Count Dooku, known as See0(\_)(\)7 6[z4|)(\_)0(\) in Freegian and is real name Nick is a fondly remembered character in the Miiverse GEOAdventures.

## Description

Graduon at his finest is an astute Sith Lord, wise, powerful, most of all evil. This reflects Graduons tactics which are often characteristic of the Sith. Graduon typically relies on manipulation to win people over to fight his battles for him. To some degree Graduon was indeed a successful manipulator as one would expect from a Sith Lord but this was also accompanied by a strong sense of neuroticism: also characteristic of some members of the Sith. Graduon, GEOs nickname from Count Dooku stems from GEOs comparison to Dooku to a similar villain from the Sonichu universe. Graduon responds likewise by calling GEO: Negman- the NNID of GEOs main account. Graduon is known for having his own character archetype: Graduons- villains who either have very few underlings or are one man armys who deal with their opponents through gossip and manipulation rather then direct combat.

## Origins

GEO and Graduon met through users such as IvoEggman and Aaron and had been friends for quite some time. They even were in the same alliance-group. They were great friends who looked out for each other. It is specifically telling that GEO and Graduon frequently gave each other gifts through e-shop cards. At one point Graduons apprentice: Sug sent GEO a message complementing him on his strong relationship with Graduon.

Graduons most astute piece of wisdom he endowed GEO with was that GEO, "Should get real estate in the Wii Sports Clubs." Graduons advice would be one of the best decisions GEO ever made on Miiverse and would lead to the most prominent sagas of the Miiverse GEOAdventures.

## WSC

Following Graduons advice,  Freege went on its merry way conquering communities and becoming extremely successful. Soon  Freege would fuse with Morimotos group to share 2/3s of the WSC Communities with Morimoto. GEO did not forget his good friends advice and would soon return the favor by gifting Graduon The South East Britain community. This began Graduons process of unifying the UK communities that would be his main holding and base in the WSC. At this point, alliance was still very strong and  Freege even shared intrigue with Graduon on Bigleys plan to conquer parts of Britain from him.

The war in  Madeira would be the basis of a turning point in GEOs relations with Graduon. The war in  Madeira sapped away GEOs trust in his traditional alliances and the ideological disagreements between GEO and Graduon exacerbated the situation. The first flashpoints took place in a forum discussing  Madeira and would end with GEO and Graduon threatening eachother with war. At this point, they knew it was not worth it but this would be the start of increasingly tense relations between Graduon and GEO. This would come to a climax when GEO proclaims Denning as his heir.

## Axis Alliance Arc

Graduon was nothing short of livid about GEOs decision to make Denning his heir instead of Aaron. Graduons response included various measures that caught GEO by surprise such as blocking GEO out of various group chats. It is at this point that Graduon begins the role his archetype is known for. Graduons first and most damaging maneuver is by spreading rumors that  Freege consists solely of alts. Graduon was able to convince many of his friends about this. As a result GEO had to frequently prove they were not alts.

Graduon next appeared in PEIC trying to manipulate Denning into betraying  Freege. Coincidentally, GEO would later find out that Denning indeed had plans to betray Freege and obtain full hegemony over the WSC. In addition, Graduon appeared at various battlegrounds with the hopes of hindering  Freeges operations. One particularly funny reaction from Graduon was from Boogies campaign in Georgia which  Freege heavily aided. Despite Boogie being in charge of the campaign and instigating it, Graduon directly attacks Freege over the campaign saying, "My master will never forgive Freege for this treachery!" This would later be a meme between GEO and friends.

## Resignation regarding the Sith Empire

Graduon would eventually resign from his post as leader of the Sith Empire. When Graduon resigned, he declared the people  he put in charge of his territory's as the new owners of the UK Communities they were put in charge of. However,  Freege seeing this event as a prime opportunity to take the communities without directly fighting Graduon, disregarded Graduons declaration and took each of the UK Communities. Graduon took extreme offense to this and personally sought an audience with GEO in  ITA Centre: Considered by many outside of  Freege to be the  capital of Freege. GEO denies fighting Graduon directly and as a result, the conversation is at a stand still. Eventually, Graduon finally gives up on his effort to get GEO to apologize for going to war with him.

Freeges acquisition of the UK Communities presented a grievous offense to Graduon. So much so that Graduon decided to directly fight Freege, albeit barely. Out of spite, GEO put Skelter in charge of one of the communities  on behalf of Freege. Afterwards, Graduon lies dormant.

## TFAO Alliance

Graduon would join the political fray once again in the TFAO Alliance era. Graduon, meeting his old friend Owen again is invited to join the TFAO alliance. Nevertheless, Graduon discovers that GEO is a member of this alliance and promptly declines. Afterwards, Graduon began a series of maneuvers against GEO. Graduons begins by making various posts in the Maryland community designed to manipulate GEO. However, GEO saw through Graduons intentions and ignored it. Then, Graduon ran for a position in Ducks Miiverse cabinet. However, this plan is foiled by MO who used his newly acquired contingency alt to run in the race. Through the efforts of various members of Freege, the election is rigged in favor of MO causing Graduon to lose. Graduon is infuriated over his loss and responds with an intense eight post rant about Freege hoping to persuade Duck into nullifying MOs victory. After about fifteen minutes, Graduon deletes his rant after realizing how amused GEO would be if he read it. Later, GEO would send Graduon a message titled, "Deepest Felicitations Count Graduon.". The intensity of the message was so profound that the messages title would become an expression frequently used by Freegians to denote the prelude to an intense confrontation. This private message became a very intense confrontation between the ideological differences and personal beliefs towards the both of them.

Another maneuver Graduon made against GEO was an irredentist stunt: Graduon sends a message to GEO with the intention of persuading GEO to let Graduon own the London Community again. GEO responds to the offer with complete apathy. As a result, Graduon turns to his good friend Owen: another landowner with clout in the TFAO Alliance. Owen accepts Graduons suggestion, despite not being the owner of the community. When it became clear Graduon was claiming ownership of the community, he is stopped by the Freege garrison. Then, GEO persuaded Owen to disavow his previous response to Graduon. Another major turning point against Graduon occurs when GEO posts his private messages with Graduon on the TFAO Discord Server. In the messages, Graduon congratulates GEO on the latest victory acquired by  Freege and suggests that they should team up. Skelter however, reveals that Graduon passed a completely different narrative to him. Graduon suggested to Skelter that  Freege was on the verge of death and that the two of them should work together and take down  Freege.

Eventually various other members of the TFAO Alliance posted their private messages with Graduon. Through each of the TFAO Alliance members private messages with Graduon, they find out that Graduon had tried to play each of them against each other. Later on, Graduon would return to his good friend Owen in order to solicit aid for a military campaign. However, Owen knew that Graduon intended to use this aid for another unscrupulous plan and told Graduon to stop asking him for help. Graduon, realizing he cannot procure the military aid from Owen he needed to exact his plans, leaves the Miiverse battlefield somewhat peacefully.

## Return

Graduon returns to Miiverse once again. Instead of harboring his typical ambitions, Graduon was fairly apathetic towards the idea of achieving hegemony in Miiverse politics. As a result, Graduon displays a much nicer disposition. It is in this time period that Graduon goes from being a dangerous antagonist to a friendly protagonist. GEO and Graduon typically spend their time together on Miiverse or Discord reflecting on the state of their life. In addition, Discord has now became the main medium for GEO and Graduon to talk between. Besides that, GEO and Graduon also enjoy talking specifically through voice chats too.

## Three Way Rivalry

Throughout the Miiverse GEOAdventures, GEO was not Graduons only rival. Similarly, HH was not only a rival to Graduon but a rival to GEO as well and this made for a three way rivalry between them. Out of GEOs two rivals, Graduon was always seen as the more competent and more dangerous rival. Fittingly, any act against Graduon was considered a high risk high reward endeavor relative to the calm and often forgiving HH. In addition, each member of the Three way rivalry followed a different political ideology. GEO being a Fascist, Graduon being a Liberal and HH being a Conservative.

Unlike GEO, Graduon and HH are both Texans. Much like Graduon, HH and GEO were initially friends but GEOs close alliance with Denning slowly tore their alliance apart. In addition, GEO was annoyed over HHs dismay for his Fascist beliefs. In fact, GEOs desire for someone who shared his Fascist beliefs was why he made Denning his heir at that time. Soon, HH became a bona fide rival of GEO when his allies: the Triforce Alliance pool their efforts together to defeat  Freege. After losing a long and drawn out war against  Freege, HH decides to make a mega alliance called the Entente Alliance. Initially, the Entente Alliance nearly overwhelms  Freege but HHs fortune proves to be short lived when  Freege forms a mega alliance of its own called the TFAO. The TFAO swiftly defeats HH in one front after another until HH was completely defeated once again. As opposed to HH, Graduon generally was never a direct combatant but instead an opponent always in the shadows, making moves that were just as damaging but far more subtle.

## Aaron

Throughout the time they shared on Miiverse, Graduon was one of Aarons most resilient friends. Graduon served as something of a teacher to Aaron. To this day, Aaron still considers himself a student of Graduon. Unlike GEO, Graduon and Aaron adhere to the same political ideology. Graduons friendship with Aaron dates back to a time before GEO knew Graduon. In fact, GEO was introduced to Aaron through Graduon. The friendship of GEO, Graduon and Aaron was often compared to the friendship between Sigurd, Quan and Eltshan in Fire Emblem 4. Graduon was specifically compared to Sigurd, Aaron was compared to Quan and GEO was compared to Eltshan.
