Subvert Dumeur

Subvert Dumeur currently resides in the D ominion of Nathriana of the Union of Vulzath. He is also the last of the 3 founders of the capital of Mexrncast, which was the capital city of Yuvaria up until the Second Kingdom of Yuvari a.

Personality
Before he and his parents had been captured by slavers, Subvert had been described as a kind, joyful child, a trial found with many of the children of the Village of Dunsier. However, Subvert was also mischievous, pulling pranks off his unsuspecting victims which contrasted against his kind personality.

Early Life
Life in the Village of Duseir

Subvert was born on September 4, 1988, in the Village of Duseir. He was born to 2 parents who were considered very odd and weird compared to everyone else. His parents Myrddin Dumeur and Yrneha Dumeur would always fantasize about the idea of leaving the village one day to travel the world seeing different people and grand sights while also eating different foods too. Many of the villagers would joke that their combined desire of traveling must've been what brought them both together in the first place.

Duseir Village was somewhat of an odd village, as it was a village in an environment that was a mix of spruce trees and large mushroom trees. The home in which Subvert and his family would live was a small yet humble mushroom cottage. The house's furniture was made up of fallen sticks, leaves of spruce trees, mushrooms, and any other objects that could be found in the environment. Subvert was a cheerful, mischievous yet crafty child who loved to play dirty pranks on his peers and adults alike. He would steal pies left beside windows to be cooled, move objects of a house around to confuse people, hell he even shaved the hair of the village chief once.

Despite the peaceful life in the village, it was no surprise that as the days went by both Subvert’s parent’s desire to adventure to another place would grow. Even their child would become influenced by their desire to venture into the world. Perhaps partially because of their desire to adventure, Subvert’s parents were both proud warriors of the village and knew a thing or two about combat. One day, they finally decided to approach the village’s chief to gain permission to leave. Unfortunately, the village chief would not approve of such a thing. When asked why the old man replied, “The reason we do not leave the village is because of an ancient legend which says, “a beshrew shall befall anyone and their kin who is't decides to leaveth this village.” Despite this warning from the elder, the family of 3 would be found missing from the village the following day. Leaving the village, Subvert and his parents would travel to different towns and landscapes occasionally fighting bandits on the route there. In between travelling to different towns, the family would occasionally take quests from the local Adventurer’s Guild to help pay for their adventuring fees. Despite all seeming to be going well for the family, elves are known for their dazzling looks, and usually never leave their homeland for foreign locations, thus they were prime targets in the eyes of criminals and slavers.

An Adventurer's Tragedy

Traveling between different towns and landscapes, the small family would often sleep in local inns of the towns they traveled through to rest, eat, and help plan their next destination the following day. They would then either leave town using a carriage, visit the local adventurer’s guild for quests, or do whatever they had planned the day before. On one particular day however, the trio would rent out a room in a fairly shady inn of which was in town. The inn seemed to be very run down and the entire building seemed as if it was more of an ancient ruin than an inn. As they entered the inn, Subvert's parents noticed that something was off about the inn. The other guests were whispering amongst themselves, casting furtive glances at the family. But they couldn't put their finger on what it was exactly. Perhaps it was just their imagination, they thought. That night, they were awoken by a loud banging on the door. Subvert's parents jumped out of bed, ready to defend themselves and their child. When they opened the door, they were met with a group of masked men, armed with swords and daggers. The family fought bravely, but they were outnumbered and outmatched. Subvert's parents fell one by one, their bodies crumpling to the floor. Subvert himself was knocked unconscious and taken away.

When he came to, he was in a dark, damp cell. He didn't know how long he had been there, but it felt like days. The cell was small and cramped, with barely enough room for him to stand up. His head was pounding, and he felt dizzy and disoriented. He tried to call out for help, but his voice was hoarse and weak. There was no answer. He was alone. Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. Subvert was kept in the cell, barely given enough food and water to survive. He was beaten and abused by his captors, who wanted to break him and turn him into a slave. But Subvert was made of sterner stuff. He refused to give in, to let his spirit be broken. He spent his days plotting and planning his escape, using his cunning and intelligence to outsmart his captors. Finally, the day came when he saw his chance. The door to his cell was left unlocked, and he knew that this was his only opportunity to escape. He crept out of the cell, taking care not to make a sound. He made his way through the dark, twisting corridors of the dungeon, avoiding the guards, and traps that lay in his path. Finally, he burst out into the fresh air, his heart pounding with excitement and fear. He ran as fast as he could, not stopping until he was miles away from his captors.

A Prisoner's Freedom

Subvert was finally free, but he was alone and lost in a world that he didn't know. He had no idea if his parents were alive, where he was, or how he was going to survive. But he refused to give up. He was determined to make his way in the world, no matter what challenges lay ahead. He wandered for days, living off the land and sleeping in the open air. He encountered many dangers on his journey, from vicious wild animals to ruthless bandits. But he was quick-witted and resourceful, and he always managed to find a way to survive due to his cautious nature caused by his trauma. As he traveled, he came across many peculiar and odd experiences. In one of these odd experiences, Subvert was rummaging through an abandoned house in an old town seeing if he could find anything of value. Here he found an odd book titled The History of Riverglade. Not thinking much of it, he would take the book and decide to call it a day. However the next day, the entire town was not anywhere to be seen, which left him quite baffled.

Foundations of a Town
A Spark of New Friendship

Traveling through the arduous journey of the lands of Eldham, Subvert would be very wary and cautious of other individuals he encountered during his adventures through the lands. He would rarely stay at one location for long, never took marked paths, and was usually traveling by foot or carriage most of the time. However, despite Subvert's cautiousness he would be unexpectedly attacked by an unnaturally large group of goblins while traveling through the Valresh continent to the town of Shepton. The goblins numbered about 30-40 bodies, an amount that could still be defeated by a party of 3, but not by a lone, exhausted, novice swordsman with nothing but a dull short sword. Subvert would try to fight the goblins head on, surprisingly taking multiple goblins down before taking a poisonous dart to his thigh and becoming paralyzed. The goblins, having realized they had paralyzed their prey, began approaching the young elf. Would he be eaten? Would he be tortured and murdered? Would he be their entertainment? These were thoughts that had gone through the elf's mind as he believed his end was coming. Then an arrow struck the lead goblin. One arrow became 2, then 2 arrows became 3, 3 became 6, and 6 became 8. Someone had started attacking the goblins and clearly they had the surprise advantage against the goblins. Sadly the poison in the elf's body would take full effect, but not before he saw the silhouettes of 2 men fighting the goblins.

Day had become dark, Subvert would finally have awakened again to the same 2 men who fought the goblins. The 3 men were huddled around a campfire where one had been snoozing until Subvert woke while the other had been sharpening their long sword. Seeing as there was nothing he could do at the time and still being groggy from the effects of the goblin’s poison, Subvert decided to converse with the other 2 and realized that the path to the Capital of Shepton had become blocked due to a very large presence of goblins and that he pretty much walked right into the hornet's nest. Subvert learnt that the sleeping 2 men's name were ScrubADubbers who practiced the Ratism faith despite not being a rat himself, and the man who was sharpening the long sword's name was named Malo Rauva, a formerly influential Bardonian who left the lands of Rathnir in search of new opportunity in the Kingdom of Yuvaria (now the Second Kingdom of Yuvaria). Further into their conversation, they realized that they all had a similar goal of coming this far north east into Valresh which was to find a new home, one with potential one away from conflict, one with new opportunity. With this realization of the trio, they would go on to founding a small settlement right there where they camped which would later soon become the new capital of Yuvaria, the settlement of Mexrncast.

A Beacon of a New Community

Subvert, ScrubADubbers, and Malo worked tirelessly to establish the settlement of Mexrncast. They built houses, cleared land for farming, and they even managed to set up a marketplace to trade goods. Slowly but steadily, other travelers passing through the area became interested in the new life of the town and joined them in building the new town. As Mexrncast grew, so did its competition. In Yuvaria, there sat 2 other towns which were also growing attempting to become larger and more powerful then the other in the nation, the names of the 2 towns being Roantazor and Dovepove. King Ashey’s announcement of a town race to choose the nation’s new capital helped to fuel the fire of the 3 towns in this race. However, with good omens that come, bad omens follow close behind.

Shock, Rebellion, Greed
The ground shook, a rebellion had taken place in the nation spearheaded by the leaders of Roantazor. Subvert and ScrubADubbers had the genius idea of becoming spies for the king in order to learn of any information regarding the rebellion. While the duo would eventually learn of some critical information regarding the coup including its supporters and a foreign nation supporting it, it was all in vain as the rebels would eventually call the coup off and leave the country forever. Despite the fact that the coup had failed and the rebels had left, it would expose problems that had caused the rebellion to happen in the first place.

The Calm Before the Storm

The days that came following the events of the New Yuvarian Rebellion, Subvert would be raised to the position of the Minister of of Transportation briefly, before being assigned as the Minister of Diplomacy and later the Minister of Information and Media where Subvert would assist in the Yuvarian government's operations and create the Yuvarian Times (now the Yunrian Times). Subvert would also be present for the event of the founding of Yunria through the merger of Yuvaria and Grandia's colony Nathria, and later Mercury. However with his new set of responsibilities and people to protect, the young elf was in need of a viable source of money and while Subvert was occasionally gaining heaps of money through scavenging old ruins, it was not enough. This desperation for a source of viable cash led him to banditry of other people. Despite him turning to banditry, he would typically aim for those with bad reputations such as greedy merchants, mercenaries, and even other bandits. Perhaps a wandering spirit disliked the mischief caused by Subvert, and casted a curse, leading to a future of unfortunate events.

A Mongerer’s Demand
After a long day of managing daily affairs of Mexrncast, Subvert would sit on his balcony in his small home, sipping on herbal tea and reading the next issue of the Yunrian Times. This would all change on one particular day, Subvert was admiring the work he and the town folks had put into the town. The small town had overcome many odds, having survived conflicts both internal and external, and continued to rise farther than top as the nation’s capital. Subvert continued to take in the results of the dedication and hardwork he and his fellow townsmen had worked on, until he felt the feel of a gentle, yet sandly rough object of which had landed on his head. Taking the object into his hand, the object was some sort of letter addressed to the government of Yunria, sealed by a stamp of the Aureulite government. Opening the contents of thile letter would come to change him and Yunria.

21 Demand
The 21 demands were a long list of demands by the Aureulite governemnt which in essence, demanded outrageous terms against Yunria to force it to dissolve, become indebted to the Aureulite government, and become puppet nations of the Aureulite government l. These demands caused absolute chaos throughout Yunria. No one had anticipated Aureus making a move like this, and many knew that the threat of Aureus was no small one. During this period, Yunria became an absolute mess with the government trying one thing and another. Eventually, this led to a movement led by most of the government to vassalize under Uraka to gain protection from Aureus. Following these events, Subvert had grown tired of being involved in government affairs and decided to take a backseat in order to grow Mexrncast.

A Community Heals
Following the events of the Urakan vassalage, Subvert began focusing on repairing damage and making efforts to attract new individuals to Mexrncast. These efforts eventually saw the construction of important structures such as the Asteria flag tower and a large marketplace Mexrncast bazzar. It also saw the annexation of Asteria into Mexrnxast. Aside from his large involvement in the nation's capital, Subvert was rarely seen outside his town.

The Discovery of Bobbie
On December 15, 2021 while traveling through the hellscapes of the nether looking for a bounty, he had discovered a strider stuck in a hole surrounded by basalt walls. Knowing that species like the striders had become near extinct, he secured the location of which the strider resided in and took down coordinates of the area. He later handed over these coordinates to Wardaddy who made a long journey to bring the strider to the Yunria. The strider was named Bobbie and currently resides at a small lava pool in Majulah mimicking the environment it had lived in.

Voyage away from destruction
Following the vassalization of Yunria, Subvert would not do many notable things aside from host a couple events like a nation-wide secret Santa, perform diplomacy on behalf of Yunria, and continue to grow and manage Mexrncast. However, despite being mostly involved in foreign affairs, Subvert would occasionally be involved in other internal affairs of Yunria mostly through advice and debates. Unfortunately, most debates that took place in parliament were fairly messy, with some describing them as screamfests between everyone. The pressure which had a effect on Subvert's mental health would continue to grow and grow until a day came which forced him to completely resign from all his positions in Yunria and leave for a voyage to New Yoake. The voyage across the sea of (name of sea) was fairly uneventful and was mostly smooth sailing. Arriving at the port town of New Yoake was anything but uneventful. Taking only 10 paces away from the ship, he would be robbed at sword point of many possessions on his person. Fortunately for Subvert, most of his possessions had still been on his ship and nothing that had been notable was lost. Subvert initially intended to rent a small home with the permission of the local lord in order to store his possessions and to rest. Surprisingly to Subvert however, such homes would simply not be available at the time due many of them undergoing maintenance and the rest already rented out. These circumstances left Subvert renting out 2 inn rooms. The days after the first, were much less frustrating as the first day giving Subvert the well earned opportunity to observe and experience the culture of another nation. (Add stuff Subvert did here) Despite Subvert's safe well earned vacation from Yunria's political hell, perhaps if he was present, the future may of had changed.

A State of Ruin
Subvert had spent many months away from Yunria, and it the return trip back home was not a pleasant one either. Prehaps a local sea spirit was outraged by another's actions. Notherless, the seas during the return trip back were extemely rough and it was a miracle that the ship had not capsulized during the trip. Unfortunately for Subvert, his victory would prove to be short lived. Arriving at the docks of Novatarrjon, Subvert could tell could tell something was different. Typically, Novaterrjon's atmosphere had been one of a very lively town, with much music and events, despite it's small population. But now, it had seemed exactly like a ghost town. The shipyard had been packed to the brim with many different vassals, however no soul was seen. Not even the local mayor was in the town hall. Fearing something was admist, the young elf made haste to the place he knew would definitely have someone present. Arriving at the capital city, Mexrncast, he knew the situation was very much grim. The capital, while may not of been the most beautiful city, was not one that would normally have a massive hole in it's wall.

The capital's atmosphere was similar of Novatarrjon's, but was much more grim and depressing. The many houses were in a state of disrepair, the town hall had signs of bloodshed, lampposts were fallen over as like they were cut down like a tree, even the Scrub Clock Tower, the symbol of Mexrncast, had stopped ticking at 12:13. The inside of the town hall had no fared well either. Documents were scattered, bookshelves had collapsed, event the main desk was not spared either. Entering the meeting hall, Subvert was happy to see some friendly faces. Malo Rauva, Astraas, Abtorres, Admiral Fluffly, and a strange new face. Subvert's random arrival to the meeting put a look of and shock on the faces of his comrades.

New Beginnings
In the time Subvert had been away from Yunria, it had completely collapsed leaving much of the land under Drackar's control and the remaining lands including Mexrncast in a state of anarchy. This state was renamed back to Yuvaria, and was being semi-run by a small mayoral council, of which Subvert walked right into. Subvert was surprised to see what had still remained of Yuvaria, still been relatively intact up until his return.

Subvert was assigned a position on the council, despite no longer running a town or a position in a town for that matter. And eventually with the approval of the entirety of the council, Subvert and the council would initally make an attempt at fully reorganizing Yuvaria into a Kingdom under the control of Subvert and the mayoral council. Despite the inital movement of securing and rebuilding of Yuvaria as a Kingdom and strong support for Subvert by the remaining citizens, a player named Merc, who was a former Yunrian and one of the leaders of the forth coalition, a coalition created in order to destroy the third Ellysian empire, did not favor Subvert calling him an Ellysian and theatened to war Yuvaria if Subvert took to the throne of Yuvaria. Not wishing for more chaos and the further destruction of Yuvaria, Subvert would publicly announce his intention to stand down from the throne of Yuvaria. After Subvert's step complete step down, thw mayoral council would attempt to appoint a new king, but would be unable to appoint a capable ruler, leading to many Yuvarians including Malo and Astraas to leave Yuvaria in search for more stable lands. Subvert however, refused to leave despite even his close friends trying to convince him to pack and go. Yet the stubborn elf would refuse to leave, even after many friendly faces had gone. Outside of Yuvaria, Wardaddy would make Subvert his successor to Majulah, and he would later be crowened king of Majulah as Wardaddy himself would leave as well to search for more peaceful lands.

Time would not be faltered by the elf's refusal of leaving. It would continue to move the gears behind the days and the nights. Subvert would eventually regain control of Mexrncast, and would eventually assist with reforming of mayoral council with those who still had remained. Admiral Fluffly would make an attempt to rebuild Yuvaria into an imperialist nation, but would eventually fail due to high pressure such position had given him. After Admiral Fluffly, many days had gone by, more Yuvarians would leave to find better lands despite the mayoral council's revival. It was a genuine surprise that no nation had taken interest in the lands of Yuvaria. All except one individual.

Lsuvsfar, who was the right hand of Ashey the First during the First Kingdom of Yuvaria, would finally return from a far adventure to discover the lands of unknown. With Lsuvsfar's return, Yuvaria's future would take a turn for the better. Through the cooperative efforts of both the mayoral council and Lsuvsfar, Lsuvsfar would become the new regent, and later as the King, of Yuvaria. With stabilization finally coming back to Yuvaria's lands, foreigners would begin recognizing Yuvaria as a renewed kingdom, a high council would be established to help further stabilize the nation, even former citizens of Yunria would take interest in returning. With the nation renewed, nobility would be established and rewarded to certain Yuvarians who still remained and had a large impact on Yuvaria. Among the people who would become the nobility, Subvert would be made Duke of New Jvar and be given the noble name Dumeur as proof of it.

Peace and New Goals
After Subvert's ascension to nobility, much of note would not happen. These days would be ultimately spent to rebuild old housing of Mexrncast, recruiting new citizens, being involved in Yuvaria's high council, and assisting in whatever other affairs he could.

Subvert would integrate Majulah into Yuvaria as an autonomous Kingdom under the duchy of New Jvar and would step down from the throne of Majulah making his Daughter, Azuri, the new Queen of Majulah. Later, even the duchy of Brailaheim which would be disbanded would have it's land integrated into New Jvar as a town under the duchy. Aside from these activities, not much else would occur in this period of Subvert's life. This was until old grudges unsatisfied from the peace would return once again.

Old Conflicts, New Nation
Many years would go by, with Yuvaria relatively basking in peace and quiet compared to it's history. It would see the construction and demolishing of some towns, joining and leaving of many people, but nothing very harsh. This was until the return of some of the remnants of old Yunria and formation of the Barony of Lowtharia. Over time, the leaders of the Barony of Lowtharia would manipulate local leaders that the current king was unfit for rule. Eventually, as dissatisfaction increased, so would the nation's instability, until the Barony and its allies would publicly declare the king unfit for rule and demanded him to abdicate from the throne. During this conflict, Subvert would continue to ally himself with the loyalist faction, even after being offered the position of kingship by the rebellion faction. Unfortunately, the rebellion faction would bring the High Kingdom of Soolia into the conflict. Fearing yet another war, the king would discuss with the loyalist faction and would ultimately abdicate from the throne, to avoid the country of another devastating war. Following this, Subvert would be offered to continue his position as both a part of the High Council of Yuvaria and his position as the Duke of New Jvar. However, witnessing some others having been manipulated and fearing of becoming a puppet himself, he would disband New Jvar and would declare the Kingdom of Majulah independence once again. This peace would also not last very long however, as the new Yuvarian government would not be known for their hospitality as their predecessor and would end up provoking many of the surrounding nations, even nations that were previously allied. Predicting yet another large scale conflict that would end with the destruction of his hometown Mexrncast, Subvert would gather some of his soldiers and allies and would leave to occupy the city of Mexrncast under the Dumeur banner. The resulting conflict with the initial occupation of the town would prove to be successful with no casualties, as the town would open their gates to allow it's previous lord in. The new lord of Mexrncast, Spike_the_ize would be removed from his seat and forced from Mexrncast along with a message to allow Mexrncast to gain its independence.

Subvert’s prediction of a large conflict on Yuvaria would prove to be scarily correct, as he would find a newspaper near his old home saying that Yuvaria was under attack from multiple nations including the previous king with many nations who were once allied with Yuvaria. Following the next day, Subvert and other nation leaders would come to the table with the new Yuvarian government to discuss terms of a possible peace treaty. The resulting aftermath of this meeting, would see Subvert requiring most of the lands of New Jvar, including Mexrncast, Brailaheilm, and the island of Yun which would eventually form the Dominion of Nathriana after it was integrated into the Kingdom of Majulah.

Revival of Nathriana, Formation of Vulzath
Following the end of the Yuvarian conflict and the integration of the former lands of New Jvar into the Kingdom of Majulah, Majulah would rebrand itself into the Dominion of Nathriana as the spiritual successor state to old Nathria with approval of many who were involved in old Nathria. During this time, Subvert would focus on construction of Majulah, and revival of other parts of Nathriana. Nathriana would later merge into the Union of Vulzath as one of the 3 founding member states, with Subvert as one of its head Grand Dukes of Vulzath.

A Living Nightmare and Moment's Peace
The events of the Vulzathian Snap would weigh heavily on Subvert's sanity. With the incident having had taken most of his people and the government, and even his adoptive daughter, Azuri Mayclair, one of the last individuals left in the Dumeur dynasty. This along with his pent up emotions of the conflicts before would begin to drive him into states of anger and rage. The death of Kayeda, one of Subvert's few dear friends would see more stress on the man's mental health. However, throughout this time of Subvert's sour, some who he had thought had gone missing, namely Larek, Malo, and Micc would return once again from having had heard news of what had happened to Yuvaria. Seeing the state of what was left and a friend the 3 had cherished, they would help Subvert setup a provisional government for the nation, rebuilding of whatever was left, and making preparations for the prophesied disaster to come. With the hand of what remained of his friends, they would force Subvert to take rest off and attempt to get him engaged in other activities to get his mind off the past. Part of the activities Subvert was forced into taking his vacation in friendly nations, often along with some members of the Kyrie. He would often visit nations of which close friends such as had lived, with one of these close friends having had been Josefina de Porphyropolis Kyani, who had been a long time friend of Subvert, and who Subvert had admired. During his stays in the Kingdom of Amarillo, the 2 would often sit and talk about much of what had been happening in their lives, from national matters to things they had enjoyed to their personal family matters. These talks would often give them both much insight into the other's life

Political Career
Subvert has taken many positions of government in his past. In the First Kingdom of Yuvaria and the High Kingdom of Yunria, would create and continue being the Mayor of Mexrncast, being one of the 3 main figures of it's development. In the government of Yuvaria, he had taken the position of Minister of Transportation, the minister of Information and Media being the official handler of the Yuvarian Times newspaper, then as Minister of Diplomacy, and for a short while, would be assigned as the Right Hand of the Kingdom of Yuvaria, King Malo Rauva, during the High Kingdom of Yunria. During the Constitutional Monarchy of Yunria era, he would be placed into position of Minister of Foreign Affairs by President Wardaddy. He would be also appointed as the official handler of the now renamed Yunrian Times newspaper. He would later resign from his government positions due to the mental pressure Yunria's internal affairs had brought to him, and appointed Larek645 as the interim Minister of Diplomacy. This would also lead him to resigning as the Mayor of Mexrncast, assigning tapnap05 as his interim mayor. With the fall of Yunria, and later the fall of the third coming of Ellysia, Subvert would attempt to reunite Yuvaria and would gain major support from the interim mayoral council and the citizenry. However, it would be halted with the ultimatum of an anti-ellysia coalition leader declaring Subvert pro-ellysian and threatening intervention. Not wanting more devastation to his nation, Subvert would step down. During the Second Kingdom of Yuvaria, Subvert would be appointed as one of the four dukes of Yuvaria and would be assigned to rule the lands of New Jvar. He would also be assigned a position on the High Command, playing a variety of roles including foreign diplomacy and as an advisor. During the Second Kingdom he would temporarily step down as he was ascended to the throne as the Second Monarch of the Kingdom of Majulah, but would later return to his position in Yuvaria. However, with the coup of the king led by Antflip and Robot, Subvert would resign completely from Yuvaria and leave with Majulah (which would later be known as Nathria) taking the role as the Guenhyvar of Nathria.
