I'm using this page as a way to remember my own history and for anyone else who's interested. :)
Docterchese is a Wurm Online player and former Wurm team member. She was originally a Public Relations Assistant (PRA) between August 2012 (when the role was originally created) and January 2014, re-joining the team again in April 2015 and becoming PR Manager for a brief period before stepping down at the end of 2015.

Biography
First Years on the Freedom Isles
Docterchese began life on Exodus on the 15th October 2011, first settling on a beach in the north of the server. After a month spent there alongside neighbour and mentor Daimex, Doc relocated south to Sheriff. 3 months later, Doc moved with friends and founded Cormorant Isle Trading Post in February 2012, in the north of the server, on an island very near to the first place Doc settled. CITP also acquired the nearby Tiffin's Castle Market, which was used as a farm and support deed. However, after around 2 and a 1/2 months and despite the deed being mostly completed, Docterchese took the decision to sell CITP and disband Tiffin's. Many of the original villagers had left, and whoever remained fought against each other - Doc was young and maybe not the best of mayors...
Doc then eloped to Deliverance to live at Miya, remaining there for 5 months starting in May 2012 under the mayorship of her friend Mishia (and later, Kitaelia). The town was barely a week old when she arrived. Miya was a large deed located in the south-western forests of the server. The town grew to encompass many local deeds in the "Brotherhood of Cake" alliance. Chese also took on a local deed for the town to use as a port, A Captain's Hideaway, before eventually moving to live there full-time in October 2012.
Doc originally intended to sell Captain's in the long term, potentially moving to Independence, but instead decided to remain there and use it as a base of operations. As of January 2013 the deed began formally recruiting villagers, the first of whom was Frozencanadian.
But then in May of that year, Doc bought Miya when it went up for sale. Doc originally intended that it would become a special deed for priests, but later decided that the impulse purchase would not be worth the amount of time it would take up. Reluctantly, Miya was sold on 3 months later in August. It was huge, and too much for one person!
PvP on Chaos
In July 2013, Doc also began PvPing on the Chaos server with the 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 Ravenholm, under the mayorship of long-standing MR player Reincarnation (aka Balmore).
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.

Brief Return to Freedom
In the Autumn of 2015, 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 the spring 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...
2022 Return
On April 17th, 2022, Doc decided to reinstall Wurm after 6 years away from the game, curious about what had changed. By total coincidence, long-term friend from Doc's Wurm team days 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. Doc also started a new Vynora priest alt, Laureltrees, on May 20th - followed a few months later on July 31st by three more priest alts: Alecto, Megera and Tisiphone.
Who knows where her new journey will take her...
Overall...
Doc insists that out of everywhere she's lived, Sheriff was the best village in terms of location - while the Mol-Rehan kingdom provided the best socialising and friendships. In particular, her years at Ravenholm on Chaos were probably the most fun.
Current goals
This is a little list to remind myself of things I can work on!
Currently (2022) I want to focus on grinding (since I have a lot of high skills that I can finally push to 90), work around the village, and on getting the basics down on my priest alt Laureltrees.

Trivia
- 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 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.
- Doc was effectively homeless between February 2012 to August 2013, despite still playing regularly! (Never settled down in one place long enough to have a proper house built...)
- Doc once tried to solo a sea serpent, but gave up after over an hour of continuous (no hops!) fighting. They don't hit well but they're pretty strong!
