Arcadian Empire

The **Arcadian Empire** (often referred to simply as 'The Empire') is a multi-ethnic entity comprised of the two major states Orastus and Tarys. The Arcadian Empire was formed in the year 312 2A, in which the King of Orastus, Euric Terathan, was given the Imperial Crown and the title of Emperor. After his coronation, he took the name of the first disciple of Kasdeyor, and restyled himself as Emperor Artanis.

## Name

The Arcadian Empire takes the name of Arcadia for its associated claim to the land. The Arcadian/Kasdian peoples who fled to Orastus following the fall of Kasdeyor in 132 2A gained positions of power within the kingdom, and their ambitions come to fruition with the formation of the Empire. The Empire believes the territory of Arcadia to be rightfully theirs based upon de jure claim.

### Rise of House Lanrec; The Empire

In 309 2A, Niccolo Lanrec, a wealthy silk merchant, took the Tarysian throne after the death of his mother's brother, King Brascio Arenze. At the time of his crowning, the Kingdom of Tarys was under substantial economic stress after a conflict with the Republic of Asdanria. Multiple attempts were made upon Niccolo's life by assassins who were hired by other families who sought to take the crown from him, but Niccolo was able to survive the encounters. In 312 2A, he met with King Euric Terathan of Orastus to discuss the merging of their kingdoms into a mighty empire. Though Niccolo was skeptical, Euric offered a deal that in exchange for his leadership of the empire, the Tarysians would be given economic benefits to aid in rekindling their trade and wealth, and that Niccolo would retain his throne and continue to govern his kingdom. That year, the Arcadian Empire was formed, and soon after the Tarysian economy flourished once again and continued to do so as it awaited the day that the Orastans would call for their support of arms.

Kingdom of Arathen

The **Kingdom of Arathen** is a Halryian kingdom of Aerothos within the Union. Arathen is known primarily for its military might and leadership amongst the Union kingdoms.

## History

### Origin

The Kingdom of Arathen was founded in 132 2A by the Valtian war-hero Anarian Constian. In 133, construction of Arathen City began, and shortly after the neighboring Kingdom of Armacia declared war upon Arathen. Anarian Constian was able to bring about a quick end to the war, capturing the Armacian capital of Candros and forcing a treaty to be signed. The Armacians joined the Kingdom of Arathen, giving the kingdom nearly the entirety of its modern borders, in exchange for its lords maintaining their nobility and for fair treatment within the newly found kingdom.

### Reign of House Constian

For nearly one hundred years, House Constian ruled the Kingdom of Arathen. The first three generations of Constian kings focused primarily upon strengthening the infrastructure of the kingdom, bringing in vast amounts of gold, increasing field production, maintaining roads, and mining the rich ores that lie in the Armacian Mountains. It was not long before the cities boomed with growth and the Constians became one of the most powerful families of Aerothos.

### Fall of the Constians; The Arathenian Civil War

In the year 222 2A the Kingdom of Arathen went to war against the Kingdom of Halsvyg, the southernmost Rovaski nation. For two years they warred in a conflict known as The White Storm, ultimately ending in the destruction of Halsvyg and the lands south of the Cobalt Mountains, from the Constian River to Blackwall Keep, becoming Arathenian territory known as the East-Lands. King Brutus Constian kept much of this land directly under his control and raised the inheritance tax to aid in paying for new endeavors in the East-Lands, which was met with vehement opposition. The Arathenian nobles and senators saw this as a tyrannical abuse of power, and in a bloody affair, Brutus Constian was stabbed to death in the Senate House and the rest of his family was murdered, but for his heir, Aurelian, who escaped to Theos. In 236, Aurelian had gathered what loyal soldiers and Valtian allies he could and met the traitors in the Battle of the Arathen Plains. Aurelian was victorious and had each of the nobles and senators executed, but he had suffered a grievous wound during the battle and died shortly after. On his deathbed before passing, Aurelian, having no heir of his own, passed the crown to his loyal friend, Marcus Hadrius. Under King Marcus Hadrius, the Kingdom of Arathen was reunited.

### Reign of House Hadrius

After the war, Marcus granted control of the East-Lands to Gerhard and Soren Brandt, stating that Arathen had exceeded its own power and could not keep the lands. Gerhard and Soren would go on to create the Kingdom of Sorndir. House Hadrius would endure under the modern era, taking part in multiple wars and helping in to usher an age of peace that would last fifty years. In most recent history, the Kingdom of Arathen spearheaded the Union efforts in the Third Galerian War and achieved victory for the Union.

Blacktower is named for its appearance, having been built entirely with black stone from the Orastan Peninsula. The Blacktower itself was once singular, but in recent years has had two smaller towers connected to it, though the central tower is notably taller. A single curtain wall surrounds the tower environs, and a small village is located outside to support Blacktower.

It was originally constructed to keep watch over the Durik Mountains and the surrounding lands, most notably from Rovaski raiders and as a first defense against conflict with the Hrusko.

## Ownership; Knight of Blacktower

Knight of Blacktower is a title given to the ruler of the fief and has always been a member of House Blacktower, a family which began as the sworn defenders of Blacktower. The Knight of Blacktower is charged with supplying knights loyal to the throne of Orastus and defending the land surrounding the Durik Mountains. The title of Lord has never been given to this position, for it does not command the power akin to a lordship due to its minimal land and population management. But nevertheless the title was created and given out of respect for the Blacktower family, who proved themselves to be loyal subjects of Orastus and performed their duty well throughout the centuries.
Owen Braddock

**Owen Braddock** is a knight in the service of Arn Marcher and part of the Rhodrien Royal Guard, as well as a mentor and father-like figure for Arn's sons, especially Caim.

Owen was protective of his younger sister, Evelyn, whom every man in the village had eyes for. One night, Evelyn came home, bruised and bloodied after having been raped by a knight known as Anselm. Owen went to the nearby hadren to find the man praying and killed him. King Tristran deemed Anselm a false knight and rewarded Owen for his act of justice, allowing him to squire for the revered knight, Sir Berold Goodwater. When Evelyn died in childbirth, Owen took up permanent residence in Caernanden, where he befriended Prince Arn Marcher and the two formed a brotherly bond. Owen fought alongside Arn during the Third Galerian War.

The Union

**The Union** is an alliance of kingdoms on the continent of Aerothos, most of which descended from the Halryians. The alliance was formed by Androcles Valtarian in 132 2A after the defeat of Kasdeyor. Every king of the Union has a seat upon the Union Council, and if unable to meet at the annual gathering, may send a lord of reputable status to represent them and their interests. The Union sees itself as the peace-maker of the land by means that its military strength would deter others from waging war against them. At the time of The Fallen Banner, the Union consists of five kingdoms: the Kingdom of Arathen, the Kingdom of Valtia, the Kingdom of Ulranar, the Kingdom of Sorndir, and the Kingdom of Rhodrien.

## Kingdoms of the Union

* Valtia
* Arathen
* Ulranar
* Sorndir
* Rhodrien

## Origin

The Union was formed in 132 2A by Androcles Valtarian following the death of his father, Kleitos, in the Battle of Arcadia and the fall of Kasdeyor. After Kasdeyor's execution, Androcles claimed to have been visited by Halros and commanded to create the alliance as a means of securing the Halryian faith. Androcles gave the most recently acquired territories of southern Armacia to his friend and war-hero, Anarian Constian, who formed the Kingdom of Arathen. He then gave independence to Lancion Andor, who formed the Kingdom of Ulranar. It was agreed upon that by splitting the Kingdom of Valtia, they would enter into a permanent alliance to safeguard the lands which they had acquired for the Halryians and that their new-found alliance would jointly govern the land of Arcadia.

After the Arathenian Civil War, the Kingdom of Sorndir was created and brought into the Union. Less than a century later, after the Second Rovaskian War, the Kingdom of Rhodrien joined the Union, notably as the first kingdom to lack descent from the Halryians.
Kali

Kali is one of the few sane characters of the Chibi's Corner series. Kali plays the both the straight man and the realist to everyone else in the series, having become desensitized to the usually devastating randomness in the world. Like Riri and Rey, she is unfazed by all the awful things that happen. However, she neutralizes the bad with logic at best and indifference at worst, rather than optimism. She has not gone off into the deep end of apathy like Sanara, however, as she still seems to have feelings in general, feeling happy, sad, angry, irritated and everything in between when appropriate. Despite her younger age, she feels like she's seen everything there is to see in the world, and therefore feels like she has it all figured out. This gives her a sort of inflated sense of self-importance, as she feels like she's passing down pearls of wisdom to those younger than her, telling it like it is. When she gets into debates with Riri about how one should view life and the world they live in, Kali usually closes the conversation by telling Riri that she has so much yet to learn.

Kali is typically gender neutral skewed feminine, which makes her very digestible to someone like Rey, who is otherwise wary of females. Despite her low key know-it-all-ism, she still has fun and plays with her younger friends, even if she does think some of their games are a bit too juvenile. However, everyone else seems to lack any good sense, so she'll take what she can get with no complaints. Kali seems to show legitimate irritation and frustration with Mona, however, as Mona won't stop stalking and harassing her. Nothing would make her happier than to be rid of Mona forever, and when she gets herself into sticky or otherwise painful situations, Kali doesn't even make an attempt to show her any compassion.

Team Pika

Team Pika consists of a group of mostly orphaned Pokemon who travel together, exploring the world around them and helping others in need. Their reasons for doing so was both to make the most of the bad situations that they found themselves in, to prevent others from being stranded if possible, and to offer aid for those who are in a situation to themselves. In doing this, however, Team Pika hopes to get at least a little notoriety out of it. Their aim is to be remembered around Poké Island for the good that they have done just like the famous Pikachu before them that saved Poké Island prior. Team Pika is part of the Poke Island series, but only appears in Poke Tales and Poke Legends.

Six Pokemon make up the members of Team Pika: Pikachu, Meowth, Squirtle, Clefairy, Bulbasaur and Charmander. All of them were orphaned in one way or another, although in Clefairy's case, she was orphaned by force, and would gain a chance to reunite with her tribe. Almost every member of Team Pika has a role. Pikachu is the leader, and he delegates tasks and handles battle strategies. Meowth handles all of the money as both a banker and by doing the accounting, and can even create some additional funds when cash is short (this takes a lot of energy to do, however). Squirtle handles and keeps stock of inventory, and he also works well as an additional liaison if Pikachu is out of the picture (or can't seem to get through). Clefairy is the brains of the group, serving as both a technician and archeologist for Team Pika. She is very well read, and studies plenty of maps and source materials. Bulbasaur acts as a sort of tank and utility belt for Team Pika, with a vast variety of offensive Physical and Special attacks, as well as defensive and protective moves to cover the rest of the team, it makes him the perfect bodyguard. He is also skilled at climbing and reaching higher locations. Charmander is more or less the tag-along kid, but he works well for Team Pika's image for being the first success story for the team. Additionally, the team appreciates his always useful ability to create fire, as well as his clairvoyant-like premonitions that are very much on point. If Charmander has a really bad feeling about something or someone, Team Pika listens.

Together, they have traveled all around Poké Island and Neo Island, but had set up temporary residence in the Poké Forest, seeing as the local Pokemon were so welcome and inviting, and the start up cost of living was free (after all, an abandoned house costs nothing but time and sweat to fix up, and that comes a lot easily compared to cash for the young heroes).

## Individual Pages for Members of Team Pika

* Pikachu
* Meowth
* Squirtle
* Clefairy
* Bulbasaur
* Charmander

## Trivia

The reason why Team Pika consists of Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Pikachu, Clefairy and Meowth is because the Pokemon are based on options for starter Pokemon you can get in the 1999 board game, Pokemon Master Trainer. Yes, once again, the Poké Island series IS that old.

The West Sea is largely unexplored, but for an island known as Tanbria, which is only regularly visited by the Rovaskians. The Halryian Sea is named for the island of Halryia, which once resided in the middle of the sea, but mysteriously vanished beneath the water after the event known as the Exiling of Halyria at the end of the Halryian First Age.

Aerothos is heavily populated, though most notably, the Kingdom of Ulranar has the lowest population in relation to its size compared to any other state within the continent. The most populated cities of Aerothos are: Arathen City, Asdanria, Theos, Elerius, Sorenhal, Tarys, Arcadia, and Orastus.
Bronto Burt

This page is about the *leading* Bronto Burt character as he appears in Alternate Universe and Kirby's Adventures, as opposed to the species. Bronto Burt's purpose has been made perfectly clear in every appearance he's made, and that's to be an antagonistic neighborhood bully. There's not much good in Bronto Burt, in that he doesn't even want to be good. All he wants to do is exert power over others by picking on or beating up those weaker than him. He *also* wants everyone's allowances. But the one thing he wants most of all is to put Kirby in his place and really humiliate him. Bronto Burt despises Kirby out of envy of him being the town, country, planet and universal hero time and again, and being lauded with accolades and praise. Bronto Burt doesn't like the idea that anyone can be better than him, so if he can take Kirby down a peg and cut him down to size, that would effectively make Bronto Burt the new alpha dog. What he doesn't realize is that it's not as simple as all that, in that there's no way Bronto Burt would be able to take on King Dedede by himself let alone all the other cosmic horrors that befall the planet, but that's a bridge for him to cross later. For now, Kirby has got to go!

Bronto Burt also picks on many other kids in Dream Land, and regularly gets into fights with Coo who isn't afraid to throw hands, himself. He'll even fight his own co-workers, such as Waddle Dee. Bronto Burt doesn't really serve any master, despite working for King Dedede. Like 99% of the rest of Dedede's minions, Bronto Burt just does it for the money, but he can also recognize the self appointed king's strength, and figures that's the side he wants to be on. Since bullies think alike, Bronto Burt would love to live in Dedede's idealized world, and will help him try to achieve that goal. Who knows, though, if Bronto Burt wouldn't try to backstab and overthrow King Dedede once that happens. Afterall, there is only room for one great king, and Bronto Burt would love that title more than anything.

## Trivia

The long-standing role of bully assigned to Bronto Burt is based on the description of Bronto Burt from Kirby's Avalanche. It has never changed, but then again, it's the very same character from Kirby's Adventures, a very very very old series.

Anrir Dakrov

**Anrir Dakrov** is the Commander of the Imperial Guard and a member of the Hand of the Emperor. He is known throughout the Empire as an incredibly talented swordsman and personally accompanies Emperor Uriad Terathan.

He is the great grandson of Vladimir Dakrov, one of the founding members of the Knights of the Wolf.

## Appearance and Character

Anrir has pale skin and dark, shifting eyes. He is confident and perceived by many as cocky.
Ulrich Brandt

**Ulrich Brandt** is the eldest son of Conrad Brandt and Queen Emilia and is the heir to the Kingdom of Sorndir. Ulrich is one of the POV characters in The Chronicles of Aerothos and is twenty-eight years old at the start of The Fallen Banner.

## Background

Ulrich was a gifted and talented boy and quickly gained respect throughout the kingdom for leading part of his father's army in the Third Galerian War. Throughout his youth he was raised alongside Sir Derek Marden, the son of his father's closest friend, Lord Casper Marden. After the death of his younger sister, Cecilia, his father became focused upon him and his ability to produce an heir. Ulrich was divorced from his wife, Verynna Renner, after he discovered her committing adultery and did not have any children with her. Ever since, he has not cared to remarry.
Ness

This page is about Ness as he appears in Alternate Universe. For the official version of Ness, you're on the wrong site, palzie!

## Overview (full version coming eventually)

Just to get a few notes out, whenever the chips are down on Popstar, you can count on Ness and the rest of the chosen four to save the day. Being one of the strongest kids on Earth, Ness utilizes his full psychic potential (backed by the power of the Earth itself) to put evil in its place but good. Other than that, he's still just a boy, prone to making stupid decisions and jumping into situations head first. At least he has excellent defensive and evasive capabilities to help him out of the scrapes he gets himself into.

As it turns out, the language humans speak is a less advanced version of the universal language Popstarians speak, which is how they understand each other (and also how everyone on Popstar understands everything Pokemon say). Ness and his friends attended a bit of this advanced "alien" schooling, and now have some ability to directly communicate with Pokemon in the same language as well, unlike other humans.

For a film project, Ness decided to try to capture life on Popstar, as there would certainly be no one else back in Onett who has done the same, guaranteeing him high marks. He has also gained an admirer in Charlotte, who's primarily attracted to the energy he gives off (but perhaps, just a little, attracted to the person as well). Ness, on the other hand, is pretty disgusted by this, especially since he's already an item with Paula.
Arcadia

**Arcadia** is a region and de facto city-state located near central Aerothos. It is self-governing, but is overseen by the Union to prevent uprising and secure religious moral authority in Aerothos, most notably against the Kasdian faith.

## History

### Arcadia under Valtian Rule

Arcadia was home to native tribes from the surrounding mountains that fought endlessly for control over the valley. In 57 2A, the Valtian general Antion Cassus defeated the united tribes and secured Valtian ownership of Arcadia. He built the city of Arcadia in the middle of the valley, and in an attempt to subjugate the natives peacefully, offered them citizenship and homes. A vast majority of the native Arcadians took his offer, while those who did not fled back to the mountains and became brigands.

Antion Cassus enjoyed a peaceful governance over Arcadia and was succeeded by his son, Rionis, in the year 68 2A, who was loved by the people as a fair and just lord. Rionis died at an early age from illness and was succeeded by a Valtian politician, Validius Optio. Validius was a harsh ruler, and was succeeded by his son, Julius, who was despised by the populace for his heavy tax rates and abuses of power.

When Kasdeyor came to Arcadia during his banishment from the Kingdom of Valtia, he began preaching and inciting the people to overthrow Julius Optio. The tyrant fled the city out of fear to his personal keep, where he was hunted down and murdered by Arcadians.

### Arcadia under Kasdeyor

In 130 2A, after the overthrow of Julius Optio, the Arcadian people announced their independence and made Kasdeyor their king. Seen as an act of rebellion, the Kingdom of Valtia marched on Arcadia and warred for two years. At the Battle of Arcadia in 132 2A, King Kleitos Valtarian led the Valtian army to victory, though died in the process. His son, Androcles, succeeded him immediately, and executed Kasdeyor. A large amount of Kasdeyor's disciples had fled Arcadia and traveled eastward, most of whom found refuge in the Kingdom of Orastus. After Kasdeyor's execution, Androcles offered independence to Lancion Andor and Anarian Constian, who formed the kingdoms of Ulranar and Arathen, respectively. Together, they created the Union, and established control over Arcadia.

### Arcadia under the Union

Since the fall of Kasdeyor, the Union has watched over Arcadia. The city and region are self-governing, but are under constant military surveillance from Union soldiers, who are quick to suppress any uprisings or hint of treason. The Union controls Arcadia in matters of foreign and domestic policy.
Pichu

Pichu is a bit of a tragic character in Chibi's Corner. He is perpetually depressed because, like Yami, he can't ever seem to become close with anyone due to involuntary biological functions. Like the Earth Pokemon Pichu, this Chibimon is prone to discharging electricity when excited. However, because the worst should always be expected to happen on BaBeat, Pichu usually ends up frying everyone to death in his excitement. Pichu's body count is ridiculously high for someone who's only lived for a short amount of time, and it takes a huge toll on his conscience, making him feel guilty, sad, and depressed all the time. He carries the weight of murdering so many other Chibimon on his shoulders, and feels like he can't ever be absolved from this particular sin of his. To avoid killing others, he tries to keep his distance from everyone, but this just makes him very lonely and even more depressed. He longs for companionship, but it always feels forever out of reach.

Pichu is prone to emotional outbursts and fits of crying, unleashing a powerful stream of electricity. He is considered very dangerous to be around.

Nevertheless, at the best of times, he is still considered the friend of Riri, Rey, Kali and Yami, and tries his best to treasure their friendship, even if he feels undeserving of it. Their kind gestures make him emotional, which causes him to shock them just like he does everyone else. However, his friends usually only end up knocked out at the worst.
Sanara

Another major cast member of Chibi's Corner, Sanara is everything you would expect a Gardevoir to be. On opposite day. Also, every day is opposite day, forever. Sanara is what you would get if you took Kali to her logical extreme, and if Kali completely shut off her emotions. Sanara is pure apathy, not caring one way or another about anything. She has no prospects, and does not care. She has no real friends, and does not care. The world around her and everyone in it is going to pieces, and she does not care. No moment in her life makes her either happy or sad, no action fills her with anger or joy.

This makes her very frustrating to be around for some, and comforting for others. The ones who are frustrated, such as Riri, always feel like they are talking to a brick wall, and if she ever gets invited to anything, say a place to eat, she never decides on what she wants because she doesn't care what she gets, and unless the food establishment makes a decision for her, someone else in the group will have to take over. On the other side, characters like Pichu and Patcheel feel like they won't be judged around her because she truly doesn't pass judgment on anyone.

Mona isn't absolutely robotic, as she seems to have a preference for days of gentle rain, and going out in the cool breeze of a rainy day. When she feels like she's had enough of something, she'll show herself out rather than remain until someone forces her out. She also seems to like Riri, even if by a microscopic percentage, as she usually will not leave her side, and will let Riri decide when to go their separate ways.

## Trivia

Sanara's name is based on Gardevoir's Japanese name, Sirnight, and how it's pronounced more like Saa-naito.
Togepi (Alternate Universe)

## Togepi

Togepi is in the foster care of Kirby and is a very minor character in the Alternate Universe series. Kirby bought into the hype of Togepi being some sort of magical deus ex machina from watching the Pokemon anime too much, and decided he wanted one of his own. How he acquired one is unknown as Togepi was suddenly introduced in the second season of Alternate Universe without much explanation.

As it turns out, the reality of the situation was far far more disappointing than the cartoons led him to believe, as Togepi isn't at all useful, and its Metronome is nearly useless, going so far as backfiring on Togepi every time. Being a baby, Togepi can't carry on conversation or provide much mental stimulation, and ends up being sort of a dull chore for the time being. Everyone tells Kirby to just admit to buying the ruse (no shame in that), call it a loss and that perhaps put Togepi up for adoption, but Kirby stubbornly believes that it'll pay off in the future, and one day Kirby will have his own "Charlotte". They'll see. They'll *all* see!
Gastly

Gastly is one of the five Pokemon in Death Reaper JOE's team, and comes from the Alternate Universe series. He is a relatively minor character, who only shows up when the situation of the comic calls for it. Although he has an immunity to physical attacks, he is the weakest of JOE's team in terms of power. Instead, he is used as a support by affecting the status of his opponents, such as poisoning them or putting them to sleep, and also by creating a haze to make it hard for his opponents to see.

He doesn't take to losing very well, and he doesn't like to follow orders much, either. Overall he shows no enthusiasm towards Pokemon Battles and instead would rather goof off, loaf around or hang out with his brother, Haunter. For this reason, he's not very dependable to JOE, and because of his frequent bouts of underworld mischief (in between being lazy), he even may be more trouble than he's worth.
Conrad Brandt

**Conrad Brandt** is the King of Sorndir. He is the husband of Emilia and father of Ulrich and Cecilia. Conrad is indecisive about the role of his kingdom in the war to come, which prompts Ulrich to undergo his journey. He is a character of importance in The Chronicles of Aerothos.

## Appearance and Character

Conrad has long, wavy blonde hair. He has a closely-trimmed beard and the ends of his mustache curl upwards. Conrad has dreary green eyes and has crow's feet about them.

Conrad is judgmental and unforgiving. He believes that his only duty is to his kingdom and cares little for his allies. Conrad's leadership is questioned by some within the kingdom.

## Background

Conrad took the throne after his father, King Kenneth. In the Third Galerian War he lead the campaign against the Ronari Galerians alongside of King Arn Marcher of Rhodrien and defeated the Ronari army at the Battle of Bricar.

## Quotes by Conrad

*“I am the king of **Sorndir**, and that is all.”* - Conrad to Ulrich
