Oldwater is a pirate on the Emerald Ocean. His name is slightly based off of the Greek god, Nereus or Proteus.

The beginning

Oldwater started on February 24, 2011 on the ocean Sage, with a new name and an old past he had returned as he had vowed. He joined the crew Iceholes of the flag Twisted Parallax where he quickly advanced his stats and rank. Soon he became a senior officer and was a well respected member of both the crew and flag. Years passed quickly and Oldwater's fortune slowly grew, he often helped fund the flag for blockades, ships and stock. He spent some time as a merchant, trading mostly in ships, pets and the occasional rare item. He also spent some of his time running stalls, while most were iron mongers, he also attempted an apothecary. Oldwater also tried his hand at running forages, but quickly became bored. Late in 2013, shortly after the merger the Sage and Hunter oceans, he retired himself from ship duties and began to focus instead on poker.

The crisis era

Early in 2013 Twisted Parallax headed by Iceholes decided on a final gambit, to take Admiral Island as their own. But, alas! Even with funding from Oldwater and mass ocean support their attempt was crushed by trickery, the defenders had charged 100% tax and built 10 million PoE to pay jobbers, and thus the blockade was lost. Shortly after this loss the crews and flag disintegrated over a month's time. Having met one final time with the leaders of his crew and flag, they went their separate ways. Oldwater joined Alynway, who once was a lady in Twisted Parallax, in her crew The Chat Boochers of the flag Slightly Pixilated, where he happily remains to this day.

The poker era

Many fortunes were won and lost early in this era. But with the help of Teemo and Dachimpy's Basic Poker Guide, Oldwater became a disciplined player. Most of Oldwater's PoE was won through poker. Though rumor has it that he brought himself out of retirement and can rarely be found running pillages on his fanchuan Folly of Old or Cursed Islands with crew members on his sloop Cursed Island Major.

The shoppe era

A couple months after the poker era, Oldwater invested his winnings in a shipyard on Alkaid called Floating Bananas. The entertainment that it brought him placed a wanting within him to run a shipyard on Admiral. Shortly after the Dream class sloop had ended, Oldwater bought Pulp Frigtion from a hearty, renaming it to The Old Man and the Shipyard, making it his own. In order to focus on Pulp Frigtion, he sold Floating Bananas. He did very well in the months to come, and indeed purchased a second shipyard on Admiral; On Stranger War Brigs, which he renamed Sea Monsters Ink. Though he had different plans for the second shipyard, which are now in motion.

The economic era

From the poker era through current, Oldwater is known to be exceptional at appraising items upon request. Due to life changes and lapses in activity, Oldwater may not be up-to-date on many things, but he will explain that if he believes it to be the case. During this era, Oldwater also became fairly well known as an adamant supporter of Pegasiswolf's Xmas in July event. This is the era most akin to what a pirate's retirement should look like, one of leisure and no carp stations.
