== Life History ==
=== Early Life of Vlitiar ===
Vlitiar was born and raised in Lumenos, a distant dimension across the multiverse. At the time Lumenos had just transformed from a shattered collection of petty warlord city-states, into a nation that united the entire dimension, known as the Diarchy of Lumeni, commonly referred to as Lumeni. Vlitiar was born mere days after the full unification of Lumeni, in the city of Archia. Being born into a former Archian noble family, she experienced a slow transition of living in luxury, to living in a penthouse, down to a standard apartment as she grew into a young adult. Feeling downtrodden by her family's loss of influence and wealth, she was gripped by Lumenite nationalist sentiment and propaganda administered by her school. Eventually after graduating school she enlisted for government service, eventually being selected to be on the archeologist department. Her team was sent out across the worlds to discover and recover artifacts of long ruined cities and holy sites. 
Eventually through trials and tribulations, multiple government reformations and several dramatic events in Lumenos, a comic multiverse event known as the Hive Cascade caused the dimension of Lumenos to shatter, its people, lands & structures were spread across the multiverse in a chaotic matter. 
Vlitiar was tasked by the government, Second Triarchy of Lumeni, to go out with a small foraging party to the strange world of Eldham to locate and retrieve Lumenos ruins & artifacts that had been sent through time and space to Eldham. Being granted the holy blade of HiveBane, she was dispatched on her mission. Upon arriving, Vlitiar and her crewmate Fadnar quickly discovered a Lumenish ruin under a secluded wooded town, Paelliwa. Conversing with Quercus, the governor of the region, Vlitiar and Fadnar settled in Paelliwa and built a home above the ruins, excavating in secret. 
However during this time, the entire foraging crew has started to become engrained and fond of Eldham, Vlitiar and Fadnar eventually were married in Paelliwa, becoming fond with one another over the journey. Seeking a pass time Vlitiar joined the local government of Verden, tempting her further to settle in Eldham as her new home.
Soon after in 275 of the Traveller's Era, Vlitiar attempted to shift back into Lumenos only to find a void, Lumenos had been atomized in an unknown catastrophic event, leaving a handful of Lumenites alive across the multiverse. Noticing that shifting between realms was taking longer and more physically exhausting, she decided return to her new home, Vlitiar ultimately decided to permanently settle in Eldham.
=== Life in Eldhamite Verden ===
Shortly after arriving in Verden, Vlitiar attempted to curry favor with the local powers by working on public works, namely redoing the entire Verden road network. This received appraisal from the Governor, Quercus Tekaya. Vlitiar was gifted the Kovaña position, a local government position aiding the Governor in Provincial matters. Around this time however, Vlitiar's husband, Fadnar, disappeared into the forests of Verden, and is presumed dead. It was after Fadnar's disappearance that any and all work on excavating the Lumenite ruins underneath Paelliwa ended, reminding Vlitiar too much of her husband and lost home. Instead, she delved headfirst into Kovaña work to distract herself from her losses.
It was during this time that Altryae became apart of the Verden province in Raiyuna. Vlitiar soon began volunteering to help repel bandits from the new lands, meeting their leader Se'hya Kasa. It was during this that Se'hya and Vlitiar soon became best friends, often seen pranking and accompanying eachother in Verden, becoming a nuisance around Raiyuna. With Se'hya becoming a Tekaya soon after, they became sisters.
After working for the common good of Verden for several years she was eventually given control of the abandoned Droveswood project. Originally meant to be the national library, the main structure was transformed into the Raiyunatti Lesser Council house. Now with the power over a city, Vlitiar began to romanticize a city born of cultural union of Lumenite and Verden Druid origins. Beginning work almost immediately, she slaved away at the project for a year. With new responsibilities, Vlitiar was granted admission into the noble family of Tekaya, house of Quercus Tekaya. Eventually Vlitiar was even offered a role on the Queen's Council in Umakwa, everything Vlitiar wanted was coming true. However it was at this moment that everything was brought to ash. Prophecies foretold of a great destruction, that would burn and wipe clean the slate of Rathnir and Eldham, destroying the worlds. Bubbling up repressed feelings and deja vu of Lumenos, Vlitiar broke down into a balling mess on a cobbled street of Droveswood. She knew that all her work and future work was all for naught, and the extinction of her new home was on its way. Crying herself to sleep on the tear soaked stones, she fell into a depressive state.
Remaining in her home for weeks at a time, Vlitiar became bitter and angry. Vlitiar accepted this political prize however it did little to naught on changing her depressive state. Eventually her sister Se'hya Tekaya requested aid in the Drakaes civil war, eager to distract herself and unleash bottled rage, Vlitiar volunteered. Vlitiar fought at the Second Battle of Velenu, which ended in a draw. However during the battle, Se'hya perished before Vlitiar's eyes. Before the fighting had ceased, she had slain one of the defenders and retreated from the battle with various dismembered heads as trophies. With her only battle in the new world ending in the death of her best friend, Vlitiar's bottled rage and frustrations bled out into depression and self-destructive tendencies. 
=== Short Life in Abexilas ===
Vlitiar arrived in Abexilas alongside the Raiyunatti survivors on the skyships, touching down at the first mountains they saw breaking the clouds. With Raiyuna becoming Eiszura, Vlitiar kept her place on the Queen's Council. However with her most recent traumatization and loss of Se'hya, and her nation beginning its decent into a theocratic hyper-religious state, Vlitiar began to drift around, rarely showing herself in the settlement or the construction sites of the Tekaya Manor. Still, Vlitiar's bloodlust fueled her to aggressively defend the new nations territories, including secretly butchering squatters on the newly annexed Island territory. Vlitiar began to indulge vices, drinking more and more whilst also visiting taverns, often renting rooms with various patrons of the tavern for nights of pleasure. It was one night that she took to bed with Saoshi Naruma. 
It was in the Autumn of the 22nd Voyagers year that Vlitiar began having coldsweats, body aches and various bodily ailments. After seeing a spiritual leader in Eiszura, Vlitiar discovered she carried a child. Completely unprepared for the news, she panicked and made her way into the Tekaya manor to seek the guidance of Quercus, the only person she wholeheartedly trusted. For Lumenites, Maternal Mortality rates are 100%, the process of delivering a child dismembers the internal organs of the mother, like a bee losing its stinger. Vlitiar was face to face with her mortality, closing in mere months. 
With a new final countdown beginning, Vlitiar finally lifted from her depressive nostalgia of Lumenos & Eldham. Feeling guilty for neglecting to foster Se'hya's daughter Kaeva, Vlitiar began to regularly mail and contact her goddaughter. Dumping depleting energy into finalizing the Tekaya Manor's construction, it was finally completed. In honor of her dedication and previous position in Verden, she was granted the top room of the Manor. Spending most of her remaining time in company of her Tekaya family, she soon became bedridden in the Spring. 
Finally on her last day, surrounded by the Tekaya's and various members of the court, Vlitiar gave birth to a daughter, which she hastily named Lufimar, or Love in her native tongue. Pleading with Quercus that she be fostered by the Tekaya clan and inherit her mother's titles, she passed within minutes. Her funeral and burial were carried out the same day, being buried in the Tekaya graveyard. 
== Appearance ==
Vlitiar is a tall woman with longer brown hair, dyed red alone the tips. Her Lumenite Golden Amber eyes were accompanied by her soft facial features and light frame. When not at home, she is often seen in her general attire, a rugged explorer outfit with light armoring. In hilt she wields a Lumenite holy blade named HiveBane, a longsword made of a deep metallic purple material, exuding a light glowing purple mist when swung. In her home attire she is often seen wearing plain attire with minimal adornment. Connected to nature, she often attaches an assortment of colorful flowers and herbs to her outfits.
== Personality ==
=== Early Life ===
Due to an end of the regional nobility in Lumeni, Vlitiar grew up resentful of her family's declining status in society and was easily driven by the Nationalist propaganda of the State. Growing up she was extremely bitter and narcissistic person, seeing friendly banter and jokes as slights against herself. Struggling to make any friends at all, she was primarily a loner in her youth. This bitterness and antisocial personality stuck with her through all the way to adulthood, only changing with the major upsets in her mid-life era.
=== Mid Life ===
When sent to Eldham to retrieve Lumenite artifacts, her team was made up of four other Lumenites of different skills. Her main partner was Fadnar, a herbalist to document any new fauna or life in Eldham. As other members of the mission began to die across Eldham, and especially after the destruction of Lumenos, Vlitiar's jaded outside began to shrivel towards Fadnar. Seeing him as the only remaining Lumenite with her, she viewed him as the only one able to truly understand her emotions, and she began to open up and show a more caring side to Fadnar. Eventually agreeing to marry Fadnar in Paelliwa, their very flawed marriage didn't last long. Seeing Fadnar as an outlet to trauma-dump and let out all her feeling onto, Fadnar became a unwilling mental punching bag to his wife. After a heated argument, Fadnar took off into the forest, never to be seen again. 
Left alone, all progress on the mission halted and Vlitiar user her job in Verden's government as a massive distraction to her seemingly purposeless existence. As Vlitiar entered her weakest state, she completely opened up, becoming a very honest person yet trying her best to be kind, afraid to be alone again. Over her time working for Verden she befriended the Governor Quercus, who softened her racism to non-Lumenite peoples. It was also during this time that she met and befriended Se'hya Kasa, who soon became her adopted sister. Se'hya utterly tore apart Vlitiar's remaining mask of superiority, and they became a playful nuisance across Raiyuna. Se'hya became Vlitiar's closest friend, unable to part from each other yet also constantly teasing each other. Vlitiar became a very bubbly and generous person, yet still firm in her confidence by her new relationships with Se'hya and the Tekaya clan, eventually joining them. Her newfound family had empowered her and brightened her life in every way, this was the bright period of her life. 
It only after the destruction of Eldham and Rathnir was prophesized that Vlitiar changed once again. Without any of her defenses up or mental shield of superiority, feeling connected to her new family, the news was utterly devastating. Often carried back home crying by Paelliwan pedestrians, she became a depressive mess. It was during this time that her Tekaya family was unable to comfort her either, Quercus was busy trying to build skyships to save the nation, whilst Se'hya became caught up in the Drakean civil war engulfing Altryae. Becoming cooped up in her home, she once again started to become bitter but rage fueled at the universe. Lumenos being stripped from her, regrets with her ex-husband, and now the end of her new home, she seeked an outlet for her rage, a bloodthirst. This, was given to her when a letter arrived from her sister.
=== Late Life ===
Se'hya requested her family's help in the civil war, the first attack on the Drakaen city of Velenu had failed, and was under threat of losing Altryae. Vlitiar quickly departed for the gathering site alongside Quercus. Armed with HiveBane, the Tekaya family reunion happened within the walls of a fortress prepped for war. During the Battle, Vlitiar realized her combat training in Lumenos had long since rusted, unable to press the pursuit on several straggling defenders. It wasn't until a shrieking hiss was heard, looking over to the fortified church, she witnessed her sister Se'hya fall through the old roof. The creeky old building then collapsed in, shooting clouds of choking asbestos in the air. Vlitiar rushed over to the ruin, desperately digging through the rubble, coughing from the poisoned air. Fueled by rage she managed to behead one of her assailants, before being forcefully dragged into retreat by Quercus, as the attackers had been routed. Vlitiar became catatonic on the ride back to Raiyuna with Quercus. 
Vlitiar was devastated at the loss of her bestfriend, her sister. She felt that she had abandoned her, so distraught over another world ending that she couldn't act to save her sister, her newfound family. There wasn't anytime for her to mourn, only a few days later Raiyuna's skyships departed Eldham to seek refuge elsewhere while the old world was destroyed in a comet. Aboard the ship, Se'hya's only surviving daughter Kaeva, whom Quercus agreed to foster. Convincing herself she had failed to save Se'hya and abandoned the Tekayas and her nation, she was rarely seen around the new Eiszura settlement. Afraid to see Quercus or any other Tekayas, Vlitiar drifted around Eiszura, staying in the seedy taverns across Halinn. Eventually recreating her Paelliwa Cabin in LulaMaishi, when she was in Eiszura she was in solitude. When she did visit the Tekaya Manor, she couldn't make eye contact with Kaeva, terrible waves of guilt and thoughts of Se'hya flooded her heart, both for her lost sister and for neglecting her goddaughter. 
The trauma had soaked Vlitiar too much, too much to process or hold, snowballing guilt. She began to be self-destructive, rampant alcoholism took root in the taverns she frequented. Her bloodthirst remained strong as she brutally slaughtered the squatters in Eiszura's territories, often charging into battle by herself against multiple opponents. Despite knowing the risks, Vlitiar began to rent rooms with her random bar buddies, one of which was Saoshi Naruma. An apathy had taken hold for her own life, a mask of coldness sliding over her. 
In 22 VE Vlitiar discovered that she was pregnant from Saoshi. A mix of panic and apathy flowed over her, and she finally left the taverns behind to make way for the Tekaya Manor. Being comforted by Quercus, who had since become the religious leader of Eiszura, she plotted out the remainder of her life. Pouring her depleting energy into completing the Tekaya Manor, and trying to remain in contact with her now grown goddaughter Kaeva. Vlitiar grew into a final stage of nostalgic acceptance of her death, once again returning to a somber version of her brighter personality in Eiszura. Up until her last day, she strived to aid her family in everyway she could, feeling obligated to pour her soul into them. 
== Lumenite Race ==
Vlitiar Lumeni is a member of the Lumenite race. Lumenites are humanoids originating from Lumenos, with the remarkable ability to shift between dimensions, a power granted to the Lumenites by their deity; Godion. The only difference in appearance between humans and Lumenites is that Lumenite eyes are always variations of a Golden color. Physiologically, Lumenites maternal mortality rates are 100%, the process of delivery ruptures most internal organs of the mother.
