## Early Life

### Childhood

Devin was born our of wedlock, he was a bastard son of WR military officer. His mother was a homeless commoner. He was born in the Eastern WR, district 4. Once he was born his father left. His mother couldnt support the child and as such by the time he was 8 she handed him off to a family friend. His name was David Honanis. David primarily raised Devin in his youth. When Devin was 17 he left David's apparntment to 'find himself'. He ended up hearing the words of Scarlett Evergreen and other anti-Wynter activists and joined the cause.

#### Exile to the Islands

The WR secruity forces caught wind the treasonous activities and began to expose the perpetrators of the rebbellion sending them to the western islands. Devin was one of these banished individuals. Once he reached the prision colony he met up with his long lost father, who was now a WR General. His father wanted nothing to do with Devin. When the rebbellion started Devin killed his father and stole the military theory in his library. This is when he was introduced to the theory of Napoleon, Rommel, Caesar, Sun Tsu, Zhukov, Eisenhower and Schwarzkopf.

### Education

Devin's only formal education came when he was 9 years and David managed to scrape together money to get him into a Primary School. Unfortantly he could only afford to send him for a year. Devin however was a curious person and learned out on the street about the world.

## Career

Devin Lnni was born in the WR mainland however he was a supporter of the Evergreens and their reformist ideals. When this came out he was banished to the islands. There he got ahold of military strategy and tactical books and became a fervent supporter of the Revolution.

Devin Lnni's career started when he joined the Banished Republics military or, rather militia. He became a Lieutenant and fought in several Battles including one of the largest battles of the war, the Battle of Magister Region Capital 22 (Aldorria).

After the Republic won its independence he was placed in command of the Air Force and Army and successfully stopped a WR invasion attempt. After the failed enemy invasion Blue resigned and was replaced by Allegate, who lead a lackluster campaign of appeasing the WR which lead to multiple enemy artificial island bases being set up in Scarlettian territory, Devin was assigned Supreme Commander after Allegate.

He organized rankings throughout the branches and set up regional command zones and finally formalized the branches and how they operate. He then, with L., lead a successful Island hopping campaign where they, significantly harmed the W.R. navy, strengthened the Scarlettian Navy, and captured/destroyed the Island bases.

He then saw the war expand globally. He lead an invasion of Ishimia after they nuked the Colinsian Capital. He won the Space War by destroying the Hongten and WR space force. He supported Wuhei rebels that eventually would make Wuhei switch sides. After this, he was forced to resign due to political pressures.

He was replaced by Taidan who lead an extremely poor campaign against the enemy. Under Supreme Commander Taidan the Coalition (the enemy alliance) managed to regain strength and launch several consecutive offensives, including one on Scarlettian Home Soil. Taidan nearly walked the entire Scarlettian navy into a massive trap, if L. hadn't stopped him last minute, which lead to his replacement with Supreme Commander Dave.

Supreme Commander Dave was actually a puppet for Devin. Under Dave, the Coalition was majorly pushed back and the Hongten navy, as well as the WR navy, was in large part destroyed. Dave however was replaced with debatably the best commander Scarlettia ever had, Green Tea.

Green Tea finished what Devin and Dave had started and ended the war. Under President L., Devin was reinstated as the Chief General of the Army and led the Invasion of the WR and the end of the war. Devin personally took the Capital, sat in Wynter's Chair, and oversaw the raising of the Imperial Flag over the Governmental building.

With the disappearance of Green Tea, Devin was once again Promoted to Supreme Commander. Once he was promoted he began a massive millitary modernization plan to prepare for future war with both allies and enemies, most importantly, Rossinia, Hongten and Colinsia.

In 2410 Devin once again left after disagreements with the government. It is unknown if he will ever return.

## Combat

### The Great War

#### Mainland Defensive Campaign

After the Republic won its independence the Military was rapidly being reorganized by the First Supreme Commander, Blue. He assigned a military high command to help find weapons producers, audit current forces, and organize a branch system. However, this came at a horrific time as the WR invaded the Mainland and Aldoria with 20 divisions smashing all opposition and taking large swaths of territory.

Devin organized a combined front to contain the WR forces and for this Blue declared him "Commander of the Army and Air Force" (it is of note there was no organized ranking or unit structure in the Army at the time). Devin, in partnership with a Naval Commander known simply as L., managed to destroy necessary supply lines and left the WR forces clogged with one main road. After routing WR forces in a series of defensive battles, the enemy retreated along this road where Devin attacked ferociously from the sky with converted Close Air Support fighters and with partisans from the countryside. The enemy army collapsed and was destroyed leaving the mainland safe from enemy hands.

#### Island Campaign

While Devin was making plans to organize the Military, President Scarlett Evergreen placed Allegate Evergreen in control of the Military as Supreme Commander. Allegate's goal was to not aggravate the WR anymore as to try to negotiate for legitimacy. So he set out to avoid conflict with the WR as much as possible.

The WR began to methodically squeeze in on the Scarlettian home islands. First, they moved a carrier strike group into Scarlettia's waters to see if there would be a response. There was no response. So then they began to construct naval bases in the form of artificial islands in Scarlettsias waters. After this, they launched an intensive propaganda campaign to try to sway the public against the government. Devin watched with horror and had enough. He and L. had a plan to destroy the WR naval presence in their waters even if it went against Allegates plans.

Devin and L. sailed the fleet and attacked from the air delivering a surprise attack to the WR forces on the southern Artificial island. Devin and L. destroyed a large part of the WR fleet and captured the Island. Suffering relatively few losses and actually capturing many enemy ships, codes, and fleet positions. For this Scarlett promoted Devin to Supreme Commander and gave him total control over the Military and future plans of the War. She gave him the order to win the war and defeat the WR.

The WR in response to the attack sent a massive strike force of mostly destroyers to attack into the Gulf. This lead to one of the largest naval battles in the war the battle of the Gulf. Due to the new Scarlettian chain of command the Air Force, Navy and Army managed to work together and attack the enemy fleet. What would've been a knock-out blow to the Scarlettian Military turned into a MASSIVE win for the Scarlettians. The WR was humiliated as the Scarlettians destroyed their air defenses and hit them from the ground with missiles and from the Sky with new Fighters (many captured FROM the WR). The WR fleet was either sunk or captured. The few remaining ships suffered so much damage many were in repair for years or scuttled. The entire WR destroyer corp of the Navy was either sunk or captured. Leaving less than 10 destroyers left for the WR navy. In response to this Victory, the War expanded globally as allies of both the WR and Scarlettia joined to defend their ally as well as to settle rivalries.

Over the course of the next few months, Devin and L. advanced through the sea capturing island after island with relatively little resistance. The WR navy had practically abandoned the islands following their defeat in the gulf. One of the islands surrendered while the other had to be captured by the marines.

In the end, the Island campaign was a crushing victory for the Scarlettians and pushed the WR out of Scarlettia waters tipping the balance of the war ever so slightly towards the Scarlettians and their allies.

#### Space War

During the Island Campaign, there was a secondary front, space. The WR and, mostly, Hongten had a large presence in Space. Having Space Stations, Missiles, and defense stations.

The Scarlettian Space Corp and Randocorp first disabled many defense stations in orbit and began to deploy their own orbital attack vessels. Some minor space battles happened and most were won by the Scarlettians. Devin was largely not a part of the planning and tactical maneuvers in the space war. Until a Hongten attack station was moving to destroy the Capital following WR naval defeats. Devin and Vorkovich Sneakovian created a last-minute plan with a 50/50 chance of failure and used a nuclear-charged beam to deactivate the station and capture it.

With the Capture of the station, space superiority was firmly in the hands of the Scarlettians.

#### Ishimian Campaign

Following the heels of the Island Campaign, the Scarlettian Army was deployed to Colinsia to combat the Ishimians. They took up defensive positions in a salient to try to aid the Colinsians in an encirclement but due to mismanagement and miscoordination, the army was encircled.

Devin saw the situation and took control of the army. He saved it by moving it through Lyonia after some tense negotiations. Despite the majority of the soldiers surviving a large amount of the equipment was lost. This is considered one of the worst losses in the Army's history. Devin planned a counter-offensive for the defeat.

He invaded the capital with Marines and Army forces with support from the sky and sea. They managed to capture the government of Ishimia as well as many military high commanders. The battle was seen as a total Scarlettian victory as the Isthmian nation just ceased to ever be an organized fighting force.

However, the victory came at a cost as Ishimian nuclear officers retaliated by launching a nuclear attack at Colonsia. This would lead to all-out Nuclear war. Which would of course lead to the destruction of Ishimia as a whole.

#### Northern Naval Campaign

After Scarlett formed the Empire Devin had quit his job. Seeing the war slipping away from the Scarlettians he came back as a puppet, Dave. Dave was promoted to Supreme Commander and immediantly began to launch offensives against the now more powerful coalition. In Devin's absence the Coalition had organized and tipped the balance of power in their favor. Dave had a plan.

He sent a fleet of warships to the North, Hongten, to cut enemy supply lines. In this he was succsessful and destroyed the Hongten fleet cutting supply lines from Atarashi to the WR destroying the possibility of them working together in the future.

This victory was the first Scarlettian Victory in 228 days and brought hope back to the alliance. However Dave's career was short lived as he resigned under the popular belief he was a foreign spy.

#### WR Campaign

After over a year of absence, Devin returned at the end of the war to finish the WR. At this point, the supreme leader, Wynter, had died and the WR was fractured into multiple factions. Two main armies grew to prominence the former military high command and democratic rebels. While the WR's allies had surrendered the Military Junta of the North *still* insisted the Scarlettians were nothing but filthy traitors and rebels. They also had the foolish notion that if they could win their civil war they could turn the war around and manage to defeat what was now the largest and most powerful none american military.

Devin landed an Infantry and Tank corp onto the WR with the assistance of L. and Black Box from the air and sea. What followed was a very fast campaign as the overwhelming advantage of the Scarlettian ground and air forces pummeled through exposed lands destroying untrained militia units and encircling the better units. After a short 12 day siege, the capital was largely cleared of resistance and Devin personally saw the raising of the Scarlettian flag over the roof of the building , he stole Wynters sword, and he even personally sat at the desk of Wynter while he informed the Mainland and frontline troops about the victory.

Following the capitulation of the enemy, Devin spent a month in the capital cleaning up and destroying Wynter-related statues and figures. He then returned home to organize and lead the victory parade. He rode on horse back with Supreme Commander Green through Scarlettsia City carrying the Sword of Wynter and followed by thousands of soldiers and marines.

## Politics

#### Libertarian Party

During the war, the country was facing massive political upheaval. Many people called for the President to take supreme power to stop the rebellion. Devin was strictly against the formation of the Empire saying quote "We can't liberate the people of the WR if we stoop to their level!" Because of the continued rise in the political interest of forming an Empire Devin organized a Political Party to oppose the rising Imperial Sentiments, The Libertarian Party.

The Libertarian Party's main goals were one, the removal of mandatory Chip laws, two, rights of privacy and property, and of course, three, the continued existence of the Republic and opposition to the Empire. The Libertarian Party would grow to be the biggest opposition to the Imperialists and Scarlett’s faction. At one point Devin organized a large protest with millions of participants to attempt to achieve their goals. The protest resulted in many goals being achieved but the council voted no on property rights.

In the end, the Libertarian movement was largely deemed a failure as the Empire was eventually formed, although not without controversy. The Libertarians did manage to push some of their beliefs into the new constitution and fight for less Monarchical power. Currently, the Party remains mostly inactive but it is rumored the Libertarians could rise back into prominence now that Devin has taken a center stage in Scarlettian politics again.
