Pesto Poultrix

Sir Pesto Osenlufzer Poultrix is a Volucrine of the 'novoculi' subspecies who formerly served as the King of Veldion. He is also a member of Sirradra, Plagatéa, Vyspos and Nebskoslavia and was a former member of Kažan, Zamože and Ryzan.
== Origin==
Sir Pesto Poultrix hails from a nation far beyond the borders of Rathnir, known as Poultria, situated in the continent of Avika. Poultria is comprised of chickenmen (Volucrines) such as he. He lived in a great city near it's capital, named Chik'n, which was one of the oldest cities all of Poultria, as the city was once home to an ancient civilization of Volucrines. Pesto is from a prestigious and wealthy family in Poultria. His great-grandfather invented the first explosives in Poultria, noted to be rather similar to Rathnir's TNT. This was sold all across Poultria, and his family amassed much wealth off of it. As Rathnir was discovered by Poultrians very recently, Pesto became the first Avikan to step foot in Rathnir. Before the Poultrians discovered Rathnir, it was believed that humans were only present in a continent named Inaer, east of Avika. Prior to the 11th century IS, it was also a common belief and stereotype that they were a small, uncivilized species, despite having organised kingdoms and militaries, which still had affects on modern relations between the species. However, since the Poultrian discovery of Rathnir, it has been noted by the public that humans are capable of things the other intelligent races in Avika could, such as the Sphenites and Larens, and the stereotype is all but gone.
== Description ==
Poultrix has white feathers covering his body, with a yellow beak and shank, the latter of which are hidden by his gray cloth pants which are tucked into his black boots. He wears the red coat of a Poultrian naval officer, an artifact from his short time in the navy. The coat, which has gold lacing and shoulder pads, was not originally his, as he purchased it from a resigned officer. He wears a black tricorne hat, which is also laced with gold. He has a red cloth tied around his waist as a belt. He has a white undercoat, and the laced sleeves are folded over the coat at the hand. Poultrix has green eyes, common for the subspecies he belongs to, V. g. novoculis. He lacks wattles, lobes and a comb. The apparent lack of these features is another characteristic of the novoculi. Poultrix has a strong Poultrian accent, meaning he speaks with hard vowels, rolled R's, and V's which sound like F's. Poultrix has a love for knowledge of all kinds, and often browses libraries across Rathnir. He has made around six journeys, exploring about half of Rathnir, from Ryzan to Tortuga, and the ocean between Rathnir and Avika on foot and by boat.
== Time in Avika ==
Pesto Poultrix was born to Vateres Poultrix, Dux of Chik'n, and his wife, Ceresia Poultrix ne Adalle c. 252 BJC in the city of Chik'n in the Kingdom of Poultria. 
== Time in Rathnir==
=== Polskrige ===
Poultrix departed from the port city of Carcael in the Gulland in Winter 49 AJC. Poultrix sailed to Rathnir in a small boat, landing in the southern regions of Sørligste in Spring 56 AJC (May 8, 2021). It is here that he met Duegy, or Dug. They journeyed to Plagos, where they planned to make a city on an island they found, unaware of the city of Donfuer nearby. Duegy noticed the city, and they moved south. In Winter 57 AJC (May 11, 2021), Poultrix founded the settlement of Polskrige, funded mainly by Dug. The two of them were formerly the Kings of the Diarchy of Polskon, until Dug stepped down to become the duke of their capital. Both of them were entirely unaware of the existing nation of Plagatéa. Following the assimilation of Polskon into Plagatéa in Winter 58 AJC (May 15, 2021), Poultrix became the Governor of Polskrige, and in Winter 72 AJC (July 10, 2021), became the Lord of the Plagatéan province, Polskon, which later became known as Veldion.
Poultrix played a major role in the Polskrigian Bandit Conflict. He helped end it by killing the bandit SLIDEY_PENGUIN. The main page can be found here. It was around the time of this conflict that Ivall Vateresson Poultrix, Pesto's half-human half-brother arrived in the city of Polskrige. 
After Pesto's reign as King of Veldion ended in Summer 83 AJC (August 25, 2021), he returned to his home of Poultria. While there, he learned that his brother had ascended to the throne. This is because the Queen of Poultria prior to Pesto's brother had passed without an heir. She was known as Queen Jamella Miriel Poultrix-Spheni. Pesto, his brother, and Ivall were all descended from a king named Soiezas the Pureblooded, or Soiezas Pureblood. Soiezas was a member of 'Clan Poult', which would eventually evolve into two main houses: House Poultrix, the senior line and House Poultrix-Spheni, the junior line that had come to power following a brief civil war. After staying for a time he returned to Rathnir in Autumn 109 AJC (December 8, 2021).
===Kurakrige===
In late 2021/early 2022, Poultrix founded the small town of Kurakrige on a small island at the northernmost point of the Arlin Lake. It was originally created to harbor criminals, and still serves its purpose by hiding non-believers from the Neroic Cult. He lives there with numerous other people, including his half-brother. During the Veldski Civil War (Spring 142 - Spring 149 AJC / April 17 - May 15 2022), the people of Kurakrige, including Poultrix, supported the Monarchist faction led by King Aditya. Poultrix personally was disappointed following the defeat of those he supported. Kurakrige, however, remained untouched by Chumon Ito.
In Winter 154 AJC (June 3rd, 2022), cultists came to Kurakrige. They attempted to kill a resident, DMOcraft, and so they were killed by Duegy. The murder was never linked back to them, and Poultrix told investigating cultists that they had ran into the desert. No bodies were ever recovered. In Spring 156 AJC (June 12th, 2022), Poultrix attended the Battle of Nausicaa, against the Neroic Cult. He was joined by others from Kurakrige, who fought to take down the cult and to defend Arinovla. When the Plagatéan Succession Wars began in Winter 157 AJC (June 15th, 2022), Kurakrige was, in Poultrix's words, betrayed by the Arinovlans, as they had renamed themselves to the Third Plagatéan Empire and declared themselves enemies to Kurakrige. During the war, Kurakrige was the home of the Veldski Uprising, led by Poultrix. Although Poultrix lead the Uprising, he did not wish to become the King of Veldion again, and instead wished to elect a different king. He wished to then establish an autonomous region around Kurakrige within the future Kingdom of Veldion. The Uprising was populated mostly by the remnants of the Veldski United Front of the Veldski Civil War.Before its collapse, Avium traded goods with Kurakrige which increased the wealth of the Kurakrigian merchants. In Spring 166 AJC (July 22, 2022), the forces of Shogun-Regent Ieteru Kumagaya of the Plagatéan Regency were on their way to the gates of Kurakrige. An envoy stepped forth towards the gate, proclaiming, "Shogun Kumagaya, the one and only true regent of Plagatéa, the one that will lead us until our fallen lord returns, is approaching your petty settlement. You have been marked as a rebellion to the eyes of the Regency, and unless you pledge your allegiance to the true regent of our glorious state, we will have to use military action to ensure your loyalty." Poultrix stepped forward, and replied, "We will not bow to any Plagatéan unless our spirits leave our lifeless bodies! Piss off!" Yelling expletives and mocking Poultrix's accent, the envoy rode his horse back to his shogun. In Summer, the armies of Kumagaya marched into Kurakrige, razing the city. Poultrix survived and was left with burns and scars along his lower shanks.
=== Sirradra ===
In Autumn 194 AJC (November 13th, 2022), Poultrix was accepted immigration into the prefecture of Magnus Enithica within the Autokratia Sirradra. In the Winter of the following year, Enithica was declared its own province within Sirradra. In Winter 202 AJC (December 12th, 2022), Poultrix was given complete authority over the ghost town of Libertalia, and began reconstruction.
