Delta van Nachtig

Delta is a Citizen of the Imperial Archonate of Viodoxa and the Imperial Federation of Aldovir. He is the Baron of Elefthria, Count of Tarano and was Archduke of Adytum and later also the Chancellor of Aldovir and then Ashire (Emperor) of Aldovir. He is a part of the Bakura Family. Before the deatgh of his first body and him coming from an Militaristic Clan, he was often seen wearing an Admirals uniform. But, ever since his original body died, he had the body of a young elf boy and now mostly wears green coats and shirts.

Personality
Delta is a quiet, and introverted individual. His brother Cassiath Bakura often says that hes immature, which Delta thinks is a lie. He is often found alone, only dealing with other people when he has to.

Childhood
The first years of Delta's life were a happy few years that unfortunately didn't last long. He and his Family the van Nachtig Family, Head Family of the Clan of the Night, a recognized clan with a great military, were always liked and Delta was always seen smiling as a child. But the Bandits in the Nation they were living in didn't care. Their clan was rich in resources and so they raided their Town Nýchta in a single night. Delta's Father died while trying to protect his wife and son. The Clan which once had over 100 Members, now only had 13 left. They disbanded the Clan and now only lived with their Families. Delta, who was 8 years old now, his Mother and a few Friends, built a small fishers Town in Aezenfjord near Viodoxa City. They named it Elefthria. They survived by selling fish and treasures they found in the sea. They lived there in Peace until Delta was 12 years old. Around the time of his twelfth Birthday, he would be seen more often in Viodoxa City than in any other town of Aezenfjord. This lead to a conflict between him and his older friends, then when a diplomat came to Elefthria asking if they rather wanted to be Viodoxan than Citizens of Aezenfjord, Delta and his mother accepted, but their 3 Friends who lived with them declined. Enraged, Neil Gederia one of Delta's friends, who didn't like the diarchy in Viodoxa blew up their Storage, which lead to Delta and his Friends splitting up.

Life in Viodoxa City
At the age of 15, shortly after the incidents in Elefthria, the current Archon of Viodoxa Hazel McSpiegel personally invited Delta to live in Viodoxa City. He was given a house with a great view on the sea, at 203 Author Ave. It was at that time where he started talking less and less with other People. But Ryou Bakura, current Baron of Viodoxa City, who would later become his adoptive father helped him out of falling into depression.

Second try at Freedom
Restrenghened, Delta tried once again settling on his own. In the old ruins of an ancient town in the east of Viodoxa City, near the end of the World he recreated Elefthria, this time not as a fishers village, but as a simple place of Freedom and Liberty.

Rise in the Ranks
Because of being the Head of the Second Elefthria, he was the head of a now recognized Town in Adytum, which is why he became a Baron and was soon asked by the Marquis Andreas S. Z. La B.Atlas to become the Count of the County Kemon, which Delta renamed after his long dead Father Tarano van Nachtig. And so Delta went from an oridnary Citizen to the Count of Tarano in just one year.

3 years had gone bye, while Delta still managed the City of Kemon and his own Town Elefthria. He worked hard every day to keep his County up and running. He got praise from his adoptive Father, who at that time had become Archduke of Adytum. Seeing Deltas rise in popularity Ryou wanted to give Delta the promotion he thought he deserved. Ryou approched Delta with the opportunity of becoming Marquis of Adytum, which would make him Ryous right hand man and replacement, if he wouldn't be able to appear.

Enlistment
Delta enlisted into the Army of Viodoxa at the Age of 17 to help Viodoxa Colony at the War of Suns Gate, but fell ill a few days before the war, which lead to him missing in the Fighting. From then on out he acted more of a supplier for the Army than a Soldier.

Adoption into the Bakura Family
A few days after the Battle of Suns Gate, Delta received word that his Mother had passed away, which threw him right back into depressions. Thinking he broke a hundred years of Family Tradition, because he wasn't there while she died. Ryou noticed that Delta didn't leave his House for a few days and went to Delta to talk with him. Ryou had just started a new Family, the Bakura Family and so he asked to adopt Delta, trying to give him a new Family so he could smile again. The van Nachtig Family was completely erased and so Delta took on the Surname of Bakura.

Bloodfilled Days
Delta and his Brother Cassiath Bakura found themselves on a lounge area at their Palace, both bored and they didn't know what to do. For some reason they both can't explain they had an urge for blood in that very moment. Cassiath brought up the idea of grabbing a Citizen from Viodoxa City, which he was Baron of and torturing the innocent people for fun. They soon developed a habit and found fun in torturing people. But after a few months he certainly felt more ill and ill while torturing people.

Red painted Streets of Viodoxa
As the former Archon of Viodoxa Loic dem Spheniscidae returned, Delta and everyone in Viodoxa knew it would come to war. As soon as he realised, he started gathering gear and money for the upcoming war. With Elefthria being an extremely close supplier, he knew he had to get to work. On the Second of January the war in Viodoxa City began. Dozens fell in the now with blood filled streets of this once so peaceful city. Seeing this, he feared loosing his life too and took an opportunity to flee through his secret tunnel back to Elefthria. After the war he developed Hemophobia: The fear of blood, and swore himself to never fight in a war again, only if his Family or close friends are in danger, he would fight.

Mistrust amongst the People
The Second battle of Viodoxa City was near and Delta wanted to fight, but his Hemophobia made it hard. He sent himself to the north border of Viodoxa City after hearing that a group of attackers was spotted there. He reported back everything he saw, but when the start of the war came no one could have imagined that the Viodoxan troops would be slaughtered from the get go. The Commanders and Captains didn't give any commands and Delta had to order troops to the north border, not knowing he ordered them straight into their deaths. The walls werent high or strong enough. Loics people rushed inside seconds after the fight started and the Viodoxan troops got eliminated in an insant. They saw that Delta commanded a few troops and so he was held as a POW. After they advanced further they locked Delta in a house near Spheniscidae bridge. After destroying a few logs is the basement of the house, he crafted a wooden pickaxe to dig to the house where his brother was locked in. They both digged there way to Delta house, so they could use the secret highway under his house. After they arrived in Elefthria, Delta was confronted by Cassiath and asked what his opinion of the current government was. Delta was disappointed in the government and that was what he told Cass. Cassiath realised that this was his chance of getting Delta on the side of the J Horde. Cass got Delta in contact with Huburt Pug and Delta agreed to join the J Horde to spy on the Archonate of Viodoxa, though they didn't know that Delta was actually spying on them too. Delta was spying for both sides and found himself in the hardest choice he would have to face, to choose between his father and his brother.

At the 27 of January 2022, Ryou who also lost hope, got Delta in contact with Loic. Ryou tried to get Delta and Elefthria out of the upcoming war between the IAU and the Holy Order of the Knights of J.

Adytum, Capital Province
At 25 years old, when the war between the Third Imperial Archonate and Loic 'the Uniter' concluded, with Loic coming out on top. Viodoxa surrendered and Deltas father Ryou got booted from his position as Archduke of Adytum and Senator of the Archonate. When the higher ups of the newly formed Archonal Union discussed the situation of the Provinces, Delta soon spoke up to become the new Archduke of Adytum, he as the Marquis, would be the next one in line to becoming Archduke. His request was accepted, keeping the position in the Bakura Family.

Adopting Niki
At 26 years old, after becoming Archduke, Delta was helping with the reparation of Viodoxa City. He found a little girl sitting on the side of the Road while he was rebuidling Viodoxa City. After asking her for her name and what was wrong, she told him that her name was Niki and her mother died in the war. Delta who also fought in the wars, felt bad for the young girl and decided to take her with him to the safety of the Palace of longlasting Joy. Niki was shocked at what rich people could afford and also wanted to live in a house, which wasn't just a bed and a kitchen. Niki asked Delta if she could also live here. After that Delta went to his father to ask him, if he could adopt Niki as his Daughter. Niki took the Surname Bakura and is now known as Niki Bakura.

After adopting Niki, they lived in Kalai Bali for 3 years. At 15 years old, Niki decided to go adventuring and leave the safety of their home.

Adopting Chihiro
At dawn of the 27th of Feburary Delta was travelling in his carriage on a highway to Viodoxa City. When Delta saw a boy lying on the road he stopped the carriage and checked if the boy was still alive. Delta took pity for the young boy since he himself was also a Nightfreak and took the boy called Bahnys with him to his city, Elefthria. On the way to the city Delta gave Bahnys a bread bun to eat, which the child promptly devours in one bite. Delta found this to be incredibly humorous and gave the young boy the nickname "Bun" and promptly adopted him. Chihiro took on the surname Bakura to now be Chihiro Bakura.

Cursed to Rot
At around the age of 45, Delta fell terribly ill, with internal bleeding and weakened bones confining him to his bed in Elefthria. During this time, he didn't allow any visitors exept for his daughter, because not even the doctors knew if the illness is contaigous. The illness kept hurting his entire body and noone knew if he would even survive it. It wasn't until a few weeks after he fell sick, that doctors found out that it wasn't just an illness, it wasn't healable with any of their prucedures and medicaments. It was more of a "Curse" that was slowly rotting his inner organs, which could become deadly if it reaches the Heart. For some odd reasons, it didn't attack any of the vital organs, the curse focused more on hurting the infected but keeping them alive. Thanks to his Nightfreak genetics, Delta was able to endure the curse for a good amount of time, but one day the curse started attacking the heart. Delta instantly got knocked unconciouss and his entire body got cold as ice, and the color of his hair started turning more into a dark-red tone. Niki was the first one to find him in this state, but she didn't find him in his bed. Delta was wandering around in Elefthria, walking to a specific place, and Niki knew that at that place, everything began... Before Deltas body was able to reach the "Cave of Beginnings", Niki knocked him down, dragging him back to his house, while repeatedly avoiding punches and bites from Deltas Body. All that time, he didnt open his eyes once. When Niki finally arrived back at Deltas house, she locked him in, telling the doctors to not go inside, as he has now access to the private armory inside his house. Setting up camp in front of Delta's house, she thought. She noticed the slight change of color in his hair, and his left eye seemed to have swollen. She took 3 looks inside every day, for a few weeks, and after she stopped counting the days, suddenly the front door opened from the inside.Delta walked out, seemingly surprised and unknowing of what happened. Delta was at full conciousness, so Niki explained to him what happened. After she had finished talking, Delta broke out in tears, realising that he had tried to attack his own daughter. Niki tried to comfort him, by saying that it wasn't him, but that curse which controlled him. But Delta could only think of that he still is the curse, and it is still there. Looking at a reflection of himself in the windows of his house, he saw that his hair had completely turned dark-red and red veins were coming from his left eye. But his health was as good as before, so he took back to buiseness, aiding Viodoxa, and his father who had now become Archon.

The dead Archduchy
After Nikis departure back to Carn, where she now resided and held governmental power, Delta saw that the entire Cave of beginning had shifted its colors and rocks, to somewhat matching the veins coming from his left eye. The cave now held red rocks and shining red veins coming from it. But Delta felt that ignoring it would be best, so he took off to do his duty and help reorganize Viodoxa and Kemon, and aid the crisis in Valentum which was split into the old Valentum and new Fleminia, old "Eternal" Archon Hazel McSpiegel causing the problems. Kemon had been a ghost town for a while now, since its mayor Weddelman died years ago. Viodoxa City, while still having citizens was nowhere near its prime, nor even nearly filled enough for its immense size and history. Adytum has fallen from grace since the war and Delta had been removed from the position of Archduke by Archon Havi, since Delta couldn't lead the Archduchy while lying in bed without conciousness. Since Delta wasn't in charge anymore, he just dodged all responsibility thrown at him concerning Adytum and focused more on observing the growing veins in Elefthria, which now claimed a house, the portal and began to rise up to Fort Amyna. He soon investigated something he completely forgot about, that ray of light striking the town hall Niki told him about (context: [ Niki Bakura]). As he came closer, he saw that it wasn't just a flash that hit the town hall, but that "ray" burned through the town hall. Further investigating, he saw that the town hall wasn't the only thing the ray burnt through. It burn't a hole through the entire earth down to its bedrock, and Delta could swear he heard whispers from down the hole, so he went down. Step for step the whispers became louder, so loud that he could clearly hear them, but it were too many to understand them. A few minutes passed before he saw the bedrock, the whispers became normal voices, incredibly loud and incredibly many, but as he set foot on the bedrock, they all disappeared. Just pure silence as he stood there, wondering why he even took the risk to venture into the unknown.

Death
Days and days passed, and the veins spreaded out all over Elefthria. His swords couldn't cut them, arrows couldn't pierce them, and flames couldn't burn them. He kept hearing voices in his sleep and seeing an unkown figur in the dark. All of this took a hard toll on his mental health and he told his last citizens to evacuate the city, staying behind to keep watch over the veins. "Leaving now and letting this behind sounds so nice, but why can't i?" His thoughts overwhelmed him and he tried to leave, tried to leave it all behind... but he couldn't... Something was pulling him back, he felt that someone was watching his every step. So he stayed, and stayed, and stayed. The veins taking over the entire fort, grabbing the southern walls and attacking the farm tower. The Dome of Guhen has been completely absorbed by the veins, and some new veins popped out from the hole at the town hall. The nights beame more torbulent and that blonde women, she just kept showing up. Even at day he could swear that he saw her down the roads. She kept getting closer from day to day to the point where Delta could see her as clear as day. Bright blonde hair, red eyes and a red strain of hair reaching around her head, almost like the veins he has coming from his eye. His mental state was at an all time low and it was just becoming worse. Just a few days after he had a breakdown, he got word from the Cornflower Citadel that Niki, his own daughter had died at the hands of a mysterious blonde woman. Alyssa Luon was the new succesor to the Cornflower Throne, but she also wasn't able to process the death of one of her closest friends. But to Delta, Niki was so much more than just a close friend. She was his daughter, his first child and he was the one feeling responsible for her death.

Rebirth
After all that blonde woman, that person he couldn't find an answer how to beat. She was the one that killed Niki. He fell down on his knees, and all he saw was black, the blonde woman right in front of him which now had a blue eye. Was the blue eye a sign of the Cornflower Queen, a sign of Niki... that she still lives? Or was it just to taunt him? . He tried to move, but he couldn't, laying on the ground, helpless. Next thing he knew, was that he woke up on his bed, with a headache he never felt before. His body felt different, with immense pressure on his chest, standing up, he looked out his window. The difference he saw from the last time he looked out, it wasn't on the town, the difference he saw was massive, and it was on himself. He himself had turned into the blonde woman. He heard voices in his head, voices of women, two voices. One familiar, the other one new. All was too much and he fainted, falling on the floor. Waking up, he was in a place he knew, the completely black.. realm? He didn't know, but the blonde woman wasn't there.

Ventures to afar
A few months after Delta had adapted to his new body, he was called to a land afar by his father Ryou. Ryou wanted Delta to join the government of Aldovir, which was ruled by Deltas Great-Granddaughter Alessandra, daughter of the disgraced Eric. He got the position of Minister of Towns pretty quickly, but his focus had to shift to something else. The Kingdom of Galadonn, ruled by the son of Deltas dead brother Cassiath, had become more and more agressive towards Aldovir. To the surprise of noone, they soon declared war on Aldovir, starting the Cornflower War. While the war happened, Delta wrote a full documentary about it. After the war was over, Ryou left Aldovir for Sirradra, where he would become Prime Minister, and Delta would stay in Aldovir for a while, while also occasionly visiting Cymru. Not so long after, Delta was made Chancellor of Aldovir. But, he had plans to return to Elefthria and Cymru one last tme, to take care of something that had to end.

Experiments with the Abyss
After Malik causing so much trouble, he turned to the only thing he knew of that he also didn't have an answer for, Abyss Mysticism. He had turned 50 not long ago and was up to do something to end the terror. Studying the old scripts he found in Viodoxa City, and remembering the Bloodstone that Malik left as she took Deltas Body, he tought almost a year about how to get rid of the goddess, with the ending result only being that he needs to get rid of the vessel housing the goddess, his body. He came to the conclusion that by infusing Silver Swords with the bloodstone left by Malik, he could enforce a seal that would seal the god inside the body, and then kill the body. A tomb was constructed near Deltas house in Elefthria, calling over his old friend Hyjetta, an immortal Nekojin from Tsukikage to take his role as mayor of Elefthria, and that he could kill off Deltas body. A few days before he would be killed Hyjetta and him sealed Malik inside his body using the silver swords. Then, on his 51st Birthday, Delta kneel'd down and he could feel a force trying to move his body. He pushed against it with all his power, until the only thing he felt was a stab in the back. Hyjetta pushed the silver sword through Deltas back, killing him instantly. Hyjetta quickly dragged his body into the tomb, putting is body into a heavy stone coffin, and placing the last silver sword in its spot outside the tomb. Delta was still concious, even though the died. It just felt like a slumber, one that would never end but also only lasted a second.

Reborn, Era of Aldovir
As Delta woke up from his slumber, all he saw was desert. The sand around him tainted red from blood, and his body feeling light like a feather. He also couldn't move, a from blood tainted sword was lying on his back, he slowly removed it. His entire body hurt and it felt him hard to stand up, but as he looked over the dune he was lying on, he saw a big tower. The giant blackstone tower of Praestenia was in the distance. He stood up and limped towards the tower, hoping that someone might still be there, cleaning up after the war, but as he arrived all he saw was a ghost town. The entire city had been abandoned, and noone came to clean up after the war. As he felt like he could walk straight again, he walked to the Cornflower Citadel, which he found empty and abandoned too. When he took a look into the first mirror he could find, he was shocked to see that he had a new body, one of a young elf with long blonde hair. But, he was not here to talk to anyone nor to admire or hate the new him, but to make a grave for his daughter Niki. He constructed it out of blackstone, gave it the Medal of Commodation from the old Aldovir and planted cornflowers around it. He said goodbye, heading north to Illeviane where he would pick up his duties as Chancellor of Aldovir again.

Ashire, Emperor of Aldovir
Days came by and Aldovir stayed all the same, Delta doing diplomacy all around the world and securing Aldovirs position as a sovereign nation in Rathnir. But, one fateful day, the Empress of Aldovir, Alessandra suddenly disappeared and after days of searching, her regent Talos took the throne to lead the nation further. Many people thought that this transition of power would go smoothly, but it came the exact opposite. Just a few days after Talos became Ashire and he promised the people a more stable Aldovir, he stepped down, and broke constitutional right by appointing Arawn as new Ashire, and not the current regent Hávi Asagrim. Arawn then removed Hávi from his position as Anrithár (Regent) and appointed Delta as the new Anrithár. But only a day after that, Arawn realised that he was in no way fit for running another nation, and in his new office, Arawn killed himself instead of facing his fears. Then, everyone respected the now utterly destroyed constitution, and Delta was appointed as Ashire of Aldovir, making him the fourth Emperor of the Imperial Federation of Aldovir in a span of a week. "For a greater and more stable Aldovir, for a brighter future for us, our children and grandchildren. From this day on Aldovir will stand as a beacon of stability in Central Rathnir" When Delta spoke these words in his first announcement to the people of Aldovir as the new Ashire, he thought of what would have been the future if his child, Niki would've been here. But even then, he couldn't have been more wrong about Aldovir being a beacon of stability. Only a few days after Delta had become Ashire, an old leader of the region of North-Carn, Conquestor, imagining that he would have a rightful claim to the throne usurped it while Delta was outside of the nation. When he heard of this, he contacted the Federations Blades to siege the governmental building in Illeviane, where Conquestor was barracading himself in. Once Delta arrived there, the false Ashire could only hide while threatening Aldovir that his friends and allies would burn it to the ground if he did not get his rightful throne. But, in the end he was captured as the Blades rushed the building, and he was sentenced to a life in prison. From this day on, Aldovir would indeed become a more stable nation, but what it had in foreign affairs, it lacked in activity and population. And then there were also traitors in their own ranks, which lead up to a whole new sort of proplems....
