Cities
Beacon: Following a bloody revolution at the hands of the visionary Zura Donovan, the cutthroat slave society of Korian was reformed into Azuria. To represent this change, Zura spent the rest of his life overseeing the construction of Beacon - changing the location of the capital from Halimar. Beacon represented a bright ray of hope in the wake of fear, confusion and uncertainty. Beacon in many ways symbolises the change from Korian to Azuria. It is a city of progress, filled with marvels of artifice designed by the late Zura Donovan. Systems of steam vents and pipes heat the city even during the coldest months of winter. Zeppelins fly overheard, and clockwork golems walk the streets as labourers and friendly guides - leading many in Beacon to live comfortable lives supported by the welfare system in place. Beacon is the heart of invention within Azuria - and as such its commerce is based heavily on automation and innovation.
Halimar: Former capital of Korian, Halimar is a city on the coast, repurposed following Korian's metamorphosis into Azuria. Although initially resentful of the shift in power and politics to Beacon, Halimar retained its status as the wealthiest city in the country by far, relying on expansive fleets of merchant ships, profiting from many exotic ventures abroad. The abolishment of the slave trade negatively impacted Halimar's economy, but they recovered easily enough due to their vast range of imported goods, often traded for items of comparatively low value. (Halimarians are notoriously canny bargainers)
Roguesport: Built at the mouth of the River Tyr (commonly known as the river of tears for its traditional role in transporting slaves across Korian) - Roguesport is aptly named. A den of thieves, and the home to multiple pirate lords and gangs - this city is a place where Zura's vision has not yet fully penetrated. Although slavery is technically illegal, it goes on here in an underhanded fashion - along with other shady or illicit dealings. Zura put off purging Roguesport, recognising the difficulties involved and prefering to focus on the establishment of Beacon. Now his finest apprentice and natural daughter Juliette is having all kinds of trouble attempting to remove this particular stain from her otherwise flourishing realm.
Cragspire: The indomitable fortress redoubt of Cragspire Castle was once held by an ogre warlord to secure the massive deposits of precious minerals that lay beneath the mountains. Since the assimilation of ogres into Azurian culture both through slavery and cultural mutualism - Cragspire has become a rich city where ogres are far more common than in the rest of Azuria, and live in perfect harmony with humans. They are very happy to share their minerals with the other kingdoms (in return for other goods). Cragspire is further inland than most of the water-hugging cities of Azuria.
Sedraxis: Before Korian was transformed, Sedraxis stood as a dark bastion of slavery and accursed magic. Ruled by the lich and slave lord Nekrus the Ashen Scion - Sedraxis was eventually cleansed and purged by Zura. The city was not popular before the transformation, and still it is in the process of recovering from centuries of oppression. Its architecture is gothic-victorian. With Nekrus gone - cheer is beginning to return to the city, and it is surrounded by iron deposits and forest.
Towns
Koss: This coastal town is renowned for its huge deposits of salt, and its rustic seafood cuisine - more muted and homely than the extravagant dishes of Halimar. The people are fairly reserved despite their position on the coast and regular trade, but maintain traditions of hospitality and courtesy toward strangers.
Ashalt: Another minor port on Misery Coast, Ashalt's proximity to Roguesport has made it something of an economic backwater. Because of its poor financial conditions, its people often find themselves migrating to Roguesport, or seeking adventure out on the seas. Either way, these people typically end up as pirates or slaves.
Vella: Vella lies on the border between Azuria and the kingdom directly to its east - and cultures, trade, and ideas flow steadily through it in both directions. Vella is prosperous due to its location as a minor trade centre - and its population is particularly mixed.
Eyriaz: Eyriaz is a town in the Azurian heartland distinguished by its great library, the nucleus of which is an ivory tower. Eyriaz's best and brightest were employed for work in Beacon, and many of those individuals have remained in the capital - causing Eyriaz to fall to the wayside slightly in recent years.
Villages
Rocfall: Not to be confused with "rockfall", Rocfall is a village built at the base of the spiritual site Mount Zephystra. It is built around the bones of a mighty roc that plummeted from the clouds, slain by an unknown hand. This village was built just two miles east of the ruins of a village named Rockfall, which was unfortunately destroyed by an avalanche nineteen years ago.

Spoiler: Kingdom 2 Ruled
Name: Starcraftia
Region: The Lake of Xel'Naga
- Legend: The name, Xel'Naga, comes from a mythological serpent god that was said to have ruled the kingdom of Starcraftia before any civilization on the land had been established. Stories have been told for generations that the god was killed by another powerful god and is now resting and healing in the lake to one day take revenge on his enemy.
Race: Half-breed (The majority of the population is human and elf mix; other mixed races are still present)
Current Rulers: King Arcturus Mengsk
Current successor: Sarah Kerrigan / 커비
- Note: Lineage does not play a part in choosing the next successors for the kingdom of Starcraftia. Instead, the Sons of Korhal chooses who they think is worthy to represent Starcraftia.
Council: Sons of Korhal
The Sons of Korhal is a council made up of thirteen carefully chosen archons who govern the kingdom of Starcraftia. Although it may seem like the Starcraftian rulers holds the power, the Starcraftian rulers only represent as the figure head and the voice of the kingdom. The Sons of Korhal makes most of the decisions for the kingdom behind the scenes, and the Starcraftian rulers voice the made decision to the public. When a decision needs to be made in the council, the thirteen archons put the decision up for a vote. If nine out of the thirteen archons vote for the decision, then the decision is made and then relayed to the Starcraftian ruler. In order to be admitted to the Sons of Korhal, one must be exclusively a male of any blood and must show their undying loyalty to the current archons. When recognized, the chosen group of men are sent to the Citadel of Adun where they study to become archons.
Head of the royal guard: Lord James Raynor / P.K.
Royal Physician: [WIP]
Head Priest/priestess: [WIP]
Cities:
Aiur
Aiur is the capital of Starcraftia, located at the center of the Xel'Naga lake. It is home to the majority of the population of Starcraftia. The royal palace and other important buildings of the kingdom reside inside the capital walls. The kingdom is separated into three classes, sociologically and demographically. The Protoss is the upper class, composed of royalty, high ranking officers, aristocrats, and others. The Terran is the middle class. The Terran class are the most average types of people. Lastly, the Zerg is the lower class and is composed of the most of the population in Aiur. Most of them are either homeless or disease ridden due to lack of proper caretaking from the upper classes. If the city was divided into three rings, the Protoss would be at the center, the Terran in the middle, and the Zerg in the outer.
Towns:
Braxis
Located in the northernmost part of Starcraftia, Braxis is a town no one visits unless you are already a native. Braxis, nicknamed "Ice Town," is cold and barren, and vegetation rarely grows. However, to the natives of Braxis, they have discovered ways to survive in the harsh weather. Despite being nearly inhabitable for most people, Starcraftia recruits soldiers from Braxis as they are considered to be the toughest, having to survive in ridiculous environments.
Char
Located northeast to the capital, the population of Char is zero. Due to an unforeseen forest fire, the entire village of Char went up in flames and was destroyed within a matter of days. According to rumors, no one made out of the fire alive. And although no one visits Char any more, travelers say that they hear whispers when they take the road aside the burned town.
Tarsonis
Tarsonis is located at the eastern side of the kingdom where the river begins to split into two. It is a very prosperous town with rich minerals and hearty crops all year. Many from outside worlds come to Tarsonis to trade their goods.
Zerus
Zerus holds the well known Citadel of Adun, located in the southern part of the kingdom. Many scholars come here to become either archons or other intellectual beings. The town surrounding the citadel isn't very large, but the citadel itself is so large that it can be seen from miles away.
Villages:
Mar Sara
Mar Sara is a village located just outside north of Aiur. Those who come in and out of the capital usually pass by the village. The village itself does not have much to offer aside from its prosperous tavern called Joeyray's Tavern with their infamous dish known as Krispy Zerglings.
Shakuras
Located deep in the western part of the kingdom, Shakuras is only known for one thing: the Ghost clan. With only a few houses to host its native residents, Shakuras is more of a boot camp rather than a village. The native population never exceeds twenty, whereas the people who are sent to the Ghost clan usually exceed thirty.

Cities:
Moosecow - The Glorious capitol of Lolitania, it embodies the purest form of the decor of the Republic. That is, bare brick, high walls, and extreme fortification. Moosecow is packed to the brim almost with people, housing close to a hundred thousand people in apartments and boarding houses. Great factories and other government buildings pierce the sky, which is always grey and overcast. Propaganda banners line the roads and posters are plastered on buildings, urging people to keep working, that it is for the ood of the party, and for the good of the people.
In the center of the city resides the Palatial estate of the Premier. What was once the former Tsar's palace, has been remade to be the Premier's private estate, complete with the solid gold domes on the towers, the hundreds of rooms, and the extensive wine cellar (only for use by Premier nd his guests, for he does not want the people to get sick drinking this swill, he saves the 'good' stuff (cheap mass-produced vodka) for the people. He has converted a section to be an all girl's school for young adults hoping to help the country grow (in actuality, it is his harem, and each woman was hand-picked for her ultra-loyalty)

New Stronk City - Built upon the ruins of Old Stronk City. The original city was built rather poorly and during a 500 person royal rumble things got out of hand and the city ended up buried under rubble. New Stronk City is much more stable and has even survived earthquakes with minimal damage. It is here that much of the wrestling academies can be found.
Boulderfist Mines - The largest mining center in Wrestletopia. Boulderfist is well known for the mining techniques of its residents who beat rock and ore into submission. Those of Boulderfist are said to have fists of stone. The name is just very literal.
Silver Spire - Located deep in the mountains of Wrestletopia is the Silver Spire. This city has much of the upper class of Wrestletopia and is where many retired wrestlers can be found. Most choose to die a hero rather than retire a zero. The city has a central spire made of silver where the governor lives.
Salty Anchor - Located where the rivers meet in Wrestletopia, Salty Anchor is a city that focuses on shipping of goods across the kingdom. They are known as backbreakers often because they have strong backs meant for carrying goods.
Slamburg - The capital of Wrestletopia. This city is a pragmatic boxy place with buildings designed to house mainly fighting. Their greatest export is wrestlers, those brave souls who fight in the ring with others to see is the best. Slamburg has the Smackrawwf Palace which houses the ruler of Wrestletopia. This palace is large and complex with many hidden rooms dedicated to specific wrestling match types. The front of the palace is a stage that leads to the grand ring outside.

Cities:
Barondurken a la Driftenburge: Though officially only a Barony, the Barondurken is also home to the Driftenburge Palace, making it one of the most powerful Baronies in the nation. From here, all horse-racing-based edicts are meted out, with horse-messengers heading in all directions. The best of those do so while drifting, though rumor has it that the secret of horse drifting hasn't traveled far from the Blue Curve. People here are generally just really into getting to places fast, and oftentimes use really unorthodox methods to propel themselves even further. Slingshots are popular, but considered to be inferior to horse racing.
Hursielinde: The birthplace of the land's horses, this massive tree-based city holds within it grand pastures. It would ordinarily be impossible to fertilize such pastures up in a tree as they are, but the sheer quantity of horse shit they have available makes it possible yet. Something about the magic pills just makes them shit so much. The people here are very used to strong odors and are also the most reputed horse breeders in the land, as well as having some minor ability to shape trees.
Stroot Riss City: Land of the lawless, Stroot Riss City is where all the illicit horse races happen. Despite a member of Blue Curve more or less always being present here, the crime is almost impossible to stop, and there's almost always a highly dangerous, oftentimes destructive, illegal horse race going on somewhere in the town.
Murterspert Lundeen: Home to the world's only sea-based horse-racing events, this dock was originally home to a massive trading port, until the invention of the horse-drawn paddleboat came to be. With this invention, they were able to turn HLPM(Horse Laps Per Minute) into sheer water-based speed. While this has drastically assisted with local trade, it's also helped a massive water-based horse-racing circuit to take off, one which the Blue Curve have yet to fully master...
Towns: Nasscahrria: Home of the direction Left, just, like, the entire concept, these deep Philosophers have turned their greatest invention into a national passtime, inviting Horse Racers to try their hand at beating the record for the quickest four sequential left turns.
Villages: Settlement D : The supposed home of P.J. Bluecurve, this unassuming town has been left largely unchanged.

Spoiler: Characters
Kingdom 1
Spoiler: RulersName: Juliette Donovan
Role: Grand Architect of Azuria
Race: Human
Appearance: Juliette is fairly tall for a woman, standing at 5'7. She has long, dark brown hair - almost black. She wears a long black corset and dress when interacting politically - with a red undershirt. She wears goggles over her head, a comfortable weight to her even if she's not tinkering. She has pale green eyes, and tanned skin. Her left arm is a clockwork construction, that seems to work just as fluidly as her right. She wears a silver locket around her neck, containing a portrait of her late father.
Age: 25
History: Juliette was born into a new age of hope, avoiding the brutal Korian civil war and the horrors that occured in the country before Zura's rise to power. From an early age she demonstrated her father's flair for invention - with her highly imaginative mind resulting in several new developments within Beacon. As Juliette grew up, the city of Beacon became her passion even as it was her father's. She shared his vision of a brighter future. Growing up wealthy, Juliette had access to incredible technologies and resources - and spent much of her time away from the public eye - preferring to tinker away in her workshop. At the age of 17 she lost her left arm in an accident involving an explosive charge she was building for "the fun of it". Following this, she worked closely with her now aging father to construct a clockwork arm to replace her missing limb.
At the age of twenty-one, Juliette's father and mentor died at the extremely old age of 90. Zura's death was a massive blow for the factions of Azuria that shared his dream of progress, especially the former slaves who he freed en masse. Zura made it clear that he wanted Juliette to succeed him as Grand Architect (ruler) of Azuria - and although the Azurian senate is technically free to elect who they choose - they followed his wishes and voted her into power. Various factions within the senate attempted to oppose this - namely those who still secretly supported slavery, but they were ultimately overturned.
Juliette had been prepared for leadership, but she never really enjoyed playing at politics. To her, invention was the only pastime worth engaging in. Nevertheless, she has admirably attempted to be a worthy ruler - attempting to build strong relationships with the other kingdoms. She tries to pay attention to the ruling senate - but is fairly mistrustful of them due to her father's warnings of their disloyalty.
Skills: Juliette is a friendly individual, who tries to do what's best for the people (and not just her own). She is a humanitarian who wants to share her marvels of artifice with the rest of the world. So far she has not done so due to the counsel of the senate, and words of her father - who was much more nationalistic than she is. She wants to build a brighter future for the world as a whole, and she is an extraordinary talented artificer - infusing magic with technology to create automatons and other inventions. Despite her enormous talents for invention and artifice, she is not very politically cunning - and she has almost no combat skills to speak of.

He meant well and got his job done well it only became apparent and how adept he was with a weapon when some thugs from Roguesport attempted to make off with a few nice galls only for the young man to use what he had on hand, spears and harpoons to stop the wannabe kidnappers. One of the lasses hadn't even been Local and was only visiting, She hung on his arm and begged him to be her bodyguard to which her father made it so. He traveled with them for a time though he could never return the affections of the daughter she was eventually married to another young man who turned him aside upon finding out he was a stranger in sorts and not rightfully from Azuria. This didn't bother Gladren but he was now stuck in the capital. his seeking for work led him to signing up with the Royal guard where he worked his way up with his hard work and Skill with Polarms.

Kingdom 2
Spoiler: RulersName:King Arcturus Mengsk
Role: Current King of Starcraftia
Race: Human, with a hint of Elvish blood
Age: 87
History: King Arcturus ruled for sixty years which is currently the longest reign in the history of Starcraftia. He represents Starcraftia as the thirty-seventh ruler of the kingdom. During his time as King, he refurbished the Citadel of Adun, in hopes of attracting larger amount of brilliant minds. His goal was to expand the Sons of Korhal to a larger number, but being that the council itself were comfortable with the number of archons, they continuously declined his propositions. His time as King comes to an end as he grows ill from an incurable disease known as the Corruptor. He may not go down as the greatest king of Starcraftia, but he will be remembered as the longest reigning one.
Skills: Before becoming king, he served in the military, even reaching the rank of captain. He had been proficient in the use of greatswords.
Spoiler: SuccessorName: Sarah Kerrigan
Role: Successor to King Arcturus Mengsk
Race: Human and Elvish mix, but also traits of an unidentifiable race.
Age: 27
History: Sarah Kerrigan was born with what physicians say a birth defect. Her parents were of the human and elvish blood, but some sort of mutation had caused her to appear different than normal. Due to the strangeness, she had been feared by many others. As a result, she didn't have many friends growing up. Luckily for her though, she was admitted into a special organization known as the Ghost clan. There she learned to accept that she was different than many others and began to learn various skills that many normal people would find impossible. Throughout the duration of most of her life, she had spent with the Ghost clan to the point where she had forgotten about the world outside. She had seen her fellow friends leave once they were acknowledged of their talents, but Sarah, for some reason, was never allowed to leave. That was until she realized no matter how much Sarah accepted herself, no one would still accept her on the world outside. Having said this, archons of the Sons of Korhal had some sympathy for the exotic Sarah. For someone who had once carried the weight of the wrath of her entire kingdom, they felt it was necessary to have Sarah represent the kingdom once King Arcturus Mengsk passes, to show that no one is perfect in Starcraftia, because many are not pure breeds, and Sarah is no exception.
Skills: Sarah has learned close combating skills at the Ghost clan. She also has a proficient talent with the use of bow and arrows. What makes Sarah different than everyone else is her unique ability to change her skin color to camouflage herself, becoming invisible to the naked eye.

Kingdom 3
Spoiler: RulersName: Joniisef Chanlin
Appearance:
Role: Premier of the People's Grand Republic of Lolitania, Grand Marshal of the Red Army.
Race: Human
Age: 46
History: Joniisef was born into poverty under the rule of the former Tsar. Said ruler was an incompetent elitist more interested in throwing parties and building mansions than ruling. It was because of that that the seeds of rebellion were so thoroughly able to spread. Farmers stopped shipping crops, factory workers went on strike, demonstrations were held daily. The mad Tsar only responded with violence, cutting down the unarmed peasants. That only further ignited the fires in their hearts.
It culminated one midwinter's eve, it had been a horrid year, with a bad harvest, yet the Tsar and other nobles did not go hungry, only the poor did. This led to a full and bloody armed rebellion known as 'The Red Winter' for the color of the snow that was stained by noble and royal blood. By the end of the winter, all the nobles and royals were dead, and a tentative government was set up.
Joniisef rose to power after the previous Premiere, a good friend of his, died in office, and has ruled since. He was one of the leaders of the rebellion, and personally beheaded the Tsar. Not much is known about his life before the rebellion, as few records of peasants were kept save for birth and death records, but after his placement in government, he was well-loved and respected by his Comrades and the people, and as Premier, all love their Glorious Leader, Big brother, for they know he is always watching over them.
Skills: Joniisef has soldier training, though he is not really a tactics man. He is rather intelligent and charismatic, and is a excellent public speaker. He was instrumental in spreading the knowledge of the glorious system that is Communism, and was the rebellion's master of Propaganda, and many of his original posters and pamphlets (with his original drawings, for his is an excellent artist) are on display at a museum.

Age: Looks 14 but is actually 39
History: "During the coming of the Red Winter, I, Lauren Ovechkina Lenin Ilyinishna, admired Joniisef Chanlin, my Grand Premiere, and the other revolution leaders. They ignited a fire in my heart to make a change in my world that had become so broken. The movement started out small, but overtime, we grew closer to the Tzar. However, the Tzar soon answered our protests with swords. What was meant to be a peaceful protest soon became a bloody massacre. The casualties grew high, but not once did I think about changing sides. I knew... I always knew being next to our Grand Premiere was the right choice, because the war was our victory in the end.
Before the war, I was a nobody. I admit I was a coward who wanted to make a change but was too afraid. Our Grand Premiere gave me a chance to make a change. And throughout the fight, I never left him. By the time the revolution ended, I had thought I was going to go back to becoming my old, cowardly self. No, the Grand Premiere acknowledged me. He saw my undying loyalty to Lolitania that he suggested I become the head of the new party security. I immediately accepted. To having to continue serving under the Grand Premiere was more than an honor. It was a miracle in itself. For Mother Lolitania."
Skills: Use of weapons larger than her.

Role: Minister of the Commissariat
Race: Human
Age: 45
History: Boris was born to a poor peasant family and spent his early years working for his uncle as an apprentice furrier making furry hats for people to keep their heads warm. What little money they had was always taken away by the greedy boyars who served the Tsar. In his early twenties he married a local girl called Anya.
When the revolution came he eagerly joined the Red Army to help topple the Tsar. He then swiftly rose up through the ranks til he was commanding his own brigade of troops. his finest contribution came just after the revolution when he was tasked to go and pacify the sepratist northern province of Thinland (so named because the peasants there tended to be particularly thin). Despite fighting in freezing winter conditions with meagre resources he successfully carried out the task, largely by sacrificing large numbers of his own man and burning down the saunas the people of Thinland used to stay warm. In recognition of these efforts he was promoted to head of the Commisariat. It was during this period he also purchased a tame bear named Rupert which he keeps as a pet and occasionally likes to ride on.
To this day one son named Ivan and two daughters named Yelena and Natalia (though in the case of the latter pair he often forgets their names or mixes them up). To his perenial displeasure his son Ivan is not too bright and seeing the girls as less important he takes little interest in their lives, as indeed he takes little interest in his wife preferring instead to focus on his work for the government.
Skills: While trained with the sword and pistol his main most important skill is imposing himself on subordinates by force of character and thus driving other men to obey him.

Role: Queen of the Dwarves

Appearance:
Age: 34
History: Cassy got her life started as a bouncing baby that turned into the lightweight champion among her block. As with others in the lands she was tested against others until she was in her teens where she finally earned the name Thundercrusher for performing a piledriver during a thunderstorm and winning a championship against her greatest rival Lightningfist Gunrhilda. Her interest in government came with her adulthood and after serving for four years as a manager she returned back to the lifestyle of wrestling and serving in the armed guard. During wartime she proved herself able by performing a diving headbutt during a battle and saving the then king at the time. When the old king got on in age and was past his golden years she finally challenged and defeated him in a cage match winning the Monarch Title Belt.
Skills: Cass knows two things in life, battle, and wrestling. She is rather unskilled at literally everything else. She needs cooks, she needs writers, she can barely even dress herself. But when it comes to fighting and battling in the ring, Cass is the legend herself.
Spoiler: AdviserName: Boulderstronk "Maskblast" Vakkenhurst
Appearance:
Role: Adviser
History: Boulderstronk came from a noble lineage among the Dwarves, often considered to be of a higher caste--He was among the 'Luchadwarves.' They did not perform just any form of wrestling, and any wrestler-dwarf who foolishly challenged a Luchadwarf was always taken up on their offer, with one stipulation. They must don a mask, and face down the Luchadwarf in a high-flying, high-risk wrestling match.
They could refuse, of course, but it was Boulderstronk who found the greatest way to enforce this rule--and through this enforcement, earned his nickname. There was a popular Dwarven finishing move called the 'Assblast,' where a Dwarf would follow up leg drop with a massive fart. Boulderstronk turned this instead into a leap from the turnbuckle, where he'd slam the mask over his dazed opponent's head, having prior farted into it.
He first used this move against the head supervisor of the administrative branch of the government for which he worked. For years, the branch had been held back by faulty mathematics and poor leadership skills, not to mention low-level corruption, but because the man was so damned good as a wrestler, nobody could topple him. Until Boulderstronk took things into his own hands.
As tradition dictated, however, as he'd done his first good deed, he was morally obligated as a Luchadwarf to become a folk hero and travel about, battling financial injustice with high-flying maneuvers only outdone by his high standards of morality. His competence in the ring and at the desk as well as his loyalty and honesty eventually won him a championship title against the Royal Advisor--Who did not opt out of the Luchadwarf Wrestling Match. His death will be mourned by all.
Skills: Luchadwarf style wrestling, accounting, an understanding of the civilian chain of command, economics

History: Fevren was very young when he found himself on the boarders of Wrestletopia. The dwarven Patrol that happened upon him couldn't make hide of tails of what the small elven child was doing on the borders all by himself, and Fevren couldn't tell them either. He had a rather nasty goose egg on the side of his head, a black eye and bloody lip, many theories went around but ultimately nothing came of it. The dwarves took him back and patched the kid up intent on sending him home, but somehow that just never ended up happening. Fevren was later Adopted into a dwarven family and quickly adopted to their rough ways, though he himself did not participate in wrestling he seemed to enjoy watching others do so and even had his favorites. Cass being one of them. It was one of his dreams to Meet both the Thundercrusher and Maskblast who both resides in the capital.

Kingdom 5
Spoiler: RulersName: Pierre Jutoirre of the Blue Curve, A.K.A. P.J. Bluecurve
Appearance:
Role: King of Racenhorsen
Race: Elven
Age: 300
History: Young for his role, PJ was born in the Land of the Blue Flowers, a land of many varied cultures, but predominantly elven. For as long as he could remember, the land was in a state of turmoil, with one revolution or the other shaking it to its foundation. At the young age of 60, he was conscripted into the militia.
He was conscripted as a lancer, and was known as an excellent horseman, with great passion for the animal, and a pretty good lancer, too, but ultimately wasn't good enough to keep the Royalists enthroned, since they were outnumbered fifteen to one. Almost immediately afterward, he was thrown into a jail for twenty years, where he learned magic. Except he sucked at it. The only thing he learned to use was a magic pill, but he couldn't get it to work on him.
But on one fateful day, a prison break was staged, and he managed to get ahold of the reins of a horse. Barely keeping ahead of the guards chasing after him and running low on supplies, PJ fed the horse his magic pill in desperation, and discovered something amazing.
The pill made the horse lightning fast. It jumped fifteen feet in the air, then started randomly jumping around and teleporting, before finally carrying PJ careening through the sunset, so fast that for a while there, they actually turned into plasma. It was both amazing and excruciatingly painful.
Upon regaining his freedom, Pierre picked up the lance once more, and gathered together a group of sixteen loyal knights, all of whom loved horses as much as he did. They formed the Blue Curve, a group dedicated to the art of Horse Racing for world peace, and using their superior Horse-Racing Prowess were able to defeat the former rebel king, and bring peace and Horse Racing to the land.
Skills: Pierre can make magical pills and also ride horses really well, also he's pretty good at matters of the state, and pretty good with a lance. But he kind of sucks at actual military tactics, and also he spends all his time with his horses, so nothing ever gets done unless someone bugs him about it.
