== Beginnings ==
== Beginnings ==
Astrobolt first joined PirateCraft on December 10, 2015. After a few days, he was invited to join [[United States Empire]]. For over a month, he endured countless raids and attacks on Decky Town, [[United States Empire|USE's]] capital. Growing tired of the poorly managed crew, Astro eventually betrayed [[United States Empire|USE]] by destroying the administrative sections of Decky Town. Shortly afterwards, he began construction on a new base in the main ocean, about 500 blocks south of [[The Cove|Cove]].


=== United States Empire ===
This new base, however, did not come without its own issues. Despite being unaware of it at the time, Astro had built it extremely close to [[dagersh|dagersh's]] base. [[Dagersh]], being one of the most powerful players on the server and a member of [[Crusaders of the Void]], forced Astro to move his new ocean base further away. With [[dagersh|dagersh's]] help, a new base was eventually constructed at a safe distance. These events led to Astro developing a strong loyalty towards [[dagersh]] that would help propel Astro to fame.
Astrobolt first joined PirateCraft on December 10, 2015. After a few days, he was invited to the crew [[United States Empire]]. For over a month, he endured countless raids and attacks on Decky Town - [[United States Empire|USE]]'s capital. After getting tired of this, he made a large base in the main ocean, about 500 blocks south of [[The Cove|cove]]. Shortly after building it, [[dagersh]], a very powerful player, made him move.
 
=== dagersh ===
Being in immense debt and owing gratitude to [[dagersh]], Astrobolt became [[dagersh]]'s pet noob. Astrobolt would eventually acquire a skeleton spawner from [[dagersh]], and upon [[dagersh]]'s request, named it "dagersh's bone lounge."


== Rise To Fame ==
== Rise To Fame ==
After several months of being in his own one-person crew, Astro was invited to [[Solis]] by RaveTheWave. During that time he was able to use crew resources to increase his own reputation. Astro stayed in the crew for several months, until Konstruktor quit PirateCraft, which [[Solis]] partially contributed to. These events led to a minor rift in the crew and among the server, prompting Astro to leave [[Solis]] before things got worse.


=== Solis ===
Only a matter of days after leaving [[Solis]], Astro was invited to [[KHAOS]] by souldin1. [[KHAOS]] was one of the many results of the disbanding of [[CoV]] and was comprised of many of the crew's former members. Astro stayed in [[KHAOS]] for several weeks, until being invited to the newly-formed [[The Asylum|Asylum]] by Cysteen.
After several months of being in his own one person crew, Astrobolt was invited to [[Solis]] by RaveTheWave. He stayed in the crew for several months, until Konstruktor quit PirateCraft, which [[Solis]] partially contributed to.


=== Khaos ===
Astro was one of the first people to join [[The Asylum|Asylum]]. [[TAS]] was perhaps the single-biggest factor in Astro's remarkably quick rise to fame. During his several-month stint in the crew, many members, especially [[Moossolini|Jmoo12086]], helped convince Astro that he needed a new base. It was then that he got rid of his stone brick box in the main ocean and made an underground base named [[Mesa Basa]] in the [[Southern Mesa]] near [[dagersh|dagersh's]] base. Astro's new base would later become one of the safest and most famous, yet most secretive bases on PirateCraft. Unfortunately, several months after joining [[TAS]], internal conflicts among the crew started to appear, such as stealing, killing, and intentional ignorance, eventually giving Astro no choice but to leave the crew.
Only a few days after leaving [[Solis]] on his own terms, Astrobolt was invited to [[Khaos]] by souldin1. [[Khaos]] was a crew that several members of [[CoV]] joined after [[CoV]] disbanded. For several weeks, Astrobolt stayed in [[Khaos]] until [[Cysteen]] made the [[The Asylum|Asylum]], which Astrobolt was quickly invited to.
 
=== The Asylum ===
Astrobolt was one of the first people to join the [[The Asylum|Asylum]]. He remained in the crew for several months. During this time, several crew members of the [[The Asylum|Asylum]], including [[Moossolini|Jmoo12086]], helped convince Astrobolt that he needed a new base. It was then that Astrobolt got rid of his box in the ocean and made an underground base in the mesa near [[dagersh]]'s town. Unfortunately, there were internal conflicts such as stealing, killing, and ignorance, which eventually forced Astrobolt to leave the crew.


== Pirate Era ==
== Pirate Era ==
After leaving [[TAS]], Astrobolt temporarily joined Piratequest. Shortly afterwards, he became friends with [[Browe|Browe_]] and they made a new crew called Meat Beaters Anonymous as a joke. [[Browe|Browe_]] and Astro would soon go on to make a new crew called [[Phantom]] with [[Galaxy219]], which would become one of the greatest crews in the history of Piratecraft.


=== Piratequest and Browe_ ===
[[Phantom]], a pirate crew, originated with the intent of making heavy use of ships and having an island base. Taking advantage of the theme of ships, along with the popular Narwhal Song, Astro built the very first iteration of the [[The Phantom Narwhal|Phantom Narwhal]], which itself would have future iterations that would be the most successful ships in the history of PirateCraft's organized ship battles. It was also at this time that Astro became one of the most infamous ship thiefs on PirateCraft. After noticing several common design flaws with standard security measures, Astro led several other members of [[Phantom]] in raids, stealing several ships from [[Port Ae0s|ae0;s island]], along with ships from many significant bases across the server. Shortly after the crew was made, Astro left and disbanded the crew due to internal conflicts.
After leaving the [[The Asylum|Asylum]], Astrobolt temporarily joined Piratequest. Shortly afterwards, [[Browe|Browe_ ]] and Astrobolt made a crew called Meat Beaters Anonymous. (the crew name is an inside joke) Yet again, [[Browe|Browe_]] and Astrobolt made a new crew called [[Phantom]] with [[Galaxy219]].


=== Phantom ===
After leaving the crew, Astro destroyed perhaps the most prized ship in PirateCraft history, [[Browe|Browe_'s]] Phantom Sovereign, later completely destroying it. Later on, Astro commissioned [[Maximus_Terragon]] and [[SnapCrackPlays]] to rebuild the Phantom Sovereign. Soon after, [[Maximus_Terragon]] stole the ship, eventually making it a permanent museum ship at [[The Cove|Cove]]. these events led to the blaze of glory that was [[Phantom|Phantom's]] collapse and made Astro one of the most notorious players on the server.
[[Phantom]], a pirate crew, was designed to use ships frequently and have an island base. Taking advantage of the ships theme and a popular song, Astrobolt created a [[Narwhals|narwhal]] ship. It was during this time that Astrobolt became one of the most infamous ship thiefs in PirateCraft. By utilizing siege mechanisms and builder oversights, he, along with several other members of [[Phantom]], were able to steal several ships from [[Port Ae0s|ae0's island]] along with other ships from various bases across the server. Shortly after the crew was made, Astrobolt left and disbanded the crew due to internal conflicts.


== Idle Period ==
== Idle Period ==
After disbanding [[Phantom]] and destroying the Phantom Sovereign, Astro joined the [[British Empire]] and entered an idle period. During this time he was less active and drifted from crew to crew. After spending several weeks in [[BE]] he left and made the first iteration of the Narwhal Syndicate as a solo crew. He eventually disbanded the crew in order to rejoin [[BE]], which he stayed in for several months until being invited to join the [[Coalition]] by [[Ketoh|Kettoh]].


=== Donald J. Trump ===
After spending several days in the crew, NadolfPickler kicked Astro while he was offline for no apparent reason. Astro was later invited to Black Wake by DriftingSixGuns. Astro soon left Black Wake due to internal conflicts, rejoining the [[Coalition]], and once again leaving to rejoin [[BE]].
After disbanding [[Phantom]], Astrobolt was left crewless. Astrobolt then made the the crew [TRUMP] Donald J. Trump, which has been disbanded. While in the crew, Astrobolt destroyed [[Browe|Browe_]]'s prized ship, the Phantom Sovereign, due to other players provoking him. The ship was eventually rebuilt by [[Maximus_Terragon]] and [[SnapCrackPlays]]. It was soon stolen by [[Maximus_Terragon]]. Astrobolt eventually disbanded the crew to join the [[British Empire]].
 
=== The British Empire ===
Astrobolt joined the [[British_Empire|British Empire]] in the fall of 2017. He left after several weeks due to conflicts involving several other crews.
 
=== Viet Kong and La Famiglia ===
After leaving the [[British_Empire|British Empire]], Astrobolt joined Viet Kong. xMadMonkeyx disbanded the crew soon afterwards to make thew crew [Mafia] La Famiglia. Astrobolt left soon afterwards due to internal conflicts.


=== The Narwhal Syndicate ===
Astro left [[BE]] soon afterwards, joining Dealer's Deck after being invited by [[Lucky_da_Freak|_Freke_]], where he was quickly promoted to leader. Several weeks later, however, Astro left the crew in order to calm increasing aggression from certain members of [[TAS]] towards Dealer's Deck, which was a direct result of Astro's presence in Dealer's Deck. After leaving Dealer's Deck, Astro made the second iteration of the Narwhal Syndicate, which was once again a solo crew. Several weeks later, he disbanded the crew and was reinvited to [[TAS]].
After not being in a crew for several weeks, Astrobolt created the crew [NRWHL] The Narwhal Syndicate. The Narwhal Syndicate's mission is currently top secret. Due to the crew's secretive nature, Astrobolt was the only member. After the crew was disbanded so that Astrobolt could rejoin the [[British_Empire|British Empire]], the Narwhal Syndicate became even more secretive. Its current status is not available to the public.
 
=== The British Empire ===
Astrobolt rejoined the [[British_Empire|British Empire]] in early 2018. After several months, Astrobolt left to join the Coalition.
 
=== The Coalition ===
After being in the [[British_Empire|British Empire]] for several months, Astrobolt left to join the Coalition. He was invited by [[Ketoh|Kettoh]]. After several days in the crew, NadolfPickler kicked Astrobolt while he was offline and for no good reason. Astrobolt was later invited to Black Wake by DriftingSixGuns. During his time in Black Wake, DriftingSixGuns killed Astrobolt for no reason at all. Astrobolt soon rejoined the Coalition. He left again to once more join the [[British_Empire|British Empire]], which he left soon afterwards.
 
=== Dealer's Deck ===
After leaving the [[British_Empire|British Empire]], Astrobolt requested that _Freke_ invite him to Dealer's Deck. _Freke_ invited him and soon afterwards promoted him to leader. After several weeks, Astrobolt left the crew due to conflicts of interest with members of the [[The Asylum|Asylum]], which unallied Dealer's Deck shortly after Astrobolt joined. Astrobolt then remade [NRWHL] The Narwhal Syndicate as a one person crew. After several weeks, Astrobolt was reinvited to the [[The Asylum|Asylum]].


== Return to Prominence ==
== Return to Prominence ==
After being reinvited to [[TAS]] following a long absence from the crew, Astro began to come back from his idle period and return to prominence. However, this stint in [[TAS]] was not meant to be; internal conflicts, disputes with allies and rivals, and fellow crew members harassing him led Astro to leave the crew once again.


=== The Asylum ===
Shortly afterwards, Astro joined [[dagersh|dagersh's]] and [[Elo106|Elo106's]] crew, House Indoril. Despite enjoying his stint in HI and continuing to show his loyalty towards [[dagersh]] and enjoy a good friendship with [[Elo106]], Astro left after once again being reinvited to [[TAS]] by [[Nahadoth]].
After his long absence from the [[The Asylum|Asylum]], Astrobolt was reinvited. He later left due to enemies becoming allies, internal crew conflicts, and some of the other crew members having a lack of even the most basic respect for him.


=== House Indoril ===
Unfortunately, this would be Astro's last time being a member of [[TAS]]. After rejoining, crew leaders decided to cut off the [[Narwhal HQ]] from crew resources such as the iron farm and the guardian grinder. In response to this blockade, Astro developed a way to bypass the blockade and once again gain access to crew resources. While the resources were important, these actions were primarily to prove a point. As a result of these events and the general rising tensions between Astro and the other members of [[TAS]], he left the crew.
After leaving the [[The Asylum|Asylum]], Astrobolt joined [[dagersh]]'s and [[Elo106]]'s crew, House Indoril. He left shortly afterwards due to being reinvited to [[TAS]].


=== The Asylum ===
After leaving [[TAS]] for the final time, Astro made the third iteration of the Narwhal Syndicate and was the only member. He remained in the crew until he was banned on March 6, 2019.
After his short stint in House Indoril, Astrobolt was reinvited to [[TAS]] by [[Nahadoth]]. Astrobolt left the crew shortly afterwards due to internal conflicts.


==== Blockade On The Narwhal HQ ====
== Unban and Return to Glory ==
Astrobolt rejoined [[TAS]] on cautious terms from both himself and the crew. The crew leaders decided to set up a blockade in front of the [[Narwhal HQ]], cutting it off from crew resources. Astrobolt, using the vast research and technological capabilities of [[AstroTech R&D]], was able to find a way around this blockade and once again be connected to crew resources. While the crew resources were indeed important, Astrobolt's actions were for the most part to prove a point. They proved that Astrobolt is just as capable, if not more capable than anyone else in the crew and will use any means necessary to accomplish any goal, no matter how impossible it may seem.
On February 26, 2022, almost 3 years later, Astrobolt was unbanned. Since returning, he has established the fourth iteration of the Narwhal Syndicate as one of PirateCraft's premier crews, forging strong alliances with friends and continuing to expand the crew's territory. He has also taken on the project of heavily renovating [[Mesa Basa]], modernizing its security and other redstone systems in order to return it to its former glory.


=== The Narwhal Syndicate ===
Since creating the fourth iteration of the Narwhal Syndicate after his unban, Astro has shifted the crew's ethos to focus on ships of war and redstone engineering. Additionally, the crew now consists of two other people, [[Decsain]] and Ashgrove22, with [[Decsain]] also being a crew leader.. The Narwhal Syndicate now stands firmly as one of PirateCraft's most prominent crews and, despite only having three members, boasts impressive territory size and full control of the oceans with the current iterations of the [[The Phantom Narwhal|Phantom Narwhal]].
After leaving the [[The Asylum|Asylum]], Astrobolt once again made his own crew called the Narwhal Syndicate, which he remained in until he was banned.

=== The Narwhal Syndicate ===
On February 26, 2022, Astrobolt was unbanned. His current goals are to return [[Mesa Basa]] to its former glory, and to reestablish the dominance of the Narwhal Syndicate.

=== The First Battle of Battle Bay ===
On August 18, 2018, the first ship battle in [[Maximus_Terragon]]'s new arena took place. In classic Astrobolt style, he brought the [[The Phantom Narwhal|Phantom Narwhal]]. Accompanying him as the crew were BlackShadow969, Dark_101, MinisterMoo, and OmegaVenom1. Ultimately, they finished in second place. The battle was well fought given the new rules, new [[Narwhals|Narwhal]], and new arena.

= Ranks =
Astrobolt started as a Deckhand. Quickly, he progressed to Cadet rank. After several more weeks, Astrobolt ranked up to Sailor. When ranking up to Carpenter, his most difficult task was collecting 60 xp levels. Gunner rank had a similar requirement of 80 xp levels. Ranking up to Boatswain was the hardest. It required 100 xp levels, along with 30 days of playtime and other requirements. But after about 8 and a half months of hard work and dedication, Astrobolt finally did it. On November 28, 2016, Shark_Nado donated for Astrobolt to get Lieutenant rank. This was the first time Astrobolt got a donator rank, having reached the highest possible non-donator rank already. After being auto-deranked to Sailor when his donation expired, Astrobolt quickly worked to become Boatswain once again. On June 22, 2018, [[Lucky da Freak|_Freke_]] donated for Astrobolt. This was the first time Astrobolt had been Captain rank. (excluding when [[GodsDead]] promoted Astrobolt to Captain for 5 minutes for testing purposes) During his time as Captain, Astrobolt was promoted to Privateer Rank (staff helper/chat mod) for a 2 week trial period. He was the first player to be chosen for the new helper role of Privateer. Astrobolt also ranked up to Firstmate then - the second-highest non-donator rank in the new ranking system. After his 2 week trial as Privateer expired, he was quickly reinstated permanently. However, in early October of that year he was removed from the Privateer rank for unknown reasons.
