## Overview

**NateThunder** (full name, "**Jonathan Nicholas Thunder**") or more commonly known as **Nate**, is the founding Emperor of the T**hunderland Imperial Federation** (Also known as the Thunderland Empire or the TLE), and is also the founder and Head of the Iron Council, a group of elite continental leaders who uphold peace and make the decisions to how the continent should be run. He is known for his generous, reserved and friendly nature as well as being generally regarded as one of the most powerful and dedicated players on the Server having played around 50 days (1200 hours+) of play time.

As the Emperor of **Thunderland Empire** he underwent nearly a decade of constant turmoil in the chaos of several wars and conflicts that transpired in the continent of Boveria, often being dragged into conflicts he initially did not wish to participate in such as the One-Day War, the First and Second bOverian War and a rebellion he often refuses to acknowledge, with each conflict slowly pushing him to be more closed off with people close to him and more authoritarian in his policies as Emperor.

Following the conclusion of the Second bOverian War, Nate would double down and work tirelessly increasing his Empires resources, wealth and prestige which led to him presiding over a period of peace known as the 'Thunderland Domination Period' where he managed to bring out peace in the continent with many of the potential nations that could of start a conflict either being a part of his empire or a part of the Iron Council. However, this carefully crafted and cultivated peace Nate had created was threatened by the establishment of a new nation known as The United States of Pogchampia led by Oveq.

Nate was uneasy of the establishment of the new nation, although he would sponsor their endeavors as a gesture of goodwill, and acquiesced at their requests, without much resistance of them buying up the Industrial district in the UVN in exchange for Draggo's Dragon Egg, he generally wasn't all too pleased with the status quo being disrupted and would quietly step up the pressure against them with it leading to Nate going into a one-sided conflict against them with the Thunderland Conquest of 10 BQ or the Thunder-Champion War,

Following the subjugation of Pogchampia, the continent would once again fall back to a period of prolonged peace, with Nate continuing working on projects and further expansion with his Empire even sponsoring Draggo in his construction of his Castle in his Final Grand Project, the closure of the server came abruptly with Nate not entirely given the time to say his good byes, even so he left content, leaving behind a Empire he built up in his 30 weeks on the server proudly.

## Appearance

Nate is a 'human' with light skin, hazel eyes and dark grey hair. He is often seen wearing a blue hoodie, light blue jeans and black trainers. As the Head of the Iron Council, Nate during official council meetings would wear his black business suit attire. Additionally, as the Emperor, he has a royal attire he occasionally wears. The attire consists of a Gold Crown with a Sapphire at its Centre, with the rest being armour with a blue-gold aesthetic.

## Personality

**General Personality**

Nate at the beginning has a reserved and oftentimes friendly personality and cares for those who he considers a friend or ally and would stand by them during wars or troubling times such as political crisis. And was one of the more passive players who often spends his time building with him preferring to resolve conflicts and issues with peaceful means such as discussing matter in a peaceful manner than resorting to bloodshed and violence. However, after many events of betrayal, conflict and death that transpired in his time as Emperor, he progressively grew to become colder and harsher becoming slightly more closed off with friends and allies with him seemingly promoting the use of torture as a viable punishment to those who have wronged him. However, he still retains a strong sense of justice and loyalty with it being his two defining characteristics that he never truly deviated from keeping them very close with his Character.

**Personality Flaws**

Nate is not a natural-born leader with him taking up the position as Emperor as a way to improve his lack of social confidence around others, with him also putting himself through unnecessarily high expectations because he feels as though he must curve his sense of self-doubt and self-worth and his stubborn sense of needing to succeed, with it in a way being an unhealthy coping mechanism, to give him a reason to push forwards to work towards a goal that he may never attain in his lifetime, with it being one of the primary reasons as to why he values pragmatism over emotions.

Another major flaw of Nate is his 'dormant' violent tendencies that bubble to the surface when he feels as those he was wronged or betrayed in a significant way with his hatred and anger often times getting the better of him, with Nate never truly forgiving nor letting go of previous crimes and betrayals people have done, against him in the past, holding extreme grudges which leads to him going too far in punishing his foes, an clear example of such would be when he utterly destroyed and erased in a fit of anger and blinded rage, of any trace of a certain criminal who betrayed and rebelled against him and giving them a demeaning title in accounts of the person he calls a 'creature' a 'thing', had he had his way he would make the creature suffer for the longest duration possible. These dark tendencies are one of the reasons why he was called the 'Mad Emperor' for a time.

As of late Nate has more control over his 'tendencies' although he would still be prone to fits of rage when feeling betrayed or deceived, he overall has maintained his main principles of justice and loyalty and was slowly learning to forgive. As it can be seen with him seemingly forgiving Draggo for his declaration of war against him during the Second bOverian War.

## History

**Humble beginnings**

NateThunder made his descent on the Untitled SMP with the declaration that his Empire will rise, beginning his journey close by Cradle of Civilisation, opting to shelter in the mines and caves around the area. He would weather the first night safely mining away deep underground to collect and make resources for himself, he would emerge from the mines when the sun rose and upon getting his bearing on the surface once again he would then dub mines he came from the Thunder Mines.

Now equipped with an abundant amount of resources at his disposal, he weighed his options and made the collective decision to remain and settle above the mines, building up a house (The first on the Server) on top of the mines preferring to not move all his resources to a distant location which would be a hassle. Following the completion of his House, he would then dig out several ponds nearby the house using them as a temporary food sources for himself, he then began capturing nearby animals which further secured his food situation.

**Acts of Kindness**

**Silver**

At the Start of the SMP, Silver had the reputation of dying quite repetitively to the point that Nate would give him the nickname of '**Silver the Undead**'. Since he repeatedly sees him at the Cradle of Civilisation from his many deaths, Nate would take pity on Silver and would give him some food, and resources for his journeys, after Silver stopped dying, he would return to Nate and give him a enchanted Gold Chest-plate, two gold blocks and a enchanted book which he thanked him for and seemingly all treasured even after he was exiled, he kept the Chest-Plate in his treasure room in the secure confines of his home.

**Lexxous**

Just after the first day on the SMP Lexxous would die to a Zombie and would be respawn back at the Cradle of Civilisation at the dead of Night surrounded by mobs he would quickly make a run for it to his nearby cave home, Nate seeing his plight quickly, came quickly to his aid and fended off mobs from attacking him. He continued to guard Lexxous for a time, giving all the mobs who attempted to attack him a hard beating, with him lighting up much of the area around him and Lexxous in hopes of stopping the Mobs from spawning after a while of Protecting Lexxous he just vanished, after searching for him for a time yielding no results, Nate just decided to cut his loses with the mobs slowly beginning to spawn in and surround him, he returned home considering his 'Job' complete. Later during the SMP when Lexxous required food, he would allow him to harvest his wheat fields. When he required resources and if Nate had spare resources he would often give him the resources with a notable example of him even going out of his way to collect a more sizable amount of clay for Lexxous' when he was constructing the bOveq Statue. Other examples would be Nate giving Lexxous items free of charge that are difficult to obtain without traveling a decent distance with Nate giving him Cactus, Bamboo and even Cocoa Beans from his travels.

**Sunhxlo**

When Sunhxlo was lacking in food and began taking her own life on the server to regain her hunger, Nate slightly perplexed by her methods decided to offer her to use his Wheat fields which she readily accepted with her going to wheat fields to create bread. When she came Nate attempted to give her a Golden Apple as a departing gift but she quickly dashed off which caused Nate to pick up the Golden Apple and followed her in close pursuit in attempt to give her the Golden Apple with him following her all the way to her base of the Mountain which her half-finished home was located. He would drop the Apple to her upon seeing her fall into a small pit and return back home. Later she would repay Nate's kindness by showing him the way to a river filled with squids when Nate required Ink Sacs. Nate would later give Sunhxlo her own Personal set of Netherite Armour with additional gifts to thank her for her continued loyalty even naming a Lake in her honour (Lake Mercury).

**Draggo**

Having captured and tamed a horse that he would name Henry, Draggo wanted a Saddle to ride his new steed, which at the time was quite difficult to obtain. Even still Nate would give him the priceless saddle to Draggo, as a gesture of goodwill from him. Which Draggo would forever be grateful for. Following the passing of subsequent days Draggo would takeover the Nether Fortress in the Nether Realm of which he began settling his options in, but during his nether operations he would fall into the Lava pits beneath the Nether Fortress, he would then jump out of existence which placed himself in a status quo of Life and death (Logging out). Before urgently requesting help from Nate which he quickly went about doing, under his instructions Nate travelled to his secret bunker and grabbed some of his Splash Potions of Fire resistance before entering the Nether and was directed by him to the location he fell down in, Nate would carefully descend into the Lava pit, and constructed a makeshift platform near a Nether brick pillar and threw the first Splash Potions, with Draggo jumping back into existence (logging back in) with him luckily getting the effect and swimming to safety on the Platform Nate Constructed for him. He would thank Nate and would attempt to reward him for his assistance with Netherrite armour to which Nate turned down to the shock and confusion of Draggo. Quite a long time after Draggo once again would be placed in a predicament of near death, this time in the End, with him managing to lose his 'God-Tier Dragon Sword' and glitching out of the Bridge he built to his Enderman Farm. He once again urgently called for Nate's assistance which he would once again answer. With him going into the end with many buckets of water on hand, with him using the buckets to begin waterlogging the Bridge with him using the infinite water source nearby that he had previously created to repeatedly fill his bucket and continue his work. He would complete the long gruelling process with Draggo jumping back into existence (Logging in) and swimming to safety. And was again incredibly thankful and would attempt again to give Nate some type of a reward which he again turned down.

**Zeoqra**

Although Nate was wary of Zeoqra with his open declaration of 'World Domination', he would at first attempt to be kind to him with him helping build up and complete the left and right sections of the walls of Fort Zeo as a gesture of Goodwill between them. He at first seemed thankful for it and gave Nate some of his resources to work with to build the Walls. Nate would give him Sugarcane when he requested some for his enchanting endeavors and some copper when he asked for some for his Copper statue that is the avatar of the Server/Blood God.

**The Thunderland Royal Family**

**Sunhxlo**

A Trusted Advisor of the Thunder Emperor, She is a prominent Nobleman in the Thunderland Empire owning a vast estate, and a thriving business at Thunder Town which she is the Mayor of Thunder Town, following Nate exiling and expelling Silver from the Continent. She additionally holds a Seat in the Iron Council being designated the Role of Minister of Justice and Peace. In 10 BQ Nate would pass the Act of Thunderland Succession, thereby officially appointing and adopting her as the heir to the Thunderland Throne giving her the title of Crown Princess of the Thunderland Empire previously being already his designated heir, which demonstrates the trust he has in her to become a great Leader.

**Alberto**

The Older of his two Villager Sons, Nate found him on his porch as a zombified orphaned villager that he turned back to normal with the help of Lexxous whom he named in his honour and would take under his wing for many years before officially adopting him in 10 BQ and with the Thunderland Succession Act he would be given the title of the ‘First’ Villager Prince of the Thunderland Empire, being second in line to the Throne. He has the typical villager appearance and has the Farmer attire and is noted by Nate as the more docile of the Two princes.

**Draco**

The Younger of his two Villager Sons, Draggo would find him underneath the Thunderland Courthouse while it was undergoing construction as a zombified orphaned villager with him telling Nate of him and two together would transport the Villager to safety and transform him back to normal, and was named in Draggo’s honour. Draggo seemingly wasn’t interested in Draco and Nate would take him under his wing for many years before officially adopting him in 10 BQ and with the Thunderland Succession Act he would be given the title of the ‘Second’ Villager Prince of the Thunderland Empire, being third in line to the Throne. He has the typical villager appearance and has the Blacksmith attire and is noted by Nate as the more stubborn of the Two princes.

**Conflicts and Lore**

When Nate first made landfall on the SMP, he proclaimed to the World that his Empire would rise. Thereby establishing the first Nation on the SMP, however unlike many of his neighbors who chose to form nations of hostility, he chose to make his nation at first one of openness and hospitality, extending friendly ties to many of the Nations across the SMP.

**The Three Betrayals:**

**The Betrayal of Loyalty (DDPB)** not long after he founded his Nation he would be visited by DDPB, whom he welcomed into his Nation, with open arms, Allowing him to have quarters in his Town, not long after he began to overstep his Station, and began challenging the Thunder Emperor's Authority with him participating in espionage work against his nation having enough of him he would exile the traitor, throwing out all his items and declared that should he return to his lands, he would be KOS.

**The Betrayal of Trust** **(Zeoqra)** Broke the Thunder Accord, and sacked Thunder Town, and slain his wolves, and livestock, despite the day being rolled back in one of the many Miracles the bOveq, enacted, he never forgot nor forgave him completely for this betrayal.

**The Betrayal of Friendship (Draggo)** - The Breaking of the Emperor's Bond was one of the most upsetting betrayal of the three, With the Thunder Emperor remarking of the Incident "It was just land, that served no real use for him, he already had plenty, even him all of the loot from within.
