Kai

**Kai Vremya**, sometimes referred to as **Lemon**, is a former government official in The USSR and leader of The Vremya Revolution. Throughout their time in the USSR they remained fairly quiet and neutral until The Election of 2020 where they began showing more passion for their beliefs.

## Kai

### Affiliation

USSR government (Formerly), The Vremya Revolution (Formerly), Tyranny Party I (Formerly), Mod Party, Ace’s Goth Girlfriend Squad

## Personality

At first, Kai was a heavily neutral person, not having much strong conviction one way or another. Their inoffensive stances and eagerness to ensure change made them an ideal candidate for the USSR government. After Noëlle’s betrayal, Kai became overcome by rage and vengeance, making their sole purpose in life to enact revenge against her. During this time period, Kai also became somewhat of a strategist, wanting to make sure their plans were seen through efficiently. During a mining related incident, Kai endured severe brain damage, skewing their perception of the world around them. They are now airheaded, scatterbrained and suffering from dyspraxia tendencies. They have become oblivious to those around them, and easily distracted.

## History

### Settlement

Kai was accepted into the USSR Government during the Settlement arc.

### The Election of 2020

During the USSR’s first election, Noëlle asked Kai to join the Tyranny Party and they agreed due to their friendship. Unlike Elli, they remained unaffected by Noëlle’s chaotic ways despite Noëlle’s offer to gain more power, displaying their loyal nature. They did, however, strive to fight against those who spoke negatively about their party.

### The Vremya Revolution

Almost immediately after Noëlle was titled overlord, all former government officials were exiled. Kai took a few other ex governors on a rowing boat and ended up at Paingola. After being blinded in one eye by one of the oars on the way there, Kai used this as the base for their new revolution they convinced the others they needed after being betrayed by Noëlle, completely oblivious of the people who already lived there. After a brief run in with the chief of a tribe there, Moldy, it agreed to join their cause. Kai and the rest of the revolution sent an orange sealed letter, declaring war on The USSR, only to arrive late to another revolution lead by the USSR public, which had caused much more damage than they’d hoped. After a short meltdown, Kai came to realise all the problems in their life stemmed from Noëlle, and blinded by rage, killed them. Kai quickly forged a makeshift contract and asked those willing that they sign it to join them in the mines to make money and start anew. Unfortunately this quickly took a turn for the worse, as the mods would have to hope and pray they got enough gems from mining to pay for a meal.

### The In-Between

Kai and the MOD Team practically rebuilt the USSR from the ground up, although due to Kai’s recent brain injury, this took longer than anticipated. Kai announced that to show their anti-tyranny message loud and clear, they’re going to hold the third annual USSR presidential election.

### Election of 2022

Led by Kai Vremya, with Mauve Zvezda and Anna Famine as their running mates, The Mod Party aimed to keep things running the way they were whilst Kai was still in the process of restoring the country, essentially as a capitalist dystopia where everyone works 22 hour shifts in the mines and gets paid piss poorly, so that Kai can earn the majority of what they make. The party lost to Homophobia Party, run by Lyra Blevins.

### Citrus Cide

Kai was victim to several failed assassination attempts by the Anti-Lemon Alliance in an attempt to bring justice to Noëlle and Ghost. Kai was oblivious to all of these thanks to their loss of sanity, and remained unknowing of the party’s true intentions until they were revealed towards the end of Operation: Slumber Party.

#### Operation: Dinner Party

The plan was to spike Kai’s drink, and distinguish which it is with a vibrant purple colour. The plan fell through when ben took Kai’s drink for himself, and Kai’s short attention span demanded they have a drink for each colour of the rainbow. ben then continued to drink actual clorox bleach and forced Kai to consume ricin just to make everything even more of a train wreck than it already was. The evening concluded with Lapira telling everyone their plan was foolish anyways, as the lack of active Acid Dungeon Master at the time meant the poison wouldn’t have worked anyways.

#### Operation: Slumber Party

Why must God give his sleepiest warriors the deepest naps? The plan was to murder Kai peacefully in their sleep through various methods. Kai discovered this was the true nature of the trip too late, mere moments before they were offed through blood loss after Lyra shot them with a Snake Launcher. This brought a satisfying conclusion, in Noëlle’s eyes, to their one sided rivalry.

## Relationships

### Noëlle

What started as a regular friendship ended in a fizzle, with no dramatic fight, just a half accidental death at the hands of an accomplice of Noëlle’s. The two began as work friends on the mod team, before Noëlle’s betrayal of the USSR government, when Kai’s resentment first made itself known, a hatred that festered and expanded with time. After Kai killed Noëlle, this rivalry was no longer one sided, although that was short lived as soon after Kai lost their sanity, causing them to also lose any ill will they may have had towards their former nemesis. Noëlle, however, would not be satisfied until she felt justice was served, with Kai dying by her hand. In a skewed way, this did happen, and as such Noëlle kept true to her word, dropping the grudge once and for all. They now maintain an awkward almost-friendship.

### Ghost

Kai, unfortunately, did not get off so lucky with Ghost. Ghost and Kai, to begin with, very much shared the same dynamic as Noëlle and Kai, up until when Kai is killed. Ghost does not get any sense of closure from this as he deemed it to be pure happenstance, and therefore is not really the vengeful ultimatum he had hoped for. He still carries his grudge, and runs the Anti-Lemon Alliance in Noëlle’s absence, a group Kai is still pretty sure is called “Apple Lovers Anonymous”
