Docterchese is a Wurm Online player and former Wurm team member. Having played since October 2011, Doc has lived on many of the servers on the [[Freedom Isles]], including two years of PvP experience on [[Chaos]]. Initially beginning as a [[carpentry|carpenter]], Doc has since shifted her focus into [[mining]] and [[blacksmithing]], amongst many other skills in which she specialises. Additionally, Doc has ran a number of (mediocre) priest alts over the years.
==BiographyEarly Years ==
=== First Years on the Freedom Isles ===
=== PvP on Chaos ===
In July 2013, Doc also began PvPing on the Chaos server with the [[Lore:Empire of Mol Rehan|Empire of Mol Rehan]], staying at Kratos and enjoying the change of scenery and gameplay. By October 2013, with Captain's reaching a natural low in villager numbers, Doc made the decision to sell the deed and move full-time to Chaos to live at [[Settlement:Ravenholm|Ravenholm]], under the mayorship of long-standing MR player Reincarnation (aka Balmore). It was also around this time (in January of 2014) that she left the Wurm team as a permanent PR manager had been hired and PRAs were no longer needed.
Moving to Ravenholm was both a practical decision and a gameplay one. Practically, it would make playing Wurm easier (because trying to play on priest alts living on a different server isn't fun) - while in terms of playing the game, it offered Doc a way to do something new. Doc got involved with recruitment at the deed through use of "PR Skillz," and soon created an immaturely high 2x2 tower to live in. By February 2014, Doc had received the title of Elder at the village and began the construction of a brand new temple at the deed.
In July 2014, Doc was elected as Prime Minister of Mol Rehan, furthering the use of her "PR Skillz" to aid in recruitment for the kingdom. At Ravenholm, her playstyle was more relaxed, PvPing occasionally but mostly focusing on projects around the deed, including the construction of Ravenholm's colossal walls and a large temple at the deed. It was also around this time that she grinded more skills, reaching a number of milestones including 70 in [[fighting]], [[large metal shield]], [[blacksmithing]] and [[meditating]].
Doc re-joined the team again in April 2015, around the same time that [[Player:Wossoo|Wossoo]] re-joined as PR manager. She became PR Manager herself for a brief period, including during the time when [[Wurm Unlimited]] was released.
=== Brief Return to Freedom ===
In the Autumn of 2015early 2016, Doc briefly set up a deed called Laurel in south-west Independence, in an attempt to cure some Wurm burnout and take it easy on Freedom for a while. She also left the staff team at a similar time in November 2015, citing no hard feelings: she simply didn't have the time to continue as PR manager as IRL at the time was way too busy (due to university).
Unfortunately, Laurel as a deed was short-lived, and never saw much progress. After 5 years of playing Wurm with 3200 hours playtime on her main account alone, Doc had played a lot and simply didn't have much left to do in the game. Laurel fell into inactivity in by the spring summer of 2016, and was quietly disbanded by upkeep in 2017.
Along with countless happy memories from years of playing, Doc moved on from Wurm for good to pastures new.
Or so she thought...
== Return to Wurm == == 2022 Return = Trying Again on Independence ===
On April 17th, 2022, Doc decided to reinstall Wurm after six years away from the game, curious about what had changed. By total coincidence, a long-term friend from Doc's Wurm team days, [[Player:Maximusi|Maximusi]], happened to be online, having also decided to retry Wurm just two weeks prior! Doc went to join Max's new deed, Seahaven Valley, on the west coast of Independence's Inner Sea, in the alliance of the Shepherds of Gnome. In no small part thanks to the many wonderful people in the Shepherds of GnomeThis was a crazy coincidence, particularly since Doc fell and Max both originally started playing Wurm just 1 week apart from each other eleven years prior in love with Wurm againOctober 2011. As it turns out, all she needed It was a ''really'' big break from the game...good week to rejoin Wurm!
=== Founding of Lorelei ===
Now properly back into Wurm, Doc decided it was time for her to found her own deed. Hence, on November 26th 2022, Lorelei was founded in the forests of North-West Independence, intentionally close to other alliance deeds including Archeon and Elska Heima. Long-term, Doc wants to use the deed as a permanent forever home in Wurm, and will set it up with extensive workshops, housing, and a boat canal. As of May 2023, extensive progress has already been made on constructing a massive underground boat cave - although most of her focus has been on skills on her priest account Laureltrees, who finally reached 95 [[Channeling]] around this time.
== Current goals ==
This is a little list to remind myself of things I can work on. Currently, in 2022For 2023, I want to focus mostly on grinding (since I have a lot of high skills that I can finally push to 90), work around the villageon Lorelei, in addition to some other skill grinds and on getting finishing the basics down grind on my priest alt Laureltrees.

== Other Info==
* The first ever ore type Doc mined was in fact gold, in a mine in the hills near to Esert, the Exodus server start town. Doc then proceeded to make a gold bowl, Doc's first item (1ql of course!) that later disappeared from a garden in Sheriff.
* The first animal to kill Doc was a scorpion south of Esert. Doc was then later killed by another scorpion...
* The first thing Doc ever said in local was: "[10:24:24] <Docterchese> no! fog!", clearly in response to what was probably her first time seeing [[fog]].
* The first house Doc built was in fact sized 2x1, having worked out that making all the planks for the house first would give enough carpentry skill to plan a larger house, tehe.
* Having built the Golden Hind as a first boat, Doc spent a week travelling around the entire Exodus server.
