Oahoanu

Oahoanu (known fully as Oahoanu Tamatea Waitangi Ahua) is the reigning Emperor of Polynesia. He is the oldest son of the former Emperor Ehe and a direct descendant of the founder of the Oan Isles, Ahua the Great. Born in and raised in Tokapa, he was educated in the Oan Isles and Great Morstaybishlia, served in the Oan Defence Forces, and took over the running of the Oan royal family’s financial portfolio and philanthropy when his father ascended to the throne. He undertook various royal duties such as meeting with foreign leaders. After the 2016 terrorist attack on Tokapa, his father abdicated and he assumed the throne. He was instrumental in leading the Oan fight during the Auroran-Pacific War. Nevertheless, in a case brought by Freedom International, the extent of the powers which accrued to his office was deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. He saw the War of the Kohatu Isles, by which the Diamond Authority that ruled over the islands of Gemica, Stonica and Jewelica was overthrown and they were brought into the Oan political orbit. He married Aroha, who was instrumental in the reconstruction of the Kohatu Isles, and has a son out of wedlock, Crown Prince Moana.

Early life

Oahoanu was born in the city of Tokapa in the royal Putangitangi Palace in the neighborhood of the same name to then-Crown Prince Ehe and then-Princess Eleanor of Staynes. He was born healthy and strong. Because he lived in a multi-ethnic family, his upbringing was influenced by the customs of his parents’ respective nationalities. Because of his father’s responsibilities and personal ambitions, he was not often around and his mother bore most of the work of raising him. Despite his father’s relative absence being a source of conflict for his parents he later described his upbringing as happy and normal.

Upon her marriage to Ehe, Eleanor converted to Mauism and he adopted the faith at an early age. He attended Putangitangi Primary School when he started his education. His teachers reported that he enjoyed mathematics and drawing and they encouraged him to pursue these areas. As he grew, his interests shifted and he played rugby. He attended Giovanni Santorini College in Aeternum, Caltharus where he played rugby competitively and thrived in science, mathematics and economics. After retiring from military service, he studied economics and politics at the Royal Bursil University and studied a masters in International Relations from the University of Tokapa.

Military career

After matriculating from Caltharus, he returned to the Oan Isles to complete military training. He was trained in the Tokapa Army Academy for a year and trained at the Royal Armed Forces of the Empire Air Force Base in South Staynes as a airplane pilot for another year. He returned to the Oan Isles and was deployed to the 13th Air Regiment under the command of Major General Tokana Rotuha. He was praised by his colleagues and commanding officers for his discipline and reliability. He worked in several missions such as transporting supplies to conflict zones and naval deployments in the South Pacific Ocean. During his service he was introduced to Lady Amara, daughter of the then-Monoherra of the Asian Pacific Islands, Markka IV. They had a brief courtship and a child was born, then-Prince Moana. The child stayed with his mother, but Oahoanu visited often.
