Biography[]
Early Life in Irilen[]
Waviestus lived an initially humble and peaceful life in a fortified town called Irilen in a place far from Atlas, and was an only child of parents whose name have been lost to time by memory. Waviest's parents worked as drug traffickers on the black market, but were eventually caught and executed. Waviest was then exiled to Atlas as punishment.
Life as a Scavenger[]
Waviestus woke up in Atlas around the area of Intrem, and followed the road to Ironspire, then took a paddleboat from Ironspire down to Gump through a river. When they were paddling and exploring their new world, they discovered an abandoned, dusty hut with enchanted diamond armor inside. They took it, thinking that the owner was long gone. They eventually came across Gump, and decided to visit it. However, they were stopped by a large group of Gump soldiers, robbing Waviestus of their armor.
Olympia[]
Waviestus traveled north around Atlas, but found no settlement willing to let them in. Eventually, they came across the town of Olympia, where Wolf Turambar greeted Waviestus and let him stay as a citizen in exchange for loyalty. Waviestus happily agreed. Soon after they joined Olympia as a citizen, Olympia fought in the 2 Minute War against Imperium. Sidora provided military assistance because they also were in AUTM, which first stood for Alliance Under The Mountain, which started out with Olympia, Elderwood, Tesco, Sidora, and Deadfrost being members. Waviestus was traumatized after seeing all their fellow citizens and friends die there, and then dying their first death at the hands of Imperium. They were surprised that in Atlas, you just woke up after you died. Waviestus was then promoted to Military Leader of Olympia because they were the only non-leader from Olympia who had participated in the 2 Minute War. Waviest also recieved a vision from Breadis around this time, spreading the word of Breadis and founding the religion of Breadism, which eventually led to it becoming the official religion of AUTM. Following that, the Great War (Rag+Core vs Gump) occurred, and AUTM soldiers were positioned in the Evoker's Castle to kill the Evoker King for their Totem of Life, but were killed before being able to do so. After that, Wolf Turambar reclaimed the old city of Cyanlight to become New Cyanlight, and left Waviestus as the only citizen left active in Olympia for around nine months (3 irl weeks). Wolf later came back to Olympia and it received a surge in population, with figures such as Iron de Cartelin, Tvtv de Cartelin, akaSneakydeer Turambar, Destructech, ACatWithASword, Elbenos, and SprintYT all joining Olympia. Wolf then married Djcwer Turambar, and the next day, Waviestus married Hydrolnix de Cartelin, whom they had been engaged with for some time before. Iron left Olympia, then joined Aepholia, which was percieved as treason by Wolf Turambar. Aepholia was widely disliked among the Atlas geopolitical world, and Wolf, pressured by demands of blood by the more bloodthirsty of his soldiers, gave in and sent an ultimatum to Aepholia, leading to the War of Aepholia, which was a pyrrhic victory for AUTM. Waviestus then packed their belongings and moved to Terra Sicar to be with their wife, Hydrolnix.
Terra Sicar[]
Upon joining Terra Sicar, Waviestus was immediately was promoted to Co-leader by Shadow Turambar, the leader of the northern town. Waviest spent most their time in Terra Sicar deciding a flag of Terra Sicar with Shadow, building a flag of Terra Sicar, and increasing the walls' height in response to a raid by Ragnarok members to 40 meters tall. AUTM joined ACT around this time, and Waviest was decided as AUTM's other ACT High Council representative.
Attempted Coup Against Wolf Turambar[]
One day when Waviestus was in Terra Sicar, Wolf gathered several AUTM officials, including Waviest, and asked them whether they wanted to join Asgard or not, a nation that had invited New Cyanlight to their ranks. All of the officials voted against joining Asgard, especially since Asgard had Imperium as one of its members, a long-time enemy of AUTM. Wolf then proclaimed New Cyanlight and Aepholia were joining Asgard, and since Wolf was in New Cyanlight at the time, Waviest took it as treason. Waviest confronted Wolf later one on one, and started to repeatedly insult Wolf, telling him they'd resolve matters in the Court of Santoria, where if they'd win the case, they'd seize control in AUTM. Waviest quickly convinced most of the AUTM officials to join their side, and it was only due to the intervention of MrCheese, who Waviest had chosen for their lawyer to sue Wolf, that Waviest stopped insulting Wolf and realized the gravity of their actions. Waviest then formally apologized to AUTM and Wolf for his actions, and spent the rest of their life attempting to fully redeem themselves.
Koshkatsk[]
Waviest created Koshkatsk, a small village in an island chain to the far northeast, to fulfill their dreams of owning a land themselves. However, Waviest found substantial difficulties while building it up, including the island they were building Koshkatsk in being partially griefed and having substantial difficulty in acquiring new members. Waviest also fought in a minor conflict when Nameel was jumped by Shadowspire, where ACT quickly came to their aid, leading to Rivercore coming to Shadowspire's aid in a large skirmish.
Doriath[]
Waviest then joined Wolf's new land, Doriath, alongside with Destructech, on the northern tip of the Beleriand continent. It has since been expanding and is in the process of becoming a fully fledged city. Wolf then moved back to Olympia to become its new leader, and Waviest was promoted to Leader of Doriath. Waviest collapsed and died at the age of 39 possibly permanently, due to a heart attack while in his home at Doriath and complications involving his wounds from his wars he fought in when younger.

Waviestus de Cartelin was 5'6" (167.64 cm) tall and weighed 145 pounds (65.8 kg).

Waviest was often described as having long and sharp eyes. For clothing, Waviest usually wore a formal, human-style suit with a tie. When swimming, Waviest swam without clothing, as is typical for aquatic mantises. Waviest also had a set of clothing from Irilen.
Personality[]
Waviest was often described as "controlling, power hungry, hypocritical, and proud". Waviest often condescended to people he thinks is inferior, A calculating and critical person, they are often blunt at managing emotions, and has a tendency to make bad decisions. They often switch from being very casual at one moment to very serious and calculating at the next moment. However, Waviest had good sides, such as caring deeply about their friends and willing to do anything for AUTM, their beloved nation. They were also, despite their flaws, a shrewd leader who has no qualms about lying or scheming.
Family[]
Waviestus de Cartelin was adopted by Wolf Turambar at the age of 17. He married Hydrolnix de Cartelin at the age of 23, and started the de Cartelin branch of the noble family House Turambar with her. Waviest had three children with her, Iron de Cartelin, Gulli de Cartelin, and Tvtv de Cartelin. He then disowned Hydrolnix following several arguments around Hydrolnix abusing Iron and them spamming @-everyone in several AUTM-related discords. At 26, he married Phomont of Katzestan, adopting a single child with her, Jann Ibn Ifrati. However, this did not last long, as Waviestus divorced Phomont and Iron, in response to Phomont crossing Waviest's moral lines one too many times and Iron joining the city of Smitzerland for a brief moment, and Gulli and Jann divorced Waviestus in response. For now, Waviest's sole son is Tvtv.
