Echo Regis

Childhood:
Echo Regis, commonly referred to as Echo or Echobase2013, was born in Varandoy, Rathnir. He was born a mere peasant in this nation and lived in squalor under the tyrannical rule of his father. His father, being a zealous Authoritarian, named Echo as such to show his patriotism; Echo Regis roughly translates to "The Echo of the King" - a name which would become rather ironic in his later life.

Adulthood:
After having enough of his fathers totalitarian nature at the age of 17 Echo accompanied with his best friend Michael Valore took the first opportunity they got to sail to the new world of Eldham. Once arriving in Eldham the two split ways. For the following 4 years Echo travelled by any means necessary to go West. It wasn't until he was 21 when he would finally stop and set up shop. He had made it to Aristios - a thriving, prosperous nation with great potential for new citizens, he thought.

Kalisgrado:
In the crisp Autumn days of late September Echo made his way into Aristios. Upon making it to civilization Echo was able to eventually gain a settled status and Citizenship in Aristios. He was immediately sent to Kalisgrado to help boost population in the Southern region. When he arrived he was immediately put to work on building the Astillian Government building; Echo was fine with this as he had been travelling for almost 4 years straight and so any task was welcome. It was when he made it to the building site that he found his best friend Michael once more. He had also came to Aristios to pursue a prosperous new start and the two got along as if nothing had happened.

The work on the Government building was slow however the Astillian Governor at the time, Pepe, was kind enough to offer the two a home in the Mountains of Kalisgrado where they would end up living for the next 3 years. However peace in this new home would not last long as less then a month later...

The Zamotz - Skjoldrodir War:
As Autumn was in full swing and Winter was on the horizon news rattled Aristios and especially the two immigrants. The news of the outbreak of the Zamotz vs Skjoldrodir war was almost a lucky break for the two, seeing a way to climb social ranks they immediately signed up. Both were placed in the Aristian Army unit named the "Emperor's Fist".

The two rushed for items and gear as up until this moment they hadn't even thought about gathering good equipment. They were barely able to gather Diamond Gear before they had to make their way to the Zamotz Union.

However, sadly whilst on route to Shirokaneza Echo fell ill, he was just able to make it to the garrison outside of Shirokaneza before passing out. Echo had contracted a serious flu during transportation which left him unable to fight during the war. Michael however was still able to and actively took part during it although he was in the rear during the main assault.

Despite the war not being effective in achieving any personal gain for the two, it was a white-wash victory for the Triple Entente who won a resounding victory against Skjoldrodir with 214 confirmed kills to 4.  (Narrative Continues at 3.2) 

Resentment To Authoritarianism:
Looking at Echo's past it isn't hard to see why he dislikes Autocracy. His father would repeatedly abuse Echo for minor and seeming meaningless reasons. His father's patriotism took stage throughout Echo's childhood and as such this caused Echo to hate those who see themselves as the one and only power.

Due to this Echo obviously dislikes Dictatorships and especially Monarchies. Despite this for most of his childhood and adulthood he had no intention of doing anything about it. However at the age of 22 whilst living in Kalisgrado something changed. Under Otto's rule he saw that Aristios was becoming more and more of an Absolutist state. He immediately tried to act on this.

Senator Of Kalisgrado:
After the Skjoldrodir war Echo started to pay more attention to the political situation within Aristios and that is when he really noticed its flaws. See Echo was all for the "democratic" reforms that were coming to Aristios; however these were false truths, nothing but a front. Behind these reforms was Otto, the currently ruling Emperor of Aristios at the time. Despite promising more reforms towards democracy Otto still maintained Autocratic beliefs. He also continued the Oligarchical position of the "Aristios Council".

Coming to this realization inspired Echo to become a Senator. About two months following the war with Skjoldrodir Echo approached Governor Pepe enquiring about the position. It would only take him 2 weeks to be given the role from that point and his political career had begun. This was also the point in which Echo saw just how corrupt and backwards the Aristios democractic system was...
