## Biography

#### Early Life

Predating the start of Zamotian civilization, citrus was born from a large Femminello St Teresa lemon tree. Located in the lands that became the Zamotz province of Elatsania, they were the last of 314 Femminello Lemons to fall from the tree's branches. Ostracized by their family members because of this fact, citrus would often be called "loser" as a title of disrespect. Eventually abandoned by their family, citrus would spend much of their life alone, wandering through the Elatsanian wilderness training their body.

#### Later Life

After the unification of Zamotz and the creation of the Zamotz Union, citrus had come across the city of Indusia. Being granted citizenship, citrus became a part of the city's growing minority of non-human residents.

citrus would go on to work as both an architect and farmer in Indusia. Assisting with the city's reconstruction following a major raid, they began a business of selling sugarcane as a source of food. Although Femminello Lemons can eat sugarcane as a source of nutrition, most other species cannot; this has led to the venture generating very little revenue, though citrus hardly worries about profiting.

## Arcs

#### Homesick Arc

Although citrus was doing well in Indusia, they started to feel homesick for a place that had not yet existed. They felt that they needed to set off to create their own place to call home and thought the best place to do this would be around their mother (Femminello St Teresa, a large lemon tree). They would go on to call this new home "Femminellia", based after the Femminello St Teresa lemon tree, and decided that the architecture would be similar to that of "Cinque Terre". This new home was exactly what citrus needed.

#### Alchemist Arc

After talking to a close friend of citrus who happens to be a forgemaster, the idea of inbuing tools and armor with near magical powers to be above and beyond greatly fasinated citrus. They would come to learn of the skill Alchemy and use it to further the power of their own tools and armor unknowing that it could also be used to create brews. When learning of the ability to create brews with powerful effects using this newfound skill, citrus would experiment with low-level brews such as "Regeneration". After creating a few mystical brews citrus thought up an idea of how they could use these brews to their advantage.

Being rejected by most, citrus only wished to become friends with any and everyone they would come in contact with. Since citrus could not do this by normal means, they would go on to start testing other means of gaining friendship via Alchemy. Upon creating their first prototype for their "Friendship Concoction", added a toxic ingredient into the brew causing it to explode on contact with this ingredient, causing citrus' clothing to become stained and harmful gases to be released into the air harming citrus and allowing "Intrusive thoughts" to take control of citrus.

#### Pirate Backstory

(get lore-writer to make this more indepth and better lolw)

citrus, before settling down in Indusia, would wonder the world as a "pirate". They would explore what the world and nature had to offer. While exploring, citrus would eat a lot of lemons to replenish their citric acid. citrus ate so many lemons that it caused them to have a permanent glow, so blinding it made it would be hard for some people to be around them due to how bright they would glow.
