Philip Katelala

Philip Katelala is both the last prince and presumably the last survivor of his world which was destroyed by a dark force. During the war he would be corrupted unknowingly and turned into a puppet to the enemy slaughtering everyone he loved in the final hours of the war. However he would break the corruption and escape to the world of Rathnir to start a new life.

Despite this Philip is still tainted by the corruption and grows whenever he feels negative emotions. The struggle to keep the monster inside him at bay and coping with the death of everyone he loved, makes him determined to get rid of corruption and continue his family’s legacy.

Escape to Rathnir
He woke up inside a cave, not clearly remembering how he got here but remembers the final moments of the war. The slaughter of both innocents and soldiers' lives were unimaginable, as the dreadful monsters ripped them apart like nothing. He saw visions of himself corrupted, killing both loved ones and everyone around them before breaking free from the corruption. Feeling hopeless and overwhelming regret the prince cried in despair wishing to be dead instead of being alive so he could be with his family in heaven.

The crying would be interrupted when faint noises could be heard deep inside the cave. The noises however were not from the dark forces but different entirely which made Philip calm and curious. He cautiously followed the noise with each step a feeling of hope grew inside him until finally finding the source of the noise. A portal in the middle of a cavern glowing luminously, the noises would change to a soft calming voice as they talked to Philip. They told him of a world where he can find both peace and people who can help. The voice also said that the corruption inside him will be weakened greatly but can grow when having negative emotions. Philip was not sure to trust this voice and abandon his world, everything to be exact.

However he quickly realized there was no time as horrific creatures poured into the cavern from all sides aiming to kill the last survivor. Seeing theres no point in fighting back, Philip quickly rushes through the otherside of the portal and immediately closes behind him preventing the monsters from following. After taking a breather and getting up Philip now finds himself into a new world, the world of Rathnir. A new life has begun.

Start of new life
For the first few days Philip stayed out of society, traveling in random directions and avoiding people. As he traveled he began to think more clearly and not struggle against corruption, giving him a sense of hope. It was not before long he stumbled upon the city of Luxios, both the capital of the Lusarri Imperium and holy heart of Lux.

Philip’s encounter with Lux and her people would forever change him in the coming years as he joined the Lusarri Imperium and the clergy. However he would decide to help and create a new nation with a player named Atago. The two would create the Sataumia Khanate with Philip becoming Prime Minister. Things would go smoothly for the nation as members joined an alliance pact with a pirate group named the Osterium Pirates with Philip being the one signing it.

During that time Philip would make a couple of friends among them Tannic, who he enjoyed hanging out with and considered him one of the closest friends he ever had. Sataumia Khanate would face problems with one facing a secessionist who pledged themselves under Soleannen before falling apart from Plagos and admin intervention causing everyone to flee and find a new path.

New home in Ardat
Philip fled back to the Lusarri Imperuim and stayed in Luxios for a couple days before finding a home and a job from Neo_Aurelian. His new home was located in the city of Ardat. A one floor house with a small interior that he was fine with. For a while he helped build the interiors of an Ardat school. The task took many days, and materials while doing this all by himself. He didn’t get payment though but didn’t care much since he was happy to get a home and do something for his community. Later in his stay he would build a 2nd floor for his house and attended the Dalatra Casino opening.

Currently he lost his perm after Ardat seceded from to the now Greater Solisios, unable to live and regain his stuff.

Meeting New People
During this time he would make friends throughout Rathnir many from different origins, back story, and life.

Spirit of  Trojan Lurvie
The first people Philip would encounter after Sataumia was an unlikely spirit, Trojan Lurvie. Trojan appeared next to Philip after hearing the fall of Sataumia. She showed empathy and was actually rooting for Sataumia winning against Plagos. (Plagos was in decline during that time and soon does)

She also offered Philip sanctuary in Escatommer (unbeknownst to him) where her daughter Ashei currently resides. The two would meet again in the middle of Luxios learning more from each other along with Nico who decided to tag along.

Ashei Lurvie
Ashei and Philip got to first meet each other at a Lhûmar wedding and followed her back to Escatommer. There the two chilled for a couple of hours talking and drinking cups of tea until Ashei got tired. Before heading to bed she told Philip he’s welcome to visit her home from now on.

Captain Komodo and joining OP
After staying in the nation for some time and out of boredom he decided to check up on his friends who joined OP after Sataumia. There he would meet the rest of the crew and attend a pirate mutiny after the previous First Captain did nothing to fix the pirates' problems. They were replaced by Captain Komodo who began rebuilding the Osteruim Pirates back on their feet. To show his support to the crew Philip built a massive ship named “Sataumia’s Vengeance” with its hauls out of deepslate, and is considered the biggest ship in the OP fleet! Both Philip and Komodo soon become friends after learning things from each other. Komodo would become his instructor in fighting after realizing he’s not ready to face skilled people.

High Priestess Nico
During the conversation between Philip and Trojan’s spirit the two would notice Nico coming out of the temple being irritated in the Lux-Soleannen conflict. She joins the 2 with shock of seeing Trojan as a spirit and asking her what the afterlife was like. All 3 talked for a bit before moving to the Luxios Coffee House to drink some tea, coffee and chat more.

The two meet each other again outside of Tenebras for the ceremony of honoring those who have fallen in the war. There Philip and other Luxites attended the sacrifice where they watched Nico sacrificing the livestock to Tenebris (later on eating the chickens they missed). After the sacrifice he gave Nico gifts from Ashei who wasn’t able to join the event and decided to have Philip bring it instead. The two would exchange smiles before heading back to the festival and later on getting drunk infront of her.

Hatred towards Soleannen and Cold calculation
When the Lux-Soleannen conflict erupted Philip was unable to join the war as he was on vacation (IRL). When he received the news of Soleannen becoming the victors this greatly terrified him as he felt his new life was under threat. The sense of guilt, and vulnerability was also felt for not doing anything to help his fellow Luxites but imagine them being brutally slaughtered.

Soon he began to grow a deep hatred towards them. He saw both the religion and its people as warmongers. Not only they attacked his new home but screwed with Sataumia Khanata and its downfall. this hatred festered, the corruption wanted him to spill blood and embrace vengeance. However in a twisted way he decided not to embrace it but use the corruption’s power to his advantage when the time comes.
