Kim Astaseul

Kim Astaseul, also known as KimIsntHere in-game, is a citizen and soldier in the United Provinces of Carvinia, his main nation, and lives in a house in his second nation, the Archduchy of Borhammar. Kim is the son of Fury Astaseul and Annt Havardr, and has a stepmom named Peachy.

Kim is mostly known to be seen running around, or just plainly doing nothing unless he has an idea. Most of the times, however, he can be seen in Borhammar - either exploring the place or talking with family, but if he's in Carvinia, you mostly seem him running around and farming. He doesn't have a lot to do in Carvinia, since he isn't really given much to do.

Early Years
Don't ask if Kim knows where he was born. Kim wouldn't have a response. At all. He doesn't even remember his birth place himself. And with his parents... well, you might as well not even try to ask the question either. Lots of complications with it, right?

But there was one thing he remembered when he opened his eyes: Waking up on land, coughing out water. Somehow, he had managed get out of the water and found land, which was surprising for himself. He was around 5 years old, so remembering doing that was impressive. And here's where Kim's story begins.

Beginning Lands
The land he had gotten himself on before he drowned seemed to be territory of a nation. He didn't know what it was called though. He found sticks from leaves, and found 4 pieces of wood somebody had left. Kim combined them together to make himself an axe. He smiled, and was proud of what he created. Then he looked at the last piece of wood, and felt curious on what he could do. Kim frowned, and then got himself to work, and made a button. A small wood button he could use to play with. Of course, he felt as if this wasn't something he could use for important stuff, but he still felt happy with it. He decided that he would try to make something new.

Kim was now 6. He was planning on making a small little house, or maybe a cave, but then ultimately decided, Maybe it would be a very bad idea trying to do this. He abandoned his plans and decided to keep roaming around. And time decided to go pretty fast, because he soon turned 7.

Exploration
Quickly enough, Kim soon decided to go travelling around, so he got some logs and turned them into wood. He started building, and soon enough, made himself a boat. Kim got into the boat, and with one look behind him, he sailed off. There were a lot of places he passed by, and he loved seeing the buildings and architecture that he saw. It amazed him, and hoped that he would perhaps find a small nation (or big, he didn't mind) that had these types of buildings. He got out of his daze, however, when he realized his boat had crashed. He tried getting back on, but realized that the boat no longer functioned. He sighed, and decided to start walking until he found some more materials to make a new boat.

He started getting tired, which was bad since he needed to eat. But he barely had any food on him too, making it a big concern for Kim. He saw a sign that was on the road, and read, "Sahra Porte". Kim frowned, knowing that he was now in a town, but didn't know what nation he was in. He went to explore around the town, and saw somebody. He wanted to try and avoid them, thinking that they would see Kim as something else other than an explorer. But Kim was seen, and he panicked.

Before he could run, the person went over to him, and introduced himself as Sxftblur, a citizen of the Kingdom of Councils, and asked if he wanted a small tour of the place. Kim hesitated before saying sure, and walked around the town with Blur. He liked the design of the place, and thought, I might as well stay here. But he didn't know if that was possible, so he didn't ask. He said thanks, and was expecting to be kicked out of the place, but Blur said, "You want to stay?" Kim shrugged, and accepted. Kim quickly became friends with Blur.

Kim stayed for around a week. In that time, he had just stayed near Blur, since he didn't know his way around to well, or just explored a bit more of the town. But then he ended up having different plans to staying in KOC.

Clockist's Appearence
Kim was running around near the coast when he saw a small group of people passing by. He felt curious, and with small hesitation, head over to them. He asked if they were lost, or if they needed a place to stay at, but they said no, and responded saying that they were part of a new religion they had made called Clockism. Kim then asked if they were recruiting. The leader looked at him straight in the eyes, and said, "Yeah, we are. We're heading to Gertonia right now so that we can try to get land. Want to join?"

Kim almost said yes, but then had different thoughts circling his head. Would he be able to stay in KOC? Was it time for him to explore again? He didn't want to leave behind his newly made friend(s), but then decided, I could come back, maybe this is just a temporary thing. So he accepted the request and went with them. Kim didn't want to leave anything behind, since he thought he'd be returning soon.

Kim got to the Holy Kingdom of Gertonia with the rest of the group, and almost started exploring the place before they were asked to accept a small invite. Kim did so and then went to explore, but the nation wasn't that big. It just had around 6 buildings, and Kim was able to quickly reach the end of the nation's border. He sighed, and decided that he wouldn't do much.

Then an announcement was made that a war would be happening, and Gertonia was gonna participate. It was a land war, so they needed to get good armor to be able to fight and probably win. The Clockists needed land for the town they wanted to make, so they were going to help out in the war. Kim didn't know what to do to help out, but then was approached by Grey, the leader of the Clockism religion. "You think you can help on getting EXP bottles if you're not too busy?" Grey asked, and Kim nodded.

Kim started gathering EXP bottles, while also fishing since he did need to get as much EXP bottles as he could. There was a cactus farm that was available, so Kim started using it to gather cactuses, cook them, and then get the EXP. He placed all the EXP he managed to gather in a barrel that was available. The same cycle repeated for 4 days, before the news got to him: The enemy had surrendered and Gertonia (along with their allies) won the war. The land was discussed, and then the Clockist's got their land.

Travelling Away
At this point, Kim realized that this was not a temporary thing; this was an actual religion that would happen. He wanted to go back to where he had started. But he didn't know if he should tell the other Clockists about it or just say nothing. After a few minutes of thinking, he decided that he would stay for a while longer. During that time, though, their leader, Grey, was dying. Nobody knew about this though, and the town was starting to be created.

Then the death of the leader happened. Nobody knew what to do since they had no other person to lead, or who was a co-leader. However, there was another group of Clockists that had met the current one. They were most likely gonna take control. During all of this, Kim had gotten out of Gertonia, and made his way to trying to find a nation that his friend led: Carvinia. When the news of Grey got to him, Kim felt bad, but he knew that he didn't feel much remorse since he didn't really talk to the guy too much. He silently whispered, wishing the best to the group of Clockists, and kept going on his way.

Kim almost died a couple of times when going over to Carvinia, yet he somehow survived. But he soon started getting low on food, and realized he had to find the place fast. So, with the best that he could do, he tried his best to not eat too much. He knew it might've been difficult, but he had to keep going. He kept walking or swimming to where he needed to arrive, messing up his directions a couple of time.

He saw a small island in the distance, and he brightened up. He knew this was the location, and realized that it was in the ocean. So, he placed down his boat that he found along the way, and made his way to the island. He got to the docks of the island, and decided to wait around before he told Blur that he made it to Carvinia. When his friend found him on a tree before Kim told him, he was welcomed and was part of Carvinia as a citizen.

He knew that for one thing was that he wouldn't get a house in Carvinia unless he really wanted it. He remembered about his apartment in Gertonia: small yet easily able to get destroyed in a matter of seconds. So, Kim decided that he would just stay in the nation running around without a home there. It was fine with him, and he couldn't care less about what others thought of him not having a home. So, with that, he started growing up into a teen in Carvinia.

Teenage Years
Carvinia for him was an adventure, as he would see the growth of the nation, and see how it gained more population in the nation. Once a while, when new players joined the nation, he sometimes gave them a tour around the nation, but most of the times preferred to keep to himself since he didn't really enjoy socializing with the new players. However, he was more used to socializing with those he mostly knew, but otherwise, was still difficult to have conversations with the new players. When he did have conversations with the new players, it would mostly be him just explaining how the town was, or on what he was doing. Most of the times he would talk with new players would be because of a friend, Blade, who tried to get him more used to socializing.

Kim was farming when he felt something pop up on his shoulder. He looked at it, and realized that flowers were growing on him. He didn't think it'd be too much of a bother, and thought that one of his friends gave him a potion that made flowers grow on him as a prank. Kim kept farming and decided that he'd ask his friend about it. He forgot about that though, and never asked his friend.

A week passed by, and Kim felt something poke him. "If this is you-", Kim started saying when he turned around, but stopped midway on talking when he realized nobody was behind him. He scoffed, and then said, "Are you invis?" No response. Then he felt the poke again. He spinned around, and then realized that even if somebody was invisible, nobody had the small particles. He looked at his shoulder, and then let out a small scream. There were flowers on his arms, not just his shoulder. They were all roses, and he noticed that some of them had vines on them. then he realized that the vines had thorns on them. Huh, that's strange, Kim thought to himself. He didn't feel anything poke him again, so he decided that he wouldn't do anything. But as soon as he was about to keep doing what he was doing, he felt another poke. Kim didn't hesitate, and tried to take off the roses off of his arm.

The roses weren't coming off though, and Kim felt as if they were connected to his body. He felt a burning feeling when he tried taking them off, and stopped tugging on it. He didn't want to hurt himself. Kim decided that he would have to leave them on him, not being able to do anything. He then saw something shining, a light blue colour. He frowned, realizing that it was a flower. It seemed to not be connected to the vines. He took it off, and saw that it became a small light blue flower to a sword. Kim looked around again, wondering where the sword had came from or who had given it to him. He looked at it again: It was a light blue sword with vines that had thorn and roses on it. It was small, but not too small for it to fit in his hand. It was a perfect size for him, and he probably would've been able to fight with it. Then he saw something fall out of the sword; a small paper that was connected to it. He picked it up, and read the paper: Vines of the Rose - Human Cursed by the Flowers

Kim didn't understand what the description meant. He decided not to think much of it, since he thought it was a funny joke. But he kept asking himself, Why did that blue flower become a sword? It made no sense for him, and why it was there in the first place. It seemed so weird on how it transformed. Wait...could I also transform it back into a flower?, Kim thought to himself. He didn't see why he couldn't try it out at all. He grabbed hold of the sword, and closed his eyes. He mumbled, "Turn into a flower..." He repeated it, and then felt something; a soft touch of a stem. He opened his eyes and saw that the sword had converted back into a flower. He was then able to recognize flower type: A light blue orchid.

Carvinia-Kidania Annexation War POV | January 20, 2022
When the Annexation war between Carvinia and Kidania happened, Kim was the first one to report that there were two people in Grensworth, asking Carvinia to surrender. Kim didn't know what was happening, so he reported it to the people that were nearby, which happened to be Quinn and Phenix, as they both came to Grensworth to see what was happening. Kim managed to follow the two "attackers" back to Carven City, where there were around four more people in Carven City. Kim has went to stay in Quinn's house to stay protected, but came out of it as soon as other members of Carvinia went to kill them. Kim, of course, would've helped, but he had no weapon other than a wooden shovel (well, maybe he could've killed them with a shovel, but he wasn't going to risk it).

When the Peace Conference had started, he stayed silent, but when the leader Sxftblur and a soldier named LiteralLettuce went to talk in private, Kim decided to help handle the situation, and had tried to reassure Kidania's members that if it was proven well enough, they would get their stuff back if Sxftblur accepted it. As soon as Sxftblur and LiteralLettuce came back, however, he had to go, not knowing that in the end of the conference, Carvinia had payed 1.8K and given Kidania their stuff back.
