Adius Urakki

Early Life
Adius was born in Lileanen into the noble Higaidi family. He was raised there with a relatively normal childhood. From a young age, he had always wanted to see his father, Adius Biblet Higaidi’s Home of Yimmu-Audal. When he was 16, he left his parents to explore the world. He rode from Lileanen up to Simulami, then going down and exploring Yimmu-Audal. When he was 17, his mother was killed by bandits, and he came home to Lileanen to go to her funeral, as well as help his father deal with his depression that followed. Aged 25, He and his father moved to Urnu-Arrak. Apon arrival, they were told the Hands were invading Yimmu-Audal in the town of Sukrath. Adius watched as his father’s face went pale. “Father, who are the hands?” Adius asked. His father turned around to face him, before saying “I’ve fought alongside the Hands before. They are great warriors. Odds are we will probably lose.” His father replied. “I must go and help them.” His father dropped him off at their new home, before rushing to Sukrath to help the army. After almost a day of not hearing from his father, he ran all the way to Sukrath to make sure his father was okay. As he ran over a hill overlooking Sukrath he paused as he saw his father leading a charge down another hill. Adius watched as his father was killed. “No!” He yelled. But all this did was alert the enemies to his presence. He ran all the way home to Urnu-Arrak, where he was adopted into the Arraki (Urakki) family.

The Arakkis, the Adian Journeys, and the beginning of the Charm War
In the Arakkis, Adius quickly became a leader of the family, and becoming a member of the Lower Chamber of the then Duchy of Audal, which would quickly become the ‘Great Chamber’ of Yivaidal. When he got older, he married his childhood friend Leanne, and they had a son, Andrew. He was raised to be kind, but to also stand his ground. As Adius got older, he was told stories of his father when he visited other towns with his family. He went to New Dorasterrock, where he saw his father’s old apartment. He went to Nea Doveria, which his father had apparently owned at one point. There he met GamerGirl, who had been a friend of his father. When he returned to Urnu-Arrak he was told that Charm was invading, and that they were going to attack the Táloran city of Rhodia. With the so-called ‘Biblet Pride’ taking control of him, he geared up and went on the grind to help fund the war effort of Yimmu-Audal. After a couple days on the grind, Adius recieved word that his birth country, Escharia, was aiding charm. Adius felt his very emotions conflicting themselves, torn between his personal homeland and his ancestral one.

Andrew’s Betrayal
It was in the morning that Adius received a letter that Andrew, his own son, had joined Charm. Adius rushed to the Audal-Charm border to confront him. He took Leanne with him, as he thought she could help convince him. Andrew arrived a couple minutes after he did. Andrew and Adius stared at each other from across the Road. “Andrew. What are you doing?” Adius asked. “Father, come with me! We will bring peace! Justice! Our new empire!” Andrew yelled. “Andrew, my allegiance is to Audal, to the Emperor! You are betraying all you’ve ever known!” He continued. Andrew said. Andrew grabbed Leanne, holding his sword to her neck. “Not a step closer, father.” Andrew said. “You wouldn’t dare.” Said Adius, continuing to walk toward Andrew. “So be it.” Andrew said. He moved his sword, slitting the front of Leanne’s throat. Adius’ eyes widened as he watched her fall to the ground. Andrew then turned around and started walking away, holding his sword down. Adius ran over to Leanne. He looked at her eyes, once filled with hope and happiness, now looking lifelessly up into the sky. Adius stood up, facing Andrew, who was just two arms lengths away. “Traitor!” He yelled. Filled with rage, he drew his sword. Andrew said “If you are not with me, then you are in my way.” Andrew turned around slowly, his sword pointing at Adius. “Only a Charmian can be so foolish.” Adius said. “I will do what I must.” Adius looked at Andrew, hate in his eyes. “You will try.” Andrew said. “I have become more powerful since our last lesson, Father.” “I haven’t taught you everything.” Adius said. But Andrew remained confident, raising his sword to nearly touch Adius’. Andrew struck first, but Adius blocked it with ease. He then countered with his own, which was then blocked. The duel went on and on and on, with neither getting the upper hand. The two had fought together for years, and so knew each other’s every move before it was even made. One would swing, and the other would block expertly, followed by a swing of their own. The two were near equals in skill, but Adius had more experience. Neither had shields, and it was just sword meeting sword, in their seemingly endless clash. Adius managed to hit Andrew hard enough that he fell off balance. “Andrew, Charm are conquerors! Invaders!” Adius said. “From my point of view, the Audaladae are the invaders!” Andrew replied. “Then your mind has already been lost!” Adius yelled. He sprung back up to his feet, leaping back up at Adius. They continued to fight, backing up and stepping forward. For almost fifteen minutes, the two swung at each other. It was when Adius saw Andrew beginning to become tired that Adius made his move. He blocked one of Andrew’s swings, before forcing Andrew’s blade down. He chopped off both of Andrew’s hands, before spinning, and hitting his feet. Andrew lay there, yelling in agony, as Adius took Andrew’s sword off of the floor. Adius looked down at Andrew, tears in his eyes and rolling down his cheek. “You were a Arraki!” Adius replied. “You were supposed to help destroy Charm, not join them!” he continued. “Help bring order to Rathnir, not slip it into the hands of evil!” He continued even more. “I hate you!” Andrew screamed. “You are my son, Andrew! I loved you!” Adius replied. He looked away, not being able to bear watching his only son bleed onto the green of the field. “What have I done…” Adius said. He slowly walked away, leaving his oldest and only son to die. Adius shut his eyes, not wanting to think about what had just happened. He had just lost all the family he had worked for. He mounted his horse, tying Leanne’s body to the horse right behind him, and began the long ride home. As he rode into the distance, he heard yelling from a distance. “Adius!” the voice of Andrew cried. “ADIUUUUS!”. On the journey home, Adius pondered. What if the nation he had pledged himself to was truly gone. But he snapped out of it. He decided he would fight for Yimmu-Audal, until it collapses, if it ever does.

The Charm War Begins
Following Andrew’s betrayal and death, Adius went back to Urnu-Arrak, when Audal became Yivaidal and the Lower Chamber, which he was a part of, became the great chamber. He then recieved word that Charm had officially declared war. They were going to attack the Tàloran city of Rhodia. Adius went there, where he helped with defence preperations.

Battle of Rhodia
Adius arrived late to the battle, and so was never geared. When he arrived at Rhodia, he was the only one in Iron, and was joked about for it, and people started saying to “Protect the guy in iron.” But Adius replied “I do not need any protecting.” In the battle, Adius ended up surviving longer than most people with diamond armor. He managed to kill an attacker before taking diamond armor off of his dead body. He knew that there were people who were better at fighting then him, so he brought it to Castle Galus to help the war effort. During the battle, Adius became known for having great callouts, seeing the coords for capture blocks and telling them exactly what direction it was in. Adius bravely went from Rhodia to castle galus multiple times, bringing gear back to castle galus so that it could be used to supply the war effort. Back and forth, back and forth. One one of his trips, he was cornered by Foczo and another attacker, but because Adius had no gear, they decided to let him go. On his next trip, he held off against three attackers with just a stone shovel long enough for reinforcements to arrive. At the end of the day, the Defence was a victory for Yimmu-Audal

Second Battle of Rhodia
Adius once again arrived late to the battle. He once again showed up in iron, causing him to be called “The guy in iron” once more. But this time, one of his brothers, Shuakazy, gave him a set. When the battle started, the forces of Yimmu-Audal were quickly overrun, and Aiden spent a lot of the time hiding in buildings and making supply runs. He knew he wasn’t as good at pvp as most of the enemy forces, but he was good enough to be able to survive. Charm ended up placing many capture blocks in the northeast, which was separated from the rest by mountains. By the end of the battle, the forces of Yimmu-Audal were overrun. Right before the battle ended, Adius built a small tower and stayed in it, using what little arrows and blocks he had to shoot at Charm’s forces. But he was eventually just forced to stay in his tower. His brother, Xenythios, managed to build up to him and they stayed in the tower until the battle ended. About five minutes after the end of the battle, Adius and Xenythios charged alone at the Charm forces, which, predictably, failed, and Yimmu-Audal was forced to retreat from Rhodia.

Fall of Yimmu-Audal
Following Charm signing the peace treaty, it looked as if Yimmu-Audal was saved. But all of them were dead wrong. On Halloween, late at night in Adius’ timezone, Theionikos declared independence, followed by Anosphey. Near immediately, every province in Yimmu-Audal declared independence. Hi Aidan and Taylor merged to form the Utari.

“What I remember most about the collapse of Yimmu-Audal is not that the oldest spcountry on the server was gone, but how quiet it was. Everyone acted as if it was a normal day. None laughed, none cried. Not when Theionikos declared independence, not when Anosphey did, and not when Utari was declared. It was just a flurry of letters, like an old candle going out after being lit a long time.” -Adius Arraki

In mere minutes, Adius had went from serving the great Empire of Yimmu-Audal to serving this new nation, Utari, which didn’t even control all of the territory originally owned by the Yivaidal and Talor provinces. Adius moved out of Utari, leaving his old world behind, for all he had served was gone. Although helping with this new successor state, and becoming good friends with it’s leader, Ratt, Adius mainly stayed in his house in New Dorasterrock which he inherited from his father, and his old home in Lileanen.
