Las Vegas

Las Vegas. An overrated earthly only inhabited by creatures of the night. A disgusting place filled with drug addicts, hispanic people, and crime. This is the home and birthplace of Justin, Steven, and the former member Cole.

The Origins of Ecclesia
While some may argue that the group begat from the calloused hands of those from New Jersey, that remains untrue. The original group, before the days of Ecclesia, was a simple friendship between two of the three founding members. Justin and Cole. In the harsh and unforgiving winter of 2009, Cole's family was forced to leave their simple lives of Maryland to move to the big city. The leader of the family, Lonnie Johnson (complete fucking loser), had gotten a job offer that was just too good to turn down.

Upon arrival, Cole's mother, Becky Johnson, had looked at the schools in the area and came to find that Nevada's education was the 49th in the country, just above New Mexico. With no other choice, Becky chose to homeschool Cole. This choice led her to LVHSG (Las Vegas Homeschool Group), Justin's mother's homeschool group. This is when Cole and Justin, first met.

Just a week before Christmas, there was energy in the air. An unkempt, malevolent energy, but an energy nonetheless. Dozens would eventually converge to Justin's residence for a party. An event of the party was a group picture with friends. Justin's mother, Heather Beckett, knowing that Cole was new and had no friends in the area, told Justin that he should invite Cole to be in his picture. This would be the start of a long and dramatic friendship.

Playing games like Minecraft together on Skype, they would talk daily. Eventually, the longevity that Minecraft offered had started to wear, forcing the two to find some new games. Justin had been surfing the net, watching youtubers like PaperBatVG. Justin had watched PaperBat play League a couple times, but was never really interested. With no other option, he decided to play a game or two, inviting Cole to come along.

Less than a week later, Justin had woken up from a solemn slumber, to find a few frantic messages from Cole, detailing his performance in a league game. One of them read, "I played with a bunch of really food players, one is level 22." Justin would call Cole a few minutes later and get in a lobby for a game of league. "Are any of the people you added on?" Justin inquired. "Just one." Cole quietly replied. Justin anxiously asked, "What was his name??" Cole glanced towards his friends list, and back at his screen. "Twinwolf."
