Blakeus7658

Appearance
They have dark charcoal grey fur, with light silver tinted fur on their back. They have a large scar on their chest from their death on the S.S. Beastly Brock. They are no longer blind however, their eyes have returned to normal since their days being alive originally. They wear a sunflower on their head as it is their favorite flower. Their outfit is a simple dress of white and a deep purple coat with intricate golden trim. They also wear the wedding ring given to them by their late wife Adashi Cornaro on their left paw.

Early life
The moment her parents laid eyes upon her charcoal grey fur, they were horrified. Blake's dull grey coat was in great contrast to her mother and father's autumnal colored pelts, colors they had always prided themselves. Those who wore such colors were said to come from an ancient and powerful bloodline. They would be seen as close to royals as commoners could get. Thusly, a child who did not meet their supposed standards was not their child in their eyes. If anyone else saw her, her parents would be laughed and scrutinized out of the group. So, without another thought, they cast their newborn pup into the wild, left to fend for herself in a harsh, cold land.

She never knew her parents, she never got to know. She had always assumed she was some sort of hellspawn born out of the earth itself, or artificially made by some sorcerer. A freak of nature, an abomination, a monster... However it was she came into the world, she soon learned she would have to manage on her own. With no one to teach her, she had to build her own set of survival skills.

Wandering
For all her life, Blake knew no place to call home. She had her semi-permanent huts and shelters from time to time, but she spent most of her days wandering. Through abandoned villages, huge cities, vast oceans, and more. Though she was content in her nomadic way of life, she couldn't help but feel an aching feeling in her heart. An aching for a home, a community. She had often wondered if there were others like her, others that looked like her, lived like her. But so far, there was no one. She wondered if she was the only person in the world sometimes, the only one left after some catastrophic event. She knew it was most likely an exaggeration by her own mind, though she still felt incredibly alone...One day, she happened to stumble upon a small town next to a lake. Unlike most times were she found a place was a ghost town, this time she was surprised to find another soul. But not just any soul, a person that looked like her! She had reunited with her kind at last.

Arrival in Vulpina
At last, she had finally found someone else like her. His name was BeastlyBrock, a tall Vul with orange and white fur, and green eyes. He was the owner of this small town, Sparport he called it, a town which was a part of the greater nation of Vulpinia. An entire nation of Vuls.. Blake knew this was the place she had been looking for all her life. Home.

She quickly got to work in her new home in Sparport. She had always had a passion for brewing, though she wasn't very good at it. Luckily, her new friend Brock, who happened to be one of Eldham's top brewmasters, and he enthusiastically took her under his wing as an apprentice brew master. Over the past several years, Brock has taught her many of his own secrets to brewing. She went from barely being able to brew, to being able to mass brew five star drinks in just a few years. And she's only getting better. With a tavern of her own, and her own custom drink, the Sunflower Surprise, she hopes to become a brewmaster herself one day.

By this point in Blake’s life, things were certainly looking up. She had become a fully fledged member of the Vul community. Not only that She invented her own signature drink, and even became a project leader for Sparport’s expansion and eventual merging with Anthari. But as most things in life, where there are high points, lower points must follow.

During the expansion, Blake and others of Vulpinia found out that one of their own members was in fact a criminal. He’d been caught stealing from other citizens of Sparport, as well as using forbidden ghost blocks to gain an advantage over others, and just general assholery. All of which are high crimes not just in Vulpinia, but in all of Eldham. So, it was decided by BeastlyBrock that Twin must be exiled from Vulpinia all together.

On his final day, he was in a blind rage, ready to kill anyone who so much as looked at him the wrong way. As such, he and Blake got into a heated duel where he managed to slash both her eyes, leaving her unable to see and in terrible pain. After he was killed by BeastlyBrock for his crimes, it was unclear whether Blake would be able to see fully again, if at all. She would not let this bring her down, however, She will continue to persevere in her career, even with this new disfigurement. She will have to hone her other sense to be greater than her sense of sight ever could be.

Religious involvement
It was harder than she had expected it would be, learning how to function without her vision. Maybe she was too optimistic, as she'd always had been, as she had learned to be. Though she refused to give up, she couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness. Not being able to see anyone again, not being able to see the vibrant colors of the world, the beauty of the sunrise over the vast blue ocean. Disheartening, to say the very least.

Through the next several months of training herself, she slowly began to develop, or perhaps discover something new. You see, there is an ancient and rare phenomena, through the severing of one's earthly ties, one takes a step closer to divinity. Through the severing of Blake's earthly ties, that being her physical vision, she discovered she has a unique ability of foresight. Foresight, is the ability to see one step ahead at all times. It's similar to being able to see into the future, though Blake's new vision only allows her to see into a short radius of the future. She can see all possible outcomes of a given situation, and in turn, what to do in each given outcome.

She does not know how to fully control this new ability as of yet, but since discovering it, she feels a great sense of purpose. She feels she can use her foresight for greatness.

Blake has now found control over her power of foresight. Many people all over Vulpinia hear of her newfound ability, and come to see her as a sort of prophet. Many come to her for guidance on squabbles, and politics. That's all well and good, but she has to admit, it's all terribly boring to her. She wants to use her powers to do something great for her nation, instead of just settling petty arguments.

One night, after several hours of brewing for her new tavern, a strange vision came to her in the depths of her dreams. A vision of a very tall, imposing Vul, shrouded in shadows. The Vul called himself Zerdeus, the patron god of Brewing among the Vulpur Nabu pantheon. He bestowed upon her the knowledge of every generation of brewers that came before her, and gave her the task of spreading his good word among all peoples of the world.



As soon as she awoke from her vision, she knew what she had to do next. She got quickly to work, building the first Church of Zerdeus. She knew that she had a great burdon placed upon her, but she had determination to fulfill the quest of her god. To teach as many people as she could, the ways of brewing.

Marriage and family
Many years have past since Blake became the prophet of Zerdeus. After proving herself to be a more than compitent member of the Royal Court of Vulpinia, she was swiftly promoted to the Count of Rynwood Province, serving just under the Duke, BeastlyBrock. She's now one of the more powerful citizens of Vulpinia, and needless to say, she's never been happier.

She had gained many connections throughout Eldham with her new position. The people of Skjoldrbrodir allowed her to take dual citizenship in the city of Steinborg so she could be a builder there. The Gaians of Rathnir took her advice and decided to expand their services to Eldham as well. One Gaian in particular, took a great interest in her. Her name was Adashi Cornaro, Queen of the Assoti people, and founder of the Gaians. Over the years they got to know eachother, working together on many business ventures, getting into shenigians together, having fun. They became inseperable friends, eventually growing even closer, supporting eachother through the thick and thin.

Until one fateful day. Blake had come to visit Marsium to see how the town had progressed since she had left. It was there Adashi met her oldest friend to ask a very important question. For her permission to take Blake's paw in marriage.

Blake said yes.

It's been more than ten years now since Blake joined Vulpinia. It's safe to say she's is one of the nation's most beloved members. However, with the passage of time comes great change. With the beginning of the Age of Steam and Vulpinia's very first steamship company, VOSC coming in with full force, it was time for the old to die out peacefully. The Nation needed a new leader to help see it through to it's full potential. Thus, at the beginning of the new year, Westeros Durradayne, second Valar of Vulpinia, annouced that he would be officially be stepping down from his position as ruler. In his place, his newest son in law, Brock Yocotl would take up the mantle, soon ushering in more progress.

With a new face to represent Vulpinia, there would be even more change to come for the now merged royal family. Brock and Shib made the desicion to bring in many new faces into the royal line. Blake would be the first, not related by blood, but still becoming their daugther by adoption, and becoming directly in line to the throne. Along with her, Brock and Shib had two more children, Kk and Jolly, as well as a second adoptive child, Shrug.

Blake had never had a family before, so needless to say, this was a whole lot to take in and get used to. But no matter what happened, she'd just be happy to finally have a place to truly call home.

Final Sacrifice
It was a wonderful day. The sun seemed to shine brighter than it ever had before, not a cloud in the sky to block it. On this day, AwesoomeJ, leader of VOSC, personally invited Blake to see over the progress of The Vulperium's very first commercial steamship, the V.S.S. BeastlyBrock. The unfinished ship was being held together in the meantime by many structural supports in the gantry, making the shell of the ship almost completely safe to walk on. Blake found herself looking out into the vast, deep blue waters of the Aeneum Sound. The smell of sea salt and the sound of the waves crashing against Aroforn's docks made her feel more alive than ever. Though she felt a stinging feeling in the back of her head, feeling as thought something was about to go horribly wrong. She brushed it off as best she could, not wanting it to ruin her day. Blake and J spent many hours discussing plans for new Vulperium ships. It was getting late, and Blake had many plans for the next day, so she decided to take her leave. Just then, one of the support beams snapped.

The following is an anonymous eyewitness account of one of the ship workers that day:

“It wasn’t clear to me after the ship had slid out of the gantry what the problem was, but there was for sure a problem, we could all see it. The ship was listing heavily to starboard and you could see people jumping into the water. The tugs were gathered together and sent out to help out in rescue operations. The ship itself was not in good shape, it was still listing heavily to starboard and going down by the bow. It was listing so dramatically after a few minutes it looked like it was floating on its side. Then, very suddenly the ship broke, right down the middle, into two similar-sized sections. The bow section of the ship flipped over completely and dropped like a stone, the stern section lingered for a bit longer upright but eventually, it also sank, gently sliding beneath the surface. Blake Yocotl-Durradayne, had used her gift of future sight to see how to get everyone off that ship. It isn't clear to me, but from the knowing look in her eyes, I think she knew she was going to die. She had no time to panic with the rest of us, she knew what she had to do. Blake helped us all jump off the ship before it completely capsized. We were the last to see her alive. Standing on top of the hull. We watched her sink beneath the waves. Her last breaths sacrificed to see us out safe."

Blake Yocotol-Durradayne, died at age 26, on January 17th of the first year of the Vulperium empire. She died saving the people she cared about, and for that she will always be remembered as a hero. The wreck of the V.S.S. BeastlyBrock remains sunken beneath the Aeneum Sound, as a grim reminder of the beloved Vul's tragic death.

Rebirth
''“...And from the violent waters of the sea in which she met her demise, she rose again. Reborn by the grace and mercy of the God of Life, returned to this world to save it from itself.” - Unknown''

Blake’s Calyie was fractured, scattered about time, hopeless of ever regaining itself as a whole. Memories from countless lives lived, experienced by the same soul, yet different people. It was said that the twin gods had cursed them long ago for crimes lost to all memory. Cursed with the gift of immortality. Bound to this mortal realm, never to truly die, their spirit getting more and more fractured with each life lost. With the fall of the Vulperium to the nightmarish menace known as the Nabrus, the Gods took counsel amongst themselves. They couldn't let the nation of their precious children turn to dust, for they cared too deeply. They came to a decision to take the most valuable people from Vulpur history, and revive them and enfuse them with some of their divine might, so they could in turn restore the nation to its former glory. Amongst those people chosen for such a task, was Blake. While their Calyie had been cursed for crimes unspeakable, they had indeed done much good in their lives since that time, enough good that one God in particular, Latrendeus, the Father of Life itself took great pity upon them. Thus, by the mercy and generosity of his will, Blake's fractured self was made anew, sent down the mortal realm to do the Gods’ bidding.

They awoke in complete darkness. Not yet aware of themself, or what had happened. It was said by witnesses to this event that they appeared like a ghost, floating calming above the torrential waves of the sea. Draped in an elegant dress of white, silent, motionless, the sea below glowing with a power beyond this mortal world. They drifted onto land, and sat, and then remembered, all of it. Every life they had ever lived, it all came to them at once like the pouring rain around them. They remembered their death in the S.S. Beastly Brock incident, their time living as Briar Yocotl-Durradayne, one of the twin princesses, even their life as a tiny little Bat living in Lazodi.

They did not know how they came back to life, they couldn’t quite recall the details in the haze of being reborn. All they knew was they had come back for a reason. To save the nation they had once helped build hundreds of years earlier, to save it from destroying itself.

The death of Blake
Blake partook in the final war between the worlds of Rathnir and Eldham. The end of both her world and the other was near. She knew that if she was going to die, she would rather go out fighting for the world she loved, than sit idly by. The armies of Eldham were vastly outnumbered, but that did not kill their spirit. They gave it every thing they had in them, Blake was never the best fighter in the world, but she fought all the same. Through shear willpower and valiant spirit, the Eldhamites won the war. Those who lost their lives in the fight, Blake included, will never be forgotten for their efforts, their drive to continue against all odds.

Blake Yolcotl-Durradayne was beloved by the people of Vulpinia. She never gave up on the nation that made her who she was, and she died with the spirit of all the citizens of Vulpinia. Her body lies among the fallen soldiers of the Eldham Legion, where she will remain, at peace, for the rest of time.

Resurrection (again)?
Blake did in fact die in the comet war, but she came back as a ghost to fight in the actual final battle, the battle of all battles. This time, no one won the war. Both the Eldham Legion and the Rathnir Entente died in the ensuing meteor shower. Blake however, was just glad to be back one last time, to see the end of the worlds for herself, and the end of Stoney himself. Now, she will be truly at rest.

Author's Final Notes
I thought the battle before this one was gonna be the final battle, L me. This is TRULY the final entry in this page. It was a hell of a time playing on Eldham, and Rathnir too to an extent. The friendships I made, and the crazy events I was part of, I will always remember and cherish them. You can find me when the new world comes and I'll be playing with my newest character. I will always remember the fun times I had here, I can't wait to have more fun times on the new world. VIVA LA ELDHAM!!
