Thumim V: Difference between revisions

Prince Thumim was born in 1979 prior to the end of the Second Packilvanian Civil War to then-Viscount Noi Bedon and Countess Mebri Bedon. He was named by his grandfather Earl Amhoud Bedon. His great-grandfather then Duke Amhoud Bedon of Makobar was leading the Carriers of Mercy against the Packilvanian Communist Party. Thus, Countess Mebri Bedon often had to move around with the young Thumim until he was 6 years old when the war was won and Duke [[Amhoud I|Amhoud]] Bedon was crowned as [[Sultan of Packilvania]] in [[Adrien]] at the [[Temple of the Restoration]] and victory was declared over the Packilvanian Communist Party.

The initial years of the Bedonite reign were characterised by the consolidation of power by the [[Bedonite dynasty]]. This entailed putting Communist leaders on trial, having them detained, executed or exiled, integrating and managing the administration and military of the state among other things. Furthermore, when Sultan [[Amhoud I]] died in 1990, Sultan [[Amhoud II]] was crowned making then Crown Prince Noi the heir apparent and Prince Thumim the second in line to the throne at Ththe age of 11. At this time, the Crown was particularly vulnerable and Crown Prince Noi was worried that he would be usurped by his ambitious siblings.

In the process, he went about eliminating his opponents and putting his supporters in positions of power in the government. To ensure that his line would always survive he took multiple spouses after now-Sultana Mebri and subjected Prince Thumim throughto rigorous training and sometimes physical and mental trainingabuse to allegedly prepare himselfhim for the rigors of ruling including having him execute prisoners at gunpoint. In a fit of rage over the Prince's failure to accomplish a task, Crown Prince Noi beat his son so badly, he permanently damaged his reproductive organs causing him to be infertile. This incident was so bad that Crown Princess Mebri threatened to leave him and run away with Prince Thumim. Thus, he built the Sultana's Palace where his wife and Prince Thumim, [[Prince Abuyin Bedon]] and Princess Yadika Bedon resided.

Prince Thumim spent time recovering from the emotional, psychological and physical trauma caused by his father's actions. Just before he died as well, Sultan Amhoud II scolded Crown Prince Noi in front of the Imperial Court in his throne room. For those few years, Prince Thumim lived far from the public eye but some level of psychopathpsychopathy was detected as he enjoyed playing excessively cruel and painful pranks on people and he fought often. Knowing the pain he endured, his mother indulged him and he grew incredibly fond of her. He also became deeply devoted to his younger siblings and often protected them from bullies in school. Nevertheless, he became deeply religious as his mother filled the house with [[Paxism|Paxist]] prophets and other spiritual people in a bid to help him recover.

In 1995 when Thumim was 17, Crown Prince Noi was crowned Sultan-King [[Namdun III]] of [[Packilvania]] and [[Drakkengard]]. Elevated to the role of Crown Prince, he had to reunite with his dad. After a discussion with his father, he disowned his father because he felt that a father-son relationship was untenable. His father consented to the arrangement and their relationship became a formal one. Prince Thumim continued studying through the [[Packilvanian Armed Forces]]. His strengths were in logistics and technical areas and many of his fellow soldiers deeply respected his work ethic and skill but failed to connect with him as he was often described as cold and distant.
