Fanon:Nero Auctorus

Nero Auctorus was the first and only President of the. He used life-extending drugs throughout his adulthood to keep himself from growing old, and thus avoided death until his elimination at the hands of the dying.

Early life
Due to the destruction of many of the records of Auctorus' early life after he became President, many of the finer details of his early life are unclear. However, it is known that he was born Lewis Pristen, and that his father was a soldier in the United States Army, and his mother was a politician who was a member of the US Congress. Her role in politics undoubtedly influenced her son greatly. It is also known, from genetic reconstruction, that he was born with light brown hair and green eyes. Writings have been found describing the young boy:

"...[Lewis] was quite the imaginative kid, though he preferred to keep to himself. He liked making up a lot of things...His father once brought home a map of the world. Then the boy picked up a pen and drew a large circle around a huge chunk of the map. He said, "This is my kingdom.""

- Unknown, rumoured to be a babysitter who once cared for the young Lewis Pristen

In 2026, when Pristen was nine, his father was killed in action while deployed in the Ukraine during SimNationian intervention in the Second Crimean Crisis. Being very close to him, Pristen was devastated by his father's death. His mother was equally traumatised. She withdrew, then quit from work, and became an alcoholic. Depressed, confused, angry and drug-influenced, Pristen's mother became very abusive, often punishing him severely for small matters. It could be this harsh and cruel upbringing that encouraged him to form the personality he had developed by the time he became President.

At the age of 13, Pristen was enrolled at the local high school, where he developed a great interest in political science. He was reportedly quite proficient in the arts, but developed a reputation for awkwardness and inappropriateness. He quickly became the subject of bullying.

Early career and Presidency
By the time Pristen graduated from Sim State University at the age of 24 with a major in political science, he had decided to enter a career in politics. 3 years earlier he had gotten married to Octavia Cladinia. Their first child, named Maya, was born in 2042. Pristen joined SimNation's Democratic Party. However, this quickly became a flop - he never gained a seat in Congress throughout his five years with the Democrats.

He resigned in 2046 and decided to form his own party with a group of close friends with similar political views. This became the Conservative Party of SimNation, an extremely right-wing organisation. At first Pristen and his Party decided to attempt to gain seats through the elections. However, they became more and more desperate. In the lead-up to the 2052 Federal election, Pristen began to bribe members of the Election Assistance Commission to alter the vote count, offering them millions of Simoleons in return. As a result, he became President of the United States.

Using his new powers, he slowly began to dismantle the democratic systems of the US. First he assassinated the same members of the EAC that helped him get into power, subsequently dissolving the Commission under the pretext of investigating the cause of the deaths. Soon after many intellectuals were killed by the Conservative Party and other political parties were disbanded and banned from Congress for reasons of removing suspected parties from important positions.
