Personal History

Rodeuskiss was born into a common vnou family in the lower class of Alqua. His mother peddled drugs and had little time for him and he never knew his father. Though he would never say that he was close to his mother, Rodeuskiss grew up looking out for her. It was a matter of principle, for him, even at a young age. That was his mother and he couldn't stand seeing someone bother her.

He learned rather early on that he was not normal.

Even lower class vnou get tested for their Shra aptitude in large cities. It's frequently conducted through social services, sometimes through schools, but even so some slip through the cracks. Rodeuskiss was one such vnou. He didn't attend school and he had nothing else really connecting him to any of the systems in the city that would have drawn attention to him when he was young. Instead, he was left to figure out his own limits and development on his own while tending to his often strung out mother.

It wouldn't be until his late teens that he'd get caught up in a minor gang fight and draw attention of a low ranked Shpachhad. This Shkays took note of how he handled a scuffle and started spending some time around him. He learned more about Rodeuskiss' and his living situation. Going off his hunch, the Shkays has Rodeuskiss Shra tested. Once he has the result, he presents Rodeuskiss to the Sa-Hyum of the family- which starts Rodeuskiss' service to the Shpacchad.

Rodeuskiss' late teens and early twenties is a whirl of him learning the true extent of what he's capable of. During which, he's approached in secret by a Shpatya of Drahniuaw and offered a choice - join the family, become nobility, or die.

It's a pretty easy choice for Rodeuskiss to make.

During his early work for both the Shpacchad and Drahinuaw, Rodeuskiss would meet Orasamier. He didn't pay him much mind then - he had his own mess of a life to sort through - but Ora would not let himself be forgotten. Their fated meeting took place during a winter holiday party at the Shpachhad estate. While minor amounts of alcohol were involved, both vnou found it incredibly easy to Connect with one another with little encouragement once Orasamier confronted him. Compatibility is an impossible thing to fake with vnou.

Drahinuaw didn't care too much about the Connection - they'd already been working on hooking Rodeuskiss into their fold. However, since Rodeuskiss wasn't nobility they did have to forge a lot of documentation to create a family name and construct a history as though the Kalerilosa name had always been a Fa family of Drahinuaw. Something they were willing to do because he was a high Shra and he had the red eyes and white hair the family tended to prefer.

It would be this Connection that would eventually elevate Rodeuskiss to running the Shpachhad.

As Shpacchad

Much of who and what Rodeuskiss is hasn't changed much - it's only been refined and given purpose. He'd always been an ambitious man though he had never known that his Connection to the obsessive Ora would actually be to his benefit. In his life, Ora is the only purely selfish indulgence he's taken and it still worked out to be a huge benefit since that ended up being his ticket to elevating himself to status of nobility.

Getting to actually see the grand scheme of what it means to be a noble has only upped his game when it comes to maintaining a stranglehold on Alqua for Drahinuaw. It's a way for him to secure his place in life and a home for his Bya.

Rodeuskiss is a ruthless man and isn't above abusing his Shra to manipulate, control, or outright ruin other vnou. The only one actually immune to him is Ora - a well known weakness amongst the Drahinuaw. An acceptible once, since it ties the powerful Shra to the family and ensures that he'll always do what they want him to do. Rodeuskiss is also aware of this caveat and doesn't mind since his relationship with Drahinuaw has ultimately been mutually beneficial.

Fa'Kalerilosa

The only vnou listed as related to Rodeuskiss that is actually alive and real is his mother. Other names have been fake, forged, or attached to now dead vnou. His relationship with his mother is a detached one of responsibility. He hasn't seen her in years but she's been set up in a well off home in the countryside around Alqua. Alive and well but away where she won't become a problem. The rough years of her youth have left her a little addled so she wouldn't be much use against him anyway. Rather, she believes her son has simply 'done well' for himself and that he's taking care of her. If asked when the last time he'd visited, she'd ask one of the house attendants who would dutifully answer that he'd been there 'last weekend'.

Her estate doubles as a sort of safe house and pit stop for anyone that Drahinuaw might need to move in or out of the city. They're always coded as Rodeuskiss' friends and play up as being friendly to the absentminded hostess.

Rodeuskiss has no interest in his mother but he doesn't want anything expressly bad to happen to her.

Relationship

For the entirety of Orasamier and Rodeuskiss' relationship and Connection, no one outside of the main family has known. Neither are officially married nor are any names attached to them via official registration. Rumors circulate that Rodeuskiss has a Bya tucked away at some summer home since vnou of his age simply do not have a Connection and since he is Shpachhad, it's believed it is for safety reasons. He still gets marriage proposals and offers. Many suspect he has a handful of favorites he invites back to his pent house in the Golden End of Alqua.
