Vladimir H.M. Rasponov, Owner und Founder of Rasponov Innovating Industries und Leader of Caveni Island, Is the most Wealthiest und powerful man in the whole world.
Having been born in June 1805, Rasponov saw the rise of technology und the change from the Expansionist Era to the Modern Era.
Thank to his invention of the Life Extender in 1852, Rasponov managed to live longer than anyone else in the world.
He has Lived trough several wars, served in various militaries, making him very disciplined und a great tactician
He has been in the Foreign Legion army, Has served in the Zulu und Boer war, lived trough World War I, II und served in the soviet military during the cold war.
Back in 1823, Rasponov Found the League of Extraordinary Inventors, the predecessor of Rasponov Innovating Industries.
The League of Extraordinary Inventors (or LEI for short) featured a group of 5 inventors (tho it quickly grew to 17 Inventors, due to the success of the company), with Rasponov on top, making sure everyone had their share of money from the inventions, as he did the distribution along with the sales of his own inventions.
The company Reached it's peak moment in 1856 where it made millions a month in profits.
The company fell in 1857 when an explosion destroyed the whole company building, killing almost everyone in the progress, only Rasponov und a few others survived.
This is where the Life Extender came in handy, keep Rasponov alive whilst he healed und got stronger
First, the Life Extender was a big machine, a big kart that also powered Rasponov's Wheelchair so he could drive to other rooms in the house or go to other places outside his house.
But eventually, in 1868, Rasponov made a wearable Life Extender, which he could wear as a backpack, with all hoses connecting to his neck.
He then joined the French Foreign Legion until 1875, where he was left for dead by his superiors when they were ambushed in a mission.
Rasponov left for the British army und stayed there, fighting in the Zulu war und medicating his troops in the Boer war, until he felt he was needed elsewhere und left in 1892.
Rasponov went to Germany und started a store again, selling relics he dug up und discovered on his many travels to the unexplored lands.
But in 1914 disaster struck. The Great War had risen und all men were called in to serve the army. Rasponov didn't want to, but sadly had no choice but to join.
As there was a shortage of officers, Rasponov was assigned to the role of NCO.
Armed with a Luger, a stielhandgranate, a whistle, his binoculars, his pipe und tobacco, Rasponov soon became the terror of the trenches, as he had deadly precision und was always determined to finish the job.
In the winter of 1916, Rasponov got injured due to a danger close artillery strike, which hit him und tore of his leg, arm und ear, some shrapnel flew into his right eye, causing him to loose that eye.
Everyone thought Rasponov had died, but amazingly, the next morning, the German soldiers who served under Rasponov, found him nearby the trench they were stationed in, crawling for safety of the trench.
They quickly brought him to the medical tent, where he was examined und his wounds were closed.
They hooked Rasponov back on his Life Extender, hope he would survive.
After a week, the bleeding stopped, all veins had healed, but the wound itself stayed open.
So Rasponov, with what consciousness he still possessed, designed an arm, leg und ear horn for his wounds, which his soldiers carefully crafted for him.
At first the arm hung lifelessly next to his body, und he had to drag his leg with him as he stepped.
But Rasponov, whilst browsing trough all his old stuff in his store, found some crystals which, when he held them in his hand, made his prosthetic limbs move as they were normal limbs. He quickly made a new arm with a claw at the end, with a slot in it for the crystal, as he attached it to himself, the arm immediately sprung to life und moved as he would move a normal hand to attach everything to himself again.
Now with a leg und arm that moved, rasponov joined the army again in 1917 as a pilot for der luftwaffe, after learning the basics for an airplane he designed his own planes which he let his squadron use in battle.
nearing the end of The Great War, Rasponov realized that what he knew was gonna happen, actually happened. Germany was losing und would soon lose the war. So Rasponov took his plane, und his belongings und flew to the allied airfield, whilst hanging a white flag under his plane. Rasponov told the allies everything on promise they wouldn't harm him, und he would even aid the allies in battle
So Rasponov was given a Belgian uniform, a rifle und threw him in the battlefield.
Rasponov fought on for three months before the war finally ended.
Rasponov, tired of war und troubled, moved to Ukraine, where he founded Rasponov Innovating Industries.
After some troubled years, he managed to make the company successful whilst selling his old (und new) inventions to the whole world
People flocked to the succes of the business und soon RII (Rasponov Innovating Industries for short) grew out to an international company, selling weaponry, tools, vehicles und much more to the world.
The company started to make atleast 24.000 a day before the Second World War started.
Rasponov decided he would shut down the company for the duration of WWII und then joined the Russian army to fight against the Axis.
He quickly rose from Private to General Rank, leading his troups into victory untill the war ended in 1944.
Rasponov went back to his company, all tho now he started to like being in battlefields, the thrills und adrenaline rushing trough his veins.
So Rasponov started to work with the soviets as a mercenary.
In 1963, Rasponov was playing a poker game in a bar in Moscow, where he placed his Company as a wager.
His opponent, threw in his private Island in the Bermuda Triangle as a wager, where as the two other opponents withdrew themselves from the game.
After some 15 nerve breaking minutes, Rasponov came out as victor in the poker game, earning him the Island.
Rasponov went with his private ship towards this island to inspect everything, where he discovered the island was an old WWII hidden base on an old sleeping volcano.
Rasponov moved all his stuff to this Island, hired a big crew to build on the Island for him as he designed everything for the Island
He designed a lavapump that would be placed inside the crated of the volcano, pumping out the lava to make the Island inhabitable.
When the pump dug itself deep enough in the magma tube, it changed up to become an energy core, using the magma to power everything on the island.
The builders on the island decided that they wanted to live on the island, as there were people needed to keep everything working.
So the Town of Caveni was founded, existing out 50 builders und Rasponov himself.
They started Building on Rasponov's Mansion und the laboratories under it.
Eventually, in 1973 the Project known as Caveni Island was complete. The Island had an airport, docks, a submarine base, underground passages, the research labs of Rasponov Innovating Industries und 4 factories.
Whilst mostly automated the factories still needed people to run it, as did the research labs require scientists und testsubjects; making the Island grow from 51 people to 243 people.
Rasponov hired mercenaries to protect the island, und had people move to the island so that the town could have grocery stores, a spa, a library, und a cinema.
Eventually the Island reached it's peak of 321 people who lived on the island, und another 400 who came to work in the factories und laboratories when the inhabitants of the Island weren't on shift.
As they were with so many people, the Island needed a true leader, und, Rasponov, since he owned the Island und the Company on the island, got elected as leader for this Island.
