Udo Teshome

Udo Teshome was the First Prince of the Veritasian Empire and the founder of the "Golden Flame Alliance". After his father's tragic death via poisoning, Udo, his sister Kirabo, and several of their allies were forced to flee during their uncle Obi's coup. Allying himself with the pirate Bloodthorn and his crew, he was given a strange device containing an evil spirit to empower him. He managed to defeat his uncle and ascend the throne after weeks of fighting, ruling until his death by illness years later.
==History==
===Early Life===
WIP
==Personality==
Udo was a noble and just man, focused on doing the right thing and not trampling on the lives and/or rights of others. This drove him to oppose his uncle during the Ambani War of Succession, feeling that his dictatorial reign would kill countless people and ultimately destroy the country. He was also somewhat ignorant towards the problems that himself and others were facing, preferring to keep himself blind to people's struggles rather than deal with the mental anguish that they bring.
==Skills and Abilities==
Having been raised as King Demilade's heir, Udo was knowledgeable on the politics of Veritas and how to rule the nation. This extended to him possessing skills in strategizing, able to direct units of soldiers like a military captain despite having little experience. Beyond this, he also had decent abilities in swordplay, able to hold his own against more capable fighters.
Udo was a Duster with an affinity for sand and dust magic. He was capable of breaking apart earth-based substances (dirt, stone, mud, clay, etc.) into small particles. He could then manipulate these particles, shaping them into numerous different forms. Additionally, due to his pact with the Demon of Sloth, he had an increased healing factor and could not be killed by conventional weaponry. He could also negate the pain of himself and others, as well as hypnotize people.
==Character Connections==
Demilade Teshome: Udo's father and predecessor. Bonding with him during his training to become the next king, Udo saw his father as a noble (if yet flawed) leader. Mourning his death, Udo became determined to live up to his reputation and lead the country in his stead, protecting his father's nation from those who wished to harm it.
Kirabo Teshome: Udo's younger sister. He deeply cared for her and did everything in his power to protect her from those who harassed her for her skin condition. During the Ambani War of Succession, Udo fought alongside her against their uncle, impressed by the latent fighting skills she possessed. After becoming King, he kept in contact with her as she explored the wider world and making sure she was okay.
William Batley: Udo's ally during the Ambani War of Succession and later friend. They initially fought one another as much as Obi's forces, with Udo seeing William as a "foreign idiot". Over time, the two slowly came to respect one another for their similarities and differences. After ascending to the throne, Udo worked with William to forge an alliance between Veritas and Eshland.
Zera Teshome: Udo's cousin and successor. At first, he only saw her as a victim, a young girl who was being manipulated by her father into becoming a puppet queen. During the Battle of the Tower, however, he was saved by her, as she made her own contract with Belphegor, using their power to finally stand up to Obi. He later adopted her as a little sister, providing her a room in the royal palace and eventually having her become his successor after his death.
Obi Teshome: Udo's uncle and enemy. Occasionally seeing him at royal family gatherings, Udo thought he was nothing but that one weird uncle. However, this was shattered by Obi's attempted coup, and Udo began to see him for who he truly was: a cruel and corrupt dictator who thirsted for power. He then became determined to stand up to him and keep him from turning Veritas into a broken police state.
