Erupto Tarnokku is a human with fungic organs living in Langlade, Santochi. He is currently the Executive of the Santochi government and the CEO of the SNBC.

## Story

### Origin

Erupto Tarnokku was born somewhere on the roads of Rathnir, son of a merchant family : the De Potatoesburg. However when he was 13, he was the only survivor of the sinking of a boat going to Eldham. The orphan then became a nomad, travelling across Eldham from market to market.

### ImReallyExited and Langlade

When Erupto was 24, after a bandit stole all his merchandise in Ravenguard, he found refuge in the city of Langlade, in Northern Arsine, where the mayor at this time, ImReallyExited, offered him to join the city. Erupto quickly accepted and settled down temporarily in the town's tavern. It was there that he got interested in brewery, starting from almost nothing in the tavern's attic. He quickly made friends with ImReallyExited and Jakon Snakoza, with whom he is still friend, and helped to develop the city. However, Exited's health continued to deteriorate and he had to retire. This greatly impacted Erupto who saw the mayor almost as his second father. Emergency elections were held and Vanuxx, the co-founder of the city was elected president of the self-proclaimed Republic of Langlade. But the next morning, Vanuxx, under the threat of a Ravenguard invasion, decided to nominate Erupto president instead of himself. As his first decision, the new president decided to accept Ravenguard's ultimatum and was integrated into the empire.

### The Neihernspried

While he was working on the city hall, Erupto was approached by a strange man, proposing him free "C0 stew" Erupto accepted without knowing that it contained Neiherspried spores. The next day, after not feeling well, he asked the man, who revealed himself as Pontius, told him that the stew infected him, and he had a living being in it. He then brought him to the Draeskla library, on a floating island over the sea, where he met Ashren and Cab, who were also infected by the C-Branch. He performed various actions for the group, until a decisive victory against the Anti-Neihern Resistance led to the disbanding of the group. However, he would continue to spend numerous day at the Draesklan library and bar and learn of to live in symbiosis with C5, granting him near immortality, as the fungus replaces his failing organs.

### Independence and Civil War

Erupto ws planning to break free from Ravenguard since the day they annexed his city, so he began reaching to his neighbours, he first established relation with the Technocracy of Santochi, led by knowone. He improved the relation between the two cities, to the point where he was noticed by illegitimate claims within the Northern Arsine region and met SucculentSauce and MrAnanas, who were also calling for independence for their cities. Seeing this as a potential threat and not wanting to deal with an insurrection, negotiated with the mayors, and granted independence to the Republic of Cyris-Otello-Langlade for 200k. However, the instability caused by the federal system of the Republic, and the relative incompetence of MrAnanas led to a plot to remove him from power. The new Senator along with First Consul Erupto arrested him at the Langlane Parliament and judged him. Ananas was declared guilty, and had to pay 10k of debts to his citizens, along with being removed from his position of Consul. However, instead of accepting his punishment, Ananas fled to his city Kantara and declared unilaterally independnce , starting the Chelon Civil War.

Immediately after the start of the Civil War, the remaining consuls and almost all the Senators proclaimed the Confederation of Chelon, with a more centralized system. Erupto was part of the Provisional Government, and decided to pass mayorship of Langlade to AlanBecker, who he believed was a much more competent leader than him. Erupto fought in the First Battle of Kantara, but not in the other battles of the Civil War due to him not being an excellent fighter.

### Political Career in Santochi

##### 1st-4th Senate

After the end of the Chelon Civil War and the proclamation of the Confederation of Santochi, Erupto changed his named to Erupto Tarnokku for the elections, as it sounded more Santoxii/Cheloni. He was one of the first 6 Senators, continuing to work for the good of his nation. As soon as political parties formed, Erupto decided to join the Santochi Syndicate, and would remain a loyal member of the party from there. His involvment in the country will make him win every election, until the 5th Senate.

##### Erupt'Hour and 5th Senate

As santochi began to make its way to the world stage, many dual citizens, mostly from the AWE, began to join Santochi. To a point where during the 5th Senate elections, the SPQF, who was composed of AWE dual citizens, was accused of electoral fraud and wanting to be integrated into the AWE. This created a pronfond devide between mainland citizens and the Elathaven province and Erupto, seeing this as a threat to Santochi integrity, decided to seize power temporarily, before giving power back to the Senators after an hour and the tension settled down. However, this severely reduced his popularity, and he lost the 6th seat to Tosa Sasabe, luckily for him, he was nominated executive, which is an unclear position, giving him the right to be in the Senate but not to vote on the laws.

##### Retirement

Judging that he couldn't bring anything more to Santochi, and also because of his deteriorating physical conditions, Erupto decided to retire from the government and lives far away from the politics in its Langlane residence.

### SNBC and Sudarenko

In an attempt to promote culture in Santochi, Erupto created the Santochi National Brewing Company, and used the money he made with the company to buy ammunitions for the Confederal Militia, as well as a city that he named Sudarenko, (literally Port of the Southern River in Santoxi), where he installed the headquarters of his company.

## Equipment

### Potatoslayer

Erupto forged himself his own weapon after the Chelon Civil War : The Potatoslayer. The Potatoslayer is an enchanted emerald Katana and can be used for both killing enemies and baking potatoes, hence its name.

### Turtle Helm and Legionnaire Sabaton

While scavenging in an abandoned city, Erupto found in a secret room an enchanted Turtle Helmet that allowed him to breathe underwater as well as a pair of boots that prevented him from dying of fall and allowing him to walk normally into the water.

### Erupto's Left Liver

Following a dispute between him and Buchiski, Erupto decided to offer his left liver, in sign of reconciliation. It regrew completely after 2 days.
