## Biography

## Before Iaddithis

Flav Syrius Maj' was born in an unknown and fallen continent, known as ***Oltremare***. The people who inhabitated such lands were part of an highly culturated and sophisticated society, which revolved around **the centrality of man, its deeds and potential.** In particular, much attention was given to the role of every citizen in the state and their capabilities, (allowing people to follow their dreams and vocations and raising the general happiness in most of the nations) that were emphasized and cultivated since the first years of life. The concept of religion itself wasn't present in the Oltremarean civilization, being substituted with the research of an happy and fulfilling life. Flav spent the days of his childhood and adolescence like any other normal kid, **developing a huge interest in law and politics**, taking part in many debates between the political parties of ***Domus***, his town. After having finally earned a degree in law, Flav was able to become well known by the population of Domus because of his sounding speeches and his political projects, thus being elected mayor of the small coastal village.

*"Life surely was much easier back then. No wars, no chaos, death or pain. But, as of now, the only thing I can do is remember..."*

## The end of Oltremare

Yet, despite the greatness and wisdom of such population, **the end of Oltremare** would have come in a very much unexpected way, in **a blaze of fire from the unmatched force of nature**. It is not sure yet what really happened on that sad day, not even FS himself is completely sure, but apparently the continent was destroyed by **a giant cataclysm** that obliterated everything in its path.

```
*`"I don't recall the exact moment, but i do remember it was night. Outside it was pitch black and clouds covered the sky. Not even the light of the moon could have warned us from what was coming. It all happened in a few seconds. First, a huge crack, the earth itself was opening below us, then the temperature started skyrocketing and flames started pouring down from the sky,along with stones and gravel. On other places of the coast it was said that waves that were as high as mountains were completely annihilating entire cities. I didn't have that much time to react, so i ran off to the streets."`*

Flav barely made it out alive. To his saying, he was able to dodge the debris that were raining from the sky and get to the dock near his house. **None of his relatives survived the disaster.** He hopped on the first boat he found and ,along with a group of strangers, got as far from the shore as possible, as the water level started rising and engulfing what was left of *Domus* and the continent. Yet, he didn't know that the people he had met on that boat during that despairing day would ,with time, have become **his closest friends and the founders of a new nation**.
