EXDF is a character played by Brendan. He is a tall man with scruffy hair, muttonchops, an eyepatch over his right eye, and a prosthetic left arm. He wears a red flannel shirt, blue jeans, and brown boots. He has green eyes and reddish-brown hair. EXDF is a belligerent, strategic man who desires to be involved with conflict completely under-geared in order to prove the strength of his nation. EXDF is the current Big Man of New Hollandia, a title given to him as the founder of the Holland Faction. As Big Man, EXDF is the ruler and leader of Holland. He is known for his many novelties, like creating a city entirely out of dirt, fully enchanting a wooden sword, running for president before the idea of an election was even brought forth, and fulfilling every promise he has made. Historically, he has created many factions and cities in various SMPs, typically one of the first to split off and form his own society. He tends to have much success with this and as a result has become one of the SMP's more weathered builders. Due to his successes and his constant quarrels with Nick (CardinalCyrusXV) in the SMP, he is generally regarded as the protagonist of the first season. He is also involved with most event planning on the server since the Election of 2021.

## History

### Prior to Joining Pelchat SMP

#### Oars and Whores SMP (Java Edition)

In a long-since active SMP where EXDF is the newest member (joined in the third season of this SMP), he immediately split off from the rest of the greater SMP to live on a Viking-style boat, which later expanded into the river to include an underwater base. He soon became dissatisfied with this lifestyle and built Pesto's Pub, a bar that sold potions. Notably, while the rest of the server served under a communist regime (including a KGB force), this was the last bastion of capitalism. This land eventually became an entire village which was home to many villagers, the first of which was a tundra-style weaponsmith named Salvatore. This town was a vast city and became known as the Settlement of t. The name for this town was created due to the local religion that was created and headed by EXDF, the Church of t. The Church of t is EXDF's canonical religion throughout all SMPs in his history. The Settlement of t became the most populated area in the entire SMP, despite only one player actually living there. It did not have every job type that comes with villagers, but each villager in the town was at its highest level. EXDF was the only active player on this SMP to never obtain netherite gear, but his diamond gear was consistently renewable due to his thriving economy. The Settlement of t was created with the sole intent of allowing for a substantial villager community without being a fabled villager prison. To this day, EXDF holds a high standard of living for any villagers he manages.

#### The Realm that Needs a Better Name SMP (Java Edition)

Started by a friend of both Nick (CardinalCyrusXV) and EXDF, this realm received its name from EXDF's own suggestion. He was one of the founding members of this server, and one of the five active members of the server throughout its phases of activity. He played on this SMP during both its short-lived first season and its more substantial second season. On his first day on the SMP's second season, he was hunted down by mobs and ended up digging a hole in a flower biome to spend the night. He quickly began to starve and had to forage outside of his hole, eventually creating the Home of the Forgotten above his hole as he was a forgotten member of the SMP due to his insignificance and lack of wealth. His permanent base became a cobblestone castle immediately next to the Home of the Forgotten, named the Kingdom of the Forgotten. Now a king of his own castle with fully-trained villagers of every career, EXDF lost all motivation to continue on this SMP and became steadily less active. With no real goal, he eventually became entirely inactive. It was around this time that he was invited to join the Pelchat SMP.

### Pelchat SMP Season 1 - Geopolitical

#### Creation of Holland

EXDF joined the server with the satirical goal of constructing a utopia out of dirt blocks and raiding other nations using nothing but a wooden sword and leather boots. After initially looting chests of other countries for dirt, EXDF settled near a swamp on the Mediterranean Sea where he would begin constructing Holland City. Upon being swarmed by drowned, skeletons, and spiders, he decided to build a one block-tall dirt wall around the main path in Holland City. His primary goal at this point was to construct a city out of dirt and begin waging war on other nations, as he had nothing to lose.

#### Mediterranean Conflict

Despite wanting to wage war right away after joining the realm, EXDF found genuine conflict with the people of Malta. He planned to expand Holland City into the Mediterranean Sea for accessible farming purposes, but the Maltese had plans to drain the sea and create a forested ecosystem in its place. This led to EXDF hastily waging war on the Maltese (most notably their leader, Ian Major), and a prompt compromise that Malta would only be able to drain the sea on one side of the Bridge to Valletta while Holland could occupy the other. EXDF agreed to these terms, but not before raiding Valletta with a wooden sword. EXDF escaped Valletta entirely unscathed and undetected. The spoils were eventually returned due to SMP laws. An agreement was made between Holland and Malta that gave some more ocean space to the latter in exchange for 20 iron.

#### Expansion of Holland

EXDF purchased the colony of Medina after a power struggle between Ian Little and TartTank, which ultimately ended in Amsterdam seizing power over the colony despite Katya (HammockOcemeco)'s wishes as the founder of the colony. After seizing power, Ian Little immediately put it on sale, to which EXDF quickly responded. With the support of Daniel (Dandan), Medina became a colony of Holland. Additionally, the Constantinople faction disbanded at this time, leaving Ian Little to have his own Amsterdam faction during the power struggle over Medina. EXDF extended an invitation to Ian Little to join Holland and be Governor of Amsterdam, which would become a city in Holland. Ian Little accepted. Holland's membership also expanded to include Jhesuea (MapleJeshy), Katya (HammockOcemeco), and Ian Little, with Katya (HammockOcemeco) as the governor of Medina and Ian Little as the governor of Amsterdam.

While Ian Little eventually split off from Holland to create the Stonks business and faction (taking Amsterdam with him), EXDF made many more public invitations to members of the SMP who were either neutral, in the failing Moscow faction, or the disintegrating Jihadists faction. Invitations were accepted by Angel Gamer, Deniz, and Ava. Upon this expansion, EXDF began buying territories entirely, becoming the server's first real estate mogul (later followed by Ian Little, who purchased Moscow from MurpleDerp). He bought Antarctica and the Antarctic Gulag from Angel Gamer and Jhesuea (MapleJeshy), crowning the latter as the Prince of Antarctica. Additionally, he bought a village discovered and owned by Katya (HammockOcemeco) that was located near Old Japan, which was destroyed by Nick (CardinalCyrusXV) simply from EXDF's discovery of that city. On his journey to Old Japan, EXDF also discovered the spruce village of Hufendorf, the desert village of Phoenix Arizona, and the desert temple nearby that city which was deemed "The New Church of t" (a reference to the Settlement of t and the Church of t within it), all of which he claimed in the name of Holland. Because of EXDF's efforts and economic prowess, Holland became the largest faction of the entire SMP by both number of players (6) and number of cities (6, not including territories or pieces of undeveloped land).

#### Presidential Election of Jan 2021

Like he had promised, EXDF was the first member of the SMP to announce his candidacy for the race under DUTCH2020 and the Mud Party of Israel, which he had founded. He promptly picked Daniel (Dandan) as his running-mate, and the two were only opposed by Katya (HammockOcemeco) with Nick (CardinalCyrusXV) as her running mate. After briefly dropping out, Katya (HammockOcemeco) announced her official run for the presidency for the second time, also under the Mud Party of Israel. With a campaign almost entirely developed by Nick (CardinalCyrusXV), EXDF became suspicious that if Katya (HammockOcemeco) became president, she would be merely puppeted by her vice president. Since this vice president was a tyrant known for his history in admin abuse, EXDF based his platform around being "anti-Nick," which universally translated to anti-tyranny. His other policies included small government, abolishing taxes, pro-individualism, pro-capitalism, anti-mafia, anti-terrorism, and anti-weathermen. He created a series of campaign ads to publicize DUTCH2020, most of which were shown publicly.

On December 31, EXDF was elected to become the first President of the Israel United Nations under DUTCH2020, with Daniel (Dandan) as his Vice President. The vote was 13-0 in favor of DUTCH2020, with Katya (HammockOcemeco) and Nick (CardinalCyrusXV) both voting against their own administration. While the voting officially closed at 10:30 PM, the race was called with a server-wide majority at 4:00 PM. His term officially started on January 1, 2021 and would last until January 31, 2021.

#### Presidency of the Israel United Nations in Jan 2021

EXDF's first act as President was to tear down the barrier wall around Jerusalem, which came with widespread approval due to the wall's intrusion on elytra transportation. At the beginning of his January term, he did not plan to run for a second term due to his belief that he could accomplish all of his goals by the end of one term. At the beginning of his term and toward the end of the first campaigning season, Brendan's (EXDF's player) family had a scare of COVID-19, which ultimately led to his planned utilization of his Vice President, Daniel (Dandan) at UN meetings. He was able to make time to give his speech and organize the first UN meeting despite all of this, however.

During his term, EXDF singlehandedly dismantled Nick's (CardinalCyrusXV) crime family simply by randomly stumbling upon their headquarters in Japan, forcing them to relocate to a much less convenient location. This lack of convenience caused the mafia to become defunct, and ultimately dissolved. Additionally, he assembled a task force to uncover a terrorist who had been severely griefing many personal bases and lands, most notably Katya's (HammockOcemeco) home in Mecca. The terrorist, AngelGamer, confessed to the crimes after being the top suspect of the task force and threatened with an extended ban if he was proven guilty and did not confess. Therefore, although all issues were resolved, the terrorist attacks halted the progress of many projects, especially Stonks Tower in New Moscow and Kepler-22B in Holland City.
