Hipps Rykuh

Overview
Hipps is a 42 year old Bardonian Khazad (Dwarf) who dwells in Port Solanaria, Bardonia, in the north east of Rathnir and follows the religion of Tuberism.

Bardonia and Port Solanaria
Not much is known about his early life or family, but that at a young age Hipps saw true beauty in yellow. From his adolescence he devoted himself to Dandelism, because of his admiration of the dandelion's colour.

Later in his years at 42 he met the Bardonians, whom he respected for their love of the flower. He would go on to join Bardonia from this point. In his time in Bardonia he would join the town of Idaho (Port Solanaria). It was in the town of Idaho he was first introduced to the potato and the religion of Tuberism. He was in adoration of the potato's golden yellow skin, and instantly followed the religion of Tuberism alongside Dandelism.

During his time in Port Solanaria he would run a tavern and underground cocaine drug farm.

3rd Mayor's Death and Soladium
On the 6th of August 2021, the town's 3rd mayor, Maximus Ida, would die due to a lethal drug overdose. Hipps would find the Mayor's body, confused at how the mayor had died he would look through his surroundings for a possible explanation. In doing this Hipps would unknowingly come in to contact with Maximus' soladium contaminated blood. Eventually Hipps found a note beside Maximus's body opening with: 'If you are reading this I would have likely died of soladium overdose, I never thought I would have fallen to such a monstrosity of a substance...'.

It was then that Hipps began to sweat and shake as he became rapidly unwell from the small dose of pure soladium he had accidentally taken. In a hurried panic he would run out of Idaho's town hall to his home where he would lay in a coma-like state for the next 3 hours.

After he first awoke he struggled to recall what had happened, but was reminded by the blood stained onto his hands. His initial thoughts as he washed his hands clean and changed clothes were to stay as far away as possible from the Mayor's office, but as the hours past by he had a craving to return and take the drug. Soon he found himself back in the Mayor's place of death, but before he took the drug again, he recalled what had happened to him earlier, and looked over at where he had saw the dead Mayor, his mind flashing back to the sight of his pale corpse. He resisted taking it, but instead stored the soladium in bottles, as he contemplated a safer way of consuming the drug to satisfy his new addiction.
