Spades Maitonoki-Morningstar

Biography
The start of Spade's tale of a "Forever" lifetime begins in a old ancient town far back on the lands on Rathnir / Eldham. Spades was born into a small village within the Mushroom Forest, with a prominent bloodline called the Maitonoki. This village was filled to the brim with unique warrior teachings and martial arts, said to draw power from the persons soul into a weaponized form. Now onto the story:

When Spades was 20, he had been exploring within his homelands Mushroom Forest as he yearned for adventure, and found a 'Three Headed' Shroom tree with a strange energy pulsating from it, but around the base of the Mushroom Tree, a ethereal pond whispering out to Spades within his mind. Since Spades had been wondering within the forest for hours, he had become thirsty, and upon seeing this crystal clear water, he couldn't help it, and it surely didn't help that a mystical voice was urging him to drink from it, so he cupped his hands together ran towards the pond and drank from it. Upon return to his village, a storm had brewed right on top of the village, and in the eye of the storm descended a bright light. It was a God. Not believing his eyes he began to call out to it, but before he got a word out, the God had descended otherworldly monsters seen in nightmares. A God had brought their wrath upon the entire village, but why? Spades had unsheathed his steel cutlass, and began attempting to fend off the endless horde of monsters, however it was to no avail. His entire village was in ruins along with his dead friends, family, and everything he had ever knew stood before him dead and destroyed. Spades Maitonoki was the only survivor of the village. Crying and screaming in agony Spades had asked the God why he was sparred, why did the monstrous raid only stop when everything but him was either destroyed, or dead. God had answered, "You beings are a revolting creation, unable to resist the most basic of temptations. You, and you alone succumbed to drinking out of the water only fit for the Gods, and now everything you cherish will perish." Spades immediately lunged toward the god with his blood stained cutlass but the God has disappeared upon impact from the blade. Vanishing into thin air, and leaving a sigil which emanated a dark energy upon his back to forever remind him of his actions. Days go by mindlessly wondering the forest and physical changes slowly began to take shape. A red and orange Mushroom cap began growing from the top of his head, and his ears slowly pointing similar to a elf.

Days go by and Spade's depression was not getting any better, to the point Spades would tie weights upon his ankles, get on a boat and jump off within the oceans waters. He drowned, but then reawakened to drowning again.. and again, he realized he was partially immortal. Years had gone by and physically he has not aged a bit, after the years of struggle to get out from the chains which tied him to the weights, he had broke them. He swam miles back to shore, and upon arrival, would begin his journey of the new world, depressed and alone.

The Motherly Hand
Now with Spades finding himself not physically aging past the age of 20, he would see people he made friends with on travels, and city's he visited; crumble and die to the ever marching clock of time, he would find himself in a state of despair and transcending deeper into depression as he would outlive everything he see's.

While being gloomy through a random city's streets still looking for a place to call home again since his Village's fall, Spades would meet Alice Morningstar ,a very sweet and nice women he had met while he was buying himself cigarillos from the local's.

Alice approached Spades mentioning smoking is a bad habit, and nothing comes good from it. Spades said sarcastically that didn't matter, he practically was cursed to eternal life anyways, expecting Alice to not take him seriously, but she could tell despite his sarcastic tone, he was dead serious. Alice asked Spades where he was from, to which Spades didn't know how to answer, he explained his village had crumbled but was located what modern times call "Sparrwood". Alice then asked Spades to come get a drink with her, to which Spades agreed as he had the time to waste after all.

They talked and talked for hour's, and while Spades was drunk, spilling his life story to Alice. Alice told Spade she too had her time stopped on her age,, sort of. She went on to explain her race, and how she can help Spades learn how to manage life knowing he will outlive almost everything. Spades was skeptical but agreed as he saw the genuine kindness in this gesture. Later while traveling with one-another, Spades began to look at Alice as a motherly figure, as she had been teaching him the ways of the new world, and how to deal with being resilient to age. To his surprise, Alice had offered to adopt Spades, and told Spades no matter where he is, she would be there to come help him in times of need, as they both are here practically forever. Spades hugged Alice and accepted it with tears in his eyes, as he had felt a mother's love, something he had long forgotten. Spades then went to go on his search for a home again, and parted ways for a time-being with his mom, and they promised to see one another soon.

The Venture for A Home
Spades had been looking for a new place to call home, he had not moved on, but accepted that his village was gone as millennia has past for him to mourn. He had been from town to town, nation to nation looking for a place he may fit in. With this in mind he had looked far out on the edges of Rathnir but only one had caught his attention. Tulipia, the nation with the flag of the Pink Tulip and embodied freedom's, courage, and a loving country.

Spades had been walking through this the Capitol Calioptigrad, stumbled upon Blue, the treasurer of Tulipia, and they had talked, Blue gave Spades some bread as Spades stated he was starving and hadn't eaten in days in his travels. Spades and Blue got talking more about the land and culture and Spades had decided it. He was going to reside here and put his loyalty and teaching's from his village here. He has made up his mind. He was going to bring his teaching's to Tulipia's people. Blue gave a Official tour of the Capitol Calioptigrad in Tulipia and showed Spades the way to where he'd be living for the time being. A small but cozy apartment with no taxes.

Spades began moving in into his apartment, and while meeting the Towns folk he had met Wonk, the current president of Tulipia, Over the time Spades had saved up some cash and was ready to buy some land, so he talked to Wonk about buying a old rundown build and a empty lot of land where a business later called Tokades will be built. Wonk agreed but for the price of 14k and which the deal was made. Spades still lived in his apartment but he now owns land in Calipotigrad. Which leads us to our next city of Tulipia.

Waldblume
Waldblume is owned by the chancellor of Tulipia, Shaerelia, as well with Wassal. Spades had went to Waldblume first, and he had been given a tour by Shaerelia herself! They had a look also at the local Tavern and met the owner Mcjackster27, which owned the brewery there. Both continued on the tour of Waldblume and the history of these historic lands.

Spades saw the beauty in the lands and how Waldblume still had so much room for buildings, population and overall potential. Spades had decided his house will reside in Waldblume so, he once again saved up money over the Couse of working in the mines, and the farms. He bought a small plot to hand-build his house for days and weeks. He also had purchased a small land for a homeless shelter. Spades still knowing little about brewing but having made friends with the local tavern owner, they had talked out a plan. To create a Brewing/Drug business and expand to other nations. The old abandoned building Spades had purchased in Calipotigrad now will serve a purpose after its rebuild. It will serve as a Office/Storage unit for the new company Mcjackster27 and Spades are founding. Spades now is starting up a business, owns a home and a new goal has come to mind. He wants to become a Senator for the people of Waldblume and Tulipia, He had already had good relations with majority of the government officials. It was just time he had to wait for as the next election was months away. Months go by and Spades look searching around the area of Waldblume's forest, found a Mushroom tree and instant flashbacks came to his mind. He realized where Waldblume stood, was where his old village once stood as well.

The Rotting Flower
Rotting Flower, the name given to the hard times of Tulipia. As a Rotting Flower can be saved, but only if it gets the care it needs. Spades had witnessed major events occur with a citizen joining, publishing a gruesome book, about the Chancellor of Tulipia, that ALL of these books were destroyed, and made illegal. The writer B0IO, was banished but not before the Chancellor had enough of fulfilling presidential duties and Chancellors all at once.

With the beloved president Wonk, going in MIA (Missing in Action), citizens begin to worry about the nation's fate and what will turn from these events. People are scared, poor, and worried about our loved state. Spades watched as the petals of this Tulip which once stood so high, are now falling. rotting. The elections were.. confusing,, and disasters. In government or not it was it view to all that there was a struggle. With no competition, wthewonk was reelected, and same goes for Vice President Gxlen which as well, had no competition.

Despite all the confusion, I was appointed a Senator for activity and productivity. We hope to save this nation, as it is our home. In Tulipia after the void/leaving for the previous chancellor, Spades took it upon himself to help lead his lovely nation out of this horrible time they are in. Spades ran and it appears he won Chancellorship as well as now helps Govern Waldblume! Now with this, Spades decided it was about time to establish a State Constitution for Waldblume. Creating a civil defense force called "The Bandit/Pirate Guard" comprised of only bandits that live in Waldblume! As well as establishing Rights and State laws for the people.

A Pirates Life for Spades
After the establishing of the Bandit/Pirate Guard, his son Demi immediately enlist himself to serve and protect Waldblume as a bandit. Spades seen how his pirate son grew up to be a wonderful yet strong young panda-man and was proud of him. Proud that he made his violent impulses into something beneficial for the family, and the nation. Soon after, Spades trained days upon days, months even. Spades had a different intention when he officially learned all that a pirate should know. He would spread Freedom and Happiness to those he would make bonds with. Spades learned all there is about a pirates way of life, and how to properly fight like a pirate. With this Spades officially becoming a pirate. His pirate name was "The Shroomhead Pirate", and would soon to be known around the seas as "The Pirate Lord of Unity."

Finding a trainer
While on Spades venture to hopefully become a widely known pirate, he traveled to bandit and pirate ran towns, while on this adventures he met someone by the nickname "Furyachelfg".

Meeting this man, Spades instantly knew his face, as he's the Leader of Borhammar and a Worldwide known pirate! Startled by this, Spades remembered something, that he to now is a pirate. Spades went up to Fury and they began to talk, with Fury giving him a tour of the area Spades was in, which so happened to be Borhammar City. Spades, loved the culture of this city, and how the entire system within this gorgeous place operated. So much so that Spades asked, if he may have a Dual Citizenship with Borhammar! Which Fury accepted and offered something Spades did not expect.

Fury offered to train Spades, teach him how to fight on par with him and how to live life to the fullest as a Pirate! Spades instantly took his offer, and gladly went to Borhammar's local tavern to drink with his new found friend. While drunk they walked their way back to Waldblume laughing and.. puking. Until they got there, where Fury said his goodbyes and told Spades they will met very soon for training! Which to Spades agreed, however what was unknown was the next time they crossed eyes, it would be a unpleasant meeting.

Within the Walls
In the Walls of Waldblume, after the establishing of the new constitution, making the bandit/pirate guard, Spades instantly enlist as he now is training with Fury himself! Construction within the walls of Waldblume were at a all time high with statues and new houses being made constantly! With the leave of the old Prime Minister of Waldblume, Spades and McJackster became the new official leaders of Waldblume! Spades helped with establishing the new official state roles within the province of Waldblume. Even so, the unrest in Waldblume towards the Tulipian government was very prominent, and showed no signs of wavering, which would take a turn of the best for Waldblumes people.

Valondor's Rise
Spades and the citizens within Waldblume were done, done with government that could not care enough to communicate with the province of Waldblume, and done with Tulipia as a whole. From the days it was a place of peacefulness and freedoms, When the pink tulip on the flag embodied more then a government in limbo and laughing stock in all foreign interactions. To now a rotting tulip.

So, Spades began working, working on a better place and home for those that did not want to live in such a dying state. Spades and two others (Chairmen) wrote the Valondor Constitution and Declaration of Independence! This made it official, Waldblume was no longer a province of Tulipia, but instead the Capital of Valondor! Government positions now made and a new form of government all together. Spades thinks this Nation, the nation of Valondor shall thrive throughout history!

The Roots Established in Valondor
 Valondor  is established in lands native with old Tortugan Piracy and Bandit Culture long ago, and the people of Valondor plan to reach back to their roots. With this means the nation of Valondor is also established with a pirate and bandit culture along with old Tulipian Culture. As soon as the establishing of Valondor, construction and work happened right away. In fact, the brewery even made their own alcohol native to Waldblume , called Waldblume Shroom Brew. Buildings, unique culture, and economy are all booming within Valondor, This was the Golden age for Valondor as everyone's happy with the establishment of the nation and its new pirate, and mushroom firm culture.

The Forging of Vlu Massana
Spades, now one of the leaders in the nation of Valondor, immediately ordered the forging of a weapon so grand and durable, that it was one of a kind. They used the materials from the mushroom stem of the "Heartbeat" mushroom for the handle in Waldblume, the hilt made from the purest form of gold found in the new town they gained at the time, Orthkol, and the Blade made out of Moon rock that contained abnormal metals, found in the lake in New Lequta, and Spades later on would embed apart of his blood into the forging, once it was finished the blade was named by Spades, Vlu Massana, translating to " Red Moon " as it was made from Moon rock, and with the blood of himself.

This blade was then sent off to the mages to bless the blade with the strength to persevere and cut through anything the holder wishes. Spades then seeing the power within this one blade, would later on hide the fact of its creation from Rathnir, deeming it was to strong of a weapon and would cause the destruction of all kind. Spades then concealed the blade and hid it in the Maitonoki Estate.

Forging of Helm's Reap
Spades was in need of a weapon able to handle his strengths, and so, he sent the best forgers within Valondor to make him a new and deadly weapon.

The handle of the weapon was not an easy at all part to make: it would be something that Spades would be able to hold, but any other player wouldn't be able to hold. It was a combination of both crying obsidian and blackstone merged together. The forgers believed that crying obsidian was a symbol for a strong will to live; as for blackstone, it had no symbol, but it was one of the few items that were rough to find.

Even with the materials gathered, the tough part was to merge the two materials together. They wanted it to look as though it was a singular material, and a good amount to where it wasn't heavy for Spades, but it could be heavy for anybody else. It was rough to make that decision of how much they would need to combine, however - who knew how much Spades could lift up without his arm getting sore?

The forgers would've gotten Spades, but one of them decided to test out a spell and see if they could make it to where only one person could hold a weapon, while it was heavy for the rest. They were no mage whatsoever, but they wanted to at least make an attempt. There was no tell in saying how this forger had done it, but it was done and it was time to move on to the sharper part of the scythe.

It wasn't much of an issue deciding what could be used for the sharper point - the forgers used netherite for the point as it would mix in with the crying obsidian and the blackstone.

Taking a look at the "completed" scythe, someone had walked in with a ship wheel that had been found in a ship ruin. It was cut vertical, and the person suggested that as a Pirate, Spades could work well with a scythe having a theme of pirates. The forgers agreed, and connected the wheel to the scythe.

As the weapon was finished with the wheel connected, the people who forged the weapon knew there was something missing to the weapon. They knew it would be able to attack and defend very well, but it had a key part missing to it. Any ideas that had been brought up were quickly dismissed - either ideas of adding more parts or decoration, as examples. After days of thinking, one of the forgers figured it out. It was missing a special effect that would go against the attacker. None of the forgers knew any more sort of spells to put on weapons, meaning they would have to venture out to find a mage that would be able to help.

Needing to find a mage may have been the cause for why it took months for the weapon to be completely finished due to the weight of the scythe (or because of the materials needed). Eventually, however, the forgers were able to find a mage that was very much willing to help. The mage inspected the weapon, taking their time to decide what could work with a scythe as wonderful as this. They had many spells, and went through each that could suit this scythe until finally they found one.

Seeing that the scythe was heavy, the spell itself was to be able to cause the weapon of the attacker become two times its weight whenever the attacker is hit. The main point of this spell was to have the weapon be unwieldable due to the heavy weight.

The forgers would go back and give Spades this new weapon, and after taking one look at the scythe, Spades knew what the scythe's name would be. As it had a wheel on the back, and it was shaped as a scythe, he named it "Helms Reap".

The Switch from Hierarchy to Libertalia
A long lived era was made of the Hierarchy ages of Valondor, but it had served its purpose to establish the roots of a great empire. The change within the Hierarchy of Valondor started when the Pirates of Tortuga annexed the Hierarchy on the account of Spades disappearance, he had gone off to a secret uncharted isle to dive within his soul, to find his inner instinct's, and conquer it to gain its power. Then upon Spades's return to his home, he found it ransacked by those he called friends within the Tortugan Courts. So he had took back his land, rebelled from Tortuga to form 'Libertalia O' Valondor' Spades had decided the Oligarchic leadership to be a court of Pirate lords, turning Valondor more into its piratical roots, as well as more of a imperialistic ideology.

War of the Red Tides
The war for Independence was devastating to both sides, for Ulifer & Spades's influence had dragged in the entire world of Ratham into it, making it a world war, which Spades had dubbed "War of the Red Tides". Both sides had lost countless of lives on the high sea's and in mainland battles, for many years this war would continue, but alas the war never fully got decided, for another war entirely had started which would be world shattering.

War of the Comet
The war of the comet was the most damaging war by far, for a God had come into the realms of Ratham, and set course a Comet towards the world which would end all life upon impact. A extinction event being inbound, Spades had gathered all of the strongest pirates, warriors and captains of Valondor and took them to what he dubbed "The Tomb of Water" inside of a hidden away ocean monument. The Tomb upon its opening sucked in all of the surrounding individuals into a 'other worldly dimension'. Outside of Time and Space, a bottomless sea with no surface. Until the Tomb was opened once more from outside this prison like dimension, those within would forever drown, and revive over, and over with no end.
