Scherzinger

**Scherzinger**, also known as **Scherz**, is a citizen of the New West Indies. Scherzinger is most renowned for their contribution to the regional roleplay, running The Monarchy of Scherzinger (formerly) and The Empire of The Nippon Teikoku. Scherzinger was also a member of the New West Indies Roleplay Committee from May 18, 2020 - March 16, 2021; they served as the "Roleplay Cicerone," who provides guidance and opinions to other members and the NWI Roleplaying Community at large. Scherzinger wrote the original draft that would become "A Guide to Roleplay" for the NWI, and the original draft of a resolution to establish the Roleplay Committee as a governing body in the NWI roleplaying matters.

Scherzinger has been a NationStates player since August 17th, 2017 and has been in a multitude of regions such as Europe, The North Pacific, The Pacific, and the Confederation of Corrupt Dictators. After being wrongly framed by The Chuck in the CCD, and after a dismal stay in The Pacific (and subsequent permaban), Scherzinger took time off of NS to 'find himself' before his eventual move to the NWI.

## Roleplaying

Scherzinger roleplayed as the Monarchy of Scherzinger since his official admittance to the NWI. He roleplayed a German-Japanese hegemony with loose inspiration from the Austro-Hungarian Empire with most of the land to boot. Scherzinger actively Roleplayed with players like The Sakura Nippon and Ventus Prime. After a somewhat lengthy RP drought, Scherzinger proposed and is currently running the first International Football Cup (for the region) hosted in their nation.

The Sakura Nippon later moved out of Japan and began Roleplaying as a Planet of nations. After such, Scherzinger was gifted by Sakura the land claims they held in Japan, as Scherzinger has expressed his deep passion and love for Japan. Scherzinger abandoned his nation of 4 years and made a fresh nation called The Nippon Teikoku, which takes inspiration from The Sakura Nippon (and also named by Sakura), as a way to thank them for the dedicated RP story they shared together for over a year.

Scherzinger's Rps are often long and somewhat over-explanatory. Sometimes going to great lengths to describe a person or object or room. Often called by himself as 'word walls.'

On May 2, 2021, Scherzinger was officially bestowed the Assembly Award 4th Class for his work on GAR #53: Establishing The Roleplay Committee, in which he wrote the original draft and contributed to the draft that would pass in the NWI General Assembly in a unanimous decision.

## Roleplay Committee

Scherzinger became a Roleplay Committee member on May 18, 2020.[*source?*] New United Carolinas, the Director of the Roleplay Committee, commissioned Scherzinger to write and make a Roleplay Guide to help new nations get acquainted with Roleplaying in the New West Indies. After 3 months of writing he produced the first draft to NUC to overwhelmingly positive first impressions, the Guide is now in its review phase.[*source?*]

Scherzinger calls himself the 'necessary evil' of the RP Committee, as he seldom agrees with the majority opinion and often 'agrees under protest'.[*source?*] However, there are some cases where his opinion is in the majority. Scherzinger's more famous opinions that won majority support include such topics as "The Force/Magic Case" in which he argued against the idea that RP characters being given The Force or magical powers.[*source?*]

On March 16, 2021, after a heated debate in Committee, 2 months and 2 days short of 1 year as a committee member, Scherzinger resigned from his duties as a committee member.[*source?*]
