Sleepii_Sloth (joined 19 January 2025), also known as Em, Em U. Sloth,[1] or simply Sleepii, is a Redmontian politician and business owner.
Career
Business
Sleepii currently owns and operates a brewery business based on the outskirts of Anville, Outer Redmont known as TnT Elixirs n' Brews, or simply, TnT. They operate this business with fellow WPR member and Outer Redmontian, Yeremyahu. The name is a double-entendre, referencing the block of 'TNT' and the 'Tequila and (n') Tonic' mixed drink. They brew most alcoholic beverages, but halted production in the aftermath of the 2nd of February Attacks. As of mid-March 2025, production has not yet restarted.[2]
In May 2025, they started Wethersbee Public Relations Strategies with RylandW.
Politics
Em joined the Workers' Party of Redmont a few days after they joined the server,[2] and quickly rose to prominence among the party, joining the Labour Committee, and submitting their name for Congress in the following election.
On the 7 February 2025, Sleepii announced their candidacy for head of urban development of Aventura on the Aventura council, but later rescinded their candidacy[3] after being approached by RylandW to run on his ticket as the candidate for deputy mayor.[4]
On the 12 February, RylandW and Sleepii won the mayoral election against AnimeInc and running mate KattoC324, with both candidates leaving the first round with 21 votes each, and the Ryland/Sleepii ticket narrowly eking out a victory with 24 to 22 votes in the final round.
Four days after their victory, runners-up AnimeInc and KattoC324 filed a lawsuit with the Supreme Court against the Commonwealth, alleging that the Department of State allowed Ryland and Sleepii to run in the election illegally.[5] Their claim was that Sleepii did not meet the requirements to run for deputy mayor of Aventura; therefore the mayorship should be granted in AnimeInc's favour.[5]
The Supreme Court decided to grant an emergency injunction preventing Ryland and Sleepii from taking their disputed positions, and placing the former officers in their place in an acting capacity.[6] A reelection took place in March in which AnimeInc was elected.[7]
On 1 March 2025, Sleepii announced their candidacy for the House of Representatives,[8] running with the WPR, stating that they were running for "the people, the workers, and the lesser heard".[9] Their policies aligned with those of the WPR, including the separation of big businesses from government, increasing union power, and ownership of land by its workers.[9]
They were dually elected to the House of Representatives on 11 March, receiving five first preference votes, and being elected in the 17th round with 11.36 votes.[10] They joined the House the same day with their two other WPR colleagues, MissAndrist and Kaiserin_.[10]
Outer Redmont
Sleepii is also an Outer Redmontian administrator, being a member of the Ministry of Trade. They are also running for Membership of the Chamber of the People.[2]
Personal life
Sleepii_Sloth identifies politically as a social-communist. They are masc-non-binary, use they/them pronouns, and currently maintain residences in Aventura and Anville.[2] In January, they became engaged to Senator Goldendude15.[1]
