## Description

### Appearance

Vapper is an adult male human, at a height of 6'3 and a weight of 200 pounds. The uniform he wears almost daily is an old-style Wayfarian uniform which he never has the heart to remove, alter, or update.

### Trusts

* Chief Viktor

* Laadan

* Ulric

Vapper is considered best friends with Vik, though they are closer to brothers. Laadan is an innocent soul who came to Wayfar for help. VARHLIN is one of the founding members of the OVA, and King Saturn has Vapper at his beck and call should the need arise.

## General Information

Vapper helped Chief Viktor in the formation of Wayfar, where they lived for years undisturbed. Vapper is highly irradiated, surviving only because of his RCD, or Radiation Control Device. When Kathar joined the OVA, he began work on weapons prototypes for the OVA's new airships. He is a trustworthy man, yet is known for brutally exploiting said trust in his schemes.

## History

### Arrival to Eventide

Vapper originates from a seperate dimension, where a conflict known as the Arctic War had been going on for years. He was researching the Archolith reactor when it overloaded, causing a catastrophic failure. As a result, he was sent across dimensions, directly in the center of modern day Wayfar.

### Lifelong Friend

Soon after his arrival to Eventide, He found shelter in a nearby cave. After four days of surviving alone in the cold wasteland, the heat of a Nether Portal would open not 50m from Vappers shelter. Viktor stumbled out of it, and fell to his knees, coming to terms with his crimes.

### Espionage in Kathar

When Snow convinced the World to despise Kathar even after Symond's death, Vapper was not unaffected. In fact, he was so moved by Snow's plot that he laid the groundwork for a betrayal that would destroy Kathar entirely. Before his plan could come to fruition however, he took a liking to the nation as the effects of the Luck Potion and Axe of Eden wore off. This would lead up to the Skirmish of Monteriggioni, where King Saturn would give Snow the Sword of Eden, despite Vapper advising him not to do so.

### Weapon Manufacturing

When the OVA was first formed, Vapper was assigned to develop weapons capable of leveling entire nations when necessary. Vapper had an idea in mind, and began work on a Napalm Bomb. It took him several weeks, but the technology was now firmly in the grasp of the OVA. Along the way, he found two other weapon types that could be deployed on airships. Possible reassignment into KNS weapon development is pending, though on hold until the OVA can break free of the Nether.

> Fine. I'll tend to the flame, you can worship the ashes.

### Betrayal

Vapper was not surprised when Chief Viktor sided with Hermes, but he was absolutely disappointed. Vapper had always believed that Viktor would see the error in his ways, and using the information he received from previous wrongdoings, avoid power grabs. This wasn't the case, as it seemed that Viktor would jump to anything to increase his power level. Vapper watched from the shadows as Snow released Hermes onto the world, and when the ritual was completed, he concealed himself in so much radiation that he barely existed. There, he waits for the OVA to reclaim the Overworld.

### The End of a Long Wait

After six months of waiting, Vapper was able to watch as the Overworld was retaken by the OVA. He waited longer still, until he was able to decloak himself. He was successfully reintegrated into the OVA, and served as a Royal Guard for Carolus for several months until Carolus's death at the hands of Viktor. Vapper believed that to be one of his greatest failures, since he was sworn to protect the High King, but to do so, he would have to fight his brother. Vapper still could not let go of him.

### The Royal Guard

After Carolus's death, a new High King was crowned for the OVA. Carolus's apprentice, Ulric Elbeck, was next in line for the throne. He would be successfully crowned, and Vapper would go to him and swear to protect him as he tried to do for Carolus. Ulric Elbeck would accept Vapper, and from there he served several years under the High King, and still does today. Vapper even went so far as to sacrifice himself for Ulric Elbeck, taking his place as Dakarda's sacrifice. Shortly after, the leadership of Ulric Elbeck was called into question after King Saturn and Koin of Rular brought a vote of no confidence to the High King. Vapper, enraged by this, now seeks a way out of the vote. If push comes to shove, Vapper will have little issue betraying those that seek to tear down the High King. It's what he's good for, after all.
