Pidge

His eminence, Pidge is a statesman, artist, artisan, engineer, strategist, professor and rector (1st Rector of the University of Burgamere) and theologian (1st Theolog of the Voluptarian Temple) who found themselves placed upon this earth in Deviks, a large hilly, island-bound motte-and-bailey city, constituting the capital of the temperate, westernmost province of what now constitutes the United Burgamerian Socialist Republic, Deviks. Upon finalizing their education, he moved to Voskovy, a city that more so served to quell his dislike of the surmounting monotony of life in the cobbleclad fortress-city of Deviks. Upon making residency there, he began to forward his services to the UBSR in the form of artistic means, assisting in the production of many mediums of artistic substance, from propaganda, to cartography, and emblems and flags, as well as composing official documentation, drafts, infographics, charts, and more with the goal of forwarding the affairs of the UBSR to constitute the granting of freedom amongst all people across Rathnir. 
== Appearance ==
=== Old Skin ===
Pidge's appearance, as of the 19th of August, 2021, constitutes the image of a well-armoured general, with gilded bronze plate with shoulder pads, crimson red shawl, sash, and under-armour gambeson, accompanied with a gilded bronze belt-skirt, a set of silver and gold armbands on the left arm, with leather-strap bracing for sword-grip on the right, fastened around the palm down to the elbow, Tyrian purple-lined white shorts, and leather strap bracings that extend as apart of the sole of the sandal up the leg. This is topped with an olive-brance laurel crown atop the head.
=== New Skin ===
Pidge's appearance, as of the 22nd of August, 2021, depicts him in a red waistcoat with the lower flaps pulled back, revealing the cluottes and stockings, and pulled back red cuffs on an outer teal frock coat, bearing gold buttons, and a frilly white jabot. He is seen bearing either a bicorne or tricorne, and with a styled goatee and mustache.
== Occupations ==
While in Deviks, Pidge remained at-large, fulfilling communal roles as they were needed. Upon leaving and making residence in Voskovy, Pidge took up the responsibilities as the commune's brewer and creamer, acting as the supply for dairy goods and libations as needed for both citizens of Voskovy themselves, and the greater market as a whole.
== Significancies ==
He is known for designing the Iconography of the UBSR, such as the flag, emblems, maps, and such. He is also known for his fondness of pigeons, and their many uses, from the Messanger to the Boulder, and their significance to his studies; regardless, he has an extreme hatred of the appropriating actions, and crass makeup of the Cult of (the) Pigeon.
He proceeded to found the Voluptarian Temple, whose Premier Temple is in the holy Commune of Voskovy, and the University of Burgamere, of which he is currently the first rector of, and is a professor at. Such a university is also held at the Commune of Voskovy, and is the first graduate institution of education in the UBSR.
== Religious Development ==
While born agnostic, as common within the social culture of his place of birth, upon developing his scholarship, made contact with prominent Rathniran theologians, eventually finding a soft-spot for the theology, and perspectives of Festianity during his relatively short residency in the City-State of Festivia, and investment as a Priest of Festianity, a position he held of which he now holds neutral feelings of, having now discarded the faith. In developing his own theories and interpretations, becoming a practitioner of Festivity, Pidge came to the conclusion he must compile new alternative religious conclusions and spread them to those holding similar sympathies. These theses came to fruition as the newly formed religion, Voluptarianism, while still holding it to an everdeveloping interpretation, forgoing theological literalism in his work, having established himself as the 1st Theolog of the Voluptarian Temple, the head scholar of the faith, a position of which he has since abandoned, dissolving the whole system of Voluptarian Polity, leaving it to a system of freelance and decentralized priesthood, now having coalesced with other theologians to transform the theories and tenants of his now prior faith, Voluptarianism, into a new religion, that of The Cult of Reason.
== Scholarship and Rectorship ==
At the 21st of August 2021 State of the Union Conference of the United Burgamerian Socialist Republic, Pidge announced his plans for the reform and transformation of the Library and Archives of the Commune of Voskovy, into the University of Burgamere, the UBSR's first ever higher education institution, of which is undergoing expansion into a proper forefront of knowledge within the UBSR. The university will feature a number of courses taught by himself and other professors, and have educational exchanges with people from across Rathnir, sharing the knowledge owed to all workers of the world.
