Mr Lapis

Mr Lapis, formerly Blue2806 (IGN), is a politician, excavator, miner and farmer currently living in Terroja. He is a citizen of Montroig, Alfheim, OTPC, Eisenland, Lorent and a member of the Church of Barry the Blue Sheep. He was also a founding member of the Longist party of Montroig which is a now defunct party in the government Montroig. He has a history of being fairly radical in terms of politics being a hardline longist that has a no nonsense and serious attitude even when it comes to morality. As of now he lives a simple life, mining for gold and iron deep underground as a means to sustain himself monetarily. Working hard to build up his wealth and be more than just a normal citizen, right now as of 31 August 2022 he is a member of the ministry of culture in Eisenland

History
Originally Blue2806 was abandoned as a baby on the streets of Terroja being found by his adoptive mother Banetysto inside of a box, who took him in growing up in Nieuwlyonesse in the duchy of Urcastle where he grew up. Once turning 23, he returned to Terroja becoming a follower of Barryism while he worked hard as a excavator digging the trench around Antler's Rest to help hold back the horde's conquest wanting to do everything he can even, if he couldn't fight well, to help in the Commonwealth of Haven's war effort.

On July 10, 2022 Blue was elected for the position, minister of justice, in Montroig. With no rival candidates, he was immediately elected for the position beginning his role as minister of infrastructure out by proposing a amendment to build more hospitals and clinics across the country beginning his rise to power that would lead to him serving as the guardian of Montriog.

Transformation
On July 11, 2022, the baptism of Blue2806 into the church of Barry the blue sheep took place. As the high priest RHK249 pronounced him a member of the faith, a flash of light struck him, beaming down from the heavens and engulfed the whole cauldron he was in. Blue's mortal human flesh was stripped from him, clothes burnt off and his skin turned Blue literally. Leaving all but his sunglasses and a new suit on him inside the cauldron still. The high priest was at a loss of words as so was Blue who was stunned at the new revelation that had befallen him, he could move like a human still but didn't need to eat because he had no mouth. He could speak or sleep but had no internal organs as if he really was just a piece of lapis. On one hand it seemed like a miracle but there was still more to discover as time goes on maybe this was a curse in disguise. Regardless he used it as a way to change his name to something better than Blue2806 and that name was Mr Lapis

Running for guardian and becoming vice guardian
"'Citizens of Montroig! as you know the anarchists are trying to take our country away from us, so me and Badeu are uniting together for a house divided against itself will never win. People of Montroig, vote for us! Banish these anarchist hethens to the depths of hell where they belong! We WILL win this battle! We will achieve total victory! No matter the cost! Even if they win through their lies and deceit, we will march as traitors and return as kings! We the people will fight and bleed to the very end before we let the anarchists win! Common men and women, put your political differences aside, unite against anarchy, unite for the future of our children so that they may not grow up in a stateless hellhole. Vote Badeu and Mr Lapis!!!' - Mr Lapis announcing the merger of his and Badeu's campaign"Shortly after the name change, the Balmesian national party was formed by anarchists and the essay "Гaнc" was circulating around, this coincided with his announcement running for guardian of Montroig, Due to this he made a deal with another candidate, Badeu, to become his running mate and unite their campaigns together for a better chance at winning against the anarchists for the future of Montroig as a state was at stake.

Because of the merge, on 20th July 2022, Badeu won over 50% of the vote in a landslide, with Catarina second and the anarchist candidate Alto Cornaro in dead last. As such, Mr Lapis resigned from his role as minister of infrastructure to become the vice guardian of Montroig lest he hold onto a ministerial role while being the vice guardian

But unfortunately, after the election the government began to stagnate. No one wanted to join the towns outside of Terroja like New Baldia while proposals began to come in less and less. Even worse, Gooblegins and Rose both left Montroig resulting in more of the old guard being lost to time. The only piece of work done was the monument to Gooblegins and the discovery of Jfk's attempt at building something that had been lost to time

The 1st Mr Lapis Administration
On 31st July 2022, in a private meeting between Badeu and Mr Lapis, Badeu would express his dissatisfaction on how the public viewed him and how he views himself wishing to Resign due to him being partially responsible for the stagnation of Montroig. Shortly after he would announce it to the government then the people, as such Mr Lapis became the new guardian of Montroig unexpectedly.

Under him, he would try to revive Montroig as best as he could. He appointed Caterina as his vice guardian and began to fill in empty government positions, quickly his administration descended into a game of political chess. There were many sides trying to gain the upper hand with or against him, the liberals, anarchists, socialists, nationalists, all wanted power to further their own agendas. Tensions were growing too over the issue of the United East Haven Republic and Montroig's role in it, many wanted independence, Mr Lapis himself wanted to stay, not because of his own agenda but out of the survival of Montroig because without the republic, Montroig's stagnant government would cave in on itself fast

The Revolutionary Revolution
On 8 August 2022, Arcadia Regina, one of Mr Lapis' anarchist enemies, former leader of the Surrealist party of Montroig and one of the founders of the Balmesian national congress, launched a attempted coup against him alongside riots in nearby Tiatua and Axel to end what she perceived as a tyrannical liberalist regime alongside several like minded revolutionaries. As the revolt began, her and other revolutionaries brandishing red banners found and forced Mr Lapis into the parliament building intending to kill him. Arcadia asked him if his rule is illegitimate, and if he said no the revolutionaries encircling Mr Lapis would beat him to a pulp, so smugly he responded "I believe not" which wasn't what Arcadia liked.

So the beatings began, those around him tried to punch and kick only to meet his cold hard Lapis body. Quickly before they equipped their armour and weapons he bolted out of the parliament building to the place where he turned to Lapis. Running into the Terroja church of Barry, he shut the door not allowing the revolutionaries to get in. Barry himself sensing danger used his god powers to prevent the mob in saving Mr Lapis. Unable to get in they rioters began to burn and destroy while he called for back up.

Soon 2 forces arrived, the United east haven republic's republican forces and unexpectedly the OPTC, fights amongst the 2 broke out and Mr Lapis came out to aid in the battle with his diamond greatsword and armour, both were out classed by the revolutionaries weapons. Even Barry himself came out to stop the violence peacefully but alas they never listened and many of the mob died during the clashes as they barricaded themselves in the parliament building, 2nd Lieutenant Ren M gave the order after awhile to storm the building resulting in more deaths for Arcadia's forces

Arcadia Regina and anyone left alive attempted to flee to Tiatua chased down by the Montroig-Alfheim-OTPC force, on the bridge outside Terroja, Mr Lapis and RHk249 were the first to meet Arcadia herself on the bridge battling her until she ran and jumped off where the republican guard eventually killed her. The event made Mr Lapis determined to bring all these anarchists and so called revolutionaries to justice, a move supported by the United east haven republic federal government and many locals. Soon he would go after Augustine Retter and Alto Cornano, 2 prominent anarchists that had written a essay which was essentially a call to violent, bloody, revolution

Moment of Respites
In between the aftermath of the revolutionary revolution and prosecuting anarchists, Mr Lapis sought out 2 citizenships in different countries. These countries was the OTPC to be closer to his parents and Eisenland, a nation that he originally wanted to join at his start of life living in rathnir but chose Montroig instead for its prospects of democracy and freedom. At the same time he also became a priest in the Church of Barry the blue sheep and attempted to prosecute Alto Cornano for treason, the trial being undermined by a lack of evidence and Caterina, Alto's designated lawyer

The 2nd Mr Lapis Administration
On 13th August 2022, the 20th guardian elections were held. Surprisingly only Caterina ran against him leaving a single opponent, before he ran under the Longist party but after the departure of Gooblegins it was dissolved having only him as member of it so this time he ran under the BMP which was unexpected as the party had been dead for quite a long time with no real activity until now. For his running mate he chose RHk289, also under the BPM. Many people endorsed Mr Lapis and the elections almost ended in a draw but ultimately he won, unfortunately his running mate could not be his vice after concerns and harassment from Montroigian citizens relating to his position in the OTPC and Urcastle rose up forcing RHk249 to drop out voluntarily.

But only just over a week later would trouble strike, behind everyone's back Uldarash was being reformed for a 3rd time and only Caterina and Prot were selected as the delegates from Montroig to be involved in the negotiations. Montroig was torn inside out from whether to support it or go against it after Vic told the Montroigian government suddenly. Personally Mr Lapis was against it due to the shady nature of its reveal and gave approval for all judges of Montroig's judicial system to express their opinion that independence is the only way not to maintain the nation's sovereignty which made everything worse 10 fold. A discord argument would erupt in the government channel in the Montroig server until Ashley, the Alfheim prime minister attempted to mediate giving time for the constitution of Uldarash to pass through a Montroigian emergency parliament followed by a referendum to decide whether they should join the new Uldarash or not.

Loyalist Montroig and downfall
Collaborating with the judges, general Cryo and Arnlid Aramo Daydream, they all formed a group known as loyalist Montroig that sook independence from Uldarash by all means necessary. Messing with the referendum to join Uldarash was the first thing removing all non citizens and inactive who had voted but still the vote passed and Montroig was pulled into Uldarash. So they planned a nuclear option of declaring independence by force, at this time Mr Lapis' new vice, Hamilton, who had been secretly gathering evidence against him on this whole chain of events was added into the Loyalist Uldarash discord server by Miningboy.

This came after Mr Lapis gained a contact in the Lorentish Empire (a horde nation) after meeting one of their founders offsite in a foxhole regiment which resulted in the Lorentish Empire backing Loyalist Montroig ready to fight alongside them in the rebellion. Before anything could happen however, Hamilton broke the news to everyone in the government complete with a google document containing 11 screenshots in total that was also leaked to the public. All members of Loyalist Montroig including Mr Lapis except for Flicko, Junior and Arnlid were removed from their positions and had a case filed against them for a class A felony treason charge.

Before he could be arrested, Mr Lapis fled to Eisenland where he had a extra apartment and sanctity with kaiser gustav himself deciding he would be defended if the Montroig government decided to pursue him all the way to Maxstadt. Although all charges would be dropped after a deal was worked out by 2 sides where all charges would be dropped but those involved, except Junior and Flicko, would resign from their government positions as Loyalist Montroig turns into a political party in the government instead

Personality
Under all the seriousness is a man who is very lonely, Mr Lapis longs for a wife or someone to share a special connection with, most people view him as a politician, a leader. nothing more and nothing less. Government isn't really the best place to make special connections and it doesn't help he's a workaholic constantly slaving away at his guardian position and making money for seemingly nothing. He wishes some day to feel the warmth of love and to be treated like a friend by someone, but that day will have to wait as it doesnt look like it is happening anytime soon. For now he has developed the habit of smoking cigars and alcohol, even then he's quiet about it as his mother especially would kill him for smoking and drinking.
