Termen I (January 1, 900 - January 1, 1000) was an ancient king in the 10th century, and an ancestor of many great robloxians. He was born into poverty, but climbed his way up and became the king of Broc-Heeva. On his journey of becoming king, he was a merchant (to help his father), an artist, a horse groomer, and then a jouster.
Life
Early Life
Termen Michael Juno Naymay was born on January 1st, 900 to Otto the Merchant and Jean Baptiste in a small hut made out of 4 clay walls in the grasslands of what is now the border between Kionne Republic and Bloxoming. His father, Otto was a descendant of the strongest family in Broc-Heeva in the 3rd millenium BC, founded by Laisder, and his mother grew up in a poor family from Rogaulia, founded by Bois DuBois.
Termen went to a small school in what is now known as Havenford from 906 until it was destroyed by a few peasants In 912. Because that was the only school in the hamlet, Termen had to be educated at home, by his own parents. At the time, Termen's family was so poor that the only things they had were a 42 year old horse that was about to die very soon, food they had caught the week earlier that was about to run out, 3 pairs of clothes (one for each), and 12 coins worth of merchandise that was saved up. They also only had 2 coins. In 913, Termen went walking in the forest and saw that there was a bigger city on the other side, this meant more money, so he told his parents. They later moved to the city, which is now Phemford City.
Teenage Years
As soon as the set up the shop in the city, tens of people formed a giant line. So much merchandise was bought that stock was out in just 6 hours! Now, the family had 14 coins (~R$19,600 today). Now, at this point, the family were top peasants (middle class). Termen and his dad kept selling, then saving, then buying, and repeating the process over and over again until they accumulated a total of what would've been 2,600 coins (R$3,600,000 today), but most of the money was stolen, so they only got 980 coins (R$1,260,000 today) after a year.
Now, the family was rich, but Termen did not want to help in his dad's merchant business, so his father punished him severely and told Termen his life was going to waste, until his mother told him that he could teach his son to be an artist like his grandfather, Juno, the father complied. When Termen turned 15, his father taught him how to draw, but Termen did not like it as he thought it was useless. 2 Months later, Termen was introduced into grooming horses, but one day while he was cleaning, the horse suddenly died and he was fired. His father was extremely frustrated as his son had failed twice, so his punishment was he had to start jousting. At first, Termen was mad because there was no protection at the time, but when he started doing it, he found it amusing. Also, Termen loved that he was able to do tricks and impress people, so he continued jousting until he was 17.
On July 17, 917, a terrible incident occured. Termen was in the finals of a game that was going on for 8 days straight due to multiple ties (something which is extremely rare). The judges were thinking of ending the game, but they decided to continue due to the excited audience. In the fourth draw of the game, the opponent became so explosively, combustively frustrated that he had a heart attack immediately, but with the last of his strength, he struck Termen at the top of his cranium. Termen won that fight with a slim margin. For 89 days, Termen had to spend his time in medical care, which costed his family 390 coins as it was an extreme procedure that required the doctors to work tiredly. Now they only had 740 coins (Termen gave some to his family), and Otto was fuming mad because Termen got himself into this mess, so he kicked Termen out of the house once and for all, also giving him half of the 740 coins. Termen realized he had no job, no house, and a mad father, so he wanted to cheer him up, and everyone else who was struggling, so he wanted a job that would change lives. He wanted to be a King.
Adulthood
From 919 to 929, Termen gained the respect of many people by helping others in need. He gave food to the poor, he bought clothes for the people without them, he helped clean animals again, he even planted trees in the village (there were very few of them), he did all of this to gain a great reputation so he could become king, and it worked! These good acts caught many people's attention, and they all started to love him for this. They loved him so much that one person drew him wearing a beret with a feather ontop in August of 929. The drawing caught the attention of a woman named Baeutor Jan (902-979), who had heard of his actions. Baeutor came up to Termen in July 930 and proposed to him, immediately after, they got married. In August of 931, Termen and Baeutor had a child named Termen Twono Naymay, who would be called Termen II.
In 935, Termen went on an election to become mayor, and due to his hard-earned reputation, he won and officially became mayor of the village that is now Phemford City, but he wanted more. He didn't just want the power of a mayor, he wanted the power of a king, so in 940, Termen immigrated to the Noobly Empire, a way larger city than the village Termen was at. 2 Years later, he went on an election, but he came in fourth. At this point, Termen wanted to give up, but he thought about the people who needed someone else to take of them, so in 943, he moved to the land where his ancestors came from, Broc-Heeva, knowing they would be familiar with him, but 2 days after he arrived, another unnamed tribe came and attacked, but Termen fought back for the city. Enjoyed by this act, Termen was crowned king in 945.
After Termen was crowned king, the former ruler erected a statue of him, with the help of some civilians who volunteered, then in 951, a coin made out of an unknown material was created of him. Before his death, these are the events that happened after Termen's first coronation. In 960, Termen went to The Redcliff Empire to see what was happening there, but in just 3 days, he was recognized as the kind person he was, so because of how notable he was, his coronation as King of the Redcliffs came in 961, at 61 years old, this could possibly be the record for the oldest Robloxian to be coronated. In 969, there was an assassination attempt on Termen, probably executed by a Korbloxian or another Redcliff who was jealous, but he survived it. In 973, Termen's son tried overthrowing him, but he failed and was sentenced to 4 years in jail. In 976, Termen started struggling to have control of two thrones at the same time, and he noticed his son was kind and eager to be king, so he let go from the Redcliff throne and gave it to his son, who was 45 at the time.
In 980, Termen realized he needed to spend time with his grandchild and child, so starting from that year, he visited his family every 3 months. Also, on the 9th month, Termen was introduced to sweets, and he loved them, so he starting eating them very often, this would take a toll on his life in the future. In 984, Termen had a mini heart attack
