Adian's Biography

Born in Meirz, Austro-Caldera, on October 18th, 1979, Adian grew up to a poor Gothic family. He became interested in politics in childhood, as he's look upon Prime Leader Steinenkatz's throne in awe. Seeing his friends the target of Volin attacks, Adian pledged to make Caldera a safer place, and was elected into power after heavy propaganda work with the Volkspartei made Adian look like the most Gothic character for the job.

Since the 2030s, Adian has been subject to controversy over his inability to properly manage the population's freedom, and whether his family was secretly Burgoignesc instead of German. His military campaigns over Volins have proven fruitful, although some compare him to Eldmora's dictator during the Second Great War.

Interests

I'm interested in history, flags, firearms, maps, video games, and role play. This creates the perfect combination to make me love making wikis about role play, and venturing forth to claim more land for the glory of Caldera. I actually originally first started making wikis in early 2018, about firearms and a role playing group I was in. We used Google Drive as our basis, but the first groups slowly fell apart. In 2019, I founded a second group with the purpose of reuniting friends to play video games. This group, The Division of Arms, continues to live on.

In 2019 I also joined a social media app called Amino. This was to pursue my hobby of video games and seek other players. One thing led to another, and I was introduced to NationStates. Eventually, I received an invite to this group, of which I joined about a year after receiving said invite.

Family History

Born to a Franco-Norwegian father and a German mother, Adian's family is dominated by it's French lineage, able to be traced as far back as the mid 1700s, when the Vandal family split. The majority remained in France (particularly Normandy), and the rest fled to what is now Canada. In Canada, the family split again, with an eastern portion remaining in Québec, and a western portion spreading themselves along the Red River Valley. Further family split during different conflicts resulted in many subgroups, of which will now be listed below.

Original Vandals

The original family, likely founded sometime between 1300 and 1600 in Normandy, France. These Vandals speak French and practice Roman-Catholicism, the first to do so. Sometime in the 1750s, members of this branch migrated to Québec.

During the French Revolution, Vandals joined on both sides of the war. Later, Vandals fought for Napoleon I to secure France's dynasty. During WWI, Vandals fought against the Germans, hoping to reclaim lost French territory. During WWII, this family branch were quite controversial, and somewhat supported Vichy France, although they vowed against the racist ways of the reich.

Eastern Vandals

Founded in the 1750s in Les-Trois-Riviéres, Québec, Canada. This branch of the family stays most true to the original, speaking French and practicing Roman Catholicism. They stayed away from conflicts until WWII, where Vandals produced weapons for the allies.

Western Vandals

Founded in 1809 in the Red River Valley Settlement, Manitoba, Canada. This branch of the family mostly speaks English and practices forms of native reigions, as this branch connects with the Métis natives, and much of this branch's culture is defined by it. Throughout the 1800s, the Western Vandals protested against English rule, and in the 1880s Western Vandals joined Métis natives in battles against the English. Several were arrested and one was killed, leading to the fleeing of this branch into two others.

Vandales

Founded in Pembina, Minnesota Territory, United States, in 1850, the Vandales are the smallest of the branches and are not known for any significant accomplishments.

Vondals

Founded in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, sometime in the 1890s, this branch of the family honors its French roots and hosts various trips to Québec, with some members going to be married in France before returning to Canada. During WWII, they also contributed to the war efforts, either by fighting directly or by helping to produce weapons at factories.
