RescuePatrol

**RescuePatrol** (January 13, 1994-) is the first Sheriff of Trostau. He was appointed to the position on June 8, 2021, serving as the first Sheriff of the newly created Trostau Sheriff's Office. Before his appointment, he was a traveling ranger vigilante moving across the world, helping those he could.

## Life and Career

### Prior to Trostau

RescuePatrol grew up in an agricultural family in the Modified Badlands Plateau. He comes from a well-respected lineage in both farming and military service. Growing up without siblings, he spent most of his time playing with the animals on the family farm and occasionally reading books along the rural back roads along the canyons.

Sheriff RescuePatrol's arid and isolated upbringing could have easily made him into a brash introverted loner. However, he is one of the most helpful and friendly people in the world. RescuePatrol demonstrates a high degree of empathy for human suffering and injustices; he is a rare genuine altruist. His compassionate yearning to help others would ultimately be the catalyst to depart from farm life into traveling the world and helping those in need.

### Early Life

Shortly after bidding farewell to his family and farm life, he ventured out into the wild, in his horse-drawn wagon, in hopes of helping others. A long trek ensued, lasting weeks; many would have stopped and turned back, but RescuePatrol's proclivity for helping others has engrained him on his journey.

Once he had reached the desert biomes, he set up a small encampment on a nearby oasis comprised of the materials stored in his wagon. Using his skills from his farming childhood, he spent his first few months cutting down trees and hunting animals to gather supplies to distribute. After his gathering, he proceeded on horseback, traveling town to town giving supplies.

Sometimes, RescuePatrol dangerously overlooks his own needs while helping others, as he only focuses on them and not himself. The impetus seems to stem from family tradition, as his family regularly donated excess crops not used for food or cash.

## Entry to Trostau

### Tenure as Sheriff

For two years, RescuePatrol hunted food and gathered supplies to give away to various settlements scattered across the plains. His work soon caught the attention of the Deputy Tsar of Trostau, kraugel13. The Deputy Tsar invited RescuePatrol into the nation, where he trekked over 1 kilometer on foot to reach the waters of Trostau. RescuePatrol saw the growing opportunities he could get to help if he were to join the nation. On June 8th, 2021, he obtained Trostaun citizenship and was shortly appointed Sheriff of Trostau by the Tsar, bennymaster. RescuePatrol was an avid citizen; he would design many flags, symbols, and ideas for the nation.

RescuePatrol was delighted with his new position. He considers being the boots on the ground to be his natural habitat. Being the Sheriff extended his opportunities in helping those in need. His proclivity for conflict resolution and compassion is just one of a dozen skills that make him an asset to the people and the Tsardom. It is clear that he does not yearn for war nor the escalation of war; instead, he is more diplomatic and calm. This mindset caused him to not participate in the Trostau-Lagvia Conquest War, even with the many close encounters with the enemy leader, laggygamer2, trespassing into his jurisdiction.

RescuePatrol completed the construction of the first sheriff's station shortly after assuming office, serving as the main headquarters and home for the Sheriff. One of Sheriff RescuePatrol's first executive decisions was the arrest of Mer arrogantesJonas. Mer Jonas was accused of entering into territory that belonged to Lagvia, which the Tsar prohibited. After alerting the Tsar, Sheriff RescuePatrol was decreed to arrest arrogantesJonas if he were to not adhere to the law. The Mer turned himself in at the station after realizing his misunderstanding. In compassion, the Sheriff decided to release him after the Mer's attempt to lull him into releasing him. The Mer was released on bail of two baked potatoes and is not required to attend a court date.

On the 12th of June, 2021, RescuePatrol finalized his organization of the Sheriff's Office, standardizing ranks and operations. Sheriff RescuePatrol would also begin construction of the second sheriff's substation in the Southern Island of Trostau. On the 27th of June, 2021, Sheriff RescuePatrol would complete remodeling the Trost City Sheriff's Station; and soon, the South Island Station as well.

### Trostau-Sunset Great Axolotl War

RescuePatrol and kraugel13 discussed whether Trostau should intervene with the conflict between Finvalla and Ratburg. RescuePatrol expressed his concerns for any practical purpose of the invasion and the nation's ability to defend itself in a war. The deputy Tsar had ensured him that the Sunset Empire would not intervene with its town's conflict, but RescuePatrol insisted they stay neutral.

After hearing the declaration of war, the Sheriff was upset by Trostau's intervention in the conflict. However, he was also excited because the Tsar oversaw the merger of Blackstone and Finvalla into the Tsardom. RescuePatrol was further lulled into complete calmness after sweeber21 convinced him that the war would never reach Trostau. The reassurance led the Sheriff to focus on remodeling the South Island Station.

Halfway to remodeling the station, he ran back to Trost to gather more building materials, only to be met by FlabbyDrip84 on the bridge. FlabbyDrip84 was Sunsetese, an enemy of war, which made RescuePatrol quite confused on why he was in Trost, nevertheless he remained cautious. He confronted FlabbyDrip84 and told him to leave; however, he insisted on staying and began to erect an outpost. RescuePatrol did not attempt a preemptive strike. He knew too well that he could not best an opponent with full netherite armor.

RescuePatrol immediately called for backup and stood his ground as he saw the outpost grew taller and taller. Once sweeber21 and G\_W\_ arrived, they engaged a two-hour-long siege on the outpost. At one point, FlabbyDrip84 exited the door, in which RescuePatrol fired his bow, hitting him. The three disengaged from the siege, allowing additional members of Sunset to appear at Trostau's gates.

### Disillusionment

Tsar bennymaster's abdication saddened many citizens of Trostau, while others cheered for his successor, Tsar kraugel13, for they hoped for a more proactive leader. However, the Sheriff knew him too far well, and he knew a path of war was paved the very moment kraugel13 was crowned. It was no surprise to RescuePatrol that the Tsardom had found themselves in war with the Subjects of Nebroy shortly after his ascent to the throne. He listened as Tsar kraugel13 reassured his citizens that the conflict would end shortly with an easy Trostaun victory. The lawman saw the opportunity to field test a new weapon he created, the High Explosive Flashbang Launcher(HEFL). When the battle of Trost began, the capital had been instantly overwhelmed by SON forces, backed by Sunsetese volunteers. The Sheriff retreated into the Capital City Station and stood his ground as enemy forces overran the city. He was alone in the capital, surrounded; he begged for reinforcements, but none would arrive soon.

He was disillusioned; he thought his Tsar would lead the nation to victory, only to not be present during the war. RescuePatrol took his chances and ran out of the station, using his new weapon against the invading forces. Finding himself outnumbered and outmatched, he resorted to guerilla warfare tactics, attacking and then retreating on a boat and then attacking again. The tactic proved only a little effective as he couldn't kill anyone with his new weapon, designed as a less-lethal option. The weapon proved effective in discombobulating multiple enemies at the port as he fired numerous volleys of rockets that would explode in strobing white and black, blinding the enemy.

His efforts to regain the city were futile as when reinforcements arrived; they were too late. The lawman fell valiantly, protecting his nation. He spent the remainder of the war recuperating in his home. RescuePatrol reflected on his country's failures; every single war after the first had been a loss. He didn't want to see his nation go into another nonsensical war again. He began to question the Tsardom, his country, why he joined, the very star put on his chest. Every since he recovered, he put himself unceremoniously in LOA, wandering the vast lands of Solis.
