== The Beginning ==
=== Origin ===
Gemryns story begins when his Mother, Alvara, discovered him hidden deep within a cave. Alvara would collect one of the eggs there, and raise them as her own. In due time, Gemryn hatched, and he was raised like one of Alvaras own children. But due to his form still being Draconic, it was impossible for him to play with other children. Gemryn would go on to find a hidden draconic town, deep underwater, called Scyria. It was here that he was introduced to other dragons, and learned more about his biology. he learned how to Identify people by smell, and at the same time found out his own smell of Freshly Cut Gemstones. Soon, his day would go along the lines of learning about the economy and travelers tongue with his mother, and learning about the draconic language and dragon history with a tutor. 
=== Caved-in World ===
After a long time of learning and Playing, Gemryn grew up to the stage of a mid-teenager, and thought about leaving for his own place. After careful thought, he decided to leave his childhood home, and live in Scyria, and learn more how to control his dragon abilities, as well as learning new ones. It was here that he would live for years, rising through the ranks until he became someone of high importance, and sat at the nations council as its head of foreign affairs. He loved it in his nation, prospering and learning valuable skills for the future, but this prosperity would not last for long. At some point, a civil war broke out in the nation, and the main palace was blown up, and collapsed. most were able to escape the chaos, but while getting other people out, Gemryn got trapped, and the palace crumbled around him. He was stuck within the collapsed halls of the palace, and no one knew. While the rest of the world moved pass, Gemryn would walk around the remaining and intact halls, reading whatever books remained from the library, and improving upon his skills as best he can. it was during this time that he began to create a form that was better suited for his world, and he had only two options. He could remain in the form of a dragon, or of a human. Gemryn ultimately decided on the form of a human, as he desired to interact with more species, and a human form allowed for a friendlier appearance. From there, he explored a previously blocked Section of the palace, and found a open spot in which to crawl through in his new human form.
=== Socialization ===
After escaping the fallen nation, Gemryn didn't know where to go. He wasn't sure if his family would recognize him, or even allow him back in for leaving. So he went in a direction he never went it, and stumbled across a town called Novia. When he landed, he was greeted by someone called Anish. He was introduced to the town, and with enough time, started to learn about how people behaved, and developed friends that were his own, and not his families. 
== Exploration and Socialization ==
=== First towns ===
After settling down in Novia, Gemryn would begin his study of the world around him. he went to the giant library there, and read as much about his world as he could. religions, wars, mythology, brews, and more, all read by him over the coarse of a year. He would travel to other towns to learn more, Such as Athos, Schwanstein, and more. This process would continue for a while, Going to different towns, Meeting new people, and Learning more about the land around him.
=== True Settling ===
Once his journey had brought him to Athazolant, He had explored until offered to join the religion of Zentivar by Athaz himself, swiftly taking up the opportunity and settling down in Athazolant. It was during this time in which he was able to begin to properly learn about more than what he was able to simply read off of books, but instead through conversation. He learned how to negotiate, use his words to manipulate emotion, how to write books and understand hidden meanings, and other useful life skills. As well as learning about skills, His Newfound religion of Zentivar allowed him to easily partake in Vahtah Sehnays, Festivals hosted every few years to celebrate the death of Entropy and engage in fun activites.

== The National Era ==
=== Escharian Explorations ===
However plentiful the knowledge in Viratayn might be, It did not contain the entirety. Because of this, He had adventured out once more, trekking towards a nation that the Mcspiegels had referred to as 'Escharia'. Arriving through the walls, he immediately began his search around for the libraries. This led him to stumble into the Mcspiegel Estate within Lileannen, encountering the Guards and a Foxgirl which he quickly fed at a request. He asked for the appearence of Hazel, and within due time, she had arrived, and the two had began to converse about the nation. This conversation had led him to begin staying around escharia for a long period of time, often going to the Lily tavern and talking to the people he met there, quickly making new acquittances and discovering new cultural differences than what he was used to, much to his interest.
=== Auroran Action ===
Escharia had valuable information, but he knew that other places had potentially equal value within them. This once more caused him to assemble his items and prepare to walk and swim through the snowy forests and ice cold rivers until he found the fortified stronghold of Fornost. Arriving through the large stone walls, he was surprised to see a bustling town filled with people of all different types and unique styles. He quickly went through the town, stumbling upon a campfire in the middle of the city and sat on one of the logs, starting to chat with some of the other people there. Within this fireside talk he had managed to make yet another friend, called Lydia. She encouraged him to practice his fighting skills and improve within the Auroran Order. He did just this, staying within Aurora for a long period of time, training and fighting during his free time while talking with Lydia or sleeping in the snow when tired from his trainings. It was also during this
=== The Lorentish Lord Era ===
==== The Greatwhite Isles ====
Aurora taught him valuable lessons in combat and evading combat, but he still desired a final piece of his lack of knowledge, that being his knowledge of politics and how towns were sustained. During yet another of his adventures, He had stumbled his way across the Greatwhite Isles, taking interest and exploring this town once more. His explorations led him to meet the Royal family, who were helping with construction. This royal family, being comprised of Queen Nuggets and King Shark, Welcomed him in, giving him a home within the neighborhood and letting him conduct his buisness. In his time, He had met one of his closest friends Alonch, a bookwriter and researcher in anything Gemryn might happen to stumble across. He had also become closer to Queen Nuggets, eventually being promoted to Guard and Establishing the Royal Guard after showing proficiency in combat, making him the Head Royal Guard for the Queen and hiring two other guards to assist him with protecting the royal family during negotiations and citizen meetings. He would also write a Guide as to how to properly act and position yourself during guarding positions, handed out to the fellow guards but having been lost to time.
==== Underwater Haven ====
Exploring around GWI let him explore GWI's pre-succession nation called Lorent. It was here he met Vasilikos, the Dragon Queen of Helona, and Chelona, the Turtle ruler of Oceanique. Deciding that Oceanique would better fit his biology, he joined Chelona in the underwater town and obtained a house next to the large palace building. The underwater town was mostly lacking citizens, with only Chelona and one other fish person Gem never managed to fully learn the identity of. He obtained a second house in Oceanique before long and began to help grow the town, getting support and resources from Helona and Greatwhite Isles whilst also Maintaining his connections with his friends Via letters or occasional visits to the respective nations. Over time, The small underwater town had begun to grow in popularity, attracting enough people to warrent the creation of a Library, Religious center, and Battle Arena. Gemryn helped Chelona manage the town and create the infrastructure, earning the title of Co-Founder alongside Chelona for his contributions and willingness to live in the small town and develop it. It was also during this time that He and Vasilikos had begun to Date, with Gemryn making frequent visits due to the close proximity to talk to and learn blacksmithing with her. 
=== The Abandonment and Embracement Period ===
==== Abandonment ====
He remained loyal to Lorent and Vasilikos until she mysteriously disappeared without any warning, causing Gemryn to become concerned, confused, and saddened with her loss. He had began to hear about the rise of the Diety known as Segra. In his desperation to relocate her, He began to study and slowly start to surround himself with Segra worshippers, eventually using his previous mastery of Void Magic gained during his time in Novia to further investigate and slowly become corrupted by the dieties words.
==== Divine Delusion ====
Gemryn's corruption from Segra made him use void magic to further his power and grow stronger, growing larger draconic features on his body as a result of his more aggressive corruption. He fought more people, training and fighting past his usual point of breaking despite his body deteriorating. He awaited until the next large battle occured, joining in with the rest of the corrupted and power hungry individuals and nearly dying in a battle alongside a spirit. He channeled enough magic into himself to barely survive and escape, letting the corruption sweep away in the aspect of his near end. He quickly left the scene of the attack, returning home with barely anything left to try and build himself back up once more.
==== Embracement ====
With a newfound sense of himself and a brush with death, He returned to the Greatwhite Isles to Embrace his work and distract his mind, Building a new throne for the Royal family and obtaining an office within the palace building. He turned this office into a library of the books he had collected for the other nobles to read while he continued to rebuild the life he once had. Before long however, Queen nuggets had also mysteriously disappeared, leaving King Shark in charge and disbanding the Royal guard program out of 'lack of necessity'. Gemryn was brought back to a normal citizen with palace permissions, Resigning himself to stay within his home and think for the vast majority of the day, taking breaks to eat, sleep, and occasionally read.
