'''Early childhood and education'''

The child who would become Kaprediem developed an early interest in geopolitics in history due to his exposure to a Cold War-era Encylopedia Americana collection. Young Kap was fond of watching historical documentaries and listening to AM talk radio. At around age seven, he thought an imaginary nation called Hanauma, which eventually was renamed Hanuma. The "nation" was an archipelago located east of the Philippines; its history drew parallels to Kap's home country, including a period of Spanish colonization, American occupation, and dictatorship. In-universe, Hanuma was named after a fictional leader named Francisco Hanauma, who would establish a dynasty culminating in Francisco Hanauma IV.

After high school, he took a year-long gap year. Kap discovered NationStates upon recommendation by his aunt. He created the Hanuman Islands after his childhood imaginary nation.

During college, Kaprediem initially played Minecraft in early 2013 before the release of Java Edition 1.6.1. He was introduced to the game through [[Banyough]]. Because of motion sickness, he stopped playing and moved on to other games such as Sid Meier's Civilization and Cities:XL. In August 2013, his desktop PC broke down because of liquid damage on the CPU. This prevented him from playing video games on the PC altogether. It ushered in what he calls "The Most Eventful Years of My Life", which lasted from December 2013 to April 2016. This period saw Kap's involvement in an ill-fated pop punk band and a college newspaper, which he refuses to live down up until recently.

After graduation, Kap worked as a call center agent, from which he saved enough money to purchase his first computer. This was the end of a long period of touching grass, before the popularization of the term. From 2016-2019, he mostly indulged in simulation games mainly as a form of escape from the global political situation and work-related stress.

The COVID-19 pandemic proved fateful for Kaprediem as it led to a string of decisions that would give rise to Lambat, and eventually, Kapatiran. From his cushy office job, he was sent to work from his dormitory in the city, until it was possible to return to his childhood town.

Further deterioration of the country's politics alongside Lambat's sustained economic growth was abruptly cut short by the shutdown of CivClassic in December 2021. Several members of Lambat joined other factions, while Kaprediem sought to continue in the then-upcoming CivMC server.

'''CivMC and TutelleMC I (2022-2024)'''

Lambat was relaunched in CivMC as an oligarchic semi-federal republic, governed by Kaprediem as the president together with the State Council. The nation was highly active during the first five months of the server, and became known as a transport hub. By early 2023, Lambat's development gradually fizzled out due to decreasing player interest. Kap would later announce his soft retirement on May 17 of the same year.

Such attempts proved futile due to an ongoing economic recession. Concurrently, within February of the same year, the first iteration of TutelleMC was launched. Kaprediem established a town named Sibat, focused on agriculture. He only logged on occasionally.
