Primand Nuir

Pickaxe is a Fire Elf who was born in the Rathnirian continent of Ummarnu. He has a outspoken and loyal personality, and is quite ambitious. He currently lives in the capital city New Sybada, of nation of Exousia, in Eldham. He is interested in Geography, History, Politics, and Science.

In Rathnir
Pickaxe was born 42 years ago in Rathnir, in the continent of Ummarnu. He was born into a clan of Fire Elves, and at the young age of 14, he was already a great traveller, and began exploring the lands and seas. On one such trip, when he was 21 years old he came to a cold, barren land in Eastern Sørligste, and got stranded in the bitter cold, which he was not used to. He would have perished if not for the help of a native called Cofa. Cofa took him into his cabin, and they soon became quick friends. Due to a very long winter, they stayed at Cofa's home for almost 2 years. When Pickaxe returned to his home, what he saw was terrible: the entire village was in ruins, and all of it's inhabitants were gone. It was later discovered that they had somehow incurred the wrath of a god, which led to them all being struck down by his wrath. Pickaxe was filled with grief, and swore never to bow to any deity.

After staying at the ruins for a few days, Pickaxe realized there was nothing left for him in this land other than grief, and decided to go far, far away. He visited Cofa's Cabin again, telling him of all that had transpired at his former home. Cofa offered his condolences, and asked him if he wished to live in Cofa's Cabin. However, Pickaxe denied, stating that he wanted to accomplish something more in his life, something that gave him a purpose. He had heard of a distant supercontinent, Eldham, and decided to take the long trip there.

Exousia
After Pickaxe arrived in Eldham, he began to look for a place to settle. He did not want to settle in one of the big countries, as he would not be of significance there and would not be able to fulfill his ambitious thirst. One day, he met a man called Slimestein, who informed Pickaxe of a relatively small but emerging nation called Exousia. Pickaxe went to it's capital city, New Sybada, along with Slimestein, and thus became one of the first citizens of Exousia. When he arrived, Exousia was still being built, and he helped with some building along with Ashpclay and Slimestein. For a time, he lived peacefully, and although his kleptomanism sometimes got him in trouble with some of the other residents, the next few weeks were relatively uneventful. But then, one of the first major wars in Exousian history occured.

You see, Exousia was founded by two people, Murdius and his son Slimestein. But during the election for who would be Kratoras, or ruler of Exousia, they were pit against each other for the title of King. Slimestein brought some of his friends from other lands into Exousia to turn the vote in his favor, and this led Murdius and his supporters to call it foul play, and this lead to a turn of events which created the Exousian Civil War. Pickaxe, who had been away while this had transpired, was confused as to what truly happened. He initially sided with Slimestein due to him being the one who recruited Pickaxe, even attempting to spy on Murdius and his plans, but after he realized Slimestein had basically rigged the vote, and most of the older and more experienced citizens had sided with Murdius, he decided to stay neutral but passively support Murdius. The Civil war was won by Murdius and Slimestein was banished, and eventually created his own nation, Redwing. However, Pickaxe always had a soft side for Slimestein since he was the one who gave him a home.

Pickaxe was a very outspoken fellow, and sometimes to the extent of foolishness. He had heard of the Goonists, a group of hardcore PVP-ers who he thought of as "fanatic thugs", as they always chanted "All hail ErrorL". One day, he mocked ErrorL and denounced Goonism. When ErrorL heard of this, he was outraged at the disrespect and decided to teach Pickaxe a lesson. He learned of Pickaxe's location in New Sybada and set out with his raiders. Once they reached, Pickaxe heard the sounds of battle going on nearby. He sneaked towards it and saw that the Exousians, including the Prince, Vyani, had been crushed in combat and taken hostage. ErrorL shouted for Pickaxe to come out of hiding or he would slay all of them. Pickaxe, seeing as he had no other choice, hesitantly emerged from his hiding place and surrendered himself. ErrorL punished Pickaxe by running him through with his Netherite sword. It almost killed Pickaxe, but due to his Elven characteristics he managed to heal just enough to stay alive. ErrorL then left New Sybada, and almost all of the Exousians hated Pickaxe for the next few weeks, blaming him for the disastrous raid on their capital. Soon, however, another player named Quasai's even more foolish actions diverted their attention. Quasai was similar to Pickaxe, ambitious and outspoken. He openly stated that he would become the next Kratoras, and he almost started another war with ErrorL. He insulted the Olea family who ruled over Exousia, and finally was deemed a national threat and banished.

Silox, one of the High Councillers of Exousia, was on a diplomatic visit to Redwing one day along with some other Exousians, but somehow things got heated and led to a fight, with Silox injuring many of the Redwing diplomats. Redwing was under the vassalship of Altechia at the time, so Altechia prepared to raid Exousia to avenge this insult. Silox learned of the incoming raid and rallied a group of Exousians to defend the city. Two of his mercanary allies came, along with Chuen the Baker, Pickaxe, and 1 other citizen. The attacking force was strong in numbers, led by Swerking, but Silox and his mercenaries were exceptionally skilled. They managed to rout the troops of Altechia and Redwing and force them into peace negotiations.

In one of of his more recent travels, Pickaxe went to a new nation called Grestin at the behest of it's Duke, Crad, whom Pickaxe had earlier befriended. He helped build some roads and houses and was awarded with the position of senator for his help.

Chaos Authority
When Pickaxe learned of the rise of Segra in Rathnir and Eldham, and how many people had joined her side, Pickaxe decided to help in the resistance against her, honoring his vow to never bow to a god, especially not an evil one with malicious intentions. He therefore joined one of the leading Anti-Segra organizations, and applied as an Agent. He has killed many Skeleton Knights in the wild.

Appearance
Pickaxe has a tan skin color, red and orange eyes, and a relatively short stature of 5' 2". He has a youthlike appearance, and often wears a bright orange mask made of a powerful metal found deep under his home continent of Ummarnu. He wears a scabbard to house his main weapon, a Fire-Enchanted Cutlass. His casual wear includes a red jacket and black pants, While an agent, he wears a black cloak, and as a miner he dons a blue jacket, black pants and gloves.

Personality
Pickaxe has an outspoken, witty, and confident personality, and is very open about his feelings. He would die for a friend and kill an enemy unhesitatingly, and is very loyal to people close to him, especially his best friend, Cofa. He loves adventure and battle and joined the Chaos Authority and the Vulperium Adventurer's guild to satiate his hunger for these activities. Most of the time, he is good natured, joking around and very friendly. He is also quite ambitious, and often tries to get his nation, Exousia to take the steps to become a stronger country, such as with war and taking more land. The higher ups in the government deny these requests, countering it by saying that it would just result in their reputation going down. Pickaxe is a decent PVP-er, mostly using an enchanted Cutlass in battle and a shield with the Exousian Banner on it. He also has a powerful bow which he uses to attack enemies from afar. He also has reasonable diplomatic ability, and political skill as well as great knowledge of History due to his travels.
