Before Rathnir
KJ M-C S. Orne'tare Wei-Du has visited many worlds throughout space and time, and has lived through many experiences and lifetimes. No one is quite sure when he was born, or who his parents were. He is not sure either. KJ only knows that he is able to travel through different worlds once a lifetime when the portal opens, with the help of the mysterious multicolored liquid he has on his person at all times. KJ is only able to retain a few memories from past worlds, but he is able to retain most knowledge gained.

Personality
KJ M-C S. Orne'tare Wei-Du tries to be kind and helpful to his fellow comrades, as well as people he meets along the way. But with all their experience in the many worlds he's been to, he knows to always expect the worst. Over the hundreds of years, they have seen death, destruction, betrayal, and worse. He has hardened his heart to these, and as a result shows little emotion on the inside, although he tries to be nice to others whenever they can. Perhaps this is because KJ wants others to learn to be happy and have love, emotions they almost completely lost over time himself. However, he lets his family and friends into his heart, and loves them, and they make him happy. He often enjoys silently watching the stars.

Coming to Rathnir
On October 10th, 2021, KJ M-C S. Orne'tare Wei-Du was had passed on in the previous world, causing the portal to form to another world. He collapsed through the opening, and fell through the sky of Rathnir into a bush in a forest of small, pale trees. When they awoke hours later, he explored this new land and looked far and wide for a place to settle in, stopping along the way at old abandoned shacks and buildings.

Novareach
He had been traveling for days, even through the harsh snowy biomes, when he came upon the town of Aberdeen, which he would learn to be the capital of a small socialist nation called the People's Federation of Novareach. KJ contacted the inhabitants of this nation and soon became invested, moving into an Aberdeen apartment, working jobs to help the Nation, and eventually becoming a senator, and helping the Novareach government. He became a well known figure there, always there and trying to be helpful. But on March 19, 2022, he became tired of politics, eventually resigning from office.

Head of Defense
After the first public senate meeting in January 1st, 2022, KJ was appointed to serve as the People's Head of Defense. He led The People's Army of Novareach until he stepped down in March.

Anòshphéy
After retiring form the Novareach government, KJ became a duel citizen in the Shyhenéy au Anoshphéy to live in Jirn alongside Aberdeen with his friends, fiancé, and to-be family there. He quickly picked up the language of the nation and befriended other citizens there.

Nephrism
KJ is one of the founding members of Nephrism, the official religion of Novareach, which is based on the worship and study of the Nova Crystal. They helped with some of the early work in the creation of the new religion, which was the sucessor to an older Nova Crystal based religion. However, he left the religion later on.

Twin Dragon
After KJ had been living in Jirn for a while, his friend and later relative Meing McSpeigel-Caicuria introduced him to the Twin Dragon faith of the Arlunor Velande, a faith Meing practiced in the district of Nepali. On april 8 KJ converted to the religion and began practicing it, and going to the temples in Nepali.

The Wei-Du Family
The Wei-Du Family was created by KJ Wei-Du with the adoption of Purpin Wei-Du, and later, the future mairrage of KJ to Ilyy. The quote of the family is "Procedere et permanere vita" meaning move on and continue life, something KJ values highly. The Wei-Du family became officially part of the Caicuria Dynasty upon the wedding of KJ and Ilyy. The Name Wei-Du comes from the language KJ modernized from the Festival Islands when visiting for the first time, Xu-Daujipaḣ. Wei-Du literally means Winds of the Earth in the conlang.

Ilyy Maximos-Caicuria Seeker Orne'tare
KJ met Ilyy in early March 2022 after NattyNuke invited KJ to learn about the Shyhenéy au Anòshphéy. Soon after, Ilyy paid a visit to Aberdeen, and met them for the first time. They became fast friends. Later on, KJ would visit Ilyy's home city of Jirn, and Illy took him around the city. The next day, they went together to a small island in the Sea of Pearls and talked until it was dark. They walked up to the top of the island's hill and layed down side by side on the soft grass, watching the stars until sunrise. It was then they both realized this was something truly special. That same day, March 14 2022, Ilyy Maximos-Caicuria Seeker Orne'tare proposed to KJ, which he happily accepted. (to be updated with lore version)

The Wedding
On April 9, 2022, the wedding was held in the Nepali district of Jirn, Anòshphéy. The Wedding had many citizens, family, and friends attending. After the ceremony where vows were said and rings were exchanged, Caicuria Spiced Wine and Wei-Du Tequila bottles were opened among other drinks, and a party started. The Party lasted over an hour, full of fun and drinking, as well as the Iron Will tradition of the Orne'tares.

Children
KJ first met Purpin in late December 2022, he was Novareach-Born and had been living in Aberdeen his whole life. Soon after KJ met him, Purpin also became involved in politics as well. They got to know each other really well, and a few hours before on the same day Ilyy made the proposal, KJ adopted Purpin who became his adopted son.

When he moved to Anòshphéy, KJ met the Lyoru Chili, and later Mehtulbawkses Host, who became the Grand Marshal of the Knights of Anòshphéy. They both were adopted by Ilyy then later KJ, and became Wei-Dus.

Sapphire Wei-Du Tequila
Sapphire Wei-Du tequila is a drink created by KJ to be the family's own secret recipe. It has a strange blue color, and a strong taste. It was given out at his wedding, and he planned to make it always at family events.

The Brewing Guild & The Foaming Mug
KJ M-C S. Orne'tare Wei-Du joined the brewing guild in mid December 2021, and quickly became invested in brewing. It is possible the reason for this is it's something to distract him from his spiraling thoughts. He renovated and expanded an abandoned bar, turning it into The Foaming Mug tavern, that served a large variety of different drinks. In late January 2022, KJ created a new Foaming Mug tavern, that is shaped in the likeness of a foaming mug of beer outside of Aberdeen, Novareach. Since then, KJ Wei-Du has been an active member of the brewing community, learning many recipes and helping many newer brewers and bartenders out. He even invented his own recipes, Nova Vodk a, Cryptographer's Bane, KJ's Delicious Signature Boba, Toku Jô Sencha, and Sapphire Wei-Du Tequila. When KJ became a duel citizen, they gave the tavern to Miumjou to take over.

Chief Brewer
On March 14 2022, he was given the title of chief brewer by the Archbrew Chief Fighterbog. This has allowed him to further help the guild and its brewers.

The Starlight Brewery
After handing over The Foaming Mug Tavern, KJ began to build a new, much larger brewery in the industrial district of Jirn. It would be called The Starlight Brewery because of how they love stargazing. The brewery will include a large dome for doing so. It is still under construction to this date.

The Knights of The Round Barrel
In January 2022, KJ joined the Knights of the Round Barrel, an organization dedicated to bringing justice to people illegally selling custom recipes. He was angered that people would take other peoples hints and drinks, and then throw the recipe around, ruining the cool hints, fun and achievements it takes to get the drink just to make a quick buck. He began catching recipe sellers, and trying to enlighten people that didn't understand why recipe selling was so bad. However, it wasn’t enough. The fair laws of the guild were still being broken, and injustices were still being done. He had enough. He screamed in rage, vowing not to rest until every last illegal recipe seller was wiped from the face of this world. He made a plan, he would become an avenger of those victims of recipe selling. KJ Wei-Du was going to try to teach them why recipe selling was so bad, and if they knew but didn't listen he would stop them, and bring justice to this world. This sudden aggression seemed unlike him, and it was likely a cause of being half Axolotian.

The Fall of Lunkin's Donuts
One day when inside his Aberdeen apartment KJ found a rolled up scroll in his mailbox emblazoned with a mug of beer at the top. It was a message from he Bartender's Guild. He opened up the letter and learned that the vile organization Lunkin's Donuts, responsible for much of the leaking of recipes had finally been outlawed. He felt relieved, and that his goals for the most part had been accomplished. He knew there would always be leakers, but this was still a massive victory. After this he occasionally reported the wayward recipe seller, but for the most part his mission of justice was complete.

The Axolotian Mutation
On January 18th, 2022, KJ was experimenting with a drink that would enable him to speak with his pet axolotls at the time, Nova and Axel. He drank the untested elixir, and he felt tingly in his right body. He looked down, and his body had mutated and partially transformed into an Axolotian. At first, walking was a challenge, as well as learning to control his new right body, but within a month's time he got the hang of it, and was moving almost completely normally, although he preferred to use a staff for longer walks. Over the following months, KJ M-C S. Orne'tare Wei-Du noticed a lot of changes from the mutation. Although not able to breathe underwater altogether, he noticed that he could be underwater for much longer periods of time. One day when harvesting wheat in a field to make beer, he accidentally cut one of his right fingers with a sickle. To his surprise, it grew back within a week. He also noticed himself more susceptible to being hurt from fire, as well as having a lower alcohol tolerance, the alcohol lowering his healing properties. These events seem to show that his Half-Axolotian state seems to have lighter versions of the attributes that Axolotians like RipleyTheAxolotl have.

Fixing the Alcohol Problem
After days of being hunched over a cauldron, experimenting with various concoctions involving the Nova Crystal’s strange properties, KJ looks at the vial he took from the cauldron, glowing red. He had finally done it. KJ had been experimenting to create a drink that would be able to limit his low alcohol tolerance due to him being half-axolotian. He knew extract from the nova crystal had strange hallucinogenic and regenerative powers, so he was trying to create a potion that could channel that into his liver, to strengthen it and prevent alcohol from harming his regenerative abilities as much. With the help of some old medical knowledge from past memories of worlds and studies conducted on the crystal itself, he was able to create the perfect mix finally. KJ Wei-Du, upon consumption of this mixture once a week, would finally be able to drink as he did before. He drained the potion that was in his hand.

The Axolotl Family
KJ KJ M-C S. Orne'tare Wei-Du first purchased axolotls in early January, and quickly came to love his new friends. After the Axolotian Mutation, he was able to connect with them even more. The axolotls were also bred to provide axolotls to others, so that he may have a happy little friend as well.

The Incident
All was going well in the tank until a man by the name of Caden B Castillo (aka Caden or CMTheConqueror) stole the axolotls while KJ was away visiting a nation for a week. When he came back, he saw them gone from the tank. As was his duty in the government, he found the culprit, and was horrified to discover that the axolotls were murdered while resisting capture. He was devastated by this loss of creatures so close to him. He found Caden guilty of all charges, which were theft, destruction of property, lying to government officials, murder of pets, and evasion of the code of law. His sentence, carried out on 2/26/22 was Banishment and KOS listing. A ceremonial Nephrist funeral (his religion at the time) was held over a grave designed like a lush cave, and gifts were given.

After the Incident
After the incident, KJ rebuilt the family with Gally and Nava, who then had Quwe. He later also adopted a brown axolotl named Mocha.

Biological Studies
Seeing the various and wide diversity of species of this world has always intrigued KJ, as well as the differences of the species here compared to other dimensions. In addition, his interest was also heightened by his Axolotian mutation, causing him to examine himself and his abilities. He also applied his biological knowledge when creating the alcohol tolerance potion.

Anthropology Guild
On April 11, 2022, KJ was appointed as the Head of Biology for the new Anthropology Guild that studies the culture, linguistics, history, and biology of species on Rathnir, and the far-east lands of Eldham. He would now lead the guild's biological investigations and reports.
