Description
Clarky Cat is a 250 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 Prequels
Clarky Cat was born and in the fields of what is now Lutum. As a young child, he enjoyed wandering around and exploring the forest, mountains and rivers of where Diregon is now. He over time formed a sibling rivalry against medium cat, his twin, who was all brawn and no brain (similar to Sepet). He met Reaper here, the man who he would one day marry as well as Un_Sabroso_Huevo, the man who would one day found Berrism. Here, he trained his mind by reading books on history, politics and warfare. He lived happily for years, until he got bored of living the simple life, and wanted to explore the huge world he had been reading about for so long. At the age of 25, he set off with his 2 friends and Medium Cat.

Clarky and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel
They hiked many miles, through mountains, forest and deserts. They were forced at some points to fight of tribal settlements throughout their journey, but they powered through it, every time getting to the next civilized town. Eventually they realized they had ran out of money, and couldnt afford food and medical supplies at the towns. They decided to try to dig for gold. After digging a deep quarry, they still hadnt found a single piece of gold. They were only living on berries, and decided to try to live off cheese as well, which worked for a while. They eventually decided to resort to cannibalism. They set out to find the savage tribals dwelling within the surrounding forest, and stockpiled them. Howver, no matter how much they dug, they couldnt find any gold. They decided to try to brew alcohol afterward, but even that epic failed. They eventually decided the ground they were on had to be cursed, so they begun to head back to their homeland to reorganize for a couple months.

Clarky and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked
As they were travelling over the sea back to their home on a ship they had hidden upon, a storm begun. The waves crashed into the ship over and over, the crew were panicing and running around. Clarky, Sabroso, Reaper and Medium cat emerged from their hiding spot and begun to run for a life boat. They escaped off the ship as it begun to sink, however, the waves were too big for the dingy to handle, causing the rowboat to be flung around for hours. They eventually made it back to a strange land they didnt recognize. It was Eldham still, for sure, but apart from that, they didnt recognize anything. It was a desert, the heat was beating down on them as they walked around searching for water. They wandered around for what felt like months, but finally, they found themselves at a city. Clarky looked around for help, while the others looked for food and water. Clarky eventually found a building owned by the "femboy mafia". He broke in and stole a map of the nearby land, as well as some scrumptious food. The femboy mafia found out and begun to hunt him down through the streets. Clarky was under heavy bow fire, but luckily founded the stables, stealing 4 horses and meeting up with the rest of the crew. They set off immediately.

Clarky and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip
The long adventure home begun. It turned out they were many many miles away from their homeland, but thanks to the erm.. Help they got at the village, they believed they could make it. They rode upon horses, until food begun to run low. It turned out, Medium Cat had been stealing the rations of everyone else. They decided that he could no longer be trusted, and tied him to a pole in the middle of the forest, leaving him for the wolves. This still didnt fix the problem of low food, so they were forced to eat their own horses and live off berries. They by some miracle finally made it back to their homeland where they held a funeral for Medium Cat.

Pre-Lutnam
He and his friends, 36reaper and Un_Sabroso_Huevo set off when Clarky got bored of his normal life, living at his gnome house. They ventured across the lands, searching for a way to make money because of his quite immense poverty. This cycle of being broke went on for a while until they stumbled upon Rabanshire (later known as Phoenia). Clarky had dreamed of being a noble mayor, and he knew this was his chance. He requested 5000 dollar from the king so he could found a town in the middle of the desert which he called Lutumshire. It was generously donated to him. The fact Lutumshire was in a desert was an issue because deserts have no food. They were living off rations at this point, until Un_Sabroso_huevo had a vision from Da Berry himself, they were blessed with berries. They lived off of berries for a long time, eventually forming the religion of Berrism around it. After gaining a reputation of being the crazy berry lovers, they were informed of a forest, full of naturally growing berries. The entire town abandoned all their things and fled to the new place, only bringing the essentials.. Such as berries. Clarky built the first house there, the community house. The town rapidly expanded now it wasnt in a desert. It eventually, however, fell into inactivity. The phoenians decided to sell the area Lutumshire was in. Clarky saw this as an opportunity to become independent, and acted outraged to gain independence. It worked. Lutumshire was now independent as the Holy Kingdom Of Lutum, Clarky was feeling amazing at this point. The nation expanded slowly but surely, this is when most of the important Lutumites joined. Clarky was feeling amazing, and the nation was growing rapidly. Then the Phoenix Crisis happened.

Lutnam
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 time mining and drinking in the caves of Lutnam, from walking in his fortress home at Lutumshire, to crawling in the dusty tunnels of Lutnam. 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. Blue Arbiter, however, had not completely lost hope. He headed to the AWE, becoming an established figure and using his influence to put pressure onto the Phoenians until they finally released Lutum.

The Booba Incident
Clarky had undergone alot of mental trauma during Lutnam. The trauma in combination with the Mc Clarky Curse was literally driving him insane. He couldn't stop thinking about Lutnam, but he had to, because he was a monarch and was still in charge of a huge country. The stress begun to overwhelm him, and he was hanging on by a couple of strings. The strings were then cut.

Local Tomboy, the future monarch of Lutum, had begun posting images that Clarky did not like. This drove Clarky to exile Tomboy from the land peridoically, and say that if anybody smuggled her back in, in any way at all, he would exile and execute them too. Clarky eventually calmed down, and realized what he had done. He immediately stepped down, and put his son Blue Arbiter in charge temporarily until he recovered. Clarky never truly recovered, and so never became monarch again, leaving Blue Arbiter in charge permanently. He finally begun to calm down and recover after the weight of the kingdom was lifted off his shoulders.

Babylus
The city of Babylus was a squatter claim in the North West of Lutum. Clarky was aware of the squatters, but didnt see them as much of a threat, believing it would be a simple easy job. Clarky was mistaken, however, and it was anything but. Clarky eventually found out about how negotiations had broken down between The Squatter King (the owner of Babylus), as he somehow kept on fighting against Lutum, refusing to surrender even when his own people were abandoning him. Clarky was pretty upset about this, and decided to go over and investigate the situation, as well as try calm down the mad squatter along with a couple other fellow Lutumites, including the Grand Knight. As Clarky neared the walls, he had lava dumped upon him, causing him to almost burn alive in the pain, no diplomacy was conducted on that day for obvious reasons. A raid was then organized on Babylus, to finally take down the mad squatter. After arrows were exchanged, the king finally surrendered, allowing them in on the one condition that they didnt kill him immediately. They were then led around the city, being given a tour of the quite frankly pretty quaint town. They then ascended up the pyramid in the center of town to the squatter's chamber. He then formally surrendered, trusting Clarky and a few other high ranking officials. While others saw the tax of 1000 per day, Clarky saw opportunity. He and 36reaper left silently, and ransacked the lower portion of the pyramid. They then emerged back to the king's chambers, where the king was about to be executed. The squatter king was then finally killed. Months past, minor issues but overall everything was going pretty awesome.

Post Lutnam And Vespera
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.

Diregon
A while after Clarky had arrived back at Vespera, they merged again into Diregon. Clarky didnt care much for it, and the only reason I am bringing it up is just to avoid confusion later on when I refer to the country as Diregon.

Therapy
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. Clarky now had an idea. He felt empty inside, so he would just simply fill that space with cats. Clarky begun breeding cats.. A lot. However, most of them vanished under suspicious circumstances. Clarky now has 5-8 cats to his name.

A couple days after the weird cat thing, Clarky was invited to another weird thing: a Diregon police raid on Ember's brewery (because of allegations that Ember abused cats). Clarky went over, being given a Swardian shield and staying hidden. Clarky then pretended to just arrive and requested to be given Ember's cats, however, Clarky was then offered an offer he could not refuse. Ember asked Clarky if he wanted to go and trash Laurries house. He obviously accepted where he then told Ember about the weird cat stealing operation. They then went back to the family mansion. Another couple days after this, Clarky was given ALL of ember's cats by Laurry. Clarky then blackmailed Ember with the cats, saying he would only return them if he was given 10k. Ember then proceeded to beat up Clarky until his angel chests put all his loot onto the ground. Ember then proceeded to take one out of the three cats Clarky had on him, one of his shulkers and his spyglass. This was an issue. Clarky then made a deal with Ember, where he would give the other 2 cats back if he was given his spy glass and shulker back.

Swoogler is satan incarnate and must be locked in a cage in the family mansion using the corpses of 3 dead cats to keep him trapped away. Swoogler is a creature that appears to be a regular cat that appeared one day randomly in Clarkies house. As soon as he is observed by any creature, except god himself, they are overwhelmed with an immense fear and dread. Clarky and Ember hurridly made measures to contain Swoogler and any of his clones (currently only 1 other clone has been found) locked away and secure. Clarky has plans to move Swoogler into his dungeon when it is completed by Presidente. If Swoogler escapes, who knows what sort of havoc he could cause.

Diregon Government Stupidity
TLDR: Clarky hates the Diregonian government.

The Diregonian government does not tell it's people ANYTHING. I mean that literally, unless they are already half-way through a war. A couple times, Clarky can see government officials talking about almost being at war with some country that he didnt recognize the name of, and had no idea who they were. The Diregonian government tell it's people so little that if the country collapsed and was invaded the last people to know would be it's own citizens. For this reason, Clarky obviously hates the Diregonian government. The government has brung them to the brink of war multiple times and it seems like they are a council of idiots doing their own thing, instead of an organizing governing body. It may seem like I am merely hurling insults, however, they are perfectly justfied. The Lutumite government did better EVEN when Local Tomboy was the leader, and that's saying something. This fact combined with the fact that Lutum, the part of the merged nation that has the most citizens in it, has ABSOLUTELY 0 representation in the nations flag makes Clarky absolutely despise the Council of Clowns.

Clarky ran for emperor along with Nova and the rest of the Lutum royal house. This, however, resulted in an epic fail. Clarky suspected the election was rigged and was mostly just people who barely did anything who voted.

Clarky then proceeded to run for leyfrid. This time, House Lutum was prepared. They got everyone to vote Nova as their first pick, putting him in first place overnight. However, even after all this, the election SOMEHOW put Nova into first place in the hours after. Clarky now is certain there was foul play involved.

Family
Clarkies family is the royal family of Lutum. It's called Lutum House (obviously), consisting of 9 members. Reaper, Sepet, Blue Arbiter, Elcapitanfranz, Ember, Clarky, Faith, Nova and Sr Presidente. The family house owns a large manor in Lutumshire.

The family was formed in old Lutum, when Clarky adopted Blue Arbiter. The family was them for a while (occasionally reaper as he and Clarky married and divorced repeatedly) until Diregon, when Clarky adopted 2 other people: Nova and Sr Presidente. Presidente went on to marry Sepet, and Nova went on to adopt Ember and Captain Franz.

The important family members (cool ones)
Despite the horrifying ordeal Clarky went through with Nova, over time, he has somehow found a way to put family first and to learn to tolerate Nova after he did some weird stuff and used pieces of Clarkie's soul to change into another person (i dont know what happened there still, so i will not elaborate). He still, however, holds a level of resentment and mistrust toward Nova.

Sepet is stupid so Clarky dislikes him. Sepet views himself as the genius planner behind the family, however most of his plans flop and epic fail because of the lack of support from the family, and the plans sucking.

Ember is Nova's child, and Clarkies grandchild. Ember is Clarky Cat's mega beer supplier, which fuels his alcoholism alot more. Clarky cares for Ember, mostly because of the alcohol.

Reaper is Clarkies wife/husband/marriage thing. Reaper and Clarky met centuries ago, a while before Lutumshire was founded. Over the centuries, they fell in love and got married. Reaper complains about Clarkies excessive mega beer consumption, and the only reason they are still together now is because reaper keeps threatening TO TAKE MY HOUSE AWAY! STOP IT!

Presidente is the builder of the mansion that the family currently resides in, as well as the current Bope of Berrism.

Blue Arbiter is the most sane member of the family. He is Clarkies first adopted son and second king of Lutum. Clarky holds alot of admiration for Arbiter, and views him as the best leader of Lutum.

Very fun facts:
1: Clarky blames many of his wrong doings on Medium Cat, as they are identical twins. Many think this is Clarky just lying to get out of trouble, but there are a couple people who believe him and think Medium Cat survived.
