Vert Haricoville-Curassier

 Vert Haricoville-Curassier	 is a Dryad who previously suffered from the rare disease, Decay which caused him to lose his memories. This memory loss reached a point where he left his old dryad tribes and wandered until he came upon the gates of a young yet Developed Esaqu where the emperor of the time, Henri Curassier or the descendant of Augustus Vespian Curassier, "Henri Curassier".

Biology
Vert was originally born a mix of the Meyderlie and Shylie Dryad sub-species somewhere in Sparwood, likely inside castellan land. After having memopry loss due to decay, Vert would find himself in Esaqu.

Being from a mix of the Shylie and the Meyderlie, Vert has no actual skin but is made partially of a stone-like material with the rest having grown to be the telltale green of the dryads, an evolutionary outlier, Vert has managed to collect traits from both species allowing him to take a humanoid form which due to decay - is slowly reverting back to the plant form

Early life
In the heart of the Tundras and Ice Spikes, where the everlasting winters held sway, there lived a being like no other. Vert, descended from a rare mix of Shylie and Meyderlie, bore a body that defied the norms of their respective species. His skin, once a blend of lush green and stone, was a testament to his unique heritage.

As a child, Vert's existence puzzled his elders. He could take on a humanoid form, a trait more common among Meyderlie, but the subtle decay in his stone-like flesh hinted at an inevitable return to his plant form. While he struggled to find his place in the colony of Meyderlie, who thrived in large, interconnected groups, Vert felt a longing for the solitude and underground life of the Shylie.

One fateful day, when the winter winds howled and the frost crept deeper into the Tundras, Vert made a choice that would shape his destiny. He left the Meyderlie colony behind and ventured into the caverns where the Shylie dwelled. It was there, amidst the rocky walls and the soft glow of the glow berries, that Vert found a sense of belonging.

Among the Shylie, Vert learned the art of camouflage, blending seamlessly with the cave walls. He discovered the secrets of tapping into the earth's nutrients through his roots, thriving in isolation. With time, he grew both physically and spiritually, forming a deep bond with the Shylie who had accepted him as one of their own.

As Vert delved deeper into the life of the Shylie, he found himself truly at home among these reclusive beings. The camaraderie he developed with the Shylie was unlike anything he had ever experienced. They shared their wisdom about the underground world, teaching him how to harness the subtle energy of the glow berries to sustain himself when nutrients from the soil were scarce.

But as Vert embraced his new life among the Shylie, the decay that had lingered in his stone-like flesh began to advance. His skin, once a vibrant blend of green and stone, turned pale and brittle before the moss that covered his face reverted to a mud-like form. The slow but steady decline of his body worried his newfound friends. They rallied together, pooling their knowledge of ancient herbal remedies and the healing properties of the cavern's unique flora to try and halt the decay's progress.

Despite their efforts, Vert's memory began to deteriorate. It was as if the very essence of his being was being consumed by the disease. He struggled to recall his life among the Meyderlie and the colony he had left behind. The moments of his childhood, filled with questions about his unique heritage, became fragments in a fading memory.

Still, Vert remained resolute. He knew that the Shylie had given him a sense of belonging he had never known before. In their underground sanctuary, he was not defined by his mixed heritage or the encroaching decay. He had become one with the subterranean world, a part of its ancient rhythms and mysteries.

As the seasons turned and the caverns whispered their timeless secrets, Vert's existence became a poignant symbol of resilience and adaptation. He might not have found a cure for the decay that threatened to claim him, but he had found a family among the Shylie who embraced him as one of their own, regardless of the challenges he faced. And in that acceptance, Vert discovered a profound sense of purpose and identity, even as his memories continued to fade into the depths of the earth.

However, his memories continued to fade, and he found himself remembering his previous families less and less, causing immense confusion. He often found himself wandering through the lands of Sparwood - looking for something not even there. And that was what led him eventually to the gates of Esaqu before he collapsed.

Esaqu
Vert's life took an unexpected turn when he was discovered at the assumed age of 20 near the entrance of Esaqu. A kind-hearted emperor welcomed him into the community, providing him with a place to live and a sense of belonging. As time passed, Vert developed a keen interest in the art of brewing alcoholic beverages and began experimenting with different drinks.

Filled with excitement, Vert hurriedly went to Henri's palace, eager to showcase the fruits of his labour. However, Henri, the emperor, noticed something peculiar about one side of Vert's face—it had an unusual, dirt-like texture. Concerned for Vert's well-being, Henri promptly sent him to the Medbay for examination.

To their dismay, the doctors revealed that Vert was afflicted with an exceedingly rare and seemingly incurable condition. This affliction caused his body to gradually transform into dirt. Overwhelmed by despair, Vert hastily made his way to the royal bridge with the intention of ending his suffering through drastic measures.

Fortunately, Henri intervened just in time. The compassionate emperor managed to persuade Vert to confront his condition and endure the accompanying pain. As a gesture of support, Henri offered Vert a position in the army, providing him with a sense of purpose and distraction from his affliction.

As Vert's thoughts swirled one cool winter morning, he realized with a start that he didn’t actually know how he got to the gates of Esaqu, so he went on a reflective walk through the towering forests of east Sparwood, the ancient giants loomed above him, and as he stared idly at a lake - watching the fish dart around the cool icy lake, he thought that he should consult Henri about his past, for so far in this world he seemed to have but j true friend.

Vert entered the palace, greeting Henri on his way in. After a little chatting, he brought up the main topic of his visit. Henri heard out Vert and notified him that he was unfortunately unaware of how Vert reached the gates of Esaqu. He did, however, recommend that Vert should give it some time and not worry about it too much. Vert left soon after this, both disappointed yet grateful for the Emperor's advice. He supposed it was possible that his amnesia would subside given more time, though he couldn't help but feel a bit confused as when he arrived at Esaqu, he somehow knew how to speak and all of the basics but very little else. Perhaps if he carried out a variety of activities, one would spark his memory?

Military career
So to distract himself, Vert delved into his newfound position as a member of the Yvres military. After a few weeks of training, he found himself getting speedy promotions due to his natural efficiency and methodical thinking, which allowed him to plan out the best strategies to use in many situations. His speedy promotions came to a sudden halt when he reached the rank of Sous-Lieutenant. He was faced with a new challenge: the training of a new soldier.

Vert's life had taken a series of unexpected turns, from his origins as Vert, a being with a unique blend of Shylie and Meyderlie heritage, to his arrival at the gates of Esaqu and his subsequent journey as a member of the Yvres military. Despite the fading memories of his past, he had found a sense of purpose and friendship in this new chapter of his life.

As Vert settled into his role as a Sous-Lieutenant in the Yvres military, he faced a fresh challenge - the training of a new soldier. It was a responsibility that required not only his tactical prowess but also his ability to impart knowledge and skills to a novice. Vert approached this task with the same determination and diligence that had earned him rapid promotions in the first place.

He took the young recruit under his wing, teaching them the art of strategy, combat tactics, and the importance of discipline. Vert's methodical thinking and ability to plan out effective strategies proved invaluable in shaping the new soldier's abilities. They trained together in the harsh winter landscape of Sparwood, honing their skills and forging a strong bond.

As the days turned into weeks and months, Vert's focus on training began to bear fruit. The recruit showed remarkable progress, a testament to Vert's dedication as a mentor. Their skills in combat improved, and they grew more confident in their abilities. The camaraderie they developed mirrored the bonds Vert had formed with the Shylie and later with Emperor Henri.

In the midst of his training duties, Vert continued to grapple with his amnesia. The mystery of how he had arrived at the gates of Esaqu and the fading memories of his past still weighed on his mind. He followed Henri's advice, allowing time to pass and hoping that his lost memories would eventually resurface. Meanwhile, he immersed himself in the daily routines of military life, finding solace in his responsibilities and the friendships he was building.

Vert's journey from a being with a unique heritage and a fading past to a respected member of the Yvres military was a testament to his resilience and adaptability. He had faced challenges and uncertainties along the way but had always managed to find a sense of purpose and belonging in the communities he joined. As he continued to train the new soldier and navigate the complexities of his own identity, he remained hopeful that one day, the missing pieces of his past would be revealed.

After successfully training the new soldier and witnessing their growth into a skilled and confident member of the Yvres military, Vert's dedication and leadership qualities did not go unnoticed. He was promoted to the rank of Capitaine, a significant milestone in his military career. This promotion came as recognition of his exceptional strategic thinking, methodical approach to problem-solving, and his ability to inspire and lead his fellow soldiers.

As a Capitaine, Vert assumed greater responsibilities within the Yvres military. He was tasked with not only leading his own unit but also assisting in planning and executing larger-scale operations. His calm demeanor and analytical mindset made him a valuable asset in the field, where quick thinking and effective decision-making were often the keys to success.

Despite his rise in rank and responsibilities, Vert remained humble and approachable. He continued to mentor and guide new recruits, ensuring that the knowledge and skills he had acquired were passed on to the next generation of soldiers. His commitment to the well-being of his comrades and his dedication to the mission earned him the respect and admiration of those under his command.

While Vert's military career flourished, the mystery of his past still lingered in the background. His amnesia remained a perplexing enigma, and he couldn't shake the desire to uncover the missing pieces of his history. In quiet moments, he would contemplate his origins and the circumstances that had brought him to Esaqu.

Vert's life had transformed from the enigmatic being named Vert, descended from a mix of the Shylie and the Meyderlie, to Capitaine Vert, a respected leader within the Yvres military. Yet, the journey of self-discovery and the quest to reclaim his lost memories continued to be a part of his ongoing narrative, even as he excelled in his new role and found a sense of belonging within the Esaqu community.

Dating/Marriage
Vert's visits to the Cuirassier household became a regular occurrence as he spent time talking to Claude and getting to know the other members of the Blu-Tack Man family. Among them, Lira, with her unique appearance and captivating personality, stood out to Vert in a way he had not anticipated.

Lira, possessing a face unlike the other Blu-Tack Men, exuded a charm that drew Vert in. Her playful yet deadly nature added an intriguing layer to her character, and Vert found himself falling for her in a way that transcended his previous experiences. It was as if the mystery and allure of her presence spoke to something deep within him.

As their interactions continued, Vert and Lira's connection grew stronger. They shared stories, laughter, and moments of quiet reflection together. Vert admired Lira's strength and resilience, and he felt a sense of warmth and belonging in her presence that he had rarely experienced before.

Their relationship blossomed amidst the backdrop of Esaqu, a place that had become Vert's second home. The two of them found solace and comfort in each other's company, and Vert couldn't help but be captivated by the woman who had stolen his heart.

In the absence of Emperor Henri, Vert and Lira's bond deepened, and their love for each other continued to grow. Vert's journey, from an enigmatic being with fading memories to a respected leader in the Yvres military, had taken an unexpected turn as he found love and companionship in the most unlikely of places.

As Vert and Lira's love story unfolded, it became a testament to the enduring power of connection and the ability to find love and acceptance even in the most unconventional circumstances. Their relationship added a new chapter to Vert's life, one filled with love, hope, and the promise of a future together in the ever-evolving city of Esaqu.

Vert and Lira's love had blossomed and deepened over the course of several months, and they decided it was time to take the next step in their relationship. With hearts full of love and a strong desire to formalize their commitment to each other, they made the decision to marry in a beautiful ceremony held at the church in Esaqu.

The ceremony was conducted by Cardinal Fazen, a prominent figure within the Orthodoxy of Light Incarnate. As they stood before the altar of the holy furnace, surrounded by friends and well-wishers from the Esaqu and Grand-Castell Lozhar communities alike, Vert and Lira exchanged vows that reflected their deep love and devotion to each other. The church was filled with an atmosphere of joy and celebration as the couple exchanged rings as symbols of their commitment. The words spoken by Cardinal Fazen resonated with the gathered crowd, emphasizing the significance of love, unity, and the bonds that bring people together.

As Vert and Lira exchanged their vows and were pronounced husband and wife, a wave of happiness and love washed over them and the congregation. However, their joy was short-lived as Vert's health took a sudden and alarming turn for the worse.

Vert, who had been battling the mysterious decay in his stone-like flesh for so long, collapsed right there at the altar. The patch of moss on his face had worsened, and the decay had intensified, taking a toll on his fragile form. Gasps of shock and concern echoed through the church as the congregation realized the gravity of the situation.

Lira, filled with panic and fear, rushed to Vert's side, cradling him in her arms. Tears welled up in her eyes as she pleaded for help from anyone who could offer it. The Cardinal, Fazen, immediately began to assess Vert's condition, calling for medical assistance from the congregation.

The once-celebratory atmosphere in the church had turned somber and tense as everyone watched with bated breath, hoping for a miracle that would save Vert's life. The couple, who had just exchanged their vows of love and commitment, now faced an uncertain and perilous future. The fate of Vert, and the love story he had shared with Lira, hung in the balance, and the congregation could only hope that they could find some way to save him from the relentless decay that threatened to consume him.
