Background
Ardiivy was born on July 1st of 2003 in Müviel. His mom "Aurélie Du Triez" was his dad's "Dom Lafleen" (aka Dom of Müviel, a minor diplomat from a rich family) personal French teacher, who forced her to become his mistress. She was living in a small house payed by Dom, and ate with the money he gave her.

when she realised she was pregnant, Dom was in a diplomatic trip far away from Müviel. She gave birth by herself and raised the child for 4 years, reaching him the basics, aswell as french. One day, she heard that Dom was coming back from a 4 years diplomatic trip that ended up being a nightmare. He started coming more and more to see his mistress who secretly hid his child in the attic because he and his mom would've been kicked of the country if Dom found out about illegitimate children. He then started coming every day, staying at nights sometime, being more and more abusive, while Ardiivy was getting hungrier. It couldn't last longer for Aurélie, who gave her child to the only person she could trust, Charles Calaroy, a violinist. Charles didn't wanted to raise a child, so she bribed him : "if you keep him hidden from his dad, I'll pay you". The violinist took the offer but gave the child to a nurse, saying it was his. Meanwhile the amount of money Dom gave Aurélie was already bad before she started paying Charles, but now, it became catastrophic. She only ate when she had to, and started rationing water. She was scared of asking more money, because she thought she would've been beaten. But Charles wanted more, because he had to pay a nurse now, and Aurélie had to accept it, she had no other solution She started starving and started paying Charles with her body. Rumors spread around that she was a prostitute, so Dom kicked her out of the country, to keep his dignity intact, erasing every part of what she was. She came back to Triez, the underground city she lived all of her life in being called "Queen of Triez", then died tragically when the city got engulfed in a earthquake.

Without any payment from Aurélie, Charles had to take back the child from the nurse, and now that he was "Ardiivy Calaroy, son of Charles Calaroy", he had no choice but to keep him. He lived inved in Charle's basement, where an old piano was laying there in a corner of the room. He had to sleep on a pile of old carpets, and eat on the same plate everyday. on the first day, he tried to play the piano. Charles came downstairs immediatly and closed the piano on his fingers "don't touch it !". Charles started calling him "V". sometimes, V would hear Charles playing the violin, and sometimes, he would hear 4 of them playing at the same time. it was gold to V's ears.

Charles then started searching for a boss to accept Ardiivy as an apprentice. Ardiivy struggled to find jobs and when he'd got them, he would fail miserably and got fired from all of them. "he's too weak", "he is too clumsy", people would say. Charles got mad really fast, but he had to go soon to tour around Simulami with his violin quartet, so he found him a job easier than anyone he did until then, while requiring skills he acquired from all of them : taking care of the house. He would clean, polish, do the dishes, buy groceries, cook, open the windows every morning and close the shutters every night, all of this for 2 years and with the money Charles left behind.

One thing he never forgot about was the piano. everyday, he would gt downstairs and look at it for hours. he had nothing else to do, knew no one, and only had this house. he was so scared of Charles finding out that he couldn't play on it. but everyday he would get closer to it, one time he even opened it, seeing the keys for the first time in ages. he closed it soon though, scared away by the feeling that Charles could be near, finding out about it and throwing him out.

One day, as he sat down next to it, he opened it again, and played a key, then another, then another. he tried to replicate the sounds of the music he heard Charles play a year ago. first, with the right hand, then, with both hands. he got so good at remembering those that he started playing them blindfolded. then he discovered transposing, and started playing it scale by scale, the same piece, over and over again. it wasn't a hard one, but it was the only one he ever knew.

Charles wasn't coming back, but Ardiivy was turning 16 soon and had to find something to get money. he started working as an apprentice again, this time, as an apprentice winemaker, in the fields located at a decent way from Müviel, brewing, and sometimes he would even bottle them and put the label "Müviel 2019" on it. he got better and better and the wine was pretty good, and he started gaining a decent amount of money, enough to buy a new piano that he still has at this date. he first thought of putting it at Charles's place, but it was a bad idea. how would he react when he'll see it ? will he like it ? will it take too much place for him ? will he think that I spent money on stupid stuff ?

His boss passed away really soon after V started thinking about that, and he inherited the winery, the fields were all his, because his boss didn't find a wife, and his brother had been gone since a long time. but the winery wasn't what excited him the most, because he had found a place for his piano, wich he placed upstairs, in front of a window. He started playing the same piece again, but got bored and as he got inspiration from the landscape, he started improvising, and composing stuff. he soon realised that he couldn't do the work all by himself in the Winery, and got bored of it really fast. He got a lucky that a certain "Dom" got interested in buying it out. he sold it for a good enough amount of money for him to get a caravan to go away from Müviel with his piano. he wandered into the nether where his oxen died, so he tried carrying the caravan, but unfortunately it broke, and the piano, aswell as almost all of the food, water and ressources he placed burned in lava. he had no money left, and nowhere to go. V decided that he still wanted to go by the path who led him to the portal of Fornost.

Once in Fornost, he met Stan, who toured him around with a aspiring trainee, "Prototype". Stan then showed him the Inn as the thunderstorm that would later flood the city started. He got offered a house next to the fields, where he got inspiration for his first ever piece. He turned 18, and took a resolution : he wanted to found a city that would speak French, grow fast and maintain the harmony within its borders. The town was named Harmony and V got associated with another guy who would become his friend : Le_Grincheux aka Grinch.

Music
Ardiivy wrote his first piece on his first day in Fornost, called "the flooding of Fornost". Stan was the first one to ever hear the sound of it. Since then, he planned on creating more and more while building up his town, Harmony.
