== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
From an early age, Joparis exhibited the highest levels of arrogance and self-absorption. As a child, he befriended people who worshipped Joparis, not allowing anyone who thought he was less-than the most popular child be friends with him. He was spoiled with his extravagant wardrobe, by the age of 5 he had quickly amassed a vast collection from his nanny of traditional robes. 
=== Teen years ===
By his early teens, Joparis had attracted a gathering of sexual admirers. Joparis elevated his own self-infatuation by holding a physical fighting contest at social events around Tyst Dod villages when with his older siblings, deciding who should deserve to take his virginity away first. The winning girl, he remarked, reminded him of his elder sister, Diaeyne Fyth. However, he did not take on his first partner until the age of 15, when Faroux Sparr joined with him after being infatuated from an early age as he visited his village with his parents. However, Joparis had grown disinterested and wished to gain experiences with different people within 2 weeks of committing, and denounced Faroux. He later committed suicide over the matter. Joparis was unconcerned by this. During this time Joparis was an aficionado of capes and opulent robes, often extremely expensive and imported from foreign kingdoms such as the Chaestlands as they specialised in prestigious silk-lined and hand-tailored capes. This attracted more inordinate attention towards Joparis, and went on to have 7 subsequent meaningful relationships, and many more sexual encounters.
=== Joparis devotees and attitudes towards ruling family change ===
When Joparis was 17 and studying aesthetic value at the Capital University of Oparo, he gathered a group of his friends who were from various kingdoms across The Continent, such as Casteron Daeys of House Daeys. Amongst his closest of friends, Casteron maintained a healthy friendship with Joparis, though the former grew tired of his more boastful outbursts by the end of their education. To be in this prestigious Clique of Joparis, one must have been of exceptional physical quality and a devotee of Joparis himself - as he assembled this group to rival Shanryth and Diaeyne Fyth's handmaidens. 
During this time, his close sibling, Diaeyne Fyth, became matriarch of Helmont. Politically, Joparis favoured all that advanced his own popularity. Therefore, he ordered his group to voice his strong support for Diaeyne and House Grenthyx. 
In 305 AG, after a banquet in which a distracted, boastful Diaeyne let her attention slip away from Ricos, Joparis found a quip from the young patriarch particularly amusing. Following this, Joparis eyed Ricos, paying him flirtatious glances amongst his grape consumption from across the table. After the banquet had concluded, Joparis made sexual advances to Ricos, rousing his attention greatly. Soon after expressing their desire for further intimacy, they entered a relationship. Joparis begun his relationship as dominant as ever, constantly flirting to please the young patriarch. As their relationship progressed over the next month, Joparis opened up to Ricos, sharing their feelings and past experiences - something Joparis seldom did. Subsequent to this, Diaeyne Fyth tasked Joparis in obtaining semen from Ricos Grenthyx, with Diaeyne and Ricos' lack of sexual intimacy necessitating an alternative means to impregnate the then matriarch. After a failed attempt, Joparis eventually succeeded, with Diaeyne thanking him, showing little interest for Ricos' and Joparis' relationship. Continuing this, Joparis began to feel remorse over ever agreeing to Diaeyne's task, eventually culminating in Joparis' to expound the plan to Ricos. Feeling betrayed and upset, Ricos angrily broke off any relationship with Joparis, leaving him feeling empty. After a time, Joparis' wish to bury his sadness upon losing singularly the only meaningful relationship he had ever experienced faded, leading him to repeat his past mistakes and seek superficial satisfaction. 
In one instance, Joparis attempted to woo (as he did with many) Ainoux Fyth's lover Berin III Root, having low regard for their relationship and branding Ainoux a "Dwarfish swine". After being rejected by Berin in the cloister corridor, Joparis remained bemused for months as to why he would possibly be rejected, as this had never happened to Joparis before. He concluded that Berin was mentally defunct, as it would be impossible for any being of intelligence to denounce his advances. 
=== Post Great War ===
During the Great War of 307 AG, Joparis fled Helmont to the Capital, principally for fear of his wardrobe being damaged. Eventually he returned to Helmont Castle to continue his grandiose lifestyle under his brother, Eightoux Fyth. With Ceria Chaffton, he had his only son (whom later resented Joparis), Veron Fyth in 311 AG. The Trial of Joparis Fyth occured in 310 AG due to his blood relation to those who had committed crimes against the crown such as Ainoux Fyth. This occured shortly after the end of the war in the newly formed Oppidan Court of the 14 Kingdoms. Although found not guilty, Joparis was ordered to remain in the grounds of Helmont Castle. Following a turbulent breakup with Ceira, Joparis was tasked with raising the young Veron. For the first few years he struggled, and by the time Veron entered his teens he resented Joparis and his ways. When Veron left Helmont to study human behaviour at the Capital University of Oparo in 327 AG, Joparis illegally fled Helmont again for the Capital, this time never to return. Veron was pleased with this news when he returned from study in 330 AG. Resented, Joparis spent a month in the Capital before being caught and jailed as he had breached the terms of the sentence imposed on him by his trial years prior.
