## History

### Early Life

When Cotton Eye Joe was young he was worshiped as a god when he solved the unsolvable question of 9 + 10 of which he got the true answer of 21 when most apes would say 19 the correct answer is 21 during this period Cotton Eye Joe was made a celebrity but when he turned 21 he vanished from the public eye.

### During his disappearance

During his vanishing he would stop by a farm causing a man who would of been married a long time ago some peril
when he came into a town in a way some would describe like a mid winter storm then he would ride through the fields in a way the ladies would describe as handsome and strong with them also saying that his eyes were his tools and his smile was his gun little did they know that he only came to have some fun. In his wake he would bring disaster and due to his charisma he would break the hearts of all the girls in the town with all the women leaving the town and leaving only men in said town they would all blame Cotton Eye Joe for the vanishing of the women due to this a bounty was placed on Cotton Eye Joe for 40,000 dollars though this bounty would never be claimed to due him managing to make it to the forests of Tonga before any bounty hunting could take place on him. Much later the country the town was in would be called Gayville for the lack of women in the country and due to the collapse of The New Prussian Kingdom it would be named Gayville due to Kaiser Wilhelm the Gay originating from the country

### Training in Tonga

When he arrived in Tonga he would find a sage playing a guitar curious he would approach the sage only for the sage to challenge him to a battle only seeing him as a feeble old man he would accept, thinking it would be easy he would be defeated in 2.14 seconds astonished on how the old man beat him without even moving his body he would soon come to learn of The Essence of Metal an ancient mystical art that comes from the distant planet of Metallica, Cotton Eye Joe asked the elderly man to teach him the mystical power the sage said no because he was already nearing the very end of his life so instead the sage would use a rare ability only some can use and would transfer his skills into Cotton Eye Joe via shredding so hard his the flesh would rip from his bones and transferring the remaining life energy he had along with the knowledge of Metallicas location after this Cotton Eye Joe became the first human to master The Essence of Metal in over 2 million years along with him being the first human to ever know the location of Metallica he would decide once he was strong enough he would go to Metallica and find out the history of The Essence of Metal for the monk only knew little history of The Essence of Metal but for now Cotton Eye Joe decided to train in the Tongan forests until he was strong enough to make it to Metallica in a single jump.

### Beyond Earth

In 1960 an earthquake happened in Valdivia, Chile which became the largest earthquake ever recorded in human history this was caused by Cotton Eye Joe jumping so hard into space in order to go to Metallica it caused so much force to the Nazca plate which is where he was at the time it caused it to go 15 meters underneath the South American Plate causing said earthquake launching Cotton Eye Joe so far into space it would land him on a star named UY Scuti once he landed on it he jumped from with so much force it caused it to implode on itself and propelling him with so much force it would launch him so fast that light could not keep up with him ripping a hole in the universe that would have him reappear flying towards Metallica all the way in Wuphron Comxi in one of the many black regions of the galaxy. In Metallica History books it is said that in 4524 (or 1960 in earth years) a meteor landed in a village causing a impact as big and deep as a mountain few died with many being injured it was later found out to be a human who called himself Cotton Eye Joe. Many months later Cotton Eye Joe would be released from prison early due to his mastery of The Essence of Metal and him explaining how the impact was entirely an accident caused by his velocity while approaching the planet and him not being able to stop himself while entering the atmosphere, to prove himself to the people of Metallica he would begin teaching what he knew of the Essence of Metal to those who were falling behind in exchange for him learning of the history of Metallica.

### The Return

In 4539 (or 1967 in human years) Cotton Eye Joe had learned everything there was to learn of Metallicas history and with this he decided that he would return to Earth with only a single jump and in a matter of days the monks of Metallica would construct a platform for him so he could not cause anymore damage to Metallica and with this platform he Jumped with enough force to destroy a solar system with the only thing keeping him from accidentally destroying Metallica were the monks shredding so hard it would contain the explosion to only the platform. Once Cotton Eye Joe was back in space he would be sent flying so far that he would go through multiple stars on his way back which only furthered his speed traveling so fast it would send him back through time to 1964 which also landed him near earth but with him travelling so fast he would slow himself down by flying through Jupiter which created a red spot on the planet with him travelling back thousands of years while flying through Jupiter and when he exited it he was back in 1964 this did slow him down to a bit so he decided he would land in the middle of the Atlantic ocean to cause as little damage as possible but this failed and landed him in the pacific ocean but he still landed in the water and unknowingly caused a tsunami to happen in Alaska that killed many people and causing a wave over 200 feet high.

### The Start of Something Great

When Cotton Eye Joe was reentering the atmosphere of earth a young musician named Donnie Rames Jio would see Cotton Eye Joe entering the atmosphere seeing this he would train himself to become the metal godfather as he heard a riff when Cotton Eye Joe was entering the atmosphere while a young man in Birmingham named Lossy Losburn also saw Cotton Eye Joe entering the atmosphere with him hearing a different riff, he also vouched to become the godfather of this music he heard with him naming it metal. Once Cotton Eye Joe landed in the pacific ocean he would sink down to the very bottom of it seeing many strange creatures during his decent and once he reached the bottom he would begin to walk back to Tonga to continue training his body even further due to the Tongan forests containing a mystical door that leads to a mystical place where every second outside was a 5 years inside the door along with the place being an endless void with gravity compared to that of a black hole at its event horizon, it is still unknown how the door got there or where its from but with Cotton Eye Joe knowing how dangerous this door could be if it was used as a weapon he would grab the door and move it with his incredible strength and carry it with him an underwater mountain range in the Atlantic and sending it to the bottom so that nobody other then himself could use it. With one of his primary focus's being completed he would jump down there with the door and enter this room.

### Furthering his training

Cotton Eye Joe would spend 12 outside years or 60 years inside the room with the gravity not even being a problem for him anymore, knowing he has become too powerful for this room he would decide to send himself into space to train inside a black hole to see if this would help him further his training little did he know that this would send him halfway across the universe sending him to a unknown galaxy in an unknown region on a uncharted planet with gravity that was 400x stronger then the room he would struggle to even stand on this planet he would even try to break this planet but its surface was harder then nuclear pasta, this planet proved to be the perfect place for Cotton Eye Joe to further his training even further than he could on Earth.
