R1ckey

Rickey is the former Helmian military commander, under the Helmian Provisional State and Helmian Federation. He served in the Kyydrosil and Helmian council up until its collapse following the Helmian civil war. Following his disappearance, his town of Arbitor would be seized by the new Helmian Dominate.

Early life
Rickey's origins are relatively unknown, however it is speculated that following the 2021 Halloween event and all its destruction that Rickey winded up being "awakened" by the undead creatures.

Following this, after looting a seemingly purely golden crown (presumably off of a fallen Varandoy-Aesteryian noble) in a scorched town, and being chased throughout Helmia, Rickey would find himself at the border of Kyydrosil outside the port city of Inron.

Upon allowance into the city, the Raajjyns of Kyyodrosil permitted entry and citizenship upon the condition that he would convert to their faith of Noxism, which Rickey would oblige to.

Characteristics
Rickey has a keen sense of social interactions and behavioral patterns, making him a skilled diplomat and merchant.

Despite having no prior fighting experience to his knowledge, it has been demonstrated that he possesses an innate style of sword fighting comparable to the warrior-like culture that Kyydrosil had harbored.

His mask, first a simple wooden war-like mask forged into a proper helmet, has never been taken off in the presence of other people. It is unknown as to what he looks like without the helmet.

He often strikes up conversations with those he finds interesting or unique, similar to his own eccentric and some-what mysterious past.

Kyydrosil
After being granted citizenship, Rickey would find himself in a small overgrowth town, ran by Oxaxefax, a historian of the server. The two quickly built rapport between one another, given that he was one of the first residents of the town.

After construction of his home, Rickey would begin helping Ox with menial tasks throughout the city, and eventually would begin talks with the leader of Kyydrosil, DGWGamer, about national project ideas to improve the lives of Kyydrosillian citizens.

These projects would include railway networks connecting the nation, infrastructural projects in the nether regions which led to Kyydrosil territory, and a marketplace which expanded to regional influence before its discontinuation.

These coordination efforts between Rickey and the other council members of Kyydrosil would eventually lead to his ascension to a council member, and later the leading council member of Helmian military affairs.

Helmia
After a long yet uneasy time of peace, war finally broke out between the State of Kyydrosil and the High Kingdom of Mithra. Mithra was an entity that followed the collapse of the VAK, both of which were feudalistic dynastical forms of government. Following transgressions by both sides, and a seemingly blantant disregard to the Helmians living under Mithran rule, on Janurary 7th with support from Bardonia, Kyydrosil would launch a military offensive to crush Mithra and unify Helmia under the White Lotus banner.

Thanks primarily to Bardonian support, and utter diplomatic incompetence of the Mithrans which led to a large coalition of nations against them, the war was won with no blood needed to be spilt. On Janurary 10th, the High Kingdom of Mithra would dissolve and be incorporated into the new Helmian Provisional State under Bardonian supervision.

Rickey would become the "Grand Praetor" of the Helmian Provisional State, later the Helmian Federation following the fall of Bardonia. This would put him at the head of the nation's military affairs. However, he was not experienced with battle strategy nor commandment of troops.

Helmian-Domusists War
Shortly after the creation of the creation of the Helmian Federation following the collapse of Bardonia, a plot to overthrow the government was formed by the Domusists of Helmia. A religious group focused on a war-like culture centered around northern Helmia. While the nation was rebuilding and restructuring itself after the fall of Bardonia, they would covertly be garnering support from those who were disgruntled with the current system. This would come to a head following the reveal of their secretive plot, with war declared on February 8th. Halondia would break away from the federation along with Kastollia later on in the war.

During the only battle of the war, the Battle of Illerya, Rickey would go missing in action admist the siege. While the battle was a draw, with the Helmian defenders resisting the Halondian advance, there was no sign of the Praetor. Assuming the worst had happened, the Helmian government swiftly replaced the presumed KIA commander with CharaTheCatGirl. Although the Battle of Illerya was the only battle of the war, support for the Halondian rebels would grow while discontent within the federation would reach a boiling point. To avoid subjugation, Daelryia would secede from the Federation in fears of the mounting pressure against Helmia. This would eventually lead to the dissolvement of the federation, being replaced by the Dominate of Helmia.

Resurgence in Lirgal
Several months following the fall of Helmia, Rickey would find himself dazed and confused in a small cabin on the Aldovir coast. It is not known why, or even how he ended up several hundreds of miles away from Helmia, as he had no recollection of anything beyond suffering an injury which knocked him unconscious at the Battle of Illerya.

Venturing out, Rickey would eventually stumble upon the Lunar City-state of Lirgal, a city he had once visited following a Noxist religious quest by Luna. Asking the locals for any information about Helmia, they were unsure as to any information about the nation. Visiting the local cartographer, Rickey would be in dismay learning about the fall, and subjugation of Helmia under Eldhamite influence. With nothing left for him back at Helmia, he would remain in Lirgal as a citizen.
