A picture of Ryan's Season 4 skin

Ryan (aka. Ry or smolpumpkinrys) is one of the members and a former moderator of the Chained Fates server.

They originally joined the server in Season 2 and have been in most Seasons since. In Season 3, Ryan based far away from spawn as they had a different plan that strayed from the server lore too heavily. During Season 4, the server owner Arrowl made Ryan a moderator to help out around the Discord- and Minecraft server. After the start of Season 5 Ryan quit as a moderator and is now a regular player on the server again.

Season 2 (Year 5BL)

Overview

Ryan joined half way through Season 2 after Arrowl offered tours of the server. These tours never ended up happening but Ryan stayed on the server and built a British-themed cottage about 2000 blocks away from spawn. Later, Ryan's spouse Jordan joined the server as well and moved in with Ryan. There is a minecart rail system in the Nether to access the base from Spawn.

Lore

Ry, a former elven prince, came to Spawn City in the hopes of starting anew. After being exiled for being bitten, and later turning into, a zombie. As they were still sceptical of people and their intentions at this point, they built their base far away from everyone but still tried to stay connected.

Buildings

• Greenhouse - doubled as a bee farm for honey & honeycomb
• British-themed cottage (main house)
• Storage room - next to the cottage
• Raft - replica of Ryan & Jordan's raft in the game Raft
• Mushroom Axolotl pond

Shops

• Grindr - offered service to grind for materials (price per chest)
• Oh Honey - sold Honeycomb and candles

Season 3 (Year 4348AL)

Overview

In Season 3, Ryan and Jordan based together once more, far away from spawn or the Three City Nation. They settled on a big hill next to a huge cave and built a base that connects to itself so you can walk through it in a linear way. The best way to get to this base is through the Nether. Unfortunately, there was no Highway this season that was connected to the portal.

Lore

After falling out with the people in Sakura and Marina, Ry left. They settled on a mountain far away from the nearest knows settlements. As an attempt to stay connected but not actively so, they lit a nether portal in the hopes that things would smooth over. A new base was built, like clockwork. Ry was getting too old for this, maybe it is time for them to meet the end here. They achieved an impressive age for a woodland elf, turned zombie elven archer. A person, Jordan, moved in with Ry. Their soulmate, looking just like the ancestors before them that Ry had loved with all their heart, by their side. We will see if this is the end of the elven archer of if they, or any ancestors, may continue this legacy.

Buildings

• Initial house & storage at the bottom of the mountain
• Door in the mountain which led to a bee farm cave
• Aquarium house (has Axolotls mostly)
• Smelting house just next to the Aquarium one
• Hobbit hole which contains a shortcut to a castle like structure
• Viewpoint house which connects the Hobbit hole with the most upper portion of the mountain
• Dripleaf Abode - highest house elevation wise

Season 4 (Years 1BL - 1AL)

Overview

First lore-driven season. Season 4 started with two settlements, Mangrove Town and Azalea Town. Ryan resided in Azalea Town, just over the mountain and out of view of the city. They based alone this season and heavily included Amethyst, Sculk, Deepslate tiles, and oxidized Copper in their base. The Amethyst castle, as it would later be dubbed, was the biggest base yet and even won an End Of Season Award, which are voted by the members of Chained Fates.

Lore

After their time in Spawn city, Ry took an interest to trees, specifically to Azalea trees. Thus, they moved to the settlement Azalea Town to study these magical trees and their history. Nearing extinction, the Azalea tree had hit a soft spot with the elf, who was the last of their species. At the same time, Mangrove Town down the river flourished with an abundance of Mangrove trees. Despite being from a long line of wood elves that care deeply about nature, Ry disliked the trees for their invasive nature. When they began to take over the local Azalea population, Ry lost their last piece of patience with them.

Not too far from the Azalea sanctuary/Amethyst castle they built, they found a bow in the depths of the swamp. A very powerful bow, reclaimed by nature. The Amethyst shards growing from it and the glowberry akin lights swirling around it drew Ry in. They dubbed this bow Tirannwn. And its fire set even the most dubious foe ablaze. Ry used the bow for good, obviously, the elf would never use it with malice.

After a few years in Azalea Town, Ry decided to leave, bow in hand. Off to new adventures with the friends (and the friends' ancestors) they made along the way.

Season 5 (Year 4345AL)

Overview

Season 5 was very brief as Ryan and Arrowl got into an argument which caused Ryan to leave the server for a while. There were 2 settlements during the season, Marina and Sakura, neither of which Ryan settled in. Their base was connected to the Nether Hub via a bridge, which later got destroyed for lore's sake.

Lore

A colourful cottage was built beside a mountain, on a calm river. After the events of the previous years, Ry needed a piece of quiet. Still connected to the others, the Nether was their main way of transportation. Tensions were high though, and Ry could feel that no matter where they went. They tried to ignore it, even got into gardening, but alas, no no avail. A falling out happened. Words were said, shouted even. The now older elf packed up, leaving the cottage and the tree they had nourished so well behind. A bit of distance was needed for a while and that was okay. They would return at some point.
