John Rockefeller

John Rockefeller was born into a pour family. His father was known as a cheapskate and an untrustworthy man, traveling almost constantly to new places to make a quick buck. At one point, his father left him and his mom, and never came back. John became the worker of the family, using his childhood as a way to get jobs to pay for the family needs. After growing up, he soon owned his own oil plant, delivering oil to his human and non-human customers. However, he didn't get the large amount business that he wanted. He saw this deal with Vanderbilt as his chance to make it big.

"I'm looking for a oil refinery to produce kerosen for my trains to ship John," The commodore said, taking a sip of his wine then placing it back down. "I think you could be that refinery."

John responded immediately, "I am willing to do a deal. I will exclusively fill all your trains with my companies oil, Mr. Vanderbilt."

"Then I guess we have a deal then," Cornilus said, taking a sip of his wine before signing the contract. Rockefeller then signed after him, shook his hand, and left like that. However, while he had business, he now had to figure out a way to supply more kerosene than he was currently able to. And he turns to one of the oldest solutions made.

Around the time of his deal, oil was starting to get a notorious reputation for spontaneously combusting, damaging and burning villages and sometimes, the surrounding forest. This was building a fear for the new product, making people wary about trusting it to light their houses. Rockefeller saw this, and came up with a way to gain the resources to fill the trains.

"Kerosene, refineries, drilling, and shipping. That is what my plan is for my new company." He explained to the group of investors. "And why the name for the product?" one of them spoke up.

"Because Standard oil will be the only company to guarantee a uniform and high quality of oil. One, that will not combust and burn, but that will light up your night." He answered, the investors murmuring and talking about the container. Days later, he started receiving investors, willing to back their support on his company. He soon grew his industry, his oil becoming popular among the masses that couldn't use magic to light their houses, and others(mostly mothman) that wanted to try the new wave of kerosene lamps. In the span of a few years, Standard oil became the largest supplier of kerosene in the world. He also was growing out of his deal with the Commodore, having more oil than his trains could carry, and a few were starting to take notice.

One of them was Thomas Scott, a major investor in trains wanting to take Vanderbilt's place as the largest. He knew that Rockefeller would be looking to expand, he arranged a meeting at his household. With him in the meeting was Andria Carnegie, his Gremlin apprentice. The moment the doors closed and the tea was served, Scott started.

"So Rockefeller, as you know we have met t-"

"You want a deal between train cartels," Rockefeller answered immediately.

"I prefer to call it an agreement."

"Give me the numbers," John said. Scott turned to his apprentice, who nodded and gave John her paper of calculations and information on the rates. John read it, nodding slightly as he read top to bottom. Andria grabbed the arm's of the seat, subtly scooted her chair closer to Thomas, until John looked back up. "It seems that they check out Scott."

"Great, so why don't we sip some tea and sign a paper to make it official?"

"This verbal agreement would suit just fine." With that, he quickly sipped his tea and left the room, suited with the deal.

"...Can I have a head pat now?" Andria spoke up. "Well...you got the numbers right so ok," Thomas responded as he patted her hair of his apprentice, Andria nuzzling her hand.


Now having two of the major groups of railroads, John Rockefeller could bring his standard oil to every inch of the world, and make a very large profit from it. It is this profit that he uses to buy out his competing brands of kerosene.

He sent letters for a meeting, this time in Wonderland. He waited for everyone to sit down, half of them having Orderite or Mist emblems on their clothing. "Now my fellow oil refiners, Order knights, and mamono. I am offering a way for you to maximize your profit.

"Which would be?" A black harpy spoke up, her sparkling dress flowing in the wind that was somehow blowing through the castle.

"A buyout. You sell your companies to Standard Oil at your current stock...or eventually, sell it anyways at the Royal Makai exchange when the stock inevitably drops." The murmurs dropped to dead silence as they all glared at Rockefeller, their demonic aura overwhelming the room. The leader of a Mist kingdom, sitting on the other side of the round table was the first one to speak. "Are you threatening us human?" he retorted. Rockefeller simply just looked back shrugging. "Your choice on how to take it. Just telling you the most possible outcome."


Once he got back to his household, he started sending checks to small refinery owners in various regions. He was building his company up, planning to eliminate the competition by adding their parts of the company to Standard Oil. Soon, he had owned around 90 percent of all the oil refineries, making Standard Oil the first monopoly ever to be seen, and himself the most powerful human in the world ruled by mamono. Vanderbilt notices and decides that if he wants to stop him, the trains will need to work together.

"So Scott, I see you have also heard of Rockefeller's new fortune," Vanderbilt says as he and Scott walk together down the hallway of Thomas's home. "Yes, I have. What would that have to do with me?"

"You know that when he gets powerful enough, he will come after us next."

"Yes Cornilus, and frankly I don't see us forming an alliance anytime soon."

"True, but we can both take his oil from our trains."

"You think that could stop him?"

"Where else would he use to ship as this current rate?" Cornilus finished as the kikimora came to both of them with two cups of wine. Thomas picked up one and raised it. "To our comeback, and Rockefeller's downfall."

"Cheers my rival."

In a few days, Rockefeller oil was completely off of the Commodore's and Scott's trains, cutting his business critically. Once the news reached John, he took it as a declaration of war between Oil and trains. Knowing they will win in a dragged out boycott of Standard oil, he immediately starts looking for new ways to transport his oil. This eventually leads him to his first refinery, where he and a Hakutaku scientist was walking around going over ideas. "We could use magic but that would require more workers, which you specifically told me not to have for some reason..." she said as she followed him, crouching as the went under a large pipe. "Why do you have so many pipes again?" she asked him.

He suddenly turned around to face her, starting to become annoyed by the repeated question. "To transport the oil, kerosene, and waste around the plant, for the fifth time. Why do you keep asking?"

"Wait...why don't we just use the pipes to transport oil out?"

"Because! that...well...hmm." Now that he thought about it, he looked at the pipes that crisscrossed around the refinery. This one has been running for years without issue, so the pipe's lifeline is fine. Besides, he thought if they could move oil up, down, and around the plant, they could move it over fields too. He looked back at the mamono scholar, nodding. "We could try that, but before I repay you, any knowledge on people that could manage such construction?"

"Done!" She quickly wrote a list then gave it to Rockefeller. "Now, about that reward..." He gave her a black suitcase, hidden behind one of the pipes, then turned around to leave. Soon, he was busy calling and writing to all the Major numbers on the list, organizing and preparing to invest a large chunk of his fortune into this network of pipes. It will be a risky gamble, but for him, it was a way to fight back the trains. After some hassle, construction was on the way, multiple groups of mamono and human using magic and labor to lay down the pipes through around mountains, forest, and the like. When the deed was done, the network of pipes concealed underground snaked from the refineries, extending to every inch of the world, and underwater.

Now with all trains losing a major part of their shipping revenue, their stocks dropped down quickly as the investors started withdrawing to keep as much money as they could. In the end, half of the rail companies shut down, in turn causing the stock exchange to shut down for 2 straight weeks. It is in this time that Rockefeller starts buying again, paying owners what to him was almost nothing for ownership. By the time the two weeks were over, he created what was now the biggest empire in the world.

However, in the midst of the panic, the Commodore, at his old age of 82, dies. His still giant empire was now given over to his last son Will, but even still, the Rival and creator of the Oil Giant were no longer. His last biggest train rival was Thomas Scott, but he wasn't going down without a fight.


Wonderland

He and Andria Carnegie have survived the closing of the market and after a legal battle with the Sabbath Construction division(and payoffs in large piles of candy), Wonderland, and Scott's rails, were the only place Rockefeller's pipes didn't reach, forcing him to keep using Scott's trains to bring oil there. Scott knows that eventually, John will win if they just guard their rail's, so he and Carnegie devise a plan to expand. They build a pipe of their own, circling in tunnels under wonderland from the nearest refinery, supplying oil to small pumps that no one has to walk more than a few blocks to attain for their lamps. When Rockefeller saw this, he arranged another meeting between the two in the Queen's castle. Speaking of which, she herself and the Sabbath Construction head, a Baphomet, of course, came since they were also involved in this. Outside the door were Jabbawock, Alices, and Familiars guarding the closed-door conversation.

"I tried to be friendly to the Wonderland railroads. When the Queen, Sabbath, and most notably you wanted me to back away, I let you have your little corner and continued to give your business. But now I find that you are building your own pipes? That hurts my feelings, my friend," John said finished. Andria snarled but calmed down as Thomas patted her.

"Is she going to be a problem? Because you took can always have your punishment in my bedroom," the lilim said smiling childishly. Thomas simply looked at Andria, then the Queen, confused. "Oh...she's not...oh. Well back to the topic, John haven't you taken control of the rest of the world's oil? Why exactly shall you come to wonderland hmm?"

"They already took us to court and asked us the build the pipes, so why bother?" the Baphomet added, obviously not wanting to be here. John simply looked at them, then back at Thomas. He simply stood up and straightened his jacket. "I will be sure to take your feelings into account Rockefeller. Let's go, Andria, before you hit him and spark an entire fight," he said, as Andria has been staring daggers at John the entire time, not afraid to lunge her small body at him. Then she heard John and got up. "Smh," was all she said before jogging to catch up to him. The Baphomet left too with her familiar guards, leaving Rockefeller alone with the Queen of Hearts. She sat in his lap before he got up.

"So Johnny boy, what are you going to do now?" She said, nuzzling his chest. "May I go? I have a wife, may I remind you..."

"Pretty sure your Wyvern won't mind the Queen of Hearts giving you a blowjob."

"Pretty sure she will," He then stood up, only for her to turn into her child form and sit on his shoulders. She messed with his neat hair, ruffling it. "You know, you can't legally try to take those pipes away on my land. That will invoke punishment."

"I know..." Rockefeller responded as she got an idea. "Speaking of Punishment, I am now punishing you for not playing with me in my own castle. You now have to let me give you a blowjob."

"What? Why?"

"Because. Now sit down, no-fun person..."


Back at his household, John ordered the Standard Oil refineries in Wonderland shut down to stop loading on Scott's trains. While it will cost Rockefeller a fortune in lost revenue, he only wanted to beat Scott once and for all. Without his oil, Scott loses half is business, forcing him to lay off thousands of workers to make up for lost revenue. Those workers, mostly human with mamono, took to his rail lines, destroying dozens of buildings and hundreds of train cars, putting Scott's company in ruin.

On the other hand, Rockefeller as now truly replaced Vanderbilt as the one on top, his net worth now 245 billion dollars in today's money. Now, it is now his turn to be aimed for, with his first biggest challenge coming to the apprentice herself.
