Description
Clarky Cat is a 200 and something year old gnome, wearing a blue robe, white shirt, blue trousers, and thick black boots. He still wears and maintains his crown, even though his days of being a monarch are long behind him. When Phoenia was going under reforms including trying to sell off Lutumshire prior to Clarky's declaration of independence, they changed from a monarchy (Which Clarky was in favor of) to a republic. Because of this, Clarky has an ill view of republics and other democratic systems, and is a large fan of monarchies and diarchies.

The other stuff
He was involved in 4 failed mining operations for gold, and tried to make a living off of making cheese a couple of times before moving to Phoenia, where he established Lutumshire in a desert devoid of life where he could only eat berries, founded Berrism, moved lutumshire to a forest, declared independence from Phoenia after they tried to sell off his land, gained a large sum of land from Phoenia that they were going to sell, grew the town into a bustling city and then nation of 4 cities, and established the foundations for the future of the nation. However, the times of peace and first prosperity of the nation was short lived. The Phoenix Crises crippled Clarky Cats mind, the nation that he had raised and nurtured, taken away in a matter of hours. All his time and effort into making the country what it was, gone. The journey away from his homeland was enough to crack at the mind of the weak willed, but it was the destination the destroyed Clarky Cat. He spent all of his [REDACTED], from walking in his fortress home at Lutumshire, to crawling in [REDACTED]. It was a drastic change and the only thing the kept him and his comrades moving every day was their burning hate for the Phoenians who took their homes. Many people believe this was the turning point where Clarky Cat went insane. After the crisis was resolved, he stepped down after becoming far too crackers due to the McClarky Curse. This made his son, Blue Arbiter, the new monarch of Lutum. Blue Arbiter set the entire future of the country on its course before he too, was broken by the mcclarky curse and stepped down, leaving LT incharge. After his son stepped down, Clarky Cat's McClarky curse worsened. After his condition plummeted, Clarky left the country and went into isolation for a month, it is still unknown where he went or what he did, when questioned on the fact, he just replies something along the lines of "I was thinking for a bit...". When Clarky returned, the nation had completely changed. It had formed with the country of Visio into the country of vespera. Clarky fell into a pit of alcoholism (although he already.. enjoyed alcohol before hand) and solitude locked up in his fortress. He now stays quiet most of the time, only speaking to close friends from Lutum and family, only rarely speaking to anyone else. He longs to get help and to be saved from his downward spiral, but he alone cannot help himself, and the lack of doctors, let alone therapists in vespera doesnt help much. He now resorts to walking around, often looking confused, or paranoid. When not in his castle, he can be seen buying alcohol bottles in the cafes and bars of Lutumshire, or walking aimlessly through the maze that is the sewers. Clarky has truly taken a fall from grace, once a prideful king, now a lowly poor alcohol addicted citizen of Vespera. He still holds some resemblance of respect from the oldest of Lutum veterans, but from newer people, and merchants, he is just scene as a mad drunkard hobo. This obviously took more of a toll on his mental health ontop of the McClarky curse, and he seems to be getting sadder day by day, plummeting further down his mental spiral.

Around June, the construction of a therapy office was announced. The lack of mental help had not helped Clarky with his mental instability, so to hear that there was one being built was good news to Clarky and many other citizens (exluding Sepet). After the building was completed, Clarky was led over. The hospital looked like a cellar from the exterior, hidden behind the blacksmith of Lutumshire. When Clarky walked down the stairs, he was horrified. There was blood coating the floor and a pressure plate in the middle of the room. Clarky turned to leave but was blocked by Nova, now wearing full diamond armor, forcing him onto the pressure pad. As soon as the pressure pad was touched, walls shot out from the floor, trapping Clarky within. Clarky scrambled to try and escape, but he knew that even if he did, he would be killed by Nova anyway. Clarky then tried to break out, causing Nova to pull a lever, crushing Clarky into the floor, causing him agonizing pain. He tried to scream for help but nobody could hear him in the basement. Clarky was then beaten and tortured until he finally escaped, mining directly down and luckily landing in a cave system which was connected to the huge stripmines under Lutumshire. Clarky ran for his life. He eventually surfaced, still being chased by Nova. He used his secret systems of tunnels but they were of no help either. Eventually he drank crimson wine which made him float away and finally escape from Nova.. This has caused Clarky to develop trust issues and constant paranoia but also a fear and hatred for therapists. Clarky now cannot get the help he desperately needs because of this fear. He also stays away from Nova now.

Cats
After the events of the therapy room, Clarky was at his lowest mental point. He was alone for most of his time, and now constantly paranoid. He eventually learned that Ember had pet cats, and so he begged for a kitten. Eventually, he got a small jellie cat kitten which he called Gubo. Clarky loved Gubo, designating an entire room of his house just for the kitten. This, at the time of writing, seems to be the start of Clarkies mental recovery. Gubo died a couple days later, and a couple days after that, he was replaced by Goobert the cat. Goobert was given to Clarky as a kitten. Goobert was a tabby kitten who has now replaced Gubo and taken over his room.

Berrism
He was one of 3 founders of (along with 36reaper and Un_Sabroso_huevo) Berrism, a religion worshiping the berry god known as "Da Berry" who is known for giving food to those who are hungry. Whilst the 3 were in a desert, trying to establish their first town, they had a severe lack of food, only living off of berries. The berries speaking to Un_Sabroso_huevo has been called a hallucination due to off berries by critics, although the true followers believe it was a message from Da Berry himself.
