Karma

Karma is the Grand Marshal of Rohel, currently living in the nations capital; Rosport. 
== Early Life ==
Not much is known about Karma's early life. He was born in May 7th and going by appearance he seems to be 22 years old. His birthplace and parents are unknown due to his lack of memory. 
=== Waking up in Sparwood ===
Saturday October 2nd 2021, Karma woke up somewhere in the continent of Sparwood. He had no idea where he was, and no memories besides his name.
== Life in Kartek ==
As Karma awoke, dazed and confused, he was instantly approached by Wrog, the then lord of Portusburg, and offered a place in the town. Karma accepted the offer and joined Portusburg, later becoming a citizen of The Kartek Diarchy. It was a time of incredible growth for the town, but with that growth came many issues. Karma, like many of the town, found himself often ignored, without a home the entire time.
=== The Portusburg-Kartek Conflict ===
==== The Throne Room Incident ====
On October 6th, after days of civil unrest, Wrog stepped down as lord. The timing was a huge issue as the council had been out of town at the timeOffline, creating a massive power vacuum. Foczo, along with members of Buktenbyen, temporarily took power to keep peace until Sinnon returned. Unfortunately due to misinformation being spread and fears lingering from the previous Portusburg-Buktenbyen incident, It was believed the town was under attack.
Karma had walked into town that day and experienced the chaos left and worked along side the council to quell the fears and ensure a peaceful transition of power. He was later shocked to find out that not only had the previous lord rescinded his decision to step down, but now he had declared independence from Kartek, against the wishes of the new, true lore, and it's people.
==== Portusburg-Kartek conflict and the Portusburg Civil war ====
A day after the new lord had been officiated, Karma joined the town guard and the greater Kartek military with the intent to free his home from the previous regime that threatened to tear it away from the nation he pledged himself to. 
The next day, a full 24hours after war was declared, Karma grouped up with the rest of the Kartek military and stormed the town as the battle began.
Despite the overwhelming numbers, the battle was still chaos. Portusburg, Karma's home, had been trashed and cannibalized before the start of the war by Wrog loyalists, erecting large walls around streets and lines of barbed wire. After what felt like an hour, the first battle was won. Karma joined the others back in Butenbyen but eventually left the party to spend some time alone.
==== Promotion ====
On October 9th 2021, Karma was officially made Captain of the town guard after winning the majority vote. In that time Karma helped plan and strategize aspects of the war effort affected by the town guard. It was difficult to organize without a land to call home, a refugee in the neighbouring town of Buktenbyen, but soon enough He was ready for the coming battle.
===== Roseport =====
When the leader of the true Portusburg decided to rename the city to "Roseport" Karma was initially skeptical, Portusburg was his home and they were fighting to reclaim it, so why change the name? But after the continuous actions of Wrog and his loyalists, the name Portusburg left a sour taste in his mouth. It was a name Karma was more than happy to leave behind and quickly decided to support the name change.
===== The Second Battle of Portusburg =====
On the night of October 17 2021, the second battle of Portusburg begun. At this point Wrog was alone, his loyalists nowhere to be found and his supposed mercenaries were a lie. Karma spent his time patrolling back and forth between Portusburg and Buktenbyen until Wrog finally surrendered. The transfer of power from Wrog to Sinnon would take place not long after. 
As the dust settled, Karma had a chance encounter with the defeated Rebel. The two stared at each other, And axe in Wrog's hand, and a bow in Karma's. It was eventually Wrog who spoke up first."The stare in his eyes" - Wrog"So now what?" - Karma"Have Portusburg" - WrogIt would later be discovered that Wrog had destroyed his claim over Portusburg, leaving Karma to help the town pick up the pieces.
== The Dissolution of Kartek ==
=== Collapse ===
After the war was won, the Kartek Horde officially dissolved. There was a brief moment of chaos until a number of provinces were made. Karma, at this point, had grown sick of the way certain leadership acted in the nation and was furious when he found out the government later dissolved, finding the act petter.
When the Frosterium entered the Fray, offering peaceful annexation; the leader of Gertek, the new province owned of Foczo, accepted. Sinnon agreed to join the province, the town of Roseport was now under Frosterium rule. It was a nice change of pace. During the batter, as the old Kartek government left, the organization was far smoother than what he had been used to prior.
However, since the acceptance into Frosterium, Karma has had to deal with people constantly spreading doom talk and acting as though the previous nation was perfect despite saying the exact opposite days before. It was annoying to deal with. The nation had thrown the people a lifeline and could have easily ended every town, yet history of rivalry which Karma himself was not privy to had cause people to try and stir up unrest.
=== Life in The Frosterium ===
It had only been a couple of days, but living under the rule of the Frosterium had already proven difficult. Leadership was slow, and to make matters worse, high ranking members of the nation would frequently enter the provinces of old Kartek and massacre civilians. Things escaleted when the Kartek Liberation Army began bombing roads. Instead of trying to destroy any act of terrorism, The Frosterium instead took it out of the members of the Kartek provinces who had already denounced the terrorists, attacking easy targets who weren't going against them instead. All of these events in a matter of days lead Karma's oppinion of Frosterium to sour. What he once saw as an opportunity for a stable government compared to old Kartek, he now saw as a threat.
== The Dissolution of The Frosterium ==
=== Collapse ===
"Are you [REDACTED] kidding me?!" - Karma, shortly after hearing the news.In just a few days after being annexed, The frosterium began making arrangements to dissolve, finally making a public announcement on Friday 22nd October, 2021.
Once again Karma was in a position where his home was in crisis. At this point it had gotten to him, the constant discussions, debates, and need to keep peace was draining the guy who had only just woken up with no memories merely weeks ago. Over that time there had been a lot of threats from Members of old Frosterium claiming they would invade the provinces of old Kartek for the fun of it before the eventual colapse. Though no attack came before Frosterium officially fell.
== Formation of Rohel ==
=== The Kartek Federation ===
After the collapse of the Frosterium, a brief time of chaos was begining to unravel, forcing Karma to form a fully fledge town guard with the remains of the Roseport population after still clearing up the rubble of battle. In the midsts of those unpredictable times, a new Kartek government was begining to form. A federation of smallers nations. Organisation was lacking, and worse it was being lead by terrorists responsible for destroying infrastructure often used by the people of Roseport and brought frosterium troops to the towns, who killed indiscriminately in their pursuit of those terrorists. Karma was not happy about terrorists leading a country, and the introduction of and Eldham nation into lands that were promised to Roseport pushed the Guard captain over the edge.
Together with King Sinnon Thornrose, they worked to solidify a nation independent to the Kertek Federation know as Rohel. 
=== Rohel ===
Karma soon found like minded individuals in the form of the True Liberation Alliance (TLA) formed primarily from Arxella, Fjelheim, Rohel, and Thalassii. Together they formed the AntiKartek coalition and declared war. Karma was given the rank of Marshal and given the task of forming an official Rohelian Military.
When time came for war, Karma was surprised to learn that the individual states loyal to kartek had began to surrender one by one. Though he'd soon learn it was a ruse.
== Kartek Terror War ==
=== The Troubles ===
On the 1st of November, members of the Kartek terror group, formed after its surrender to the TLA began to target a fledgling city in Rohel, Moonburg. Three terrorist insurgents entered the small hamlet and began attacking its people. The Rohelian military, which was still mostly formed of town guards at the time, quickly came to Monnburgs assitance and managed to hold off the attack even if they were incapacitated multiple times. Karma and his troops did not give in to the terrorists until the insurgents had given up.
Later the terrorists made a national announcement, putting themselves, and Rohel, in the spotlight. They claimed to have only attacked armoured soldiers in the small town, but everyone knew that was a lie.
Karma continued to assist while improving the military under his command, eventually writting the Rohelian Military Handbook still used today by its troops. All while Troops from Thalassii aided in patroling Rohelien lands.
=== Coronation ===
Soon the period of fighting and streneous politics would become too much for King Sinnon. Eventually the old king stepped down and made way for his son, Prince Vashonn, to take over. The coronation was held at the Roseport Castle, making it much easier for Karma and his troops to defend while the ceremony took place. His guards patrolled the walls of the castle while troops from Thalassii offered to guard the room itself as they were already present as guests. The event was peaceful and drinks were handed out for celebrations, but Karma continued to patrol the walls until the very end of the ceremony.
=== Cold war ===
After a long period of fighting the Kartek Terrorist state, A ceasefire was made following the Sparwood Summit. Within this period Karma had successfully built up a military for Rohel with himself as Grand Marshal. He spent the period preparing himself and his troops for the eventual battle, working closely with the kingdoms of Thalassii and Chance to plan several simultanious battles.
But it was not to be. Shortly before the war had even begun, Chance had surrendered to the Kartek terror state. Even worse, and to complete surprise to Karma, King Vashonn also surrendered, allowing Rohel to be integrated into Kartek. 
=== The Rohel Free Army ===
Upon hearing word of Rohel's surrender, Karma pulled his military out and turned it into the Rohel Free Army. He and the Soldiers fled their own kingdom and joined Tzar Nicholas Augustus in his fortress of Greystone Castle in Arxella. The last bastion of freedom from the newly formed Kartek Caliphate would soon be host of the largest siege Karma has ever seen until then.
== Independence movement ==
From the very moment Rohel was strongarmed into joining Kartek, Karma worked against the oppressors. The nekojin wriggled his way into their ranks and fed what information he could to his allies while causing disruption within the Kartek military. Finally, an opportunity arised.
Despite Kartek's claims of focusing inwards, the nation declared war on the empire of Escharia, the very act caused chaos within the nation, a large majority of people, even those in Kartek's upper echelons, began to argue against their own leaders. Karma took the opportunity to add onto this chaos by convincing Rohel's council to declare independence from Kartek. It worked.
The sudden and seemingly random decision to become independent threw off Kartek's plans and, despite organizing a large rage in response, the oppressive nation was soon forced to officially accept Rohel as independent.
