Mydasian

== The Barbary State Arc ==
=== First Days In Abexelis ===
Mydasian was a newcomer to this land, seeking prosperity and opportunity. Mydasian couldn't find any success in these lands however, Mydasian was only met with tragedy, and hardship. His settlement on the northern shore of kejafros was subject to raids by the barbarous sea peoples of Abexalisis north eastern ocean. It was in one of these raids, that the rural community of the area would collapse, and become subject to barbarian rule. Mydasian escaped, fleing far into the north eastern ocean, alongside His companion Zeebo, a potato farmer, who seeing the barbary in the nearby lands, decided to flee as well. Together  They sailed the north eastern ocean for days, seeking still a land of prosperity. The north eastern sea, however, proved to be only more treacherous than the land ever was. The north eastern sea was the heartland of the sea barbarians, a vast desolate stretch of water, in which brought upon its dwellers a constant fight for survival, in which they brought out their worst instincts, and crushed any moral goodness they once had. Prosperity would not be found here. It was in this ocean that Mydasian and Zeebo were captured by a group of these sea barbarians.  They were starved, beaten, tortured, and stripped of all that  They had, at the amusement of the sea barbarians. Once the sea barbarians had their fun, they threw Them overboard, leaving Them to drown at sea.  They fought hard to survive, but zeebo soon lost hope of prosperity. Zeebo became convinced that  They would never find opportunity in an exelis, that prosperity was a false hope. He gave up, and he went quickly. Mydasian continued fighting for survival; however, Mydasian still believed in prosperity.
=== Foundation Of Barbary Town ===
Mydasian stayed afloat, swimming for days, until one fateful morning, where Mydasian finally made sight of land. It turns out, Mydasian had found an island, but not just any ordinary island, however. This was an island filled with riches. Chests were filled with stacks upon stacks of gold, diamonds, and netherite. The most famed and legendary armor was displayed for all to see, artifacts of great wars long gone. The most beautiful and extravagant houses filled the land, greater than any structure Mydasian had seen before. Here, was where Mydasian cracked, finally submitting to the influences of savagery and barbary that plagued this ocean. Mydasian started stealing, robbing, and looting the entire island, acting like the barbarians Mydasian had fled from not so long ago. Not too long after His landing, another individual would find this island as well. His name was Ruku, and just like me, he was collected by the influences of this treacherous sea, and he too, started stealing, robbing, and looting the entire island. Soon enough,  They would meet each other at the center of the island, both of Them overtaken by greed and selfishness. Their contact was not one that spiraled into violence and brutality however, but one that encouraged collaboration and cooperation.  They decided that, splitting the island's richest amongst themselves shelves, would bring Them more wealth and success, compared to fighting over it, risking Their own deaths, and the loss of this fortune in the process. So together  They jointly started stealing, robbing, and looting from the island. However,  They soon would face a problem. There was just too much riches present on the island for Them to take. There seems to be an infinite amount of chests, with an infinite amount of luxuries, and of course, there was still the valuable infrastructure of the island, its houses and farms, luxuries  They couldn't exactly move and bring along with them. It was here where  They had the idea of settling the island, putting the land under Their rule, so  They could for the rest of Their lives, have control of all of its riches, not a single drop of wealth out of Their grasp. By settling the land, not only did  They not need to pick and choose what luxuries  They needed to sacrifice and leave behind, but  They also could avoid leaving behind its valuable infrastructure, systems put in place across the island, that could generate even more wealth and riches, then what was already present, ensuring  They could stay successful and prosperous for the rest of Their lives. So, Barbary Town was founded, a land which could facilitate, expand, and care for Their growing industry and ideology of barbarism and savagery.
=== Rise Of The Barbary State ===
For a long time after this, Mydasian and Ruku stayed as some of the top warlords in the northeastern sea. Not only did They expand their operations on Their own island, building new islands and revitalizing an old, automated cactus farm factory, allowing Them to make thousands off of the trans-oceanic XP trade, but  They also started raiding and pillaging other islands as well. Day after day,  They would set sail on Their boats, navigating across the north eastern sea, in search of new islands, similar to theirs. When a new island was found,  They would depart onto the coast, armed with the most prestigious and advanced weaponry and arms  They had available to us, and would storm the island, ravenging all that  They found. Everything of value that  They saw,  They would steal, rob, and loot. Nothing of importance was left behind. Nearly almost, if not all, of what was present on the island, was taken.  They would then destroy the island's infrastructure.  They would burn down the houses, tear down the farms and factories, decimate the ground and ruin the landscape. This ensured that these islands remained weak and frail, so  They could easily plunder them again in the near future, with no worries about resistance, opposition, or having to run through the process again. All loot gathered in these expeditions was taken back to Barbary city to be stored, further enhancing and growing Their already immense and expansive wealth.  They had created an expansive maritime empire, an archipelago consisting of vassals, puppet states, and tributaries, all under the dominion and the realm of Barbary City, the center of this neo-colonial empire. This was the Barbary State.
=== End Of The Barbary State ===
==== Rise Of Lasoon ====
Meanwhile in the east a great conqueror was arising, one that would spell the end of the barbary state. He went under the alias of “Lasoon”, and under his command, a great fleet departed into the northeast ocean. This was a fleet unlike any other in the northeast ocean. Most barbary peoples of the sea, although formidable, did not have access to the advanced military technology of settled civilizations. This was mostly because the weapons they did possess, was obtained through the pillaging of relatively lowly coastal cities, who were not advanced enough nor close enough to large centers of development, to gain access to these new military technologies. Lasoons fleet, therefore, was almost uncontested in military might throughout the sea, an unstoppable force that no one in the ocean would ever have the capacity nor the ability to defeat. Lasoons fleet conquered every island they came across, pruning these islands of all of their barbarous people, often through very violent and brutal means. Any individual with a record of savergary, brutality, tribalism, or uncivilized behavior, would be beaten to death on sight. There were no exceptions, and there was no mercy. Lasoon would have every barbarian in the sea dead, the entire culture extinct, or he would die trying. Soon, the Lasoon fleet entered the territorial waters of the Barbary State, and shortly later, almost all of the western vasseles, tributaries, and puppet states, had been liberated. There was no fight, no pushback, no resistance from the Barbary State, for there was absolutely nothing they could do. The barbary state was outmatched in military strength, technology, strategy, advantages, and just raw numbers, any fight they put up, would end in mere seconds. 
==== Escape To Adramis ====
Mydasian and Ruku accepted their fate, and both soon started packing their most valuable items, to be taken with them, when they fled barbary town. They carefully picked and chose the items of most importance, significance, and noteworthiness. The island, however, contained even more riches and wealth now, then ever before, and they knew for a fact it was impossible for all of this luxury to be taken with them. All other indulgences or extravagances were quickly sold, the island's riches being transferred into montitary, currency based metric, to be easily accumulated, stored, and brought with them. Days later, the island was abandoned, all of its wealth and riches, disappeared and missing, alongside its only two inhabitants. Once again, Mydasian and Ruku were on the run, traversing the seas of the north east, searching for safety, refugee, and asylum, while hiding from Lasoon, and his imperial fleet. Since Lesson's fleet sailed from the east towards the west, they would be least prevalent in the east, and that's the direction opposite from where they had sailed. This encouraged Mydasian and Ruku to sail east, for the regions in that direction, they would need to worry least about the possibility of being found and captured by Lasoon. So they made their way east, sailing non stop, all day and all night. This continued, until one fateful morning, when in the distance, Mydasian and Ruku made sight of land. However, vise versa, someone on this land made sight of the quickly approching Mydasian and Ruku in the ocean. This individual went by the name “Pokemon5616”, and he was the economic minister of Las-Vides, a state in larger nation of “The United States Of Adramis”, and as it turns out, Las-Vides, was the land that Mydasian and Ruku were both sailing to. Once Mydasian and Ruku had made contact with the shore, and had departed their vessel, they made contact with Pokemon5616, an interaction that turned out to be quite friendly and hospital, and furthermore, fortunate for the two refugees from the sea. As it turns out, Las-Vides was seeking to recruit and invite new individuals to its state, to expand the citizenry, and to bolster a arger economical, cultural, technological, and developmental renaissance with a larger population. Pokemon5616 saw Mydasian and Ruku as two useful individuals, in a position ripe for recruitment. Pokemon5616 offered Mydasian and Ruku asylum in Las-Vides, and the United States of Adramis at large, as well as economic relief, and land in which they could settle and expand upon. Mydasian and Ruku, both were eager at this proposition, and both quickly accepted this invitation. A few days later, Mydaisan and Ruku found that their applications for citizenship in Las-Vides as well as The United States of Adramis, had been approved, and that, finally, they were safe. With the land given to them, Mydasian started constructing a hotel, and looked into getting more involved in The United States of Adramis politics.
