**MORTHRIN**, often called **Morth** for short, roams the known world, searching for inspiration as to what innovative project may be created next. Since the beginning of his Minecraft career on private servers and even public ones, like The Seed MC, he has always had a strong vision for what he wanted to create, innovating methods and generating means for achieving that goal. From a Viking-inspired village with lush fields and custom trees to a brooding underground lair with grand halls and winding corridors, his ideas have been met with much success, thanks to the collaborative efforts of himself and OutrightWings. His trusty partner through all of his endeavors thus far, Wings has helped see the many ideas of Morth to a satisfying completion, often adding some of her own unique touches.

Now, in Shuttlecraft, another journey has started anew, and Morth has consistently sought to innovate both new and existing projects throughout the world, including the beautiful and ever-growing city of NewTown (founded by Terashi), he and Wings' unique mansion base, the Nachbaren Estate, and an improved Nether transportation system. He does tend to critically analyze most of Shuttle's fresh ideas, probably much to his annoyance, but Morth sees this as a means to create a more positive system that the majority of new and current players will come to enjoy. On a daily basis, you'll probably find him either AFKing at a farm of his, collaborating on his next new build project, or running around NewTown, thinking of the next fun thing the town can add to its ever-expansive infrastructure.

## History

Joining in October of 2020, in the midst of a somewhat mental crisis ensued by the unforgiving onslaught of the COVID-19 Virus, Morth found a small, tight-knit community, that, at the time, personally served as a means to combat the negative non-physical effects of the pandemic. Having made a joint application with Wings, he stepped foot into the server seeking a place to start. At the time, another server member (now inactive) by the name of Terashi had started a town in the relatively far West, called NewTown, with the idea that it would serve as a location for new players to found the beginning of their experiences and move outwards. He and Wings desired the opportunity to help carve out a new town's future, in contrast to the limitations of the existing, though charming, spawn town of Deanmark.

So they journeyed on the ShuttleMetro to the place where NewTown was supposed to exist. Upon arriving, it was clear that not much stood to represent this so-called "new players' town". But it was as good as a place to start as any. That day, through the joking use of a leftover sign (the rest of which were used to claim the property for himself and Wings' very first home), the infamous entity, popularly known as Chu, was born, leaving a meme-level impact that has remained on Shuttlecraft to this day. Shortly after, the development of the three starter homes, collectively known as "The Unorthodox Three", quickly came to fruition, with the idea that they'd one day serve as a location for new players to stay who didn't have a home or formal base yet.

In little time, it became clear to both Morth and Wings that these houses would not suffice as a long-term base. Also, Invader, a long-standing player, conjured a manor along the Western border of NewTown, acting as his new and improved base of operations. Interpreting this as a direct move of superiority, the duo decided to answer this with their own build, as they had not yet demonstrated a level of power and influence that had been clearly exhibited on servers prior to Shuttlecraft. So, the Nachbaren Estate was born, with the project starting on Novemeber 17, 2020. It wouldn't be fully completed until January 10, 2021, but most of its exterior and interior was complete within 1-2 weeks.

After the unofficial completion of the mansion, Morth sought to expand himself and Wings' personal infrastructure, through the creation of multiple farms and massive grinding time in the Nether and End. The duo soon gained the ability to fund most of their projects and contribute their share of additions to the growing Shuttlecraft economy. Morth also had the vision to see NewTown ascend above what its founder could've only dreamed of. So, through the addition of paths, landscaping features, farms, and buildings, he and Wings led the initiative to make NewTown an outstanding addition to the overall infrastructure of the Shuttlecraft server. At a certain part of its development, he and Wings, along with server member Invader4679, formed the NewTown Mayoral Committee, to govern the current city and oversee its ever-expanding future. Now, NewTown has unarguably become the most popular and active location in the Shuttlecraft world. This he currently facilitates, always looking for ways he can make the town and its component systems better.

And what of his journey now? Rumor has it of a nameless and expansive secret base/HQ being developed, and there are whispers of a server-wide game in construction, the likes and size of which no one has ever engineered, much less heard of. But that's only speculation.
