## Life

### Birth & Earlier childhood

Elijah Halmans (Alijahuax Halmiunans in Saiyol, the native language of the Sea Kingdom) was born in the Second Sea Kingdom to Father, King Johiunuh and Consort Alyahnah in the year 110. Elijah was an Octorian, which in the Sea Kingdom was the dominate race, right above the Dolphonic people. Elijah enjoyed many pleasures. being the only heir to the throne of the second sea kingdom, notes often say he would play with golden raddles and Atmorian trinkets.

### Teenage Years and the fall of the Sea Kingdom

#### Training as heir to the throne.

The Teenage years of Elijah were the most intense as far as physical and mental training as this is when he began training to become active in the government of the Second Sea Kingdom. He would be forced to study the ancient tomes of the first Sea Kingdom. During this time, he would learn **Atmorian** through translating the works of Atmorian poets to Saiyol. He also became very physically fit, learning how to fight and defend himself. This is also where his knowledge of government came from.

This time of his life also brought in extreme trauma due to a practice done by every Sea Kingdom King since then, the practice of **Godong**, an extremely harsh practice where the King beats the heir to the throne with a mangrove wood Kane in order to brainwash the heir to be the best leader as possible. This also gave the king the ability to control all thoughts and actions done by the son using one word chosen by the king. This brainwashing would all disappear after the death of the king, all commands except one, which is to continue this practice, which Elijah did years later.

#### Fall of the Sea Kingdom and death of his mother and father.

In the Second Sea Kingdom, princes could join government at the age of 16, so his 15th year (Year 125) was very busy. He would work the hardest in this tear, even working with the military against raiding Crab Tribe members. One day, Elijah chose to go on a mission with the Second Sea Kingdom to make peace with the Diabogo tribe of the Island of Infertargodorat. During this mission disaster struck. The capitol of the Second Sea Kingdom, Daeyang, was destroyed by a massive ape falling on the city, this would end up with the death of his father and mother, the later of the two he was especially close with. When the news hit him, he was deeply troubled, causing him to run away to Atmoris. This decision saved his life, as after the capitol fell, almost all remaining Sea Kingdom citizens were slaughtered by the Crab Tribe.

### Years in Atmoris and The Beginning and End of his Second family.

#### Moving to Atmoris

After the fall of the Second Sea Kingdom, he moved to a place which he knew much about due to his studies. After moving to Atmoris he quickly becomes obsessed with Atmorian culture. He perfects his fluency of the language and begins studying the culture, during this time he meets a commoner Atmorian human by the name of Hazel. He quickly fell in love with Hazel as she shared many interests with him and could hold a intellectual conversation despite being quite poor. The two would then go on to get married in the year 129, Elijah being 19 and Hazel being 17. The Next year he would go on to adopt 2 children, Alisha Halmans, and Dominic Halmans. 2 years later another disaster struck in their life, when on a hike, the big monkey once again appeared and killed Elijah's family, He was so devastated over this event he attempted to take his life using boiling water (A ritualistic way of suicide in Sea Kingdom Culture). He was found by Hazel's mother and stopped, she told him that his life has a lot more promise and not to give up. He would remain in contact with this woman until her death in 148.

#### Wandering the Wilderness and Adopting a child

After the death of his family, he got rid of most of his earthly belongings, including his money, and began wandering the wilderness looking for answers. He went to many places such as Donsk, Catopia, and the island of Infertargodorat, which culture and people would have an effect on his way of life going foward. He adopted their belief in the value of nature, and the truth of life. After three years of traveling, he landed up in the lands of the Kuhimo Dasai people. In these lands he discovered a Kuhimo camp that was completely raided by unknown bandits, the camp had many scattered bodies, but Elijah noticed one thing in particular, crying. He ran over to the tent where the crying was coming from and found a short, light skinned Kuhimo boy. Elijah filled with emotions from the horrific sight decided it would be best to bring the child to a Kuhimo Shaman.

Elijah traveled to the base of Mount Bonga where the Shaman, Tangata Poto. Poto looked at the child and asked Elijah to remain with the child for three days at the Shamans camp, to which Elijah did. Over the three days Elijah would learn many things about nature and the properties of magic. This is when Elijah could be defined as a mage. He also starts to become more attached to the Kuhimo child, giving him the name Alex. After the three days were over Elijah went back to the Shaman, which told him to adopt the child. Elijah at first refused due to the pain he still felt from the loss of his children. Eventually Poto convinced Elijah to adopt the child. After this the child would be known as Alex Halmans.

(Note: During this time Elijah learned 3 languages; Kuhimo, Donskan, and Diabogan, the language of the people of Inferat)

### Poverty and raising Alex

#### Coming back to poverty

After the adoption of Alex, Elijah sought it necessary to return to Atmoris, which he had missed but also avoided greatly. Once in Atmoris he remembered he had gotten rid of all of his money. This caused Elijah and Alex to live on the streets for 3 weeks until Elijah met someone by the name of Johnny Roberts. Johnny Roberts didn't have a clear job, but he seemed incredibly wealthy. Elijah would meet him in the horse house Elijah was staying at. Johnny would then get to know the poor Elijah, teaching him how he made money through changing the value of items he buys. Elijah took these teachings to heart and over the next 13 years he would scam his way to a large fortune, all while raising his son the same way.

#### Greed and the ultimate plan

During this time Elijah developed an unruly amount of greed, always lusting for more wealth. He lost his way on many accounts. Losing touch with the side of him that valued philosophy and self-control. He began to sleep around and use his money in harmful ways, getting temporarily addicted to Rooger. Alex Halmans growing up with this often tried to imitate his father, drinking and smoking whenever he had the chance. Alex still internally held a distain for Elijah's actions but didn't want to confront his father due to fear of him lashing out, which Elijah did often while high or drunk. Elijah went to the now 16-year-old Alex Halmans with a plan. Found a kingdom with some of Elijah's past connections, create a new system of money that has never been tried before, over value that money and buy resources, run off north and sell those resources for gold. This was Elijah's and Alex's master plan going forward.

### Founding Poopland

Elijah Halmans and Alex Halmans set sail from Atmoris to the Emirate of Donsk where he hired an army of 50 men and 2 gunboats to accompany him. His plan was to sail from Donsk to the island of Infertargodorat and take over either through friendship or warfare. Once on the island, the locals welcomed him back, to which Elijah explained that he got a message from the Siva Vuna, or what is now known as the grey wool, a magical object worshipped by the locals, that he was to rule the island, while at first the leadership of the island was suspect, they all eventually broke down to Elijah's claims. Elijah now in control of the Island, as both a religious figure and a political one, he established the Kingdom of Poopland. This was still all a front for Elijah and Alex's plans.
