John P. Rex

John P. Rex, aka Fengáran Rex I of Ryzan or Grand Master Rex, is a Celestial Elf born in Volkoregrod on May 16th 2021. He was the son of John P. G. Rex, the founder of RIBC.

Backstory
He was introduced to Aurlunoren culture at a young age, as his mother made sure that he knew everything she knew and more, so he could grow up to be a wise man. However, when he was 10, his mother disappeared. It was later discovered that she had been captured and sent to a war camp, where she had been executed a week later. He watched as his father descended into madness, often overhearing his father crying in the garden at his mother's grave. By the time John P. Rex was 16, John P. G. Rex had gone mentally insane, and in a desperate attempt to save his father's life, he signed his father up for the military, in hopes that they would provide him with the care he needed. This would not be the case.

Bardonian Occupation, Grief and Return to His Roots
On June 24th 2021, Bardonia launched an attack on Ryzan, conquering it and killing many of it's people. Among those killed was John P. G. Rex, who died age 42 after being captured and taken as a prisoner of war, before being executed in the Bardonian Executions, alongside 9 of his compatriots, who all died for the purpose of sending a message. On June 26th 2021, after hearing of the news, an 18 year old John P. Rex went into mourning, and after both of his parents had been killed in war camps, he feared he might be next. So after burying his father next to his grandfather, Jerimiah Rex or Wairua Wehe, he fled to Aurlunor on June 30th 2021 in a merchant ship as a stowaway. He arrived in Quacomar from Volkoregrod the same day, and after living in poverty on the streets for a day, he was taken to Lhumar to be a servant builder.

Rising through Aurlunoren society
Shortly after he arrived in Lhumar, he met Nori, who was kind and welcomed him to the city. His first mark on Aurlunor was a series of memes made about John dancing to Straight Outta the Peak by BWA outside the old Twin Dragon Temple in Lhumar before it was destroyed. Afterwards, he met the Velereth and was granted citizenship in the Velande and the cities of Lhûmar and Talhunar. John pursued and turned down multiple jobs of power in the Velande, however did not take up any for a long time.

Return to Ryzan, Rise to Power and Grand Discoveries
Shortly after the Allium-Coalition War and Ryzani independence, John returned to Ryzan with the plan to consolidate the power that his family once held over the state, and he soon got that opportunity when he took control of the Ryzan First party from Svletanna Korola and merged with the Unionist Party to create the Ryzani Democratic Party, which splintered the vote and created chaos in Ryzan, allowing him to rise further in power through the media, and making himself more of a household name via surveys. In the meantime, he found a pastime in palaeontology, spending many summers doing digs in the Ardol Formation and other dig sites along the Phagosian coast and the Aurlunoren mainland. After the Second Ryzani Civil War, John was identified by Aurlunor as the Fengáran (Celestial King In Exile) of Ryzan, as he fled to Aurlunor on the fear that the Greater Syltor Empire would attack him. He was collected by the army and taken to Lhumar, where he was made Fengáran Rex I of Ryzan.
