Asko Harma

The portrait of Asko Harma

**Asko Harma** was born in New Tallinn on February 6th 2122 to Mehis Harma and Katariina Harma. The time of his birthday coincided with a period of decreasing Soviet activity in the Baltic regions, ending most russification programs and ceasing the forced expulsion of people from the territories. Thus the first decade of Asko's life would be relatively calm, growing up in a middle class family. This came to an end in the 2130's, as Soviet authorities began to implement new russification programs upon the realisation that the previous ones had failed in truly russifying the populace. Soon enough these programs and renewed forced relocations would also affect the Harma family, as Mehis Harma was forcably taken away to another region of the Soviet state, soon after to disappear from official state records - probably killed. Meanwhile Katariina and Asko would fall out of the middle class as the Soviets forcibly seized their property near New Tallinn, forcing them to relocate to the city itself. After finishing school, Asko would get a job at a factory to support his aging mother. Following the death of his mother and the end of Soviet repressions in 2150, Asko left his factory job and began working at better jobs, gaining enough money to live by comfortably. Even with this, he still felt unsafe under Soviet rule and had come to despise the government, which, to his knowledge, had killed his father and was also definitely responsible for the poverty of his early childhood and his longtime inability to obtain a better job. When war began between New Africa and the USSR, Asko left his last job and began illegally obtaining weapons and causing trouble for the Soviet regime, eventually moving to New Riga near the end of the conflict.

He moved to New Riga during the New African Invasion(Maybe?), he joined the Latvian Restoration Party because he agreed with Kārlis Priede's idea that the russians were satanic spawn, only knowing then for the KGB and Stalin. Even though he doesn't agree all non-baltic races are satanic spawn, it is the poltical party he most agrees with. He becomes friends with Kārlis Priede, making Asko Harma the Second in Control of the party. Eventually he can realise that the Russians are not Satanic Spawn and become a civilian dictatorship guy. In the Voices ending for Kārlis Priede's Latvia, Asko Harma becomes the leader of Government Remnants near New Tallinn. If he takes over the city of New Riga he finds a speech or something written by Kārlis Priede himself, with something along the lines of "Estonians and Lithuanians are actually Satanic Spawn, how did I not realise this before." Asko Harma then decides to ditch the party and forms the country into the "Estonian Recontruction Authority", planning on completely destroying the legacy of Kārlis Priede and removing all of his influence from everything. Also in this ending he realises Russians aren't satanic spawn so becomes a Civilian dictatorship guy. If Kārlis Priede survives the voices he will do the thing to make Estonians and Lithuanians considered Satanic Spawn b the country. If this happens Asko Harma will get killed by Kārlis Priede.
