Kami

Kami Aurelian-Tyranius, or just Kami, is an Uraki noble, a renowned warrior, a legendary fisherman, and a devout follower of Yoshism; he is the current wielder of the sword Soulyoinker, and the trident Big Fork. After his incorporation into the royal family of Neo Aurelian, he became a personal weapon of the Uraki Imperium, and wandered the land of Eldham with numerous friends.

Kami utilizes a special fighting technique in combat, wielding a sword in one hand, and a trident in the other; incredibly agile, he dances around the field of battle, stabbing and slashing his enemies before they even have a chance to strike back, and possesses an array of powerful potions to heighten his abilities even further when needed.

Early Life
Kami's parents, an unknown couple who passed through town after town in Leifmyrr, abandoned Kami in a township within the Mercurian Republic shortly after he was born; the reason why is still a mystery, but assumed to have been a bandit attack. The early colonial period of Eldham was the golden age of banditry - few were spared from their marauding.

Kami was essentially an orphan, but was not alone. The people of Mercury looked after him, and treated him as if he were their own kin, though the boy still harbored a grudge against his parents for leaving him, and envied those with 'real' mothers and fathers. He eventually moved Mercurian capital city of Maia, and was taught to fish, how to spar, and the art of cartography, which broadened his horizons to all of Eldham. However, circumstance and poverty kept him from pursuing his dreams, and he honed his skills until a chance meeting with the Imperator of Uraka, Neo Aurelian, changed his life forever.

Introduction to Uraka
On a diplomatic visit to the Chancellor of Mercury, Merc, Neo Aurelian was introduced to Kami. After observing the young man, Neo invited him to accompany him on a tour of the capital city of Urak during the height of the Errine Alliance. Hesitant at first, Kami was persuaded by Merc, and the following day, Neo returned to Urak with him at his side. There, Kami was introduced to Alaina, a wife of the Imperator, and the three walked the streets of Urak discussing their lives. Upon learning that Kami had been parentless all his life, Neo and Alaina, now quite fond of the boy, agreed to adopt him, making him their son, though they shared no biological relation, and he would not be a legitimate heir to the throne.

Working for his father, Kami proved to be a formidable warrior, and quickly acclimated to his new environment, though he still had dreams of traveling the world, mapping his adventures and making legendary memories; one mysterious figure he met and quickly befriended, a capitalist zealot known as Walmart, would join Kami on his travels, as the two sailed west out of the bay of Urak towards the setting sun.

Kami's Odyssey
As a violent storm rocked their vessel, Kami and Walmart managed to cross the continent of Phoros, arriving in northern Anglunia. They were introduced to the processes of cheesemaking, and the two shared stories with the artisans of the Cheese Guild in exchange for lodging and rations. However, their stay was cut short when pirates attacked Mirau, the region of Anglunia they found themselves in. Kami and Walmart set sail again, evading pirate convoys and defending themselves from boarding parties until, after nearly a week of peril, the two found a secluded house, which they inspected, and found it to be safe. The pair spent a comfortable night in the home, Kami working on his map, adding the Cheese Guild and this strange building to it before drifting off to sleep - when the duo tried to return to the home later, they found the house to be gone, and Kami's map had been changed, showing an empty field.

Pressing on, the pair ventured farther from home, and while staying in a tavern one night, Kami overheard rumors that an infamous bandit, GamingDerp, had been sighted in the area. Looking to make a name for himself, Kami snuck out of the tavern that night while Walmart slept, and tracked GamingDerp to a nearby village, where the two fought under the light of a full moon. Both warriors of exceptional skill, the battle was fast and tense; Kami, overconfident, slashed forward, slicing the bandit in the side, a grievous wound. However, GamingDerp persevered through the pain, stabbing Kami in the back with his blade, Soulstealer, siphoning his soul as he withdrew the sword, an eldritch glow emanating from the weapon.

It began to rain - GamingDerp, bleeding from his abdomen, fled with Kami's coinpurse, leaving him to die in the town square. As the bandit slipped away into the night, Walmart arrived, distraught at the state of his friend. Using a Walmart Brand™ healing potion, the wound was restored, and Kami got to his feet, a sheathed blade on the ground before him - another of GamingDerp's cursed swords, Soulyoinker, cut loose from the bandit's belt, which Kami now decided to wield as his own.

After taking a few days to recover, Walmart unfortunately had to leave Kami, as he had a shareholder conference to attend, but he imparted in his friend the great words of Sam, his patron deity, before his departure. Now alone, Kami decided to pursue another legend - he resolved to kill a Wither, but knew he needed a partner. He wandered the northwest of Eldham for weeks before he was approached by the enigmatic business tycoon GarriGoyle, who agreed to help him slay the creature. The two fought the abomination for a full day and night before it fell, the corrupted soul captured within the runed blade Soulyoinker, and the pair said a bittersweet goodbye as Kami set off once more.

Kami returned to Uraka with tales and maps of his journey, and served in several wars around Eldham, namely the Majestia War and the War of the Black Flag. When a cult of vampires imposed an eternal night upon Eldham, Kami joined the crusade with his father, Neo, to return the sun to the sky, slaying many undead in the process.

Marriage and Children
Kami is married to Cupa_Creeper_, an Uraki Princess of House Tyranius, and as a couple, they adopted a son together, Bottom.

Neo and His Wives
Imperator Neo Aurelian's promiscuity is, by now, a frequent topic in almost every nation in Eldham - he has wives and husbands, if not relatives of some sort, across both Eldham and Rathnir. Neo spends large amounts of the Uraki treasury on courting his many partners, which in any other economy would be devastating. What is less frequently discussed is Neo's alleged alcoholism, which drove him to fits of rage where he rampages around Urak for hours upon end, attacking anyone he sees. Despite his father's problems, Kami still loves him, and fights in the name of the Imperium under his father's command.
