'''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. Hanuma is has been labeled by the game as an "inoffensive centrist democracy" for most of its existence.<ref>https://www.nationstates.net/nation=the_hanuman_islands</ref>

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.
