Character Biographies/Political Backgrounds

[Estonianzulu]

Konstantin Vilms, aged 35

Vilms was born the son of an Estonian refugee from the cold war and an American expatriot. He grew up in New Lancaster city, and grew up as a socialist. However, against his parents wishes, he gladly joined the navy at 18. His rebellious period was over after 10 years in the navy, when he retired from military service.

Vilms left for a life working for local newspapers. During this time he met with a small group of right-wing monarchists, although the right-wing of the monarchists did not stick with him, the idea of monarchy did. In 2003 he decided to become politically active in Eutopia and joined the CRE. Vilms has since been pushing for party change, and has been appointed PR chief and official representative of the CRE to the MRC.

Vilms, in 2002 organized a movement, along with key investors to found a basketball association, which came true in 2003. However its popularity failed. Vilms also attempted to create a sports business to organize Eutopian sports, however with the drop in popularity of Eutopian sports it is questionable as well.

After a few years as a memmber of the CRE, Vilms began to move more to the right. He became the most vocal opponent to the Coalition to Preserve the Republic. After he was abducted by police in a raid on the CRE headquarters, Vilms became an avid supporter of the bill of rights. He determined that the best way to protect rights would be through the MILE office. After becoming deputy under Jacob Lundgren and successfully defusing a near massacre in Farpoint, Vilms was propelled into the office.

With the collapse of the CRE, Vilms created the only other monarchist party, the RPE. After a brief campaign for Mayor of Eutopia City, Vilms returned to the position of MILE. He is also the lead editor of The Regal, and the current head of the Eutopian Royalist Organization.

 

[Amric]

Amric Al'Aeshir, age 36
Born in Indianapolis, Indiana

Known for being the Isaac Asimov of his generation for his writing style and the sheer volume of books he's written. Semi retired from writing due to burnout. Divorced with three children. Immigrated to EUtopia to enjoy his retirement. Has no political affiliations at this time, but is a strange combination of liberal and conservative. Shockingly liberal in some ways, such as gay rights, but stuffily conservative in others, such as anti monarchy and very much pro death penalty. Has been known to be outspoken in some ways, but also tightlipped in many others.

At six feet in height with shoulder length black hair and piercing grey eyes he stands out in a crowd. One time football, baseball, and basketball player in high school he is still in fairly good shape and still somewhat athletic despite his years behind a keyboard typing his novels.

Living at the hotel until his house is built he hopes that he will integrate nicely into this society. His future plans are up in the air, until he gets his bearings.

[unmerged(4021)]

Born in Gilford to native Eutopians, Jonathon Glasser had a relatively uneventful childhood. At a young age Glasser decided to become a medical doctor, a dream he fulfilled upon his graduation from the University of Illinois. During his studies he also met his first wife, Catherine. Returning to Eutopia upon his graduation, Glasser completed his residency in Gilford’s largest hospital. Glasser decided to setup his own practice. The strain of Glasser’s work life, as well as Catherine’s unhappiness with Eutopia, led to his divorce. The divorce shattered Glasser and almost caused his practice to completely fail.

Eventually Glasser recovered and became, for a while, a bit of a playboy, buying expensive cars and being part of Gilford’s high society, and being linked to numerous different women. All of this changed after Glasser met Emily VonLustin at a birthday party for one of Emily’s cousins. After a whirlwind courtship, the two were married.

From the beginning Glasser was a favorite of Fritz VonLustin, patriarch of the VonLustin family. The VonLustin’s a prominent political family in New Schleswig for several generations, had recently been mostly marginalized due to their ever increasing liberal views in what remained a mostly conservative province. Glasser, who had never before shown any interests in politics, became Fritz’s protégé, although many would describe him, pretty accurately, as Fritz’s personal sycophant.

With Fritz’s recent passings, Emily and Jonathon have inherited much of the VonLustin’s family wealth, comprising mostly the Talbot News and Talk radio station, despite Emily having two older brothers. The tension this has created, appeared as though it would break the VonLustin dynasty, until Jonathon agreed to begin to focus on national politics, leaving most of the political control that the VonLustin’s had in New Schleswig to Emily’s two brothers.

He burst onto the scene in a far more spectacular fashion than anyone, including he, could have imagined. Deciding that his views most aligned with the Rally for Democracy, Jonathan joined that proud party. With-in a short time, he found himself heading the RD’s National Assembly ticket and shortly after that becoming Party Leader. His assumption of the party leadership coincided with the change of the RD to the Democratic Alternative.

The DA/RD’s coalition successful won the Presidency and Jonathan was able to become Speaker of the National Assembly. The President, Jake Langley, soon clashed with the DA, causing a rift in the ability of the coalition to govern effectively. After a strong start as Speaker, Jonathan disappeared. His disappearance was rumored to be a result of his embarking on a personal vendetta to Africa to find the murderers of two slain Latin children. At the same time, President Langley disappeared, and Vice President Vasco IKK, also a member of the RD, went missing as a result of a deadly virus. With only 24 hours to go before power would have passed to then MDIA Charles Morgan, Jonathan returned and assumed the Speakership and then the Presidency. With only a few hours to go, Jake Langley returned to Eutopia, and Jonathan gracefully relinquished the Presidency, earning general plaudits for his able crisis leadership.
Upon resuming the Speakership, Jonathan and President Langley clashed repeatedly culminating in a High Court Case where Jonathan ultimately prevailed. This part of Jonathan’s Speakership was less successful. With the next elections approaching, Jonathan burned out, in part caused by an intraparty dispute with then President Vasco IKK. Jonathan then disappeared once again in what was later revealed to be work for Doctor’s Without Borders.

Upon his return, after what was basically the absence of a full term, or three years, Jonathan’s charmed political life resumed when he returned, and following the death of Charles Morgan, was nominated as the center’s candidate for President. In an election result that surprised him greatly Jonathan was elected President.

He quickly assembled a Cabinet that drew members from across the political spectrum.

Name: Saif ad-Din DeOrigue

Birthdate: 24/09/1973

Birthplace: Cental WET, Eutopia

Relatives:

Grandfather - Louis Marcel DeOrigue - French aristocrat, born in Eutopia, grandson of marquis Marcel Gerard DeOrigue, great traveler and noble gentleman. Although Louis has inherited his great relative's love to travel, he wasn't as lucky. One of his expeditions died in the mountains of WET, and was lucky to be picked up by some neighboring Topas. When living in their village, he fell in love with one of the girls in his tribe, who gave birth to his son. Soon, they left for DeOrigues great house in Saint Esprit. After a few years, Louis died, leaving all of his estate to the oldest son from the first marriage.

Father - Jean Paul DeOrigue - Being only three when he was born, his mother took him back to the WET, where soon after her husband, she died, leaving her only child alone at the age of 8. Jean Paul, adopted the Muslim faith and a name of Muhammad. Later, he was recognized as one of the most important leaders of the Topan independence movement but was never able to prove his worth, since he died early, when he was 25 years old of a mysterious disease, year after inheriting his father's estate and wealth in Saint Esprit.

Mother - Fatima Umm-al-Futuh - Although unintentionally, her marriage with Muhammad gave the latter amazing publicity among the Topas. She was a direct descendant of ancient rulers of the island. She raised her only son well in both Topan traditions and European culture, by sending him to study in England. She believed, that one has to know his enemy to fight him effectively. She died of the same mysterious disease as her husband, while Saif was in Oxford, competing his literature degree.

Biography:

Being the only child of Fatima Umm-al-Futuh, he was treated as a savior of the Topan nation right after he was born. Elders decided to give him an appropriate name - Saif ad-Din, the Sword of the Faith. When he was young, he went to Oxford, supposedly to study, but instead he used his wealth to escape. He knew, that literature degree will not be useful to fight the occupants, so he wanted military training. He acquired it in Russia, coming there on the forged documents. He joined Spetsnaz and was assigned to go to Kaliningrad, where he's met captain Tretiakov. The two had become great friends, and this was the reason Russian officer was accused of espionage - DeOrigue was checked by FSB and had to escape. Tretiakov in turn, was believed to have something to do with providing an "Eutopian spy" with military documents (which, of course, didn't happen). Saif escaped into WET and didn't show up in public for a while. He was training the most eager Topan young men to later fight away their lands back from the occupants.

[Zuckergußgebäck]

The story of the von Maazarines is perhaps not interesting, but it will be posted anyway.

In 1809, Sweden lost finland to russia, one of the less known generals of that war was Erik von Maazarin, disgraced and frowned upon for the defeat he left sweden and wondered europe untill he landed in Eutopia.
He joined the swedish colony Fort Oskar and settled there with his german wife and little son.
His great grandson, Zuckergußgebäck von Maazarin was born in Fort Oskar, nowadays Nuevo sueciae.
He joined the army and found himself in the newly formed frogman division.
The division was plagued by poor equipment and the boat drivers had little or no training, this was to prove fatal for Zuckergußgebäck.
Because of the division was less than combat ready it was transferred to the reserves.
Zuckergußgebäck swiftly rose through the ranks and became second lieutenant.
One day, during training a dingy drove over Zuckergußgebäck, the propeller suvearly damaging neck, arms. back and bones.
After recovering in hospital he was declared "unfit for service" and left the army.
He has founded the Eutopian airlines and the eutopian ultracentrists.
He has for some strange reason been named managing drector of the NSEX, which he runs with his faithful assistant Nisse Bofink.

Adelaide Ariadne Paola d’Esteva

Childhood: In the summer months of 1971, the product of the loins of a minor Latin civil servant and the disgraced daughter of a Spanish diplomat was brought into the world in the front bedroom of a small suburban villa, just in the outskirts of Buen Puerto. This being their 5th child, a number common-place in the strict Catholic neighbourhood they inhabited, they paid her little attention for much of her early years. Yet really, she was growing to be something quite special indeed.

Adolescence: At secondary school, Adelaide first had her taste of politics – being a member of the school debating society. Having devoured the works of Churchill and Cicero she soon became a fiery orator, and with her attractive tanned face, and slim Hispanic hips, quite a catch for the boys at school. But sadly, having gotten up to her neck in the local Topa Root dealership, in which she had no part at all, she was expelled, quite wrongly, from school at the age of 15 with no qualifications whatsoever.

Late Teens – 20’s: Shunned by many of her peers, much of the early innocence that she once had left her. Adelaide whiled away much of the time until her 18th birthday reading radical political literature: - whether Marx, Engels, or Hitler, it changed most weeks. But eventually, turned out the family home by her parents, she managed to attain a job in a bank, making tea for the manager and his staff. However, she soon ended up making far more than beverages.

Adelaide was without doubt a very beautiful girl, but must definitely not the marrying sort. Her feminine charm and fiery passion earned her many admirers, but also a reputation that did her more harm than good.

Early 30's: Eventually, however, enough was enough. Adelaide decided to up-sticks, and move to Eutopia City. She was a proud Latin, and her years of being misunderstood by the Anglo tourists in Buen Porto left her bitter and eager for change. So at the age of 32 she bought herself a small apartment near the centre of the city.

 

[Voshkod]

Yuri Ivanovich Voshkod

Colonel General (retired) Doctor Yuri Ivanovich Voshkod

Early Life and College Years

Yuri Ivanovich Voshkod was born in the last dark winter of the Great Patriotic War, January 1945, in ice-bound Irkutsk. His father, a tank commander, had died the previous month in Budapest, and his mother died bringing him into the world.

In his early years, young Yuri bounced between various relatives and state institutes for orphans. He was a quiet, almost grim, child, but noted for his intelligence. He joined the Young Pioneers and quickly rose through the ranks. In his high school days his aptitude for science show through, and he was fortunate enough to gain admission to Moscow State University in physics.

Graduating near the top of his class, Voshkod moved on graduate school, studying high-energy physics. During the short break between leaving his graduate program and beginning his doctoral work, he traveled to Prague in the spring of 1968.

Witnessing the Prague Spring and the crackdown that followed, a very disillusioned Yuri returned to Moscow to begin earning doctorate in particle physics. In 1970, a twenty-five year old Doctor Yuri Voshkod stepped out of Moscow State University and was immediately captured by the Army.

Army Days

The State, when it saw a talent it could use, would scoop it up. Yuri found himself at Semipalatinsk working on nuclear weapons. Once he blinded himself to the results of his research, these were some of his happiest years. He tried to remain ignorant of politics, and simply buried himself in his work.

A decade passed at various research facilities across the Soviet Union, and for his diligence and effort, he was promoted to Colonel. In 1980, however, as matters in Afghanistan grew grimmer for the Red Army, officers were pulled from across the military and sent into the meat grinder of that war. Yuri Voshkod found himself commanding an armored company outside of Kabul.

To this day, he will only talk of his three years in Afghanistan when he is deep in drink.

In 1983, he was rotated out of the war zone and sent to the Strategic Rocket Corps as a war planner. For the next fifteen years he would cross the nearly illusory border between the Soviet civilian space program and the Soviet strategic war machine several times. One year, he was the senior watch officer in Moscow; the next, the launch safety officer at Baikonur.

In 1995, he reached the pinnacle of his career, the second-in-command of the Russian Federation Strategic Rocket Corps. At his fingertips were million of megatons of firepower. For five years, he watched this vast arsenal decay and fall into oblivion. When he had his thirty years in, he retired as a Colonel General and began a civilian life in 2000.

Strange Days

Of Yuri Voshkod's brief time as a Russian civilian, little can be said, if only for fear of litigation. Rumors of arms sales to mafiya strongmen have never been confirmed, and he is no longer under indictment in Russia. Suffice it to say that he was not pleased by the course he saw his motherland taking and, seeing no remedy, left for Eutopia.

[Elias Tarfarius]

Dr. Ian Supremo

Name: Ian Supremo, p.h.d in History (specificly Japanese and Napoleonic)

Age: 29
Marriage Status: not
Ethincity: Afro-Caledonian
Residence: Eutopia City
Employment: college professor at ENU, failed politician, radio talk show host
Political Affilation: The Royal Party of Eutopia (RPE)

A Short History

Origins. Born: January 9th, 1975. Although he was born in the United States, both Supremo's African and Scottish ancestors had been long time residents of Eutopia (the Africans being descended perhaps from some of the ancient Punic colonists). Taking advantage of this, the former candidate for Congress and former assisant professor at UVA has left his native Virginia to return to the land of his ancestors.

Politics. Supremo, from an early age, has been politically involved, very religious, and a lover of History. He is also known for being a radical support of monarchy. "If only we had made a Stuart king of America, how much better would we be. The liars in the District of Columbia would not be vampires upon the neck of the people, bloody, greed, self-gratifiers who would have put the avaricious magnates of Poland to shame!" He has studied Eutopia's current sucession problem and supports Queen Maria, putting one of the remaining Stuarts on the throne, or having Maria marry a man of the House of Stuart. As you can tell, Supremo loves the House of Stuart. "No house, other than the Romanovs perhaps, has been so unjustly deprived of its throne which it held by ancient right of blood and divine blessing."

Radio. Supremo is one that has always hoped to use the media to impress view like these among the masses and has been (and most likely will be again here in Eutopia) a inflamatory but popular radio show host. "The radio is a mystical medium and it is the one I love. Television is for the shallow and papers for the old and incapable. Radio stands above these by far."

Will be updated whenever needed...
