NattyNuke

NattyNuke is new to the world of Rathnir, joining in mid march of 2021, he eagerly settled his tribe, the Caeda, in Theios-Essukdal. After nearly an hour of negotiations, House Caeda was finally formed, and with it his town of Hiroka-Lani was formed as well. Little is known about NattyNuke and his tribe, but he is well spoken and usually polite. He avoids conflicts, not out of fear or idealism, but because he thinks it pointless for him or his tribe to participate. He is a decent statesman and can manage a small plot of land. NattyNuke is of Caedan Culture. NattyNuke has a problem where he says 'I see' far too much.

Origins
NattyNuke was born roughly 17,000 blocks west of the Western world border. He was born into the Caeda tribe, a people exiled from their homeland, and forced to wander. The Caeda had set their sights on Yimmu-Audol, having heard stories of it from travelers, though the name had been misinterpreted as "Yumi Aadul." At the age of 4, NattyNuke began to learn how to hunt. While practicing alone, he was toyed with by Baat, the Caeda's cold deity. Baat temporarly blinded NattyNuke's right eye, leaving a permanent cataract. Life was mostly uneventful, allowing for him to have a rather normal nomadic childhood. Though soon after entering Rathnir at age 20, the Caeda tribe nearly fell apart due to bandit attacks, lack of game, and new sicknesses. The Caeda scattered, a main group of remaining Caeda formed in Bardonia, and migrated to Theios-Essukdal.

Warfare
NattyNuke's first real conflict was on 5/16/2021, where he joined a Theios-Essukdal war party and stormed and captured fort Oakcrest from the Rebels in Rhodes after some struggle. He struggled in the combat, and after the dust settled he had sustained many injuries. This battle is where he sustained a large scar on his cheek.

Theology
During the sacrificial events of 4/1/2021, NattyNuke sacrificed the Heart of Baat to Theios. The Heart of Baat was, basically, an ancient god that NattyNuke's tribe used to worship. In sacrifing the heart, he enraged Baat, making Baat even stronger. The heart of Baat came back, but with far more power than the previous one, making Baat even more terrifying. Baat is from the Caedan religion.

NattyNuke is an Inquisitor as well as the owner of Hiroka-Lani. Despite this title, he holds interest in Entropy. Being told since day one in Rathnir how bad Entropy was, he is curios about Entropy. Though it is important not to misunderstand curiosity as adoration, as NattyNuke is very much a believer in Theios, and would sooner return to his pagan ways than worship Entropy.

NattyNuke proposed the angel Reina as one of the angels of Theiosism, more on Reina can be found here.

NattyNuke joined the Theiosian Templar's on 4/11/2021 soon after it's founding. Being the only Templar to have Reina as a patron angel, he was allowed to become the Marshal of Reina. He serve's as both and Inquisitor and a Templar, and has interest in founding his own holy order. Due to prolonged exposure to the heart of Baat, NattyNuke's title of Marshal of Reina was temporarily revoked until the Heart of Baat was secured.

Sentinel Order
After two day's of rough drafting, on 4/14/2021, Natty proposed a revised draft of what he called the Paladin order. After Ecumenical Patriarch LethalMuffin approved the revised draft, the name was changed into the Sentinel Order. The Sentinel orders job is to protect the clergy, defending temples and shrines to Theios and accompanying religious officials on excursions outside of Theios-Essukdal territory. The Sentinels are also tasked with recovering and containing items of interest, such as holy artifacts or demonic items. After founding the Sentinel Order, he was removed from duty as a Templar.

Heart of Baat
During the sacrificial events of 4/1/2021, NattyNuke sacrificed the Heart of Baat to Theios. In Nuown religion, where the Caeda tribe originated, each god was tied to a specific item. Read more on Baat here. Natty, curios about the capabilities of the heart, he conducted some testing. The heart was non reactive to all substances exposed to it. Natty noticed that the longer he held the hear, skin covered or not, the harder it was to part with it. One night Natty was enjoying some strong absinthe that was gifted to him by a friend, the Heart of Baat began to pull him towards the chest it was in. Natty hypothesized that the heart had more influence over individuals under the influence of alcohol.

Clothing
NattyNuke wears traditional Caedan clothing known as Cykla, wearing a thin woolen shirt, baggy woolen trousers bound with leather, and a rawhide poncho. The Caedan clothing style developed this way due to a lack of clothing materials, only having access to sheep's wool and leather from hunted animals.
