== Life ==
=== Early Life ===
Wissam Doxenite VI was born many years ago in Doxenia, a holy city of Doxenism founded by his father, Wissam Doxenite V. Wissam's mother is unknown, originally making him a bastard. His father was initially reluctant to raise a bastard, however was soon convinced of Wissam's talent as a leader, leading him to legitimize Wissam as a Doxenite at the age of eight. Years later, at the age of 13, Wissam VI went to live in Valrusia, following the integration of Doxenia into Oceanum officially. He went to study under various Oceanumite politicians, being funded by his father to flourish his abilities in politics. 
=== Studying in Valrusia ===
Wissam VI enjoyed life in Valrusia, quickly assimilating into Oceanumite culture. He decided he wouldn't go back to live in Doxenia after meeting a girl in the town named Xena who he shared many interests with, quickly falling in love. Unfortunately for Wissam, Xena would go missing a year after the two met, never being seen again after this point. This lead Wissam into a series of depressive episodes, drastically altering his outlook on life. On his 16th birthday, Wissam would purchase a book from a local store in Valrusia which detailed various ideologies across Eldham. One ideology in particular, Xeroism, disgusted Wissam greatly. He focused all his attention on that specific portion of the book and nothing else, learning about the USSE and growing to hate Xeroists by the day. This is a prejudice Wissam carries with him today, never outgrowing his old beliefs on Xeroism. Wissam would continue to study in Valrusia, eventually meeting a charismatic man named Rage o' Fire. Wissam initially couldn't stand Rage, viewing his separatist tendencies as a threat to society and the cohesion of Oceanum. Shortly after this meeting, around Wissam's 19th birthday, the Realm of Fire Rebellion would occur, sending Oceanum spiraling into a period of darkness. 
=== Siege of Valrusia ===
Wissam, learning of the rebel forces marching on Valrusia, quickly packed up and fled the city to live in Urbastian. Wissam would leave many of his belongings behind, including his history books. This was a new beginning for Wissam, as he had been living in Valrusia for many years up to this point. News would eventually come one somber morning that the Grand Republic had fallen into enemy hands, learning of Rage's victory. Subsequent diplomatic actions would lead to the Forge annexing Oceanum. 
=== Life in the Forge ===
Wissam would hear the news of the Forge annexing Oceanum and would react with confusion. Wissam believed this would have massive implications on his ability to study, hearing rumors of the immense authority of the Forge. Wissam would be shocked to learn that it was quite the comfortable life in the Forge. Oceanum during this time would be governed by August Vizla Sov, one of Wissam's biggest inspirations and mentors for his modern political views and abilities as a leader. Wissam would take this time to travel across the Forge, meeting all kinds of new people including the Scions of the Forge. He would grow to admire these people, learning a lot about politics from them. He would eventually get the opportunity to do some diplomatic work under them, which was to investigate the Okinawa situation with dukasv, a rebel attempting to secede from Oceanum. Wissam would be unsuccessful in convincing dukasv to remain in the Forge, spawning the Republic of Sotrania, which would be a stain on his career for the foreseeable future. Despite this, Wissam learned a lot from this experience. Shortly before his 21st birthday, Oceanum would declare independence from the Forge, marking the beginning of the dissolution of the Forge.
=== 2nd Grand Republic of Oceanum ===
Wissam would be overjoyed to learn of the newly gained independence of Oceanum, however would be disappointed to discover that his peers did not share his admiration of the Forge. Despite Wissam VI learning much from the Forge and it's Scions, Wissam also loved Oceanum. This was a position that many would not understand, with many despising the Forge after this point. Wissam still reminisces of the days of the Forge, when he was free to travel a vast region of greatly different cultures. During this time, Wissam spent lots of time traveling to Al Razun, a city in the Razuni Sultanate, then part of the Zamotz Union. Because of his many visits, he would develop a deep admiration of Razuni culture and the Razuni people. For several years, the Republic would fall stagnant, eventually leading Wissam to plan out his next career action. Wissam would declare his intention to run for the position of 9th Prime Director of Oceanum during the term of Rage, the same man he initially hated but had later grown to respect over the period of relative peace in Oceanum. 
=== The 9th Prime Director of Oceanum ===
Wissam would run in the election on the 28th, securing a majority vote and winning the position of Prime Director. Wissam would soon conduct a census, a trend which would carry throughout Oceanum's recent history. Wissam would make many accomplishments, including the purchase of Valrusia from the Commonwealth of Kaladinia, the annexation of Sotrania back into Oceanum, the development of Oceanum's military, the ratification of Oceanum's first Constitution and the foundation of several influential towns, amongst many other accomplishments. Wissam would run for re-election in October, gaining another majority vote. Wissam would hold elections for the newly created branch of the Oceanumite government, the Magistrate. This branch would give provinces more voice in Oceanum, as he intended. All was well for the first couple weeks, however many would begin to point out that the Magisters had far too much power than they should've. Wissam would never get a chance to fix this issue, as his term ended and he decided against running for re-election.
=== Period of Isolation ===
Following Wissam's term ending, he would go to live on the Doxenite Estate to focus on raising his family. During this time, he would learn of the foundation of the Imperial Consulate of Othmyrr, something which he had been staunchly opposed to during his term. By his 29th birthday, Wissam had been living in the Estate for nearly a year, hardly ever leaving as he did not want to see his nation turned into a dictatorship. Unfortunately for Wissam, his isolation would come to an end on January 8th, when Othmyrr was attacked by the Zamotz Union and the USSE, with a mounting Eldham Entente coalition growing rapidly. Shortly after, Othmyrr would fall with the abdication of Rage o' Fire. Wissam saw this as his call to duty, with the 3rd Republic of Oceanum clawing itself out of near destruction.
=== Return to Oceanum ===
After spending a great deal of time at his estate with his family, Wissam would once again heed the call to action after the collapse of Othmyrr. Wissam saw Oceanum, his home, in turmoil, and decided to once again run to lead the nation, this time known as the Third Republic of Oceanum. Wissam's reign would be fairly uneventful, nothing like the last terms he lead. He would finish his term then, out of shame, leave Oceanum on a boat in the night, bringing his daughter Zosia along with him. In spite of what he thought at the time, his 3rd term wasn't actually as bad as he thought it was. Wissam VI would never be seen again, presumed dead. It was somewhere on his boat journey where his grandson, Wissam Doxenite VII, would be born.
== Personality ==
Wissam is known for his stubborn nature, often being reluctant to cooperate on various issues. Wissam also tends to go into many things head first, without considering many potential consequences. In addition to this, Wissam has difficulty debating, often getting incredibly anxious before a debate. Despite these flaws, Wissam is regarded as having been a great leader, making many political achievements in his short time in politics. Wissam has the ability to hide contempt when he must, becoming one of his most valuable traits. In addition to this, Wissam has a decent pool of knowledge to draw from, aiding in his ability to write effective legislature and make political maneuvers. Above all, however, Wissam only wishes for the success of his House and the Oceanumite people.__FORCETOC__
