Febuar

Febuar is a character created by JGREAD. He is a member of the Dragon Council who together created Chima, and the second month of the continent's unified calendar, February, was named after him by the Chimians.

## Biography

### Early Life

Like the other Dragons who would later create the planet Chima, Febuar was born on an unknown planet. Rising to become Lord of a region on that planet, Febuar eventually had his rule contested by another dragon, who he defeated in battle. After his conflict with the now fell-dragon, Febuar began to consider exercising more direct rule over his domain, to prevent conflicts over leadership. However, he retired from this position in favor of joining Decemar's group, traveling out into space to create a new universe, and its accompanying afterlife. Febuar was enthusiastic to create a world of order, having lost faith in his home realm in that regard.

### Creation of Chima

(Copy-pasted from the Dragons page.)

Two million years before the events of the RP, in the Visible Domain (the material universe) the twelve Dragons formed a new planet they called Chima, and an accompanying pocket dimension within the Invisible Domain (the immaterial), which later came to be known as the Chi Ghost Realm. The Dragons, under their self-proclaimed leader, Decemar, created the Phoenix from the local sun to be the perpetually reincarnating guardians of the planet; then primitive, but with an ingrained instinct to protect life. At the same time the Dragons created the Phoenix, the land north of the Iron Mountains became eternally cold even without the Gods' input, to maintain the natural balance of Fire and Ice.

Over multiple millennia, the Dragons experimented with cell combinations, eventually creating the final versions of many primitive species: Lions, Leopards, Tigers, Peacocks, Sabertooth Tigers, Crocodiles, Vultures, Mammoths, Eagles, Spiders, Skunks, Scorpions, Gorillas, Rhinos, Foxes, Beavers, Wolves, Ravens, Bears, Bats, Sharks, Fish, and Manta and Sting Rays. By the year 1,000 BR, the Dragons decided to grant the animals sapience. As they left the physical realm for the sake of Chima’s people having free will, they dispersed their powers into water, and the "chi" poured from holes in Mount Cavora; this later came to be known as the First Great Illumination. Almost all species drank the chi and were evolved (Fish having been made incapable of evolution, so that they'd serve as food for the carnivorous species), but during this time, one of the Dragons, Octavius, had a vision about the Rays, Sharks, Bats, Scorpions and Spiders creating factions that were too powerful if left unchecked, risking a Chima ruled by an empire. Because of this, Octavius relocated the aquatic species' far from Cavora's continent (which came to be known simply as Chima by its people), and created The Gorge of Eternal Depth, to serve as a natural confinement-habitat hybrid for the Bats and arachnids; with these actions, he ironically created a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The Dragons had ingrained their language within the DNA of every living being on the planet, so that all automatically knew what to speak upon evolving; this prevented language barriers at the start of civilization, which the Dragons viewed as a would-be obstacle. Eleven of the twelve Dragons willingly became immaterial, moving into the Chi Ghost Realm to become passive observers of the material world, and to watch over the souls of Chimians' whose physical bodies were deceased.

### Desire for a World of Order

However, Febuar secretly remained in Chima, taking on the form of a phoenix, and becoming the tribe's first Emperor after being elected by the Phoenix Senate (who may have known his true identity). He dispersed and solidified most of his powers, creating the nine Fire Wing Harnesses for the purpose of resetting the universe; should Chima ever become too chaotic with the many different species and beliefs clashing, Febuar believed this would restore order. With the assistance of the Phoenix, he also created fire chi, and later the Fire Trials to allow other species to earn it.

### Forming and Fracturing Relations

In the year 991 BR, following the Tiger—Lion War, the Tigers earned fire chi from the Phoenix, deciding to make it their power source as an alternative to chi, and allied with the Phoenix, forming the Fire Tribes. Phoenix Emperor Febuar then used the last of his Dragon powers to grant the new Tiger King, and all members of his bloodline, extremely long lifespans akin to the Dragons and Phoenix. Within the Phoenix Tribe, however, a moral debate began regarding the universe-resetting powers of the Fire Wing Harnesses. Eventually, three phoenix, Fal'qar, "Zarak", and Faerin, stood opposed to Febuar; after trying and failing to destroy the Harnesses, they fled from their tribe.

### Assassination

In 980 BR, Febuar's two-decade leadership of the Phoenix came to an end when Faerin infiltrated the Phoenix Isles, managing to catch the Emperor off-guard and kill him. Since Febuar's soul didn't return to his fellow Dragons in the Chi Ghost Realm, it is unknown where he is currently.
