Caesar

Caesar's Original Profile Picture

## Beginnings in Terra

Caesar joined Terra in Early Season 4, with reference from Sentaria/Ara, who was a good friend of Caesar. Both of them had joined and been part of many RP servers for almost a year now and had joined Terra, a recently upcoming server. Caesar had joined the server and had made good friendships with a couple of members. Like for most others the early days of Terra was one of pioneering and creating and Caesar did help with the mapping and war systems, both of which he was intimately involved with.

## Origins of the name 'Caesar'

Caesar's real name, Khusrau Khan Nawabi, was a regal name meaning 'majestic or kingly' and thus often went by the nickname 'Cassi' in the real world (as it was much easier to say). When joining Nation RPs, the names 'Cassi Caesar' (meaning King Cassi) or 'Cycling Caesar' had come to be used as it was names he had used before as an online name. Later on however, a member by the name of Karmio would dislike Caesar and would dox his real name and background which was accidentally leaked via his Email. Thus Khusrau Khan became known to everyone out there and for a good while this was a used name.

## Early Contributions to Terra

In the Earlier seasons Caesar was involved heavily in Mapping and War modding. Along with Fulger, the mapping system was perfected and Caesar was essentially the main mapper until Season 27. Due to this, the mapping scene was well maintained throughout Terran history and players had a reliable mapping team to be able to map out their RP. In Season 8, Caesar had entered the staff team for the first time and would work as a moderator, and had contributed to the economic system reforms under Matte. However after Matte had left power, so did Caesar and he had returned to simply mapping and war modding.

## Role within the Great Terran Split

When Neko had deleted the Server, Caesar was unfortunately asleep. Upon waking up he was surprised to have seen that Terra was gone as his activity picked up again due to the covid lockdown. Along with other 'Terran OGs' he had come to form Terra United, as successor server to Terra Divided. Along with the other OGs he would also be considered one of the 'Terran Exiles' and would work to rebuild the server. Caesar would serve as both Moderator and Admin and would oversee the rebuilding of the server by competent Mapping and War modding as well as streamlining said systems.

## Novos Kosmos and Betrayal

In Season 23, Caesar had an increasing rivalry with Rose on how the server was to be run. Caesar advocated for Terra to be run as a traditional RP server while Rose looked to advance the server. Along with a personal dispute between the 2, Caesar eventually left Terra to form Novos Kosmos along with some close friends such as Padrino and Marshal. At that time Caesar had also invited Neko back to the server and what could be considered the 'other side of Terra'. Ultimately however, Caesar reconciled with Rose as both figured that they needed each other to run their servers properly. In return for abandoning the Novos Kosmos project, he and his staff could rejoin Terra and help the server grow again, while Caesar became and Admin and saw some considerable mapping and war modding reforms.

## The middle Seasons

Caesar had worked with Rose in order to reform Terra and helped get these reforms going. While some of them did not work out well, others such as economic Roleplay had worked excellently. Although Caesar had held the admin role a total of 8 times, his most fruitful tenure was under that of Rose where he had be part of Rose's great reforms which had helped save the server and keep it going. In this time he had tried to contest rose several times in elections however both had given very similar promises and in reality nothing would have changed if either had gotten elected. Ultimately after Season 27, Caesar had to tend to real life affairs as the last year of school was over. Caesar had to take a month off however due to personal matters however would ultimately come back when no one expected Season 30.

## The Coup of August 31st

Caesar had been known as 'Coup man' by many Terrans till that point because he had in total attempted 3 coups. The first was against Grek which was the Novos Kosmos event. The second was against Taka in a power struggle. The third however was the successful one against Lorin. Caesar had began by publicly critising Lorin and claiming that he had been harming Terra. Lorin tried to silence Caesar however Caesar had motivated many to join the cause and to break the silence against Lorin. Soon many had protested against Lorin and even former members like Rose and Like came back to join arms against Lorin. Ultimately however Rose and Caesar would be banned from the server. However this would serve a reason to remove Lorin so Pagkosmios, the holder, would remove Lorin and would place Rose and Caesar as well as himself, in charge of the server. This however would not last long as Rose would soon step down, leaving Caesar as the Owner of the Server.

## First ownership and 'The Dictator of Terra'

After the Coup of August 31st, Terra had been divided in 2. Those who supported Caesar had remained in Terra while those who supported Lorin had fled to Nova. Both sides showed a bitter hostility against each other and were bent on trying to destroy each other. Caesar had to improve Terra's security as until then it had no security at all. The Disboard was temporarily shut down and a new server security system was implemented which was aimed at being able to spot who was dangerous and who was safe. Terra was also put on full lockdown as everything was policed and any wrong talk could result in banning. More than 50 people were banned in total from Terra during the tenure of Caesar for various reasons. Caesar had established the 'Server Protectors' which was a group of members loyal to Caesar only and could function to ban or kick anyone who was a threat to Terra and kicked players and even staff members. As a result of this, Terra was made more stable and calm which allowed for more creative ideas to be formed. Caesar had abolished the democratic system of votes and instead based staff on appointment only rather than populism. Critics claim that this system was cronyism as it may have favored friends, while others claim that this was revolutionary and the staff team was for the first time since Season 18, fully active and competent. Shortcomings were however not observed as much during the tenure as such as censored in order to maintain stability in Terra. This era was referred to by many as 'The Terran Junta', as it was the first and only time that an owner came to power by non-democratic means.

It was also during 'The Terran Junta' that Terra fought a war against Lorin's server 'Nova's Cradle'. Having been on the receiving end of a war before under the 'Novos Kosmos' era, Caesar had plenty of experience in leading a server through a war. To protect Terra he instituted the many security and lockdown reforms and in order to attack Nova he had enlisted dissidents to revolt on Nova. On one occasion a team of raiders was sent to destabilize Nova, however on Terra's side no raiders were received due to the lockdown measures. However after the fighting, Caesar offered peace to Nova on the condition that both servers rejoin and mend ties, however Lorin had refused to accept this peace. Ultimately however Lorin would step down as owner of Nova and the new leader of Nova had negociated peace with Caesar and Terra, on the Homefront Caesar had won the conflict and many from Nova began to flock to Terra. Caesar slowly opened Terra to the outside, reintroducing Disboard and allowing former Novans to come back to Terra, however putting a strict ban on the founders and leaders of Nova. Ultimately however Caesar's dictatorial policies had made him unpopular and although Seasons 34 and 35 did flourish under his tenure as successful seasons, he was disputed as a leader. Much of Caesar's staff team however would remain for the rest of the 30s seasons as Zedomega, Generic and Zatanna would come to be the main staff members at the time, all appointed by Caesar. Caesar would ultimately hand power to Karl, while Caesar became an admin, where most of his RP policies were continued, while Terra itself began to open up more.

## Role under Karl's Regime

Under Karl's Regime, Caesar had served as admin and due to the 2 being friends and having similar ideals, they continued much of the RP policies introduced under the Terran Junta but with a new flavor to make it popular. Some democratic elements were reintroduced while restrictions on Novans began to calm down leading to an influx of Novans onto the server. Caesar served as admin and as chief judge under Karl where he had, along with his secret police, brought anyone suspicious and had tried them under Terran law. A famous incident was the King-Sharky incident, where Caesar had judged the case and had ruled King innocent and a victim of slander. Much of Caesar's and Karl's policies had led to the success of Season 36. The large influx of players as well as the stability and competant staff had resulted in the success of the season. However this would ultimately be the undoing of the Caesar and Karl's Terra as there would be an opposition to them starting from Rose. Caesar would resign from his post soon after and declare neutrality in the conflict. Ultimately there would be an election and Karl would lose the election resulting in Rose and Envious forming a new government in Terra.

## Role under Envious's Regime

Caesar served as an Admin under Envious's regime and worked with Rose again to be able to maintain the Second Terran golden age brought by the stability of the Junta. This lead to the most successful season yet, Season 37. Under this regime the secret police as well as the intense security measure were removed which served as the end of the Junta era. However many of Caesar's anti-democratic policies were brought back which did make the regime unpopular. Although there was a very good season, perhaps the best since Season 18, the regime ultimately was forced to resign.

## Second Ownership and 'The last Owner of Terra'

Caesar won the election with a landslide and would look to continue his policies from the Terran Junta. However by now the meddling with powers by previous owners had made the Owner's position weak, leading to Admins and the Holder increasingly holding more power. Caesar seeking to reverse this sought to reform the system entirely. After talking with the holder Pagkosmios, the Owner position as well as Admin was abolished and the Gamemaster position was introduced. With this Caesar shared power with the Holder and 2 other Trusted members which gave more stability to administration and more control to the Gamemasters. Some oppose this move entirely and state that there will come to be one Owner once again in the future. Others state that this is a revolutionary move which would come to save Terra. It is simply too short a time to tell.

During his tenure Caesar along with Omega and Lorin, who were now allies, sought to reform the server as it had stagnated under mismanagement. All the systems were reformed and the entire hierarchy was reformed. Many of Caesar's Junta policies were reintroduced and the server was restructured entirely. Following New years of 2021 however, Caesar stepped down from Gamemastership and by that extent he was the last Owner of Terra, not bringing the role back or passing it on.

## Retirement and Legacy

After stepping down, Caesar retired from Terran politics and Roleplay, having more important affairs to tend to in real life. Caesar still pops into the community from time to time however does not do much. Caesar's legacy on Terra was monumental. He had reformed all forms of system on multiple occasions and had seen and contributed to Terra throughout the seasons. To this day, Caesar is the only dictator to have ruled Terra and had also abolished the Owner and Admin roles, 2 of the most powerful roles throughout Terran history. Much of how we see Terra today is due to Caesar's policies during his Junta or Gamemastership, and the new era of Terra had in a large way been started by Caesar. Season 39 was the last season in which Terra had an owner and Season 40 onwards was a new Terra, which saw a new system built by Caesar and his team and carried forward by those who lead it now.
