Abstacious is a Montrosian politician and figurehead. He is most notable as a former Consul of the Sylvian Union, Header of Montrose, and Sylvian Commissioner of Bruh.

Server History

First Steps

On 12 April, 2019, Abstacious joined the Elgeis Minecraft Server from an invite from his friend argetlam04 (then MHJ04). Like many others, he wanted to be in the same nation as the person who invited him, so became a citizen of Montrose under the Sylvian Union. Abstacious, along with the recently-returned BiteZaDusto4901, unknowingly settled in old RnanG land, actually part of the Sylvian Union Federal Province. FlyingGMM, Header of Montrose, took this as an opportunity to purchase said land from the Federal Province, thus placing them both in Montrosian territory. Two days later, Abstacious invited his own friend, ClaimingBand, to the server, and he too settled in the newly-acquired land.

Abstacious began construction of a large underwater glass dome that would become his house. According the surrounding lore, Abstacious' pet wolf, "Ander", sacrificed itself to provide protection to Abstacious and the glass dome. Thus, the dome acquired the name "Andervale".

Rise to Prominence

Following the ban of dinoking98, the tower that once housed his corporation stood contested in the waters between HUM and Goomnest. Prominent Sylvians expressed desire for the tower to be taken down, as it had been willed to and claimed by Goomnest. It would be Abstacious who would singlehandedly dismantle the quartz tower himself on 21 April. GoatWhisperer, then Consul of the Sylvian Union, created the title "Hero of the Union" to laud Abstacious for his work. A monument made of the same quartz from the DEInc tower would also be erected in the Federal Province in dedication to Abstacious.

Having already made a name for himself, Abstacious began seeking a more active role in Montrose and Sylvia. He entered and won the election for Montrosian delegate to the Sylvian Union. FlyingGMM appointed him Trankmeister, master of potions, on 28 April. And Abstacious even became one of the four "Besties" of Toe Gang on 18 May for letting them out of the floor of Gabeford, replacing goomyman77.

Beyond the Border

On 17 May, the size of the world map was expanded from 1000 blocks in each direction to 2000 blocks. Abstacious was one of the first to explore the uncharted territory, once again earning him "Hero of the Union". However, he broke an agreement between the Sylvian Union and Goomnest to stay to their respective halves of the map. For this, he was punished.

A day later, Abstacious would be the first to discover the mushroom island that today houses Goatwear. A small Montrosian colony was established on the island, with Abstacious as its head. This venture was not particularly significant, but the role would later be reformed on 7 July into Abstacious becoming "Minister of the West Sea" for Montrose, a title he still holds to this day. Abstacious was placed in charge of prismarine harvesting and given his own office in Fort Skardaz.

Minor International Contributions

The military career of Abstacious also began around this time. He served in Toe Gang's war against Ravvsend on 27 May and the Bagelonian Occupation of Goomtown on 24 June.

He also attended multiple weddings: Toe Gang's as ongstoes' best man and his own to argetlam04 (still MHJ04) on 2 June.

Abstacious invited TToad to the server on 29 May and Ob2 on 20 June. The latter would go on to form Botania, and Abstacious would be a major proponent of the Sylvian Union's alliance with the small nation.

Header of Montrose

On 16 July, BadhorsieJake entered the End Dimension at a time when it was closed off by the Kingdom of Vailan. He proceeded to go on the run as a fugitive, and attacked Vailan by burning their villager town, Rainbow Row. Abstacious joined Sylvia and Vailan forces in an attempt to capture the fugitive, which was ultimately successful. BadhorsieJake was secured in the Fort Graham Prison Cell, and eventually escorted away by the leaders of Vailan and Stradova. Neither him nor FlyingGMM were permitted to be present during BadhorsieJake's trial, but they both pillared up using scaffolding anyway to see the trial occurring from afar.

The following day, it was discovered that FlyingGMM had, during BadhorsieJake's time as a fugitive, provided BadhorsieJake with some flint and steel. Out of guilt, FlyingGMM resigned as Header of Montrose and bestowed the role upon Abstacious (this was still a time when Headership could be transferred at will). The same day, Al A'deaq declared war on the Sylvian Union. Abstacious fought and died twice in the Al A'deaq Crusade while performing his duties as Trankmeister, and spearheaded efforts in Montrose to fix all the damage done by the terror cell.

Abstacious continued carrying out his duties as Header for 1 week before happily returning the title back to FlyingGMM.

Sylvia-Vailan Coalition War

Following the impacts of the Al A'Deaq Crusade, Abstacious began doing minor work within Montrose and developed many plans and ideas, many of which would never see the light of day. Vetous even attempted to cleanse of heathenism during an unsuccessful ritual. On July 27, however, Abstacious left on vacation for a week. He did not even have access the Discord Servers, and when he came back, he was shocked at the political turmoil which had brewed while he was away.

Some of the items BadhorsieJake took from various Montrosian locations.

Due to him returning the very day of the War of Northern Aggression, Abstacious was given very little time to prepare, and was forced to fight the war with extremely lacking equipment. He did, however, manage to catch BadhorsieJake as a Vailandic spy due to him hiding stolen items in the open. Abstacious fought at the Second Battle of Gabeford and helped defend Sylvian frontiers from Vailandic shelling. He was killed once by Flashy10.

The next day, guerrilla war between the two sides began. Abstacious burned down and blew up the entirety of Rainbow Row, with the assistance of FlyingGMM. He then worked with a large coalition of Sylvians and Toe Gangers to destroy the house of Magos_Aspace and break into Vailan's unsecured vault (from which he took 1 piece quartz as a war trophy). Abstacious also worked with FlyingGMM to blow up and loot Oarfans' house (from which he took 1 spruce sapling as a war trophy).

On August 6, the War of Northern Aggression ended, and Abstacious was able to return to life as normal. He repaired damage within Montrose and worked with other citizens to help with reconstruction efforts.

Epic Montrose Time

On August 13, FlyingGMM declared Epic Montrose Time, "in which all things Montrosian will be done—epicly". Abstacious was appointed as Quartiermeister for Montrose, and began working on automatic farms for the Montrosian Industrial District. It was around this time, however, that Abstacious began going willfully inactive for the first time since he joined the server due to general boredom with the server and IRL events.

When he returned, Abstacious helped goomyman77 trap turtle2dj and published his very first book, How to Run Your Country: A Satire.

Consul of Sylvia

On September 15, after argetlam04 was recalled from the position, Abstacious was voted in as the 4th Consul of the Sylvian Union. Under his rule, Sylvia found and claimed the 2nd End Portal and adopted Mommy Sylvia as the nation's mascot. Abstacious participated in policing the Zoning Violation Bridge Protest, although there was little to be done there.

Abstacious's policies during his time as Consul were mainly that of international peacekeeping, diplomacy, and internal growth. Major enemies of the Union during this time included MedimaNN, Pheonix_Fire123, guptacakeman, and mejackmac. Abstacious helped Sylvia forge numerous new alliances with the likes of Fianna, Schevakia, and Illyria.
