== Biography ==
==== Origin of Saunic ====
Saunic Spud was the son of a potato farmer in Vassa. His father, and his mother, both came from Fjörgyien, but they moved to Vassa. His mother died of severe food poisoning a few months after he was born, because she ate a poisonous potato. Later, when he was 15, his father also died of severe food poisoning, due to eating a poisonous potato. When he was 17, he went out to the forest to walk around, he started eating a potato. But this wasn't any potato, this was a special type of poisonous potato that causes memory loss for a large period of time. 15 minutes after eating the potato, he blacked out.
==== Amnesia ====
Saunic Spud woke up in a forest south of Fjörgyien remembering nothing but his name. He walked north, and found a citizen of Fjörgyien. The citizen invited him to live in the city, and to join the Autokratoria of Sirradra. He accepted the offer. After farming for cactus, He worked up the money to travel the world when he was suddenly caught up in a army of people heading towards Yocuto's town. He wasn't really sure what he was doing, but it was one of the first notable things he ever did. Later, Saunic Spud, while working to build Vidona (Village of Fjörgyien), decided to go into the main city, and place a few boats on the boat tower in the town square. He kept working, and he was recognized by the Magnus (Leader of the local province). This is when he was awarded the title of a member of the "Order of the Magnus".
==== Political and Religious Career ====
Later, Saunic Spud was asked to join a communist party in his province. He accepted, as he agreed with their ideas. He ran for the local province government in an election for the communist party. He lost the election. After this, he started the Followers of the Boat, along with his friend, Harold Ad Alendir. Later, he got in a fight with Zelphyr Rosaê, as Zelphyr knocked down the boat tower, the holy site of the Followers of the Boat. Saunic managed to beat Zelphyr. Later, he, and Harold, hired Kinni Babs to create a church for the Followers. After, the leader of his province decided to hold another election for the local province government, and he once again joined a communist party. He won this time. Also, around this time, he started regaining memories about his past. It seems the effects of the potato started wearing off. One day, it fully wore off. 
==== Founder of Boaterism ====
Saunic Spud was the head priest of Boaterism (Also known as the Followers of the Boat), and he had a lot on his hands. After defending the Boat Tower, he, along with Harold Ad Alendir, commissioned a Boaterist Church from the Babs family. Then, using his connection with the Mayor of Elmon, Ateus Van Lucius, he managed to construct another church in Elmon, cementing the church's place in Novoros. He converted two people to Boaterism, Jeremy ad Alendir-Vulidion, and a random woman, and later that day, tamed a horse and named it Harold, after Harold Ad Alendir. He then traveled to Soumere-Serenus, a Tortugan province, and converted a single person there to Boaterism. 
==== Navigator of Boaterism ====
Saunic was now the leader of a thriving community, Boaterism. Jeremy ad Alendir-Vulidion went on a spree of converting people to the Boaterist Church, bringing in more members, like Ze Alaric Thalos, to be in Saunic's church. One day, Saunic was walking by the Fjörgyien sheep farm, when he noticed something. There was a dark aura around one of the sheep. He knew that the sheep in Fjörgyien had some sort of power, but he found this one in particular more dangerous. He grabbed it out of its pen, and sealed it in a cage outside of Fjorgyien's inner walls. He bestowed the name Robert Sheepson to this sheep, but decided to refer to it as Bob. Meanwhile, the Boaterist Church was slowly growing in numbers, becoming one of the bigger religions in Enithica-Novoros. 
==== Maintenance ====
Saunic spent his time after Boaterism gained popularity, doing what he wanted, and also maintaining the church. Some things he did, not in order, include rebuilding the Boat Tower a few times with his followers, stopping Sir Sonic and his group from destroying the Boat tower, helping with the banishing of Sir Sonic from Sirradra, being elected to the grand council again, replacing Bob with Bob II, watching the rise, and fall, of Bobberism, overseeing the cleansing of Jeremy ad Alendir-Vulidion from the curse of Bob II, and more. His actions consisted of many small things around this time, with no significant connection to each other, except the fact that he was involved in them.
==== Schism of Boaterism ====
Eventually, Saunic set on a mission to find the corpse of Bob I, who was dead. It took many days, but eventually, he found it, The body rotting, he took the sheep carcass to the basement of the church in Vidona, and while experimenting on the properties of demon flesh, he accidentally fell face first into it and ate some. He didn't think much of it, but later, he started feeling quite fatigued. It took hosting a feast for him to finally recognize this. He was infected with the curse of Bob, and he started to have sheeplike features appear on him. Later, Timothy the Terrible, a demon similar to Bob, contacted him to tell him of Iristor. Saunic made some statements in support of Iristor, something seemingly unpopular with his followers, and combined with too close of an affiliation with the R.A.T, Sir Sonic's group, he was faced with either stepping down as leader of Boaterism, or a schism would happen. Saunic, being overly stubborn, declined. This left almost the entire church of Boaterism to flock to a new church of Boaterism, led by Harold Teutonicus Ad Alendir, leaving Saunic as the leader of a Church with only him inside it.
==== Saunic's Duel ====
Ze Alaric Thalos died. After his funeral, Saunic challenged Harold Teutonicus Ad Alendir to a duel, as to prove who's idea was right. After going over the rules of the duel, Saunic attacked. They fought for about thirty seconds, around the colosseum in Eleysae, but Saunic was struck down. He wasn't dead, and Harold Teutonicus Ad Alendir offered to help him, but Saunic declined. He tried to heal himself with his potatoes, but he ingested a poisonous potato instead. He kept seeing the ghost of Ze Alaric Thalos, but he just stalled his demise until Ze Alaric forcefully took his hand and his soul got transported to the Flaitheas, the afterlife.
