Fusionia

Tenaru Fielinya Chahemi, mayor of Narayako, former Chancellor for the Republic of Nyaristios, and current member of the Nine Lives Council; she currently lives in her hometown of Narayako, and has been mayor ever since its foundation in the early Spring of 166 TE.

Beginning
Fusionia joined Stoneworks around the 22nd of June, 2022; he first started as a nomad before establishing what would later become Narayako on the same day, not knowing of the existance of Aristios, Narayako; or, "Fitoletus" as it was initially called started off as a squatter claim until the following day, when Fusionia, having been told by Welmast to contact whatever nation that Fitoletus lay in, and it just so happened to be the late Republic of Aristios at the time.

Fusionia got into contact with then governor Logui113, who surprisingly accepted Fusionia into the nation and allowed him to continue running Fitoletus with relative freedom. Unfortunately, the Republic of Aristios did not last as it fell apart only 3-4 days after Fusionia had joined and founded his town. This marked the beginning of his time within the Imperial Archonate of Sylvania, and would forever impact his later actions down the line.

Although, Fusionia's actions during this period didn't reflect much. He spent most of his time building up his town, before going on a months long hiatus during most of the summer of 2022. Eventually, he returned during August and he tore down the previously medieval build style for the oriental builds that Narayako is known for today. It was also around this time that Fusionia began to rise up the political ladder in Castellum, eventually being made Lieutentant-Governor of Castellum in December 2022. However, he played a more important role during the cold war (and eventual conflicts) to the Morladron-Sylvania wars, where he became one of the few Sylvanian citizens that also held Citizenship, and even a government role in Morladron; having been a member of its judiciary before relations broke down. While he was able to somewhat remedy the broken relations between the two adversaries, it ultimately was to no avail as war broke out between Morladron and Sylvania just after New Years 2023. Ironically, Fusionia was partially responsible for the breakout. He had led what many described as a "terrorist" attack on Porthnegys, then capital of Morladron on New Years Day. Utilizing the early "Meow Battalion", which at the time was a project of Fusionia (later to be handled by Fawkes), several foreign nationals including some from the USSE were brutally slaughtered, the hockey arena was also covered in Bamboo shoots. Throughout the war, Fusionia was unable to really take action to stop it, even with his sometimes public disapproval of the war. For months after, people often joked that Fusionia was a "Morlie Spy".

In February, a few particular things happened that would set up Fusionia to become one of the major figures in Castellum, and that would put him on the path towards becoming a major player in Miyenxin. As of February 11th, Logui had increasingly (WIP)

Early Life (Qiutan Period)
Tenaru's origins is shrouded in mystery, it is said that she is a descendant of the legendary "Honghuli" Fox spirit who had descended down to the mortal realm to be with her lover, although Tenaru hasn't ever confirmed this herself; if anything, she has deliberately kept her background largely a secret, and most can only guess on her background origins from official records throughout the ages.

Tenaru was born somewhere around 10-25 TE in and around the area surrounding modern Narayako, and is said to have been born into what has been said to be a "relatively modest" family, although her parents origins and background are even less known than Tenaru herself. She grew up to be an artisan and a silkwover, later gaining a modest despite the relative poverty that the area had at the time. However, she unfortunately was born in a chaotic time; as the first moves by the Transardacians-Voclarians, and later the Imperial Aristii were made into the area.

However, unlike many of her brethren, she instead decided to stay behind in Isollarium, despite apparently having been aware of the great danger of staying in the area; alongside some of her fellow compatriots and known ones, she managed to keep her people alive during the brief, but impactful Imperial Aristii occupation of Isollarium.

After the Imperial Aristii left the island as it became far too strenuous to keep an active presence in the north, Tenaru and her followers re-emerged from the forests, only to find many of their homes and buildings in severe disrepair; this forever impacted her view on the Imperial Aristii, as now she only saw them as the "invaders" who had forced them underground and had allowed her home to go into disrepair; it wouldn't do.

However, she had other things to worry about, many of her follower's trust in her began to wane, as starvation and famine was striking the Kasitai region during this trade, and the once bustling trade routes on the Voclarian Sea had largely dried up; so therefor, the long journey towards keeping herself; and the village she cared the most about alive began in earnest.

Republican Revolution
Outside of Tenaru's bubble in Isollarium, the wider Aristii world was tearing itself apart, with Otto Olea of the Empire of Aristios failing to properly govern his own country, and using authoritarian tactics to maintain his own rule; many of the oppressed peoples across Aristios began an uprising, which would be the death kneel of the Empire of Aristios, and leading to the formation of an Aristii Republic. What followed was the virtual complete abolition of all restrictions emplaced onto the Catfolk & Foxfolk, and finally; for the first time in decades, they could breathe easily.

However, news of this didn't arrive to Tenaru herself immediately, as at the time, communication relied heavily on riders & messengers, which took some time to arrive to a faraway location such as Narayako. And due to a history of over-protectionism and a heavy dislike for the Aristii Government, it took some time to actually give the news to Tenaru, who; finally, believed that she could rest easy, and that she would no longer face any pressure from the central government to relocate and assimilate, but this wouldn't be the last time she'd have difficulties with the central government.

A few decades after the republican revolution, increasing centralization by the Republican Government eventually forced Tenaru to come to terms with the fact she'd have to cooperate actively with the government that, in her mind; had a history of oppressing her followers. But, with the deposing of the Olea Dynasty, and the abolition of the Imperial laws, she finally felt more comfortable to negotiate with the authorities, who, at the time; was led by the legendary Logui Fielinya Olmero, who was the longtime governor of Castellum and mayor of Pompaelo. Through a series of exchanges, a deal was met, and this was truly the beginning of written history for Tenaru, and no longer would she be considered an "outcast" in the wilderness.

Early Mayorship of Narayako
Tenaru's political career didn't quite start until after her negotiations with Logui Fielinya Olmero of the Castellum Province, where she was made the "Mayor" of Narayako, which later on became the official name for the town. For the first few years, her political career was uneventful; however, something would indefinitely change her political path for good, something that, at the time; she couldn't control.

Sylvanian Castellum & Rise to Power
During the waning Republic, constant internal conflict between the eastern and western portions of Aristios was threatening to tear the entire nation apart, and eventually; it truly did. Logui, who was still the governor of Castellum, growing ever more frustrated of the situation in his beloved country; finally decided enough was enough, and announced that Castellum was sceeding from the Republic of Aristios, and would be joining the still young, but stable Sylvania; this, would have ramifications for not only all of Aristios, but Tenaru herself.

Tenaru, in a few later conversations and throughout her life has supported Logui's decision on the matter, with her stating that the situation in Aristios would've been "unbearable" for the governor, and that it was the best decision for the longevity of the province. However, during that same time she was still all but a simple mayor, but things would gradually begin to change over the next few years and decades, where she would finally get her shot to rise to the top, and finally represent her people.
