SnapCrackPlays

SnapCrackPlays was a high ranking member of the Elven Empire, and currently holds various powerful positions in the Xanthian order.

Early Days

SnapCrackPlays, or 'Snap' as he is usually known as, joined the server in early 2017. After a stint at commanding his own crew, the Royal Navy, he wanted to join the British empire as a naval officer, and set off on the long journey to London by his old ship, the Triffid. However whilst docking at a small port, Port Imperial, he by pure coincidence, docked alongside a luxurious Elven Indiaman, carrying the Queen of the Elves, Reptaria, as well as the Archancellor, Lord Vanther and BullK5, then general of the Royal guard. The Queen took a particular interest in the young sailor and invited him to come aboard the Indiaman and take tea with the passengers of the ship. Snap explained his current situation, and, after a period of conversation, was persuaded to join the Elven Empire by Queen Reptaria, and because of his knowledge of naval matters was commissioned as a Lieutenant into the Elven navy.

Early Career

After a brief period as third lieutenant of the battleship EMS Conqueror, at that time flying the flag of Admiral Maddoxj70, Snap was given command of the bomb ketch EMS Swordfish. After proving himself as a naval commander, Snap was promoted to rear admiral in an incredibly short time.

The Crusader

After serving a short time as commander in chief of the squadron at Ririon, Snap was despatched along with FinneyD, an eternal legionnaire, Inferno Avenger, a young lieutenant, and RandomJoppee, a seaman, to sneak the battleship Crusader out of the port of JavaInvader and TheSmilingFlea, then the most feared pirates on the server. This he carried out to an amazing standard, even setting the ship ablaze after capture. The Queen showered gifts and promotions upon those who took part. FinneyD was made an officer, along with RandomJoppee, and Inferno Avenger was made captain of the flagship Royal Sovereign. For his part in the capture, Snap was made a full admiral, in command of the entire navy, and made the Earl of Norrington. After the abdication of Queen Reptaria, the queen's wish to her successor was that Snap be made a duke, the highest nobleman in the land after royalty, and a leader. These were carried out.

The Xanthian Navy

Shortly after the abdication, Snap was given an offer from Maximus Terragon, Supreme master of Xanthia, to command the enormous Xanthian fleet as well as retain his title of duke. This he accepted and he now flies his flag in the 100 gun XNS Xenia.
