Miliu X. Prolcan-Hapaqalchi is a Lhûren citizen of Nation Of Aurara, with a multi citizenship with Simulami, Imperial Aristios and the Shakumagi Federation in Eldham, as well as the Grand Castell-Llozhar, Kingdom of Greater Prolings and the Hiarllii Federation in Rathnir. He started off as a petty criminal before learning to do better. However, a war led him to his crisis of faith, leading him to a reluctant journey into Makerism and subsequent discovery of his noble heritage as well as recruitment into the Yankara Kriegal Research Division.

Personality
Despite his shady past, Miliu can be described as incredibly loyal. Once devoted to a cause he tends to grab a hold of it and will almost never let go. This is both a good and a bad thing as he is very susceptible to tunnel vision, with his black and white thinking unable to comprehend the person or belief he chose is anything other than perfect. This seems to stem from his desperate need for companionship, born out of living in mostly isolation for a century. This naivete will be the death of him, even he believes. Besides his unrelenting beliefs, a part of him still struggle with his base instincts. This desire to steal and fend for himself violently put down in his psyche. As such, backstabbing is more than just a crime to him. Being betrayed to him is proving true in his eyes that he's better off alone, away from the scary people that he fled from all his life. So he holds back those needs of his through his devotion to his new religion. But the path for true redemption isn't as easy as he thought it'll be. This paranoia of people developing into cowardice he is trying to shake himself away from.

This comes to ahead at the first war declaration on Aurara leading to his spiral. The subsequent experiences however led him to GOLF where his strings of bad luck led to further humility. Others have mentioned he seemed less jumpy after those months. Still is a bit, but definitely a bit more put together as he works into learning more under Makerism. His faith only grew and his beliefs about how other local religions developed gets published into books he wrote on his spare time. Which is overall the belief that everything in the end all comes from GONF.

His belief gets tested however as an encounter led to something entering his mind. He tries to push it down however, his belief in GONF keeping him strong, for now. This was later revealed to be an illness caused by exposure to the void, though it isn't clear if he got it as a child or during his time as researcher. This only grew his paranoia, leading to drastic actions that only resulted in further deaths, which are only barely reversed via clones.

More deaths only seemed to make Miliu's state worse. His swarm self, which he began calling Swarmiliu seems to be far more innocent, almost childlike compared to the "original" Miliu. That is unless he is ordered by the Overmind to do horrible deeds. Even still, Swarmiliu possesses all of original Miliu's memories, with him insisting he is the real Miliu still. Meanwhile, the more clones Miliu goes through, the more he seemed to lose from his original personality. On his first death, the paranoia hits hard, resulting in a more jumpy, almost always angry Miliu. This might go worse the more he dies.

Appearance
When he was much younger he looked more like a general lhûren, resembling his mother only with slightly darker olive skin and reddish eyes. However, possibly due to an encounter, his magical properties went completely haywire. This led to his more scaly skin and sharp horn like points growing out of his head. His further experiments under Yankara Kriegal Research Division led to further mutations. His draconic horns and flightless feathered wings and now completely scale covered orange skin is testament to that. This did not bother him however though it did led to him further losing touch to his actual culture, mistaking himself as a draaken which he resembled.

Backstory


Born from Gabrielle Spades Cornaro Prolcan I in the capital of the Kingdom of Greater Prolings, Miliu was stolen away by a panicking thief as a baby, taken to the outskirts of Tortuga where he was raised to be criminal. As such, despite his lhûren heritage, this wanderer never grew close to his culture, that side of him almost completely alien to himself. In fact, he believed he was draaken for the longest time due to his strange appearance. His parental figure not even bothering to teach him anything else, forcing him to hide his pointed ears in an effort to blend in as more human in the states of Lakkos. Eventually however, he grew tired of petty thievery and crime, so he took a boat to Eldham, turning back on the person whom raised him.

Something occurred however as he set out between worlds. His boat was captured by something resembling a storm. A gigantic burst of magic energy that swept him and the rest of the crew. This seemed to have affected the latent magic capabilities he had, violently sending his body into a magical spasm that left him completely mutated. Soon, he emerged more dragon than man, and it left him traumatized since. This incident possibly led to him being contacted by the Yankara Kriegal Research Division in the future, though he wasn't sure. Either way, he took this as a sign that he could never go back.

For the longest time, he lived in a small hole in Eldham, witnessing atrocities done by some of its inhabitants. Soon, he returned to mugging in his need to survive in this new world. This birthed his distrust of the civilizations, whom he saw as cruel and warmongering, and yet he still kept getting help from shady characters after realizing he can't survive on his own. Monstrously ambitious and cruel would be tyrants and backstabbers employed him for small jobs here and there while providing just enough to let him keep living his isolationist life style. And that was how he lived for the longest time, a perpetual cycle of only engaging with worse people only confirming his mistrust, forging him to be bitter and cold.

That all changed when he was later picked up by the ruler of the budding province of Aurara. A small waterside land up north east (at that time). Experiencing immense kindness for the first time in his life, the former small time no good scum pledged his allegiance to the small town, vowing to spread its influence across Eldham and Rathnir. As such he got involved in several factions before meeting the love of his life and his lost family in the lands he once turned his back on.

Setting up Shop (276 TE, Oct 5-6 2023)
Taking odd jobs here and there, Xelousi has since started setting up a blacksmithing shop after recently since discovering the magic of enchanting. Aware he's always had magic talent in his veins, his lack of awareness of his draconic heritage led to him making a conclusion that his powers are all provided by the Gods he's pledged his allegiance too, saying they've always watched over him. Due to that, he made use of the blacksmithing skills he's developed over providing for warmongers and combine it with his recently discovered talent. He has since dubbed his weapons as "Blessed", selling them to folks worthy.

With newfound confidence, he gave it a chance and spoke with the owner of Monkey Mart, a budding trade hub, to possibly set up shop there. He also applied for dual citizenship with Simulami to try spreading business there, still trying to make coin alongside his mission.

A new friend (276 TE, Oct 6, 2023)
Whilst in the middle of his everyday mining, Miliu met an undead calling himself Ikuzombie. Still high in spirits over recent successes, Miliu was far more willing to take in the recently awoken zombie and provide him with the necessary tools to survive in his unlife, he had accidentally blinded one of his eyes though which is now perpetually white and slightly glowing.. He proceeded to invite Ikuzombie into Aurara, helping him with the basics. Him and Ikuzombie became fast friends, with him treating Ikuzombie as the Auraran citizens treated him.

Unfortunately, things aren't going to be as easy of a breeze as it initially seemed to be.

War? (276 TE, Oct 6, 2023)
A sudden announcement shook Miliu to his core, the meeting between northern leaders ended not as good as expected, and thus, the small nation of Aurara is warned of an upcoming war. His paranoia kicking in, Miliu took his and a couple of his friends' items and hid them away from the would-be battle ground. Overhearing further details from his leader, Miliu began his own preparations over what must be done.

Not being a particularly good combatant, Miliu had since sunk further into his criminal past. Going forth training, he finally took up an offer a few years ago given to him before Aurara took him in and changed him, the Blitzian Mafia. He begins gathering materials for preparations, believing he should begin fighting should he wish to protect the town he holds dear, despite his issues with the path he's threading once again.

The guilt over what he is throwing himself into led to his soul searching going forward. Praying for answers from his Frog God, he goes forth, going from town to town in an attempt to clear his mind off of the sins he will most definitely need to do. That was when a fellow citizen of Aurara came to him with his own answer.

What if he seeks wisdom to other Gods?

Converting (276-277 TE, Oct 7-8 2023)
He was introduced to Makerism. Initially despondent of the idea of taking wisdom from a different religion, Xe'lousi's trust of his fellow Aurarans won out and he sank himself in Makerism books. This lead him to another conflict. Taken in by the Makerist creeds, he began to question whether his Frog Deity is nothing to the seemingly more influential deity of the older religion. Suddenly, his dream of spreading the good croak of the Lord seems small by comparison, this lead to an intense break down that led to him shutting himself off in his house for a few months. But he feels he has to find his answers soon, for he accepted a proposal of baptism. If there's a time for him to find the peace of mind he's seeking it is then. Soon the day finally arrived and the lhûren went for his pilgrimage to the communist ruled city of Renapheus. Struck in awe at the ritual before him, Miliu faced the fire he was expected to jump on and the river that will save him from the burns. The hesitation later managed to cease, and he touched the flames. The ritual went on hence forth and he was baptized under G0NF. The celebration of the other now devotees didn't quell his mind however. Through his reeling from the fresh pain of the fires miraculously dissipating, that hesitation never truly left. That doubt growing into horror.Despairingly, hidden under a smile, he bids the layman goodbye before setting off, but his lingering doubts seems to have been sensed by the God above. Or at least, he believed so, as things went south for him quick. A series of accidents led to him being trapped dying in a hole he fell through on the road, and he found himself stripped of all the gear he's worked on for months. In pain, he huddled in the dirt, lamenting his confusion and fear over possibly being punished for having these thoughts. Until finally, he turned to the words of their holy scriptures.

The story of how the river was formed by the toils and humility of its workers, and its mirroring to his own current situation led Miliu to a conclusion. He was being tested, made humble by GONF above. This gave him enough hope and drive to go forward, reacquiring his wealth and gaining a bit more enlightenment. The experience had him returning to Renapheus a few weeks later, asking to become a layperson in attempts to further learning from GONF, his issues not solved just yet but he has since grown more open in finding avenues to work on it.

New Land, New Businesses (277 TE, Oct 9 2023)
Business went forward as months pass. Managing to fulfill his tests under the Makerist church, he was awarded with the role of Abbot, and his journey commences. Pledging to start spreading the words of GONF, he proceeds with his other ventures. Specifically, finally getting his dual citizenship with Simulami approved. With great timing too as Simulami doesn't accept the Makerist belief.

Here lies the issue however, as due to the state's laws, it not being state recognized means it is currently deemed treasonous. Thus, he hides his faith in these lands for the time being, awaiting for his chance to begin converting those willing into the faith. It is tricky however, but the dual presence between his Auraran loyalty and new Simulami allegiance means his responsibilities are hereby twofold, giving him an excuse to not be always present in Simulami affairs for the time being. Still, he IS a lhûren, so maybe some respect to whence he came is something he should start recognizing.

Besides that, he finally gathered his things and set off via ship, onto the lands of Rathnir where his parents once came from. There he participated in the mission to spread the faith across the Old World. But first, he is in need of a residence. Taking up a citizenship for the GCL, he joined the Maple Adventurer's Guild situated in Gaular. Knowing that travel shall be necessary in his goals, he took up their offer there to gain a bit more experience and coin for his troubles as being a man of the cloth doesn't necessarily pay the bills too well.It was quite the first experience indeed. In a Rathnir welcome, he found himself in conflict with another adventurer, Dragonk, due to issues with how other holy men treated Dragonk's kind. Meanwhile in Gaular, he got immediately mugged during the tour, though he mostly survived unscathed. Truly he now knows the dangers of the Old World and the precautions he must take should he live to preach Makerism to its people.

Finally, he had perused the pages in the Gaular libraries, where he stumbled upon works from the partnered Lore Guild. There, he found inspiration of their philosophy. In the end, he took their creed in stride, believing they shall be of much comfort during his time of uncertainty.

A Family and Conflict (277 TE, Oct 9-11 2023)
As the drums of war ceased in Aurara, the citizens were notified to start moving for new land. There, he met a young wanderer named Adequate, a nomad whom stayed on the new land. Taking a liking to him the same way he had to Ikuzombie, he adopted the young-ling as his own. Adequate agreed and he made his first family.

Meanwhile, tensions seems to be brewing between him and Ikuzombie over his faith. It seems at some point he might have to choose between him and GONF due to his very hard stance against most religions. That, and the Auraran head of the Frog Temple is displeased with his conversion. His loyalties are beginning to be tested and he was unsure as to how to start proceeding.

Then, somebody knocked to his door.

To know what can't be known (277 TE, Oct 11 2023)
He is approached by someone whom offered him a deal he couldn't refuse. Knowledge that can't be known. He knows things will never be the same. He locks himself up in his home for a few months in contemplation on what must be done.

He descends.

The Mission (278 TE, Oct 12 2023)
He was taken out of his stupor by a notification from his Pontifex. The church has a mission specifically for him, the young abbot. His heart sinks with fear at the following words:

So he departs, preparing to do his duty in the lands of Simulami and the GCL, knowing the dangers of the task at hand.

The First Quest (278 TE, Oct 11 2023)
As he fled the wars still raging on Eldham, Miliu began further settling onto his double life on GCL. Here he went forward with his first Adventurer's Guild quest, traveling several blocks onto waters and land. There he finally finished his treck, writing down a journal of his journey. Along the way he also saved a Skeleton Horse from the seas, only to be attacked by Skeletal Horsemen while on his boat. His Skeleton Horse friend came to the rescue however, and his new steed took him to the ends of his first adventure.

He left a sign, marking his progress in the guild.

His first Stoa (278 TE, Oct 12 2023)
Further involving himself in Grand- Castellan politics, on the same day he ended up joining one of their stoas, finally meeting many of the members as well as the activities around the country. This insight shall be of utmost use in his mission to spread GONF in this new continent. So far, nothing is of major issue, and he enjoys partaking in the country's dishes and alcohol with his new friends.

Breaking the Masquerade (278 TE, Oct 12 2023)
On that day, Miliu was present for the interview between Concordia Public Radio and Yankara Kriegal Research Division where the masquerade is broken and further info about the foundation is shared to the outside world. He is unsure about this proceedings but trusted the Founder on what they were doing.

The new land after the War (277 TE, Oct 12 2023)
After a year of strife, the Kingdom of Aurara has finally settled after the war, and thus moving to a new land, that was where he met Adequate, his future son. Building a new home, he noticed Ikuzombie staying away from him. The zombie having one of his eyes blinded by the sun just recently. Miliu would try approaching but issues between them seems to grow. So he ignored him, attempting to build his new home both here and in Seigi. Soon however, it was Ikuzombie who approached, wanting to mend something between them both, handing him as Friendship Amethyst to keep their bond strong. Miliu accepted it, though he remains a bit unsure.

Baptisms (278 TE, Oct 12 2023)
Having received interest from Rathnirians to hear of the faith further, Miliu attends his first proper baptism as an Abbot as observed by his Pontifex. There, he performed the ritual on the lake of Romunus where a chapel has been erected. This is a big win for the faith whom first had only a little Rathnir influence as compared to Eldham. Here, Miliu has volunteered to start focusing on the Rathnirian front, baptizing people from this world as the others focus on Eldham.

At the same day, Miliu has also formally did a baptism on the Renapheus River, with the first Auraran after him is baptized. Makerism spreads onto Eldham once more.

Madness, Taken (278 TE, Oct 13 2023)
Miliu stood frozen at the sight of the body before him. He tried. He lays dead before you, and it was all your fault. Where is GONF now you hypocrite? Where is your Maker? Oh you poor child. You see it now do you? The space cracking beneath your gaze. The orbit giving way to your sight. The horizon up above... devoured.You have only gaze its teeth.

How much further are you going?

The body disintegrates in your fingers, its remains clinging onto your claws. Pretty soon it'll happen.

Your time is ticking, Miliu.

New Homes (278 TE, Oct 14 2023)
Shaking off his earlier visions, Miliu goes forward with his mission of spreading Makerism onto Rathnir. First, he finally finalized his papers with the former vassal of Tortuga now its own independent nation, Romanus. He is now granted citizenship in the small nation and a home under its small Makerist chapel. There, the Abbot took the role of overseeing this new nation's faith, guiding them in the name of GONF. This is a win for the faith that for a while had only been more active in the new world of Eldham. And his Pontifex let him know that should he spread the faith further, he may be granted the title of Bishop in this area in the future. His responsibilities grew, getting heavier upon his shoulders.

Besides this however, he went further with his mafia business. Taking residence in Kilivaria on the nation of Wiconis, there he took the role of helping with a province under the Blitzian Mafia's control. Here he learned of their folk religion of Kili'ism and their worship of their water deities, which he simply viewed as yet another belief not touched by GONF, thus him not commenting on it. He only smiled and accepted the room provided for him where he may stay. His encounter of more folk beliefs making him think and question which are simply interpretations of the Maker and which are not. Either way, he is staying for unsavory businesses. GONF will not smile upon his future actions, but he must honor the loyalty he pledged for the Blitzian Mafia. He shall take whatever punishment he may have, for that is all he believes he could do.

A brush of War (278 TE, Oct 15 2023)
But he merely tried to bury them further into his psyche. Nothing bad is going to happen, at least, he could only pray to GONF that that is the case. In trying to clear the static in his brain, he heads back to his first home in Rathnir in the GCL taiga. Here, he was already hearing murmurs of war for reasons he doesn't quite understand yet. For the past few days he had been helping with prep himself. But, this isn't why he's here this instance. As if answering his begging, GONF seems to have pulled the strings of fate once again, or at least, that was his interpretation. For by some miracle, it seemed that the war was called off for just a moment.The people of Gaular instead took this moment for celebration. A great display of fireworks is fired upon the night sky. Miliu watches in awe, alcohol in hand, at the sight. It was a moment of respite since his dreams were plagued by notions of a disaster afoot. Instead, this was a time of nothing but joy. He stumbled around drunk, taking pictures with his fellow citizens, and having tussles in the tavern. For a moment he even saw one dude on fire. But it was all good, him realizing he has an appreciation of vodka during these flagrant displays of merriment. He simply spent these day laughing along his buddies and having a good time.

He slept dreamless that night.

Further Celebrations (278 TE, Oct 15 2023)
With a new appreciation of alcohol, of course Miliu was also there for yet another celebration.In Simulami's New Jellhem, there is the Royal Rumble that commonly takes place between the noble houses of this old nation. Here, the nobles duke it out in a friendly tournament of sorts where they combat each other for supremacy. Miliu was there as spectator, cheering along houses he is not as familiar with at that point. But it was all in good fun, as he munches on potatoes watching these rich people beat the snot out of each other.

Of course, the time he was looking forward to came when everyone gathered in a tavern. He listened to the interview done with the champion of the current competition, him awkwardly just sitting behind him. It doesn't quite matter though cause he was here for the drinks. And drink he did.

Here, he also took witness of a new religion blooming, as a lily pad miraculously just seem to pop up on the icy waters. He doesn't comment as the locals took it as a sign of a new god. Internally though, he had a good chuckle at GONF's sense of humor as he interpreted it. He shows himself in many ways as what was told.

Ghostly Battle (277-278 TE, Oct 10-15 2023)
With the Maple Adventurers' Guild he set off with Miguel Gnome, Dragonk, and Koka Samerdio in solving a ghost issue with a given town. Apparently the creature appears with a brief moment of vulnerability for a short time. The ghost is known as Wakki and it had been causing issues due to reasons not otherwise stated. Miliu fought it using a Spectre Axe he recently picked up almost as if fate. This proved useful as the axe howls in his arms as he fought to protect his friends. Miliu was also there upon the exorcism, where Dragonk managed to talk Wakki down. There, he witnessed Miguel help the townsfolk create a portal out of obsidian, where Wakki entered, disappearing. The portal explodes behind the specter, hopefully indicating they won't be a threat again.

First Betrayal (279 TE, Oct 16 2023)
Soon, he had to do what he had to do.His association with the Blitzian Mafia should lead him into unsavory places, he knew that even with his own naivete. But he trusted his don which led him to conflict with people he otherwise had no issues with, the Scholar's Guild. Unfortunately, he already had some positive relations with them at first due to his connections with the Lore Guild. Alas, he had to do as he was told, and deep down, he actually enjoyed wrecking havoc in the university. In Temple Island, he pulled up with his Kilivarian king, Failure, all to take down the historian, Liberatus, for allegedly trying to assassinate his boss while drunk. While he has no opinion against Liberatus specifically, he has to believe in his boss, so he moves forward into raiding the small island school. There he witnessed Failure get taken down multiple times, and in rage, he helped murder their pet foxes when his opponents ended up holing underground away from them. He witnessed war be drafted against the inhabitants, and did not protest. He was angry. Deep down he knows what he did is wrong, but his anger for his king took over.

He supported the mafia in their cause this time. He is in too deep. It took him a bit to realize what he had done, he has betrayed people who trusted him. The realization made him spiral, taking him back to the Gaular taverns to drink. He has done horrible, but he has to do it. GONF smiles at loyalty, right?

Even he knows that's not the case this time.

Cloning (279 TE, Oct 16 2023)
Whilst helping with research, Miliu was henceforth approached by YKR-033 "Rising Private", whom noticed his rising progress. In growing desperation he agreed to provide them with some of his DNA to process possibly growing a new body for him to inhabit should his condition go south. While he hopes it didn't end that way he agrees and with a bit of prismarine and lapis, he is created. Miliu watched as his old form regrew from what he once was. The only person he mentioned it to being who he treated as a son, Ikuzombie.

The Faith, Threatened (279 TE, Oct 17 2023)
As if fate is laughing at him, Miliu awoke with dire news from the Pontifex. The church of Boulderism have declared Makerists as heretics and a threat to the world's unity. The Pontifex had hereby gathered the clergy stationed in Rathnir, where he is based, to tell them to be careful of hostilities. Miliu stood firm, filing Boulderism as one of those beliefs that tricked the unknowing under the lies of Emmen. He held his axe firm, preparing himself for the worse. Little did he knew how correct he would be.

World Engine Failure (279 TE, Oct 17 2023)
He is part of the people put in a frozen stasis as the "world engine" failed. Miliu has no memories of what occurred exactly during this time.

Moon Landing (279 TE, Oct 18 2023)
Upon the return of the world back from stasis, Miliu was once again involved in another adventure in the Maples Adventurer's Guild. This time, an entity only calling himself Mattatrix the Mad Druid commissioned him and fellow adventurers a strange request. Pointing upwards, they were told to go to the Moon, apparently to nab an item he had left there. Quickly taking on a suit lent to him by fellow researchers, Miliu joined in the journey where things immediately go awry. Magic siphoning creatures attacked him and his group, before their combined efforts finally took them down, and they journeyed onward across the Moon's landscape. He's since written a journal detailing his first foray into magical induced space travel.

Honoring Remains (279 TE, Oct 19 2023)
Back in his planet, Miliu took his time exploring the nether. Here he passed by a sorry sight, a dead body of a sorry adventurer lost in the hellish dimension. On their person are two interesting things, a sword with whispering spirits, possibly attracted by properties he hasn't fully understood yet. Another is a hoe more teaming with demonic powers just writhing inside it. Horrified of such artifacts and yet knowing he cannot just leave them there to be taken by some unwary traveler, Miliu made a choice. He whispers prayers for the departed person, burying them in the overworld whence they came. To GONF, he prayed for their soul to have mercy. Finally, he blessed the remaining weapons, lending one to his son for safekeeping. The experience only making his faith stronger, as he hoped for the best of the person.

Goblin Friendo (280 TE, Oct 20 2023)
During his many travels, Miliu is bound to stumble upon yet another person. Having found herself in Eldham through ship and seemingly unsure of what to do, Miliu befriended a character only calling herself Omniscient Goblin. Who is, in fact, a goblin, though seemingly through reasons he isn't quite privy to (or perhaps even she did not knew) she managed to look almost completely human. Barring a few features that are distinctly goblinoid such as her posture almost always hunched like she's barely able to stay upright.

This goblin person seems content simply digging and traveling alongside him. As such, Miliu took her on a boat as a travel companion all across Eldham. He provides her with tips and knowledge to make it in the world, finding amusement at how much the goblin seems to be fixated on obsidian. Finally, Omniscient ended up finding his place, besides following Miliu around.

Entering an Undead Domain (280 TE, Oct 20 2023)
Whilst on a port stop, Miliu witnessed Omniscient speaking with a new person, a familiar type of guy. Amongst his travels, undead is one of the more common folks he had encountered. So meeting a lich isn't too strange for Miliu. What surprised him however was Omniscient's quick befriending of the man after simply being promised "shinnies". He followed her with the lich up to his domain floating on the sky through unseen power, potentially using the mana crystal in its core. His goblin friend took up residents as one of the lich's mooks which she gladly accepted in favor of being able to dig as much as she want. Miliu took note of this, forging a bond with this undead dungeon monster as he leaves Omniscient to get used to her now new home.

Seigi Council Debate (280 TE, Oct 21 2023)
Miliu was around during the second Seigi council event. Whilst the actual event seemed standard as political debates go, what Miliu noticed as strange during the entire thing was quite peculiar even for him. Here he first witnessed the previously mentioned catgirlification disease with Brutus (brute_chieftain) taking the cursed form. It rapidly spread to other people in the same event. Miliu is still unaffected however due to his own illness, but that isn't the only disaster he witnessed that day. One of the political candidates was nearly assassinated, the perpetrator being swiftly put down. And just as the event was wrapping up, a Seigi tradition occurred, which are several people getting drunk and beating each other up. Miliu is only barely able to fend off his attackers before things calmed down after a long moment.

Rathnir Mob Recruitment (280 TE, Oct 21 2023)
At one point, times became hard for him in Rathnir as he lacked the same resources he could afford back in Eldham. During his mining excursions he was contacted by a person known as Jevilei with an all too familiar offer; he shall be given riches if he agrees to join his mercenary group, though it was quite clear it is actually a mob. And unlike the Blitzian Mafia, the people here are more expecting of his cooperation. In need, he ended up accepting, despite his chagrin. There he would learn that he actually joined the Karteki Mob, people he once saw as nothing but warmongerers and zealots. He was prepared to just leave then and there when...

Forming Mentorship (280 TE, Oct 22 2023)
He didn't, for this mob offered him something far more than the Blitzian Mafia ever gave him, actual mentorship. Here he was given a surprising amount of attention, being thought to further hone his skills in actually fighting. While he remained the weakest of the group, there was no denying he was growing in strength. In particular, he found himself looking up to the other members, finding a camaraderie he couldn't have expected in folks he once viewed as barbaric. He ended up not leaving for obvious reasons.

Styria Day (280 TE, Oct 22 2023)
Miliu was present during Styria Day, celebrating the founding of one of Rathnir's Simulami cities. This was Miliu's first step into Rathnirian Seigi politics and attempted to gain more friends in this side of the Simulami nation. He spent most of this time getting blackout drunk however as it had been in most of his Simulami gatherings, and he had to be escorted home early.

Monster Hunt (280 TE, Oct 22 2023)
During his time with the Karteki Mob, he was introduced to other folks from Kartek. He chose not to swear loyalty to the nation itself however though he agreed to help his new mob friends and that he shall be pledging his sword to whatever his friends chooses to fight for.

His don however, Jevilei, ended up becoming the bridge that led him to Watek Wawanate another town that happened to also be connected to the Lore Guild he is a part of. Here he learned of their growing Monster Hunting industry, which he accepted. Taking up a residence here, he joined as well as take employment as a builder in the lands. Yet another aveneu for his business.

A Seigi Wedding (280 TE, Oct 23 2023)
After getting praise by Brutus whom told him he is now a trusted citizen of Seigi, he couldn't quite contain his excitement as this led to his invitation to his current mayor's wedding. As all Seigi gatherings at this point, this grew to be quite a mess of sorts, where all the drunken guests including Miliu began fist fighting each other on the streets. At some point, their fighting briefly halts due to Death apearing and also started fist fighting with one of the mortals. Miliu awoke the next day on the steps of Cherusalem with a massive hangover.

The beginning of madness (280 TE, Oct 23 2023)
Unbeknownst to him, a simple prank from his king back in Aurara will lead to him spiraling that day. He sees shulk-esque black splotches growing out of his walls, the sight making him panic. The condition snaked up his arm as if feeding into his anxieties. Before he could cry, he managed to rip the spots on his walls, realizing it was nothing more but harmless mess, nothing related to. Still, he asked his king not to do it again. It being clear now that whatever is happening to him.

A family, found (281 TE, Oct 25 2023)
During his travels in Rathnir, he was going about his day, fishing in the Fish Hub where he would meet the first love of his life. Zetilia was the Cihuacoatl of Hiarllii, and unexpectably, they hit it off despite him believing he is a mere lowly commoner. He followed her to Hiarllii where he ended up proposing at some point in a way that's sudden even for him, mostly during jokes and a bout of nervousness around her. Surprisingly, she accepted.

As news broke out about him being engaged to the noble, he ended up meeting somebody that he never expected. Lucius Prolcan I of the Kingdom of Greater Prolings recognized him despite his... differing looks. Recognizing his own son, Miliu is confronted with knowledge of his real heritage which flipped everything on its head for him. He was taken to this new kingdom where he learned of his origins and his responsibilities. It turned out, he is in need to stay in Rathnir for even longer than he anticipated.

His Own Wedding (281 TE, Oct 26 2023)
He was married in the Snydiia Cathedral right after a massive raid and defense for the city. Miliu only learned of it as he goes to his celebration. Apparently, the town was raided by Boulderists in the name of "purging heretics". This only greatly angered Miliu further, with him believing Boulderists are all Emen worshipers bent on burning down everyone they do not agree with. This only fuel's Miliu's beliefs that they're heretics.

Nonetheless, the wedding commenced and Miliu was walked down the aisle by his father, Lucius Proclan I. Due to a history between him and Zetilla it was only slightly awkward. Joking whispers by his dad to kill his bride was ignored. The wedding proceeded and they underwent the Hiarlliian tradition of fist fighting your spouse in a ring. Miliu was felled by the might of Zetilla alas.

The day went by and Zetilla needed to leave to handle the tensions between Boulderists and Hiarilliians. Miliu bid his wife goodbye with a final kiss, before joining his father to Prolings to be shown the kingdom he might possibly inherit one day.

To Turn Back (281 TE, Oct 26 2023)
Due to issues with one of the members supposedly marrying a war criminal, all YKR personnel were ordered to turn away from the Blitzian Mafia. Miliu reluctantly did, also finding himself losing trust with the current Don due to what Miliu perceives as an aggressive bid for power. Still, he felt enough loyalty to Kilivaria that he stayed, taking the time to pledge allegiance to its king should he choose to continue working for the crime family still. It was the closest compromise Miliu found. If possible, he asked to move away from citizen duties to possibly taking a more diplomatic role between the smaller nations.

Further Diplomacies (281 TE, Oct 26 2023)
With newfound political involvement due to his bloodline, Miliu got to work with his biggest ambitions, spreading the influence of Aurara and the church of Makerism across the two worlds. Solidifying his diplomat role in Kilivaria, Miliu established connections to one of the nations whom once asked his citizenship before, Imperial Aristios, which he had finally joined after very briefly choosing not to go through with it prior due to other loyalties. Now he chose to go forward, establishing himself in that nation quick. He goes further however, becoming a diplomat in Falholt after hearing of the occultist activities happening there. Despite being mildly perturbed out by its inhabitants, he established good connections, and went back to Aurara, satisfied.

He proceeds to ask his king for the possibilities of setting up an embassy for this reason, to establish further relations with other countries. Miliu takes a moment then to look back, from starting out as a criminal who hates the world and its people, to a man of great renown now. He is not quite sure if he should feel satisfied just yet.

Wars all around (281 TE, Oct 27 2023)
It was a time or great chaos. Several of Miliu's alliances are now starting to clash which does put a lot of pressure to his loyalties. In particular, Aristios just recently finished its civil war but was wrapped up in a brand new war declaration at that time, meanwhile the issues with the Boulderists and Hiarllii goes forward with a counter raid being called, Prolings meanwhile is involved in a war against Centaris, his needs to still follow his loyalties to the Karteki Mob, and finally, Yimmu-Audal, a close ally of the GCL still has its conflicts that Miliu thought might blow in their faces soon. Overall, his responsibilities are being put to its limits and Miliu has to choose where bis blade shall be tossed to at almost every given moment.

Fish Hub Incident (281 TE, Oct 27 2023)
He was also very briefly injured in Fish Hub, a popular fishing destination in Rathnir, due to very dumb reasons. Particularly, him doing a dare to steal the fish hub puffer fishes and he was set on fire as a result. He was fine afterwards however.

Nether Liberation (280-282 TE, Oct 23-28 2023)
Further Adventurer's Guild jobs continue, this time, with a request from the fellow imp guildmate, Dragonk. Apparently his home, the Nether have been taken over, and he chose to ask the guild for assistance in its liberation. With senior adventurer Miguel, the cat Koka, and the mad druid Mattatrix, the group venture forth in their nether excursion.

There, Miliu witnessed the group meet a new person only called Jason Winchester who was locked in a nether fortress. There they learned he was stuck there after he had stopped an evil god by sealing them inside him and falling into "hell". He provided help in their excursion, before Miliu witnessed them slaughtering zombie piglins. They ended up sparring the normal Piglins before going their way.

New Paths Paved and Left (282 TE, Oct 28 2023)
In his quest for further diplomacy, he had since started leaving and joining new nations where he may be more active in. He left with parting promises to Water Wawanate and settled into Lacdechant in Aristios. His diplomatic works continue on swiftly with his allegiances evolving. Notably, he also recently had talks with Twin Dragon worshipers in Eldham which he had passing familiarity on due to his step mother. His nobility is starting to pay him with enough benefits.

Fishing Trip (282 TE, Oct 28 2023)
As he continued to establish himself in Eldham meanwhile, his father took him out to fishing alongside his mom. The family soon settled with fishing for gunpowder, him exchanging fishing rods with his old man, strengthening their bonds. He had further learned the tips and tricks in the fishing arming himself more money than he even expected in Rathnir. He got to learn more about them as well, getting a picture of his mom to show to his son which he did later. He finally met her and she actually lived up to the hype.

First Encounter of the Swarm-kind (282 TE, Oct 28 2023)
It was nearing spooky season when he first encountered them. On a routine business trip, Miliu was knocked out cold and dragged under the depths of the earth, onto the lands of the Overnind. He begged for his life, too fearful to die, but he did not died. He couldn't. He awoke, his arm severed... but still, he sees it, chitinous growths growing from where the void once was. He goes forward, investigating what the heck is going on with him. But it calls, it speaks of hope, how he doesn't have to truly "die". Maybe if he just... confront his assailants he will be one, he will be free..? He kicks the thought far back onto his mind, bearing his new claws and walking away.

Unknown to him, he may have had just survived his first near death experience that night. With part of his arm having been devoured, his DNA have been taken. A part of him only barely surviving due to the void he had hated so much. That part will grow into its own thing, with him only barely connected to the swarmling born from him.

His other half.

Karteki Matters (282 TE, Oct 28 2023)
A few months after his departure from the Blitzian Mafia, his criminal leanings have started to focus further in Kartek. Here he's gained citizenship in Novograd and pledges to help their allies regardless of their would be leanings. As such, he took on the role of supporting a country called The Republic of Novia, a long standing ally of his mob family, more so out of loyalty to Jevilei and his crew than anything overall.

Cúamwan Tour (282 TE, Oct 28 2023)
Spurred by his family's connections with the religion of Twin Dragon, Miliu joined a tour for the small nation of Cúamwan where followers of the different faith are around. Still not having any true powers in his nations, Miliu just resolved to establish good relations with them first before anything truly specific. The people there were indeed kind and had shown Miliu around their fledgling nation. And he shall return once he is more established, he guaranteed.

Simulami National Meeting (282 TE, Oct 29 2023)
The annual national meet for the nation of Simulami has commenced with a return to old traditions and new innovations for the whole empire. Besides the general stuff such as the coming of Stoneworks during the meet and the institution of the governor role once again, Miliu heard of an issue with the Soleannen allies of the empire. This is of great conflict with Miliu however, being incredibly loyal to his Simulami people, but also being forced to hide his true allegiances to the Makerist church simply to not be persecuted in that same nation.

To save face, he pledged loyalty in the coming wars to protect the Simulami interests, but fears what this means for his beloved church overall.

Vampiric Crisis (280-282 TE, Oct 24-30 2023)
Despite not being native to the region, Miliu heard of the crisis going on in Zamotz, in several towns and specifically the city of Dasana. Apparently, the place had been taken over by a cult of the near extinct Yoakumaen vampires by its leader, Biuh Forsvollr. Rather foolishly, Miliu set out to confront the vampiric king, with the intent to put a stop to whom Miliu perceived to be a great evil.

Upon hearing of his plight however as being the last of his kind, desperate for a home for his people, Miliu couldn't help but feel unsure empathy towards the man. He was reminded of the legends of where his own people came from, through the heritage his father had recently thought him. He tried to appeal to their races' similar plights, but in the end, Miliu's own stubborness led to him being unable to fully convince Biuh.

Saying he could not support the vampire, he tried to run, even trying to swim away to prevent being chased, knowing the vampiric weakness to water. Yet despite getting heavily injured himself, Biuh chased after him and took him down in a fight on Dasana's waters.

He was then captured and thrown into the Dasana cells where he would starve for a bit due in part to him pissing off Biuh. It was only due to a creepy kid calling herself Annie Forsvollr did he managed to not starve to death. Speaking with her gave him further insight onto the vampire whom had him captured, and their plans for him should they win the war.

Finally, Dasana does indeed fall, the vampires winning and establishing the small country of Ehia in its place. Miliu finally breaks and was approached by a mysterious woman called Julia. She had him forced to sign a contract with her or else perish. Miliu ended up doing so, giving herself to the new rulers of this nation.

Swarm-o-Ween (282 TE, Oct 31 2023)
Miliu dreamed that night, being in a gathering of Swarmlings exploring and victimizing more people during Halloween. His memories are fuzzy in regards to the details, though he did hear whispers in his brain referring to... him? Somebody like him? He isn't sure, though what he does know is his reformed arm was aching that day, vibrating like it is being called somewhere. A part of him was feeling nothing but joy however and he is unsure what to make of that.

Halloween was buzzing throughout Eldham and Rathnir however, and Miliu took to bed just as he hears that Umakwa was apparently taken over by frogs. He was unable to investigate further however.

Normal Tavern Night (283 TE, Nov 1 2023)
For a while, Miliu was once again enjoying just being able to travel around with seemingly no more worries about his arm killing him. The lack of void properties in his new insectoid arm seemed like he's finally having a great day. Thus, he joined a couple of his GCL friends in a tavern night in the country of Redspire where they are greeted with an unnervingly peppy bartender.

The place was odd, almost like it was built just as suddenly, like it just popped out of a hole. Wesllyn questioned what is up with the plants to which Dragonk answered that it's clearly nether plants, comforting the nether local. Miliu didn't partook in much alcohol, only listening to the bartender prattle about this bar and why the earlier one was closed. And that apparently, there are a few thousands of organisms watching them all, as per some sort of government experimentation.

And before Miliu knows it, the bartender set up TNT and exploded the place with them in it. He was injured and black goop started falling from his wound. In his absolute horror, Miliu realizes it.

That his nightmare isn't over.

He was rushed to be given medical attention.

Huitca, Restored (283 TE, Oct 31-Nov 3 2023)
Several stuff occurred where Miliu is only somewhat involved in during this time. One is the war against Centaris that caused a revival of the Huitca Federation by RedFireRex. Miliu was supposed to be in the battlefront to support his people in Prolings and their allies in Ummarnu but Centaris ended up surrendering fast, with the news being told to him by his father who left to spy on their enemies. Miliu was later interviewed in the matter, speaking positively of what occurred as overall good for Rathnir.

During this time, the Huitcan Guilds came back due to the country's rebirth which Miliu took a place on. In a few days, Miliu was involved in a couple Huitcan related guild tasks before hearing of news that a government official was lost in the forest to be taken by a skinwalker. Miliu listened as further investigations occured.

Yimmu-Audal's Fall (283 TE, Nov 2 2023)
At this time Miliu hears the deeply allied nation to GCL, Yimmu-Audal, the Eternal Empire, has finally collapsed. His Prolings bretheren and father celebrated due to the historic animosity between them and his family, but part of Miliu ached for the folks they are close to in the GCL, as it was the equivalent to losing a parent to them. GCL also suffered a lot due to this Charm-Audalad War, and thus had Miliu's support. Once again, his loyalties were tested between his familial nation and the first to give him a place in Rathnir.

A New Era for the Church (283 TE, Nov 3 2023)
The church's election for the new pontifex was concluded with the new head, Pontifex E-Rex, establishing a new Holy Order to protect the faith militaristic from heretics. Miliu joined there, while also dealing with his new test to possibly become Bishop of Romanus. Here, his questions about his faith grew as he is forced to deal with growing racist tensions in the church as a Bishop seems to come to a conclusion that human adjacent races might be corrupted. Miliu is most definitely against this, being a race non human in of himself as well as having family and friends who aren't. He fears of this influence, the need to gain more power in the church to stop it growing in him.

Dark nights in Gaular (284 TE, Nov 4 2023)
Whilst in his normal trips in Gaular, Miliu was tasked alongside the citizens and other members of the Adventurer's Guild to check on a person who is supposed to travel with building materials for the city. Miliu did just that, only to learn alongside the others that the man had been killed whilst traveling with a certain artifact. A murder investigation had begun.

Miliu wasn't of much use, not being an amazing investigator himself, but soon they had pieced together what might have happened. Supposedly, the man was attacked by cultists and one of his men was forced to defend himself using an artifact. That artifact took over that man's mind and led him to a killing spree that reached one of GCL's towns. Miliu paid his respects before the group procured the artifact, careful not to touch it. One of the investigators, Riegen, insisted on keeping the artifacts for safe keeping, which Miliu and some others were opposed of. In the end, they only reported to Sonicspark and couldn't convince the others that that isn't a good idea in his eyes.

First Mass and Pilgrimage (284 TE, Nov 6 2023)
As the spread of the Makerist beliefs continued, Miliu was given the privelage of joining a mass done at currently what was only the opening of what would become one of if not the biggest church in Eldham. Here, the young abbot first experienced being on the audience as the word of GONF is spread, alongside their villager based rituals. Here, Miliu agrees to join a pilgramage to be done in pagan nations, specifically the Boulderovs whom seem to dislike the Makerist folks. Miliu is warned of this being dangerous, and yet, he went along with it, not caring for his safety.

Isolation and the Guilden Hand (284 TE, Nov 6 2023)
At some point, the YKR had a period of restructioring not to be shared here due to confidentiality. What was known is that Miliu and a few others were put on the force called the Guilden Hand which he gladly accepted, knowing full well being in such a dangerous taskforce might kill him.

Goodbye to his son (284 TE, Nov 6 2023)
During this time, he felt things have gotten worse enough that he had to do it. His arm calls to him like a voice through his dreams. At this point he gave his children mythical pickaxes handed down to him by his own father. His son, Adequate, seems to have been having trouble with a certain skull mask though he wasn't able to elaborate upon it. Instead, he took Iku in his first trip into Rathnir where he brings his son to Prolian to meet his granddad, Lucian. The three bonded over gunpowder fishing and so on.

He gave Iku a sense of structure, a possible new venture once Miliu passed. With a tap on his shoulder, Miliu said what he thought would be his goodbye. And so he left without looking back.

A Sacrifice for Immortality (284 TE, Nov 6, 2023)
This time, he had listened to his arm. Following his connections with the swarm through his missing limb, Miliu heeded its call before reaching the Overmind at the center of swarm territory. There, he would learn the reason for the strange dreams and visions he's been having.

It turns out, he had managed to flee with his life previously only because the void virus inside him protected its host. It lashed out against the ant like abominations trying to devour him. But, because of the swarmlings' fast evolution and previous consumption of void material in the past, the damage was minimal. However, this did meant that with Miliu's DNA, a swarmling have been incubated, ready to be born. The only thing the swarmling needs is the rest of Miliu's body for consumption, and he shall be fully born.

But while the swarm expected to need to kidnap Miliu at some point, they didn't expect Miliu to literally waltz in there. Questioning him, Miliu gave a simple answer;

He wishes to survive.

He offers himself to the swarm in exchange for possible immortality. He knew that at some point the void will just end up killing him anyways, and he still has a lot to live for. So instead, he thought that maybe he could live on as a swarmling. Maybe, just maybe, his faith in GONF will miraculously keep his mind somewhat intact for more years. And so he went for it, sacrificing his life to finally be reborn, a possible new start.

Swarmiliu emerged from his egg, taking the oath, before throwing what's left of Miliu into the lava pits below.

This is his first death, and Clone number one is awoken.

Rebirth (287 TE, Nov 8 2023)
It didn't took long for Miliu's first clone to get his bearings. While Swarmiliu seems to have shown himself in other places while the Clone is getting his bearings, the Clone had taken Miliu's identity as was planned. As such, he took to warning people, especially the YKR, about an imposter. He doesn't fully understand at this time how he knew, but besides hearing of the look alike from Aurara, the connection his arm once had with the swarmling version of himself was still present. He can still hear the Overmind speaking through Swarmiliu, but quite miraculously, the words are dulled by the familiar voice of Julia in his mind. Perhaphs his contract with her back in Ehia is keeping himself from becoming an Overmind drone.

The Time of Chaos, The Time for Hiding (287-291 TE, Nov 8 - 27 2023)
It was a tumultuous era for both Eldham and Rathnir at that point. Conflict started popping up against Simulami, Kilivaria, Prolings and so on just when Miliu went with Biuh for his hellish quest. At this time, only Swarmiliu is able to see it all, and in his starting to develop brain, what he witnessed was nothing short of horrifying. He saw the Gods go down and smite people whom took it too far during the wars, leading to the mass deaths of the offending heretics. Immediately, the swarmling went into hiding, fearful of the chaos that was occuring.

He emerged only a few years later, passively watching the original Miliu's life go forward without him. He even lost his stepmother who was remarried while his father took a different bride. A major empire collapsed soon afterwards, and now Swarmiliu, not wanting to let Miliu's friends and family forget about him, rejoined back into society, fully taking on Miliu's life for both their sakes. If only Miliu actually understood that.

Groundhog Day (??? TE, ??? ?? 20??)
He was involved as one of the second batches that got stuck in a timeloop per YKR research. It is unknown how he got caught in it and how many times he "died" in that hellscape. His own memories of the matter blurry, though remaining trauma clearly remained.

Hellish Excursion (287 TE - ??? TE, Nov 8 - ?? 2023)
His struggle to regain his life was put on halt as Miliu followed Biuh, his master, to Hell in his attempts to take over this plane of existence. Miliu's frustrations about his weakness as a mere clone while a swarm powered impostor exists only leading him to a near boiling point, which led to a confrontation between him and his swarm self that only led to his defeat. He had crawled back to Biuh that day, proclaiming his hatred for himself which led him to this mess. Julia however, refused to let him die, giving him the option of possible immortality to combat his doppelganger should he succeed in helping with Biuh's ambitions. With broken spirits, he accepted.

He had since traveled through hell with his knowledge about the realm somewhat based on his previous incursion back with the Adventurer's Guild, but that only led him in circles. It led him to an unnecessary fight against demonic knights that left him battered and injured, only for him to be saved last minute by Annie who helped him rejoin the army.

Current List of Deaths and Revivals

 * Groundhog Day Loop - Unverifiable, possibly multiple times.
 * Sacrifice to the Overmind - First death (Nov 06 2023). Sacrificed himself to the Overmind in an attempt to extend his life as part of the swarm. Was devoured, with his remains thrown by Swarmiliu into the lava. Lost several days of memories as consequences.

Works and Writings
The Disciple's Wanderings - His first journal of his first quest for the Adventurer's Guild, contains many info on Rathnir roads and travel destinations. A first of a possible series.

Tell Tall Tales - His entry for the Seigi book writing competition, deemed to be a fictionalized anecdote of one of his travels.

Ikuzombie Proclan-Hapaqalchi
Miliu's first friend who later developed a fatherly relationship with him, Iku is a somewhat naive but very spirited undead that Miliu found buried underground during his first days in the server. In his almost childlike view of the world, Iku first needed Miliu to essentially raise him like his own, which the wanderer obliged. As time went on however, Iku grew in his own independence, later opening a bar in Aurara on his own. While they both greatly care for one another, they are seen having some growing tensions, particularly due to Miliu's faith and Iku's more voidist aligned atheism.

Adequate Proclan-Hapaqalchi
A young nomad whom Miliu picked up during Aurara's move to the lands close to Defiant Valoore. Really great with kids, it didn't took long for Miliu to officially adopt the youngling due to him reminding him of himself when he was younger. Despite some small protests, Adequate chose to keep his name even though Miliu mentioned it might have negative connotations. Still, Miliu is the one to help him settle into civilization, before he also started growing independent from Miliu, forging alliances in other countries himself. This, Miliu allowed, especially after learning they're both of nobility now, with him encouraging his son to socialize and gain further allies as Miliu's ambitions grow.

Zetilla Boude Hapaqalchi
Miliu's first wife and a well known politician in Hiarllii. The two met whilst Miliu was on a fishing trip to Rathnir, and they hit it off quite quickly, the marriage coming in faster than Miliu thought he'd be. He deeply respects her, especially after Miliu was beaten by her during the Hiarilliian tradition of ritual combat between newlyweds. Admittedly however, Miliu was intimidated by her and doesn't frequently talk to her in fear he is messing with her current businesses. So far, Miliu hasn't met her other children yet, though Miliu has stated she would love to, and would treat them as he does his own.

Lucius Prolcan I
His biological father whom he just very recently was reunited with and met. The man was quick to becoming a legitimately good parent to Miliu far better than the other parental figures he had before him. So far he was shown his lands and thought his culture, which Miliu is at hard work attempting to learn in order to make him proud. Overall, their relationship seems solid, and his influence led Miliu to letting his ambitions grow further. He has not met his other parent however, though he is quoted saying he's looking forward to it based on everything he's heard about her.

Millie D. Sullivan
The person who stole him from his parents. Millie and him had a tumultuous relationship with each other. Miliu doesn't fully hate her but she did left on a sour note as Miliu straight up abandoned her in Rathnir, and them haven't reunited since. Miliu wonders if she hates him for what she did, though he doesn't regret leaving in the first place. Still, Miliu had kept his name based on her. She currently resides in Lakkos and Chief of Police, and their reunion might come soon should Miliu choose to reconnect with her.

Abilities

 * GONF's Holy Magic / Enchantment Magic - Either due to his faith in G0NF or because of some latent magical abilities he wasn't able to refine in his youth, Miliu is a capable enchanter. He posseses Magic that coats physical objects or bodies to enhance them, which comes off in vibrant purplish light. He was shown employing this the most in his smithing projects. He says his creations are blessed by the Maker, though it depends on interpretation whether or not that is true.


 * Elemental Magic (Ice) - During his training with further divination techniques, he learned to since use his magic to focus on attempting to walk on water so he may traverse farther more easily. This resulted in him naturally learning ice magic, though it seems to only be based on his legs so far. He can produce and only mildly control ice in a small radius he's standing on. He also views this as less his own magic and more of GONF's blessings.
 * Elemental Magic (Fire) - Unlike the other two, Miliu did legitimately learn he can produce fire with his own inherent magical properties. This is learned after reuniting with his birth father and meeting fellow lhûren. This is the art of breating fire then using your magic to have some control over this produced flame. So far, he hasn't successfully done a proper flamethrower yet, though he is learning.

Trivia

 * This article went into several revisions, most notable being Miliu was supposed to be Draaken instead of Lhûren and was 122 years old. This is rewritten to more fit Lucius' family tree.
 * Miliu is a somewhat protected character in that every canon death can be sort of nullified with clones, but every death shall always still have major consequences in his storyline. A true death is also a big possibility depending on what occurs in the server that may call for it. This is done not to powergame and more to stay playing in the server even out of character. This was inspired by Dalatra Mosulia and how the character kept appearing despite her dramatic canonical death.
 * Consequences of death include but are not limited to: loss of memories, loss of major standings in any faction deemed appropriate, some sort of permanent scar both physical and psychological, etc.
 * Currently, Miliu had canonically died once verifiably, as he might've died multiple times in the timeloop already.
 * Miliu is canonically biromantic, polyamorous, and asexual though he's fine with having biological children.
 * Miliu is also canonically born assigned female at birth, but with magic, is able to transition when he reached 18.
