Manfred Schilling

Manfred Schilling was a fictional role-play character on Minedonia portrayed by GodOfLegoz. Schilling was a self-claimed upper-class citizen who had done many different jobs, or "ventures" in his life, including owning the Ol' General Store, and running in the Mayoral Election. He was the leader of the Techno-Droids which were designed by him. He was also alleged to have involvement with the spawning of the Overlord Virus and Perrine and his Skeletons. Manfred Schilling was killed by Mitch Foulkes during the Ultimate Battle on top of a possessed airship.

## Early Life

Most of Schilling's early life isn't known. He was believed to be the next "Kommandant" of Stalag 13, a prisoner of war camp located in Germany. However, that never happened. Schilling moved to Minedonia when he was 20.

## Ol' General Store

Schilling opened the Ol' General Store when he moved to Minedonia. He wanted the Ol' General Store to be a well known store in the new town. Most of his inventory's origins were questionable at the time. As more people moved into Minedonia, the need for the Ol' General Store diminished. It would later close on January 1st, 2022 due to the lack of business.

## Political Ambitions

Schilling published two politically themed books discussing his views on the future of Minedonia. He would later enter in the Mayoral Election with the slogan "Paving the Way for Progress". In the beginning, Schilling enjoyed some popularity from voters. However, after his political rally, Progress Rally 2021, Schilling's popularity quickly suffered. Some of his political opponents even campaigned to send him to prison. The Mayoral Election would eventually be canceled before a mayor was chosen.

## Involvement with Enemies

Schilling would later be alleged to have spawned the Overlord Virus at the Abandoned Casino Building. The Overlord Virus was kept in a bag at the Ol' General Store. No official or criminal investigation has opened up into his involvement with the Overlord Virus. Schilling sometimes is sympathetic for the Overlord.

He would later spawn Perrine in the Perrine Boat Works by tossing Perrine's bones on an old boat. He would, however, later destroy Perrine in the boat works. Just like the Overlord Virus incident, no official or criminal investigation has opened up into his involvement.

Schilling's involvement with his former girlfriend, Haleigh, triggered the spawning of The Boss at Fish Island. The Boss wanted to kill Manfred Schilling for a relationship that happened several years ago. In a surprise turn of events, Schilling was able to get the Skeletons from Perrine's Boat Works to join the fight to defeat The Boss. His house would later be destroyed in an arson attack however, by The Boss and his Menhaden.

Manfred Schilling would design the Techno-Droids on June 21st, 2022, partly as a response to a fictious letter he received about Anne cheating on him; and also as his final venture to take over Minedonia. He used old vehicles from his scrap yard to design his fleet of futuristic vehicles.

## Revolution

On February 23rd, 2022, Manfred Schilling, along with Richard Graive, began the Revolution; in an attempt to take over the government of Minedonia. He ordered the arrest of a Cablevision employee, the seizing of the Executive Mansion, Town Hall, and Court House. The Revolution ended in a stale-mate on April 24th, 2022, with no consequences for Schilling, or Graive.

## Death

On July 23rd, 2022, Manfred Schilling challenged Mitch to a duel on top of a floating possessed airship near the Schilling Building during the Ultimate Battle. Mitch would accept the challenge and they fought briefly. Schilling later became weakened and handed two of his medals to Mitch and said to take care of the town. Schilling's final words were "Mitch, thank you for helping me." After he said his final words, Mitch stabbed Schilling in the chest, causing a giant beam to shoot into the sky, and ultimately killed him.
