Tapnap

backstory:
It was a dark night late in the summer. There wasn't any sound to be heard in the mountains of the north. But then, suddenly multiple battle cries flowed through the mountains followed by distressed screaming. A small village was being overrun by people from down south. The people called them "the meridies". There in that village lived Tapnap and until then he lived there peacefully with his family. But as far as he knows he was the only one from his family and maybe even village to escape the attack. After a long journey to what he later found out was the west, he found new lands. The people there were called Eldhamites. And although the people were not unified, most of them shared the same goal; building a better future. There in Eldham he took refuge in the (then) high kingdom of Yunria. In the town of Mexrncast.

job:
As tapnap wasn't born into a rich family, he never had much money. But after he lost his family. He needed to work hard to keep himself alive. And because of this, he used to spend every day for the majority of the day underground, mining for minerals to sell. After around 6 years of this intense labor and being homeless, he finally saved enough money to buy a house. His occupation switched from miner to merchant as he set up a shop. He sold items farmed in the village he lived in, bought minerals in large amounts, and sold them for a profit. This took way less time to do than mining, and it made him more.

personal brewery:
Having more money and time he started having time for hobbies. And if there was one thing Tapnap liked, it was alcohol. A bad habit, but he had spent so much time and effort to get to this point in his life and he thought: why not treat myself to this happiness, and so he began brewing. Every night when walking through town you could smell herbs and fruits brewing in his basement. But after a while, time and time again he grew bored with a drink. And so he moved to more expensive and harder to get drinks. Again not really enjoying the drinks he knew how to make he came across a drink called "top shelf sativa" 300.000 and the bartender would teach him how to make it. Tapnap thought it was worth it so he spend the money, and soon he was taught how to make the drink. And After making a batch he tested his first drink. *ping*

(recipes were bought from the owner)

crisis:
After spending almost half a million on drinks, Tapnap was quite low on money. Not a problem, i have enough goods in stock that I can sell, he thought. But at the same time, the country Tapnap lived in was threatened by Uraka. They were planning to take over the whole northeast of Eldham with its Holy Crusade. With the distress, this caused no one bought items from his shop anymore. Now Tapnap was close to not being able to afford a house again.

bandit life:
Tapnap was quickly running out of money but he absolutely didn't want to go back to being homeless. So to get the money he needed, he started going out before anyone was awake he went to nations that wronged him or his nation. And stole as many valuables as he could. But he wasn't the only one in search of money and after a while, he started doing the same, but with other bandits. Together they could steal way more. One time while banding he came across another bandit and got attacked by him, seriously wounded Tapnap got back home. At this moment he thought about going back to normal life, but now he had chosen this and couldn't just go back to being a merchant. After a short while, he had enough money to keep himself alive and not go back to being homeless.

involvement in the Yunria-Aureus war
When tensions between Yunria and Aureus rose, the citizen of Yunria build up a large stock of military supplies. Tapnap contributed around half a million worth of supplies to this. Most of the supplies he acquired with the help of potions he made in his brewery. Donating these supplies was a large hit to his wallet. But in the end Yunria did end up winning the war. And that was what mattered the most.

leaving Yunria
After two failed coups, large parts of Yunria decided to join Drackar and Majulah. the population of Yunria fell down. and because of this Tapnap also decided to leave Yunria and make his primary residence Eldurrim. a town that used to be in Yunria.
