Yatuka Lhamaj’i-Olea

Yatuka Lhamaj’i-Olea is a Vulpur known for their feats across Eldham such as founding the Bibshmibbian Liberal Party. His location of birth is still unknown but the first time he was seen was when he was a cub left on the doorstep of the Lhamaj’i-Olea Royal Palace in Havoana'roa-renaj (Limuria's capital) on the 2nd Of July 15 years B.M.M. (Before Mass Migration of Eldham). He was to be given a home in a Vulpur settlement however before it was arranged, Foe-lelan Lhamaj’i-Olea (Radioblade) volunteered to raise the child himself with his wife Zo-yana Lhamaj’i-Olea. His adoption was a very controversial moment in Limuria's history as many Limuiran's believed that no species other than the lemurfolk should have a place in the Limurian royal family. After public outrage it was decided that since he has no blood relation to the Lhamaj’i-Olea royal family, he would not be an eligible heir to the throne.

Physical Appearance
Yatuka Lhamaj’i-Olea is a Vulpur with dark orange fur. His fur contains dark markings down his lower back which, in Vulpur kind, are usually a direct inheritance from your parents. The Limurian Royal Dynasty attempted to use these markings to try and trace back and discover who his parents were however these attempts were unsuccessful. He is 5 foot and 9 inches in height with a slim build with a short and fluffy tail. He weighs approximately 115 pounds (which is around 306 hamburgers) and his nose is short and stubby and doesn't extend too far from his face.

Clothing
Yatuka Lhamaj’i-Olea does not restrict himself to one outfit and often changes the clothes he wears according to the situations he finds himself in however he mostly wears a pirate frock coat, a matching pirate hat, black leather boots with golden buttons, brown breeches, a tough dark brown belt, brown leather gloves and a white shirt underneath his jacket.

He has also been known to ware a large and warm jacket with a large fur rim around its hood in colder climates such as Elastra. This jacket is often accompanied by a woollen cap, large spiked boots, thick brown gloves and a utility bag holding all sorts of survival gear and supplies.

Common Outfits
While seeing him in different outfits is common it is rare to see him wearing something not related to the sea or navy. He'll often wear pirate attire in most climates, even when it is in efficient and counter productive. Since a child he has had a strong calling to the sea and is why he is a skilled in the use sail boats and other sea faring vehicles.

Infancy
On the 2nd Of July 15 years B.M.M. (Before Mass Migration of Eldham) crows began circling the skies of Limuria's capital Havoana'roa-renaj and a terrible storm hit against the mountains above. Bad omen and anxiety began to be the topic of citizen's conversations. As citizens were packing up their shops, trying to hide their stocks from the ferocious rain, or rushing to get their children home while they were out playing, Foe-lelan Lhamaj’i-Olea, Prince of the famed Lhamaj’i-Olea Limurian Royal Dynasty walked through the drenched streets holding his hood tight round his head, on his way back to the Lhamaj’i-Olea Royal Palace.

As he arrived at the stairs he noticed a white bundle left soaked on the ground at the bottom. He carefully picked it up and to his surprise it was a baby. What surprised him the most was that it was a Vulpur child. He decided to take it up to the palace so it wouldn't freeze out in the cold.

Foe-lelan held him carefully in his arms as he walked up the steps and through the main door of the palace. Upon his arrival royal servants approached him. While the child was fed and washed Foe-lelan oversaw a royal staff meeting where they discussed what they would do with the child. As he watched his wife Zo-yana Lhamaj’i-Olea pulled him aside. They both had been discussing having a child beforehand and Zo-yana believed they should take the opportunity which had literally appeared upon their doorstep. After little convincing Foe-lelan agreed to her proposal upon the terms that if the child's true parents were discovered and they wanted the child back, they would return it. Foe-lelan interrupted the meeting and made the announcement to the servants currently attending the meeting.

Zo-yana and Foe-lelan raised the baby as planned and no parents were discovered. They both decided to name him "Yatuka" as in Vulpur culture it meant "abundance". The word "abundance" was chosen by Zo-Yana which referred to how the child would have an "abundance" of love from her. There were many attempts to trace Yatuka back to his parents by use of his markings however all attempts by the Limurian Royal Dynasty ended in failure.

Growing Up
Yatuka grew up in the Limurian royal palace and was treated like any other member of the Limurian royal family except for when it came to his involvement in Limurian politics. His adoption was a very controversial moment in Limuria's history as many Limuiran's believed that no species other than the lemurfolk should have a place in the Limurian royal family. After public outrage it was decided that since he has no blood relation to the Lhamaj’i-Olea royal family, he would not be an eligible heir to the throne. Throughout his life outside of the royal palace's walls he was verbally abused with anti-vulpur slurs and harassed due to his non blood relation to the royal family. Many Limurian citizens were angered that their taxes paid for his accommodation and luxury even when he was technically not a proper member of the Limurian royal family.

He was educated privately in the royal palace and was provided with a healthy diet which lead to him being in good health throughout his entire childhood. Even though he was not to be an heir to the throne of Limuria, Foe-lelan still insisted that he was educated professionally in the same areas that he would be under the assumption he would be an heir one day. He was trained in diplomacy, negotiation and strategy. Foe-lelan would often take Yatuka on diplomatic missions with him which gave him a first hand experience in politics.

After his father left to enforce the Segreta Protocol (Read more about the Segreta Protocol here) Yatuka found himself lonely and bored. He decided to leave Havoana'roa-renaj and go on an expedition to see how other vulpur cultures functioned and looked. Excited to see his people first hand, he snuck out of the city the night his father left for Rathnir. He snuck on a vulpur trading ship and hid below deck until the boat docked in North-East Serrona. He found himself in a vulpur settlement which mostly was built up inside caves. The natives welcomed him, which was new and different for Yatuka due to experiencing racism from the lemurfolk of Limuria all of his life. Yatuka settled down with them for around a month before he heard notice of Limuria falling and Havoana'roa-renaj being the only city left due to the colonisation of Eldham. He was sure that his father would have returned to defend his home so Yatuka snuck out of the vulpur settlement at night to make his way to Havoana'roa-renaj as an attempt to see his father once more.

Fall Of Limuria
As Yatuka sailed north to Phoros he seen smoke in the sky and corpses floating in the water. He sailed through the wreckages and bodies left behind by naval conflict between Eldhamite natives and Rathnirian colonists. He dismounted the small sailboat at the beaches north of Havoana'roa-renaj and soon enough found himself at the towering walls of Havoana'roa-renaj's defences and fortifications.

Emancipation Of Bibshmibbia
After the controversial merging of the Zamotz Union and Aristios to form Zamotz-Aristios the many of the Zamotz Union's provinces emancipated themselves from what used to be the Zamotz Union and reformed the nation of Bibshmibbia. The two most prominent of these provinces being Nova Bibshmibbia and Kolnor. These two provinces operated under one primary government which would hold an election to choose which political ideology and governing style would suit them best on the 5th of April 2022. Yatuka Lhamaj’i-Olea (One of Kolnor's political leaders) who at the time didn't intend to run for the election wasn't sure how long this unsteady government would last. He predicted that Kolnor would declare its sovereignty not too long after the forming of the nation. However after a meeting with other Kolnor officials the general opinion was that Kolnor would stay with Bibshmibbia for at least another month.

Rise of Communism In Bibshmibbia
Yatuka Lhamaj’i-Olea before didn't intend to vote due to a lack of investment into the nation, now had a reason to care. As if Kolnor intended to stay with Bibshmibbia, he wanted it to be a steady and stable nation to govern. He looked through the selection of political parties such as the CCP (Cheese Confederation Party and the BCP (Bibshimmbian Communist Party). After seeing rising support for a communist movement Yatuka Lhamaj’i-Olea decided to seek a meeting with the party's leader, who argued "My communist party is different. I will be using communist the way it should be used", to discuss what his "better" version of communism would entail. He disagreed with the structure of the  hypothetical government the BCP had explained to him. He seen the BCP as "criminally unaware" and was angered that they would have a chance to run the nation. They ignored the fact that Kolnor's national religion, the Stone Path, was an inherently capitalist religion and that Kolnor was religiously capitalist. When Yatuka Lhamaj’i-Olea confronted them with this information they stated, "Then we will allow them to be capitalist." This made Yatuka Lhamaj’i-Olea fully convinced that the BCP did not have the political knowledge nor the political experience. The statement emphasised just how flawed this system of government would be if the BCP were allowed to take power. He doubted that the BCP could implement a communist and capitalist government into Bibshmibbia. After a heated debate over why his version of communism wouldn't work Yatuka Lhamaj’i-Olea knew that if he wanted to ensure communism didn't rise he would need to take matters into his own hands.

Liberal Party's Founding
On the 30th of March 2022 Yatuka Lhamaj’i-Olea decided to create a party called the Bibshmibbian Liberal Party as a combatant of rising communist ideology in Bibshmibbia. It would value one's freedom above all else which he believed that the BCP didn't focus on enough. It would also be very capitalist to adhere to the religiously capitalist Kolnor by following the political ideology of Economic Liberalism. Yatuka Lhamaj’i-Olea developed the motto "Freedom is Progress" and drafted up a simple logo; the parties name enveloped in two red lines, each line representing one of the two states; Nova Bibshmibbia and Kolnor. At this time another leader of Kolnor decided to join the run as well creating the BEZTC Party (Bibshmibbian East Zamotz Trading Company Party) as another party. The BEZTC shared similar ideals to the BLP (Bibsmibbian Liberal Party) such as their emphasis on maintaining capitalism and being anti-communist.
