Revision as of 02:51, 22 January 2023 by StyxPrincess (talk | contribs) (Fixed clerical error)

Yufraan Abd'ildarra (Asahri: غفران ابدإلضرة, Born March 20 1998) is a Dawrani prophet, the current religious head of the religion, and the current Head of State of Aldaar. According to doctrine, they retraced the steps of the first Dawrani prophet Suleiman Abd'ildarra after their romantic partner Aida Nader was killed in an incident involving the security for the Republic of Mukarras during its control by Golden Oil. They became the first person in almost 200 years to have communed directly with Ildarra, and used their wisdom and oratory skills to incite a revolution which would succeed in removing Golden Oil from the Mukarras region in late 2022. During their time as Mutadiit, they have also become a global human rights advocate for many groups, including oppressed species, religious groups, and Urth's LGBTIAQ+ community.

Parents

Born in Mukarras in 1998, Yufraan's mother was killed by Golden Oil's security forces when they were 6 and they were raised by their father and another guardian. They did well in school and after graduating secondary school they began training to be a psychiatrist. After graduating, they began work at Mukarras in Mukarras General Hospital. They began dating a coworker, nurse practitioner Aida Nader. However, they had to hide their relationship due to Golden Oil's laws against same-sex relationships, and were eventually found out in 2021; Yufraan was brutally assaulted and Aida was killed by Mukarras's Golden Oil-run security force. After a several-month recovery, Yufraan made their way to the city of Hasa, which was nominally under government/Golden Oil control but which was mostly controlled by rebels. They spent several months with the rebels but grew frustrated over their lack of unity or direction, and in July of 2022 stole some supplies and set out on the Journey of Suleiman - a three-day trek from the center of Hasa to Jabal al-Bawdikaal, the holy mountain where the prophet Suleiman received a vision from the Dawrani god Ildarra, and was a journey that had not been taken in 218 years since the last Mutadiit. Upon reaching the peak of al-Bawdikaal, they received divine insight from Ildarra, and upon returning to Hasa were able to unite the revolutionaries behind them. Making their way to Mukarras, Yufraan's oratory skills were able to sway many to work against Golden Oil, and managed to completely stop the city - and indeed, most of the country. On November 22nd, 2022, they successfully caused Golden Oil enough losses for them to agree to stop government interference and make Yufraan the new Mutadiit of Aldaar and the first in 178 years, at which point they took the name Abd'ildarra, meaning "Servant of Ildarra" in Asahri.

As a prophet of the Dawra religion, Yufraan is considered by most practitioners to have a direct connection to Ildarra and the Spirit Plane. They are also believed to have been granted several boons, including great wisdom and knowledge, powerful oratory skills, and an immunity to the already minimal negative effects of peyote. Unlike some Mutadiits, Yufraan has shown themselves to be fairly resistant to the idea of conversion, instead preferring to maintain a secular approach to governance despite being a theocrat. During their reign, they brought back the Three Houses and the Aldaari Castes, systems that had been in place during the First Divine Republic, as well as repealing many laws made to suppress the culture of and dissent from the Aldaari people, including laws banning Dawrani religious rituals and banning large gatherings. Yufraan has also shown to be extremely receptive to the democratic aspects of governance, having taken advice from their three main advisors and encouraging the formation of modern political parties in the Three Houses.

Early Life (1998-2014)

Childhood

Yufraan Abd'ildarra was assigned female at birth and given the name Nadia Faruuk. They were born to Rashaad Faruuk, a carpenter in Mukarras and Sa'adah Isaawi Faruuk, a local schoolteacher on March 20, 1998. Their birth, along with one or two others, was considered extremely auspicious as it happened on the first day of Alnahda, the Aldaari New Year representing growth and rebirth. When they were six, their mother Sa'adah was brutally murdered by security hired by Golden Oil after she had participated in a protest against the corporatocracy. Afterwards, Omar Naciri - a friend and coworker to Sa'adah - would help raise them. They came out as Agender in the 7th grade, picking the historical unisex name Yufraan, the same first name as Yufraan Nuur'ildarra, the second Mutadiit of the First Aldaari Republic. While their father Rashaad and guardian Omar both readily accepted them, Golden Oil's policies of cultural suppression included suppression of gender identities differing from assigned sex at birth, as an integral part of Aldaar's culture is about accepting change. As such, Yufraan was unable to legally get their name changed or receive any medical support.
