She is a community member of [[Uwu|uwu]]<sup><i>[[#footnotes|[1]]]</i></sup>, a village owned by {{user|ospence5}} and maintained by many folks, including (but not limited to) {{user|SadieSadie}}, {{user-nonwiki|Niterux}}, {{user|1blckhrt}}, and many others.

| <h2>Player history and minor lore</h2>
| |
| Xchofica first joined RetroMC on Fri, 25 November 2022, and created a home for herself in the following days. Having no additional members to help her in this, and only a handful of distant neighbors at best, she built up this area alone, creating in a main building, dubbed the ''Lodge'', a mine, a tree farm, and then a tower, before later leaving this settlement to join uwu.

| === Early settlement ===
| |
|
| |
| The Old Lodge was designed to be built quickly, perched atop an area of natural land generation. When prompted on it, Xchofica has stated: "I was wading across this wide lake here, trying to find suitable land, and seen this really quite stunning archway over yonder and thought, 'You know, that looks about wide enough for a small home,' so I went up there and built the Lodge." She has since admitted regret for its design, stating, "I was in a bit of a rush to get it done, thinking 'Oh, this'll be some temporary thing that I'll redesign later,' or tear it down and move somewhere else if I needed to. But because I made it so large, I felt it would've taken too much effort to do either, and I've since left it up there. I know it's not too terrible, but for me it's really an eyesore, and I keep it around as both a reminder of where I came from, and how I have to follow through with my own future projects in order to make things I can feel proud of."

It features a large circular wooden tower with log towers closely supporting the structure, and stone slab sections defining the seperation between its stories. The image also features a wooden walkway set in the ground, leading off to a mine's entrance, although that entrance is obscured by a natrually generated archway. The image also features the Lodge, a wooden building with broad pillars facing down into a wide lake, and has large glass windows on one side of it.|Xchofica's old settlement area.

| === Joining uwu ===
| |
|
| |
| Some time during September or October 2023, Xchofica asked ospence5 if she could check out the village of uwu. Another player she had recently become friends with, {{user-nonwiki|TransGirlsRCute}}<sup><i>[note: you may want to check her [https://statistics.retromc.org/player/6bbba796-0da8-46bc-8ce7-a84cff1b6111 J-Stats<sup>2</sup> page]]</i></sup>, was also online. The two partnered together to visit uwu, accompianed alongside uwuians<sup><i>[[#footnotes|[2]]]</i></sup> {{user|ospence5}} and {{user-nonwiki|Niterux}}. The two were accepted almost immediately; after only a short tour around uwu they were given citizenship via an invite.
| |
|
| |
| === The ''tower of deer (real)'' ===
| |
|
| |
| Xchofica immediately began work on a second version of the Tower in uwu, with the intention of it being her main base of operations. She ended up getting [https://bans.johnymuffin.com/b/1ef7eE her first ban] shortly after, attempting to replace a considerable number of torches on a nearby bridge, and as a result was not able to move nor modify her unfinished Tower in uwu for a few months. Her appeal was later accepted. After rejoining the server, she moved her Tower to the other side of uwu, known locally as ''Old uwu.'' After completing this home, along with a stone slab pathway to connect it to the rest of Old uwu, she put a sign down near the path stating: "''tower of deer (real)''"<sup><i>[[#footnotes|[3]]]</i></sup>. There are signs in front of the tower of deer (real) that were put up by her, and state:
| |
|
| |
| ''"The Tower" is based off a design from an aquaintance, and it originally dates back to Alpha v1.2.6. I've modified the design slightly here. Started: Mon, 23 Oct '23, Finished: Wed, 3 Jan '24. Trans rights, 4evr & always''
| |
|
| |
| She has since begun work on other projects. One of these projects is a large tree farm, and upon its completion it will be described here, if not in its own page on this Wiki.
| |
|
| |
| === Developing her own village(s) ===
| |
|
| |
| Despite not having created any villages, she has stated that she plans on potentially creating a village of ''Aywell'', a "haven for folks and phreaks who desire to return to the bygone eras of the Internet, but without any of the dated baggage that comes along with that." Aywell is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongue-in-cheek tongue-in-cheek] reference to ''AOL'', but she says Aywell "is in no way affiliated with the company that helped arise the Eternal September".

| # The village of uwu is stylized as '''uwu''', in lowercase.

| # In a similar regard to uwu, the Tower is officially stylized as '''tower of deer (real)''', also in lowercase. Other acceptable stylizations include the omission of ''(real)'', shortening it to the ''Tower'', and also ''deer tower'' or ''Deer Tower''.
