Biography
Nathanshawn is known as Nathan to most, but also as Shawn by others. Nathanshawn washed up on the shores of Lima Island on April 6th, 2007. He was soon recruited by Urman into the new crew the United Pirates which was part of the flag Pay for Play. A few days later the United Pirates had reached established fame and Urman wanted to make his own flag. Nathanshawn donated some doubloons to help Urman start the flag United Nations. Nathanshawn found himself as a prince in that new flag and also a senior officer in Urman's crew. Urman quit playing Puzzle Pirates for a time so Nathanshawn joined another crew in his flag.
Upon Urman's return, Urman joined the crew Black as Knights, captained by Stovaotri. Nathanshawn followed him and became a senior officer in Stovaotri's crew. In that time Nathanshawn experienced his first war, one with the Black Hole, United Nations were sucessful in sinking enough ships to persuade Black Hole to agree to a truce. After a while, Urman got tired of Black as Knights and rejoined the little bit left of United Pirates. After that, Nathanshawn, United Pirates and United Nations grew and flourished.
Later, when United Nations got larger, Urman thought it was a good time to get an island. Urman first set his eyes upon Corona Reef and declared war on Jollyjoe and the Viridian Avengers, but Jollyjoe quickly convinced Urman otherwise. Urman then set his eyes upon Viridis Island and started a quick expansion of the flag in number of ships and pirates. Urman soon declared war on Dragon Lords and blockaded the island. Many officers pledged ships, but a few days before the blockade Dragon Lords returned the war declaration. Many of the officers that pledged ships quickly withdrew there pledges. Viridis XIX utterly failed for United Nations due to lack of ships.
After the blockade Nathanshawn and Urman merged United Pirates into the crew Golden nightmares which was also in United Nations. Golden nightmares was captained by Lmeno, a friend of Nathanshawn and former co-senior officer in Black as Knights.
Soon thereafter Nathanshawn, Lmeno and Urman left United Nations which crumbled after they left, and joined his current flag United We Stand and was immediately raised to the position of lord. Nathanshawn is now growing in this flag in his puzzle standings, diplomatic knowledge and experience.
Nathanshawn suffered his second blockade defeat on October 28, 2007 in Olive XVI. Vanguard blockaded Olive Island which was controlled by Collateral Damage, but soon to be transfered to United We Stand. At the same time Fist Deep also blockaded Napi Peak, Collateral Damage's other island. United We Stand defended Olive while Collateral Damage took on Fist Deep at Napi. Due to lack of jobbers, United We Stand pulled out after round 1 and went to help Collateral Damage at Napi, with plans to re-take Olive in the near future.
Golden nightmares then fell apart and many of the senior officers left. Nathanshawn left Golden Nightmares and made his own crew, Fate of War.
Nathanshawn could not handle the large responsibility of being captain so he gave up playing Y!PP for a while. When he returned he merged Fate of War into Lmeno's new crew Golden Avengers, captained by Pokplaya, a former senior officer in Golden nightmares.
On December 30, 2007 Urman returned. Nathanshawn left Golden Avengers and returned to Golden nightmares, which Urman was now captain of.
After a few weeks Golden nightmares dwindled in size and no one but Nathanshawn was active anymore. Nathanshawn joined another larger crew in his flag, Truth be Told, and was made a fleet officer right away by Barbacafe
After about a week his new hearty Tinccan, who Nathanshawn meet upon joining Truth be Told, put up an issue, and so promoting Nathanshawn to senior officer once agian.
It was in Truth be Told that he experienced his third war. Vanguard blockaded Conglin Island. United We Stand returned the war declaration and a sinking blockade followed. Nathanshawn was not very much invovled in this blockade since he had returned from holidays that very day. He did XO one of the war brigs going in though. Although United We Stand fought hard they lost all three rounds. A fierce war followed with Vanguard getting most of the sinks in.
After the war Truth be Told left United We Stand for awhile to rejain strength they had lost during the war.
After a month or so (and many aventures) Truth Be Told rejoined United We Stand. Everyone was happy to see all the people that they had left behind.
May seventeenth brought Nathanshawn to princeship after being nominated for the first term of United We Stand's new Part-time Royalty policy.
