Name: Tupper Trènine
Position: Former Archduke of Dustari
Race: Half-Elf
Age: Indeterminable. Tupper has jumped between universes too many times to give an accurate age, but he looks to be in his late 20's when compared to humans.
Relations: Brother of Hurumi
Class: Former mage, now Ranger.
Skills: Holds skills of Tyrtalian decent, although these powers are negated in any universe besides those inhabited by those of said decent. His powers have diminished in this respect ever since he was ejected from the Delterian universe. Tupper retains some of his mage skills, but they have also degraded through lack of use. He is close to about half his power from the Nightrose era. Tupper is an adept alchemist and engineer, and is often seen working on machinery. ((As an OOC note, I use his abilities in Alchemy, Machinery, and Tyrtalian powers as an explaination for his administration powers on Delteria.))
Appearance:
Pre-Delteria, Tupper wore a white cloak over blue pants and a blue tunic. He carried a gnarled wooden staff, and always wore his lucky Explorer hat. His hair is messy, blue, and long, but not shoulder length. His slightly pointed ears are constantly hidden. His eyes are sky blue.
Post-Delteria, Tupper wears a flowing white cape. Underneath he wears a robe. He has a purple sheath on his belt that seems to hold a handle for a sword, but not the blade itself. His staff is gone. He doesn't wear his Explorer hat anymore. The most obvious physical change is that his hair is pink. His ears are more prominent, and his hair is still messy, but slightly shorter. His eyes are a brighter sky blue that ocassionally glint with pink or purple.
Short History: Tupper Trènine was born in Dustari village, during the reign of Asuka, the great war-king. Chosen from a young age to become one of Dustari's famed Fire Mages, he was trained from an early age to conjure fireballs. He mastered his skills around 18, and enlisted in the Dustarian army soon after. He stuck with this position for a few months, until he was given the oppurtunity to take a new position: Foreign Affairs Minister. He took this position, and helped retain Dustari's dominance through much of the Nightrose era. After a brief romantic spur with Scarlett Warhare, he moved on and became a Duke of Dustari, furthering his administrative power. He commanded the Dustarian forces in the King's absence, and was later promoted yet again to Archduke when Queen Marle Illusion was ruling in Kamuii's long-term absence. Kamuii returned about a year after this promotion, and things began to fall downhill.
In Tupper's absence, the King attended a peace "summit," where the Karakaze Bandits were lying in wait. Screaming the now-famous battlecall, "ACKBAR!", Kamuii was impaled by hundreds of spikes shooting up from the ground. The King was dead. Tupper returned a few days later, and learned of this. Infuriated, Tupper took hold of the army's command, and ordered a huge retalitory attack upon Karakaze. They were nowhere to be found.
After the king's death, the land began to die. Tupper drowned himself in mechanical work, and eventually turned out the contraversial "Airship Plans." Tupper began to build a prototype, but not before the plans were stolen by the remanants of Karakaze. They were quickly lost and stolen and found many many times, and eventually ended up at the bottom of the sea, along with Ghost Pirate's ship. Depressed, Tupper sulked around Dustari, until they came under attack from Samurai. Morale low, Dustari was left in flames. Tupper escaped barely by crawling into a ditch of bodies, blending in until the heathens left.
Staggering about the smoking embers of his fallen kingdom, Tupper stumbled into the airship hangar, underneath the waterfall. Luckily, his unfinished airship had been untouched. In a stupor, he started the steam-powerered monster, and pulled it off its moorings. It creaked out past the waterfall, and steamed on off past the sea. With no supplies, and with an unfinished ship, Tupper quickly fell victim to a storm, and was swept away. As far as those from Dustari know, he was lost at sea. However, he had in fact landed on a small island. Still foodless, Tupper cast a desperate spell, one that he had been researching in his lab. It was based off of a combination of Crescent Pirate and Zormite technology, along with some strange machinery from a cave to the north. The spell was a success.
Years passed. The world of Graal evolved, and so did the people. In a flash of light, smoke, and magical energy, a being that had been absent from the land of Graal appeared back in Bomboria. Tupper had returned. His appearance was greatly changed, and he now was a completely different being. Having merged with a force known only in the Graal universe as "Aura," he gained new power and energies. Using these powers, he jumped from universe to universe, looking for his old homeland. He had finally returned.
And he was sickened.
Dustari had been reduced from a war-mongering superpower to a submission nation of slaves. The stinking fish, as Tupper likes to refer to them, had taken over completely. Zormite had decimated Dustari's land, not by direct attack, but by opression. Dustari had quite literally died in his eyes.
In a rage, Tupper swept off, killing a few of the fishmen that were on the island. After realizing that nobody in Dustari had the will to even attempt to gain back their former glory, Tupper hijacked one of the Zormite ships and went to their island. Storming into the Zormite palace, he was confronted by guards that were quickly dashed against the wall by pure telekenesis. Confronting the Dictatoress herself, he introduced himself, and told her of his concerns. She quite simply dismissed any idea that Zormite had done such a thing, with obvious sarcasm. Deeply enraged, Tupper threw himself against the ***** fish, but was quickly held back. His aura energies had quickly subsided, deciding that such an act would be unreasonable. Tupper narrowed his eyes at the 'woman', glaring. Without a word, he portaled himself back out of the Graalian universe, not seen again since.
