During the race he died in one of the most gruesome accidents ever which led to a 14 year ban on motorsports in Parla.

## Racing Career

### Keriksionaskh 400 and death

J.V.K.L.C a Parlan racing driver, discovered the Asian Piston Cup since 1958. But it wasn’t until 1960 that he competed in the series entering his home race which was the Keriksionaskh 400.

He competed with a maroon livery with the number 261. The words Tre Rodáe (The Road in Parlan) we’re written on his rear view. He practiced for the race with a 16th during the free practice sesssions. Qualifying was great for him managing to take 5th place in the grid, but the race however would be another thing for him.

When the flag waved, he charged through the pack to 2nd by lap 1. He was in a battle with Indian Aakil Acharya during laps 2 to 43. In Lap 44, when Aakil had to pit for new tires, he took the lead and he kept it until the unthinkable happened.

On lap 58. He lost control at Turn 11 and flew over an imbankment and landed back on his wheels where he was still going and then crashed into the Kevinson forest.

It took over 1 hour to find him, when he was found, everybody was sick and disturbed, he was literally decapitated and worst of all, was that he was in 2.

The cause for his decapitation and being in 2 pieces is unknown to this day, but his body was taken away to be cremated. His ashes were thrown over the area where he was found dead.

Since then, the race ended and Aakil, who was behind him was declared the winner. But this accident led to a 14 year ban on motorsports in Parla because of how bad the crash were. The Asian Piston Cup lost popularity and was finally folded when the 1960 Season Ended.

The forest was renamed to Briksonickianon's Forest ever since the accident occurred.

## History

### 2016-2017

Nopi was first released on September 29, 2016. The day before the 2016 Spare Mint 400 free practice sessions began, since they didn’t get any body to see there products on the first day, they approached a next-gen race car by the name of Sky Lewis that afternoon He had left ultra vip and just got upgraded into a next-gen by using a package which upgrades cars into next-gen racing cars. Now he was looking for a sponsor and Nopi agreed to sponsor him in the Piston Cup Racing Series.

It gained attention when Lewis showed up at the track during free practice. People were curious and Nopi owner Noah Braker said that it is mainly a computer and car repair company as well.

Buisness and sales started to go up because of this, the owners received more money then they ever thought they would get,

### 2018-2019

#### Closure

Two days the 2019 Michigan 400 ended, the economy was badly going low for Nopi due to people having a lack of interest in buying there products, in reality of this, the company announced the next day that it would close down. Lucille Curber stopped racing for Ultra VIP because of complaints of poor performance, because of this Sky Lewis got his spot as the Ultra VIP racer back and he continued to race for Ultra VIP until 2021 when he left for IRacing.

Bonifer Hasty

Ser **Bonifer Hasty** is an elderly landed knight from House Hasty in the Stormlands, and the founder of a Westerosi sellsword company called the Holy Hundred. He is also known as Ser Bonifer "the Good", for his pious nature.

## Appearance and Character

Bonifer Hasty is tall and thin, with a stern, sad face. A lifetime of training has left him with numerous permanent scars, which once made him look rugged and wild as a youth. In his adulthood Ser Bonifer has become a solemn, quiet man. He is prone to salting his speech with appeals to the Seven. Despite his demeanor, Ser Bonifer still holds chivalry to great esteem and always strives to protect the weak and innocent.

## History

In his youth, Ser Bonifer Hasty was a promising tourney knight. He and Princess Rhaella Targaryen were infatuated with one another prior to the princess's official betrothal to her brother, Aerys II. Bonifer once wore the princess's favor in a tourney in which he defeated all challengers to name Rhaella his queen of love and beauty. Their love was ultimately a brief thing and could never have been otherwise, as Bonifer was of far too low birth to be considered as a suitor for a princess of the royal House Targaryen. When Rhaella was forced to marry her brother Aerys II, the knight found solace in religion, finding only the Maiden could replace Rhaella in his heart.

At one point Bonifer served as a bodyguard under Lord Owen Merryweather, a former Hand of the King to Aerys II. It was in this position that he made friendships with those in the Kingsguard at the time, namely the legendary Ser Barristan Selmy and Ser Jaime Lannister. He used this newfound position in King's Landing to get closer to queen Rhaella, but his efforts were largely wasted. He had very little contact beyond a few stolen glances.

Not many knew of Bonifer's brief relationship with the late Queen Rhaella in their youths; Jaime Lannister only knows that something had happened to him, a defeat or a disgrace or a near brush with death, and that he stopped jousting afterwards, deciding it was an empty vanity. Barristan Selmy was a longtime companion, and knew his history well.

Ser Bonifer later founded the Holy Hundred, a group of one hundred pious men-at-arms and knights, to protect the smallfolk affected by war. Namely, his sellsword company became known for protecting religious pilgrims along the Kingsroad.

After entering the service of Renly Baratheon, Stannis Baratheon, and then Jaime Lannister, Ser Bonifer and his troops were sent to garrison Harrenhal while Bonifer was appointed as temporary castellan.
Lothor Brune

**Ser Lothor Brune**, also known as Lothor Apple-Eater, is a freerider currently in the service of Lord Petyr Baelish. He is distantly related to House Brune of Brownhollow.

## Appearance and Character

Lothor is a small man with a stocky build and a square jaw. He has a squashed nose and a mat of woolly grey hair. He is not handsome, but also not ugly, and is stronger than he appears. He wears patched brown breeches and scuffed boots with a cracked, water-stained leather jerkin. He has drab armor and dented plate without device. Lothor normally wields a sword/knife and sometimes jousts in the lists. He is a skilled fighter, often using underhanded tactics to get an advantage in battle.

Lothor is seen as honest and loyal. His favorite food is apples. He has a rough voice, and is a man of few words. Despite his well-meaning demeanor, his actions and words are often misunderstood. Lothor is illiterate, but knows how to write his own name.

## History

Lothor is of low birth and is a distant, poorer cousin to House Brune. After his father's death in his youth, Lothor went to the Brunes of Brownhollow in an attempt to form a family bond, but they said he was no kin of theirs. At some point he entered into the service of Lord Petyr Baelish and was knighted.

He later performed well in the Hand's Tourney - defeating Jory Cassel, tie with Ser Aron Santagar, and finally losing to Ser Robar Royce. Lothor is also in the lists for the tourney of King Joffrey's name day. However, as his opponent, Ser Dontos Hollard, is too drunk to ride his horse, their tilt is called off.

Lothor later fights on behalf of Joffrey during the Battle of the Blackwater, cutting his way through men-at-arms to capture Ser Jon Fossoway and kill Ser Bryan and Ser Edwyd Fossoway, earning him the nickname "Lothor Apple-Eater"' as the Fossoway sigil is an apple. For his efforts in the battle, Lothor is awarded his knighthood and is to be granted land and a keep in the riverlands at the end of the War of the Five Kings.

Lothor reassumes the House Brune arms differenced by the addition of his own achievement, defeating many members of House Fossoway during the Battle of the Blackwater.
Richard Lonmouth

Ser **Richard Lonmouth** was a hedge knight from House Lonmouth, a minor knightly house from the Stormlands.

During the reign of Aerys II "the Mad King", Richard Lonmouth was a close friend and squire of Prince Rhaegar Targaryen. He would later abandon his friend to live a humble life in the Riverlands, taking on the alias of Lem, a common soldier.

## Appearance and Character

Due to years of hard physical labor, "Lem" is large and brawny with an unkempt brown beard. He has yellow rotten teeth and a harsh deep voice. It is said he has a fierce, wild look to him and his hands are always calloused. He is blunt and gruff in speech, and snores loudly.

He is known for his large, hooded yellow cloak which is patched with deerskin. It looks to have once had a design that has faded over time. He carries a longsword and a dirk on his studded leather belt. His shirt is protected with overlapping steel rings, and he wears a black iron conic helm.

## History

Richard followed Myles Mooton in squiring for Prince Rhaegar Targaryen, and each man received his knighthood from Rhaegar after completing acts of valor. Richard and Ser Myles were close friends of Rhaegar and strong supporters of the prince at court, among others.

Richard was present at the tourney at Harrenhal, where he played a drinking game with Robert Baratheon, the future king of Westeros. Halfway through the tourney, he and Robert each promised Rhaegar's father they would find and discover the true identity of the Knight of the Laughing Tree. In the end they were unsuccessful, but the task helped the two bond as liege and vassal.

During Robert's Rebellion, he was unable to pick a side. His close friend Rhaegar, who knighted him, or his liege lord? He instead abandoned both causes, fleeing to the northern Riverlands to live a quiet life. He would later attempt to travel to King's Landing to pledge his service to his old liege and now king of Westeros, only for him to be denied entry. This, along with his family's deaths, led him to regret his actions and seek atonement from his deceased friend Rhaegar.

Years later, he entered the service of Beric Dondarrion under the guise of a soldier named Lem "Lemoncloak". He later takes part in the royal party sent to kill the rogue knight, Ser Gregor Clegane. Beric's party is ambushed by the Mountain's men in the battle at the Mummer's Ford, however. This group of soldiers, knights and priests later becomes known as the "Brotherhood without Banners".

House Lonmouth

File:Arms of House Lonmouth.png
**House Lonmouth** is a landless knightly house from the Stormlands, previously in the service of House Baratheon. They are a minor house, often serving as hired knights. A common saying of the house is "the Choice is Yours", which signifies the importance of choosing one's own destiny.

## History

Joffrey Lonmouth, a close friend and bed companion of Laenor Velaryon, was mortally wounded by Criston Cole at the wedding tourney of Laenor and Rhaenyra Targaryen. Laenor named his youngest son Joffrey Velaryon after his late friend. Joffery Lonmouth's children would each be fostered throughout many houses in the Stormlands, such as House Caron and House Dondarrion.

Richard Lonmouth was a former squire and close personal friend of Prince Rhaegar Targaryen. During the infamous tourney at Harrenhal, Richard was tasked with distracting his liege lord Robert Baratheon in a drinking competition, so that Rhaegar could discover who the Knight of the Laughing Tree was.
Burton Crabb

Ser **Burton Crabb** is a landless knight of House Crabb, and the last known member who can prove their lineage.

## Appearance and Character

 File:Burton Crabb.jpg
 File:House Crabb - Coat of Arms.jpg
He has a sharp face with combed grey-brown hair, and usually looks tired. He is obsessively prideful, willing to fight at the slightest provocation. He has a quick temper and a rude attitude.

Due to having legitimate written records of his ancestry, he boasts to be the last legitimate descendant of House Crabb.

His experiences have made him a good judge of skill for duels, and knows how to fight better than most. He is a known gambler, and has fathered many unknown bastards.

## History

Burton Crabb's father was a landed knight of little wealth, owning a modest farming estate that has been in the family since the days of Ser Clarence Crabb "the Short". Having written records of their ancestry, his family was prideful of their history.

In his youth he constantly tried to improve his skills and challenge others to duels usually due to romantic trysts or drunken brawls.

He later joined the loyalist forces during Robert's Rebellion, as most young men in Crackclaw Point did at the time. He quickly became knighted on the battlefield so it is said, due to a long duel with an experienced knight of House Shawney. He became known as "the Mud Knight" due to Burton collapsing in the mud from exhaustion afterwards. This newfound knighthood would be short-lived, as the loyalist forces would be defeated and his family's lands were confiscated to be given to another.

For a time he intentionally lost tourney duels for bribes, but was later banned for life due to his actions. He now travels inn-to-inn, living on hospitality and offering lessons in swordsmanship to pay off his gambling debts.
