach the pier and flee on a boat. The FBI chased after him, shooting him into the water at a point, but he managed to escape in the nick of time as he was rescued by a larger Russian ship.

### Life in Russia

He was granted political asylum in Russia, in which he continued to proclaim his innocence and comment on American politics. He endorsed Matthew McMullin and voted by mail in the 2032 election.

He adopted Kyle Jones, a nephew of his former rival congressional leader Addison Jones-Slate, after the (false) death of her twin sister. Jones was brought to Russia on a plane and granted citizenship.

He was involved in a shooting case where he was charged for illegally possessing a firearm he brought from the United States, but was pardoned by Vladimir Putin.

He planned to run in the 2036 election from Russia, but later dropped the idea.

### Life in Bolivia

In 2036, Zhuge grew disillusioned with the Russian government due to their stance in the Balkan conflicts and moved to Bolivia instead. He continued to comment on American politics.

### Defeat and Death

Zhuge attempted to return to the United States to stand trial and spend the rest of his life, but while visiting Hong Kong he was attacked by the militia of his old foe Pang De. He killed Pang De in a lengthy battle but due to his old age he was overwhelmed and surrounded. He killed himself by slitting his own throat. His body was dismembered by Pang De's men and only his head was retrieved by his son Zhuge Dingguo (now called Jar Jar Binks), and was buried in the Gordon Museum.
