Jovlane Buumilinnast

"Alright, just to clear the air. Yes. I am the Uhik. And yeah, it's pretty fucking awesome. So, uh, I left Udu Serv because there wasn't any challenge left for me there. It was just filled to the brim with nõrgad. I felt like if I stayed, I will never truly reach my greatest heights. So I left on my own accord, took the next military airship from Kemonov to Stalowy Duch, to eventually end up where the real challenges were laid. The Arenian Wasteland. That's where fucking legends are made. It's where the sun wants to cook you in the summer, and the cold turns you into a beef popsicle in the winter. If that wasn't good enough, the Nomads here will actually try and fight you and put everything they got in taking your shit if it was valuable enough. The place I landed specifically was at the Cape of Hoinito, where the Goyo Clan and the Blood Vipers (gross weirdos) were fighting each other for scraps in the ruins of Hoinito City. The perfect place to flex my extremely deadly skills. The people who lived in a small town in the ruins also loved me, they couldn't go a day without my expert assistance. Eventually, I met up with a bunch of other hardcore badasses and we made our own sort of war band/mercenary group. That way, we could travel through the arid hills and deserts making big booms along the way. Ultimately, we wanted to meet this Future Stranger radio guy and that lead us from one thing to another, where we eventually killed like a General of some army as a favor to the Coalition the Republic and Fed set up. Oh, and we stole her golden toilets. Dumbass literally stocked all their bathrooms with it."

Physical Description

Jovlane Buumilinnast ^{(yove-LAN-eh BOO-me-lean-nast)} or Jov, as his comrades refer to him, is a stock height Randish minotaur of about 5'6" making him two inches shorter than the average height for most Randish people living in Kuria. To compensate, his resilience and stamina is well above average and his strength was well respected within the Kurian Gladiatorial League. His coat of fur is a light brown, darkening at the top of his head and has a tendency to curl at the ends. After a confrontation with a Blood Viper warrior, Jov now also has a large scar across his chest from a improvised greatsword made from a AR-40 Thopter rotor blade. Jov's face is somewhat unassuming, and his horns relatively left undamaged despite being used as a weapon to ram into people. He also walks with a confidence that may spark as much awe as bewilderment and offense, as there is no exceptional case for Jov to stop being confident and presenting himself as such. This attitude also reflects his conversational behavior as well, often standing tall, even when there's a chair available during a long conversation.

What may be concerning to Scholars of Cicloisim and devout followers of the religion is that, rather than going through the typical channels in order to have the spirits of the dead lend their power to someone who can course through all of those voices or attract their attention in a positive light. Jov seems to simply believe in himself so powerfully, that it attracts attention from those passing on to assist him. The implications of this are still unknown, but he seems successful in using this to benefit him in combat giving him powers of the Paladin class, and has the trained resilience of the Barbarian class. For combat, his choice of gear is a basic set of M-12 Light Plate (Scale Mail) for his chest and legs with a red mushroom cloud painted on the back, and a warhammer where the head of the hammer is the head of the very solid and sturdy HB-11 Robot, and a colorful Poncho of Protection. The Poncho itself was unfortunate enough to be put on while the paint on the armor was drying, and now has an outline of a disfigured red mushroom cloud on the back that makes it seem as if Jov has just been shot. If this visual assault wasn't enough, Jov is adamant on keeping his jeans on backwards, insisting this is actually the correct way to wear them while wearing no shirt.

Childhood & Young Adulthood

Jovlane was abandoned as a child in the Servi Maakonna Haigla (Hospital), where his parents were under the impression that he wasn't going to survive, or at the very least, to grow to be the hunter they would have wanted. Growing up in an orphanage in the relatively lightly populated savannah town of Udu Serv, where mining, hunting and farming were the bulk of the professions, likely instilled the attitude colloquially known in Kuria as the "Jahimehed" attitude that is found in most Randish youth. It was only amplified by his distinct lack of height compared to other kids and his peers as an adult. With a lack of adult guidance in the orphanage, Jov's way of coping was overcompensation, needing to become stronger and faster than the other kids. As an adult, there was no better way to feed this need for vindication of personal strength than in Gladiatorial combat and wrestling.

Jov, like many Randish youths, didn't go to Secondary School due to lack of funds and interest but had a basic grade school education. Making the Kurian Gladiatorial League (KGL) his best and only option, and for a while it suited him nicely, starting as an assistant and sparing partner as a teenager, eventually graduating to a fighter in the Maski Sahvatus fights. For context, the KGL is a fighting league similar to the WWE, but also holds less common but more wildly popular lethal weapon fights which are referred to as Toeline Rusikas (Strong Fist) fights. Listening to KGL matches over the radio, and watching them in sports arenas is a popular past time across all of Kuria, so to get a position even in the Sahvatus fights is a worthy accomplishment. Jov was eventually scheduled to promote his debut fight on a popular radio show in Kemenov, called the Tarv Tund, where a high energy sports analyst named Tarvo would talk about developments in League sports, especially the KGL, for about an hour. In an act of unchecked bravado and stupidity, Jov broke into the radio station an hour and a half before that shows airtime, interrupting the Lai Vaino show, where the host and co-host, Vaino and Lai, talked extensively on water sports like rafting, that take part in the inland sea that Kemenov is adjacent to. Vaino, who was an obese Loxodon man at the time, was somehow wrestled out of the studio despite the extreme amount of weight Jov had to contend to. With Lai not standing a chance against him. Jov proceeded to then not just talk about the upcoming fight, but also insult fellow gladiators saying things like "...your time in the spotlight is up! You're NOTHING compared to me!" or "You may all be gladiators! But I AM the UHIK! And coming up on this match, everyone will witness me!" As confused listeners sat either at home or patronizing their favorite restaurants and cafes, most of which were outdoor, entranced by the chaotic rambling of the new voice on the radio, the audience were drew in closer as the security showed up to restore order to the station. Though they failed to subdue him initially, he was only stopped by the Federal Police who, from their perspective, had to now intervene into what seemed to have evolved from a prank into a hostage situation. Needless to say, this event drew in almost as many listeners as a KGL lethal fight final as it was a total of five minutes of wrestler shit talk, three minutes of the buildings security struggling with Jov and yelling at him from the adjacent room, to the last 16 seconds of him getting stunned by shock batons.

Adulthood to Present Day

After being arrested, KGL paid his bail, in which Jovlane promptly flees almost immediately. Using some connections he has with an airship pilot, and scrounging up as much funds as he could get, pays his way to fly to the newly captured Marivis Airbase, in the Cape of Hoinito. Rather than reflecting on this low point of his life, he saw it fit to instead double down, and stay in the radiated Arenian homeland. Jov spent just about three years doing odd jobs and going native, eventually moving into a bogate in the Hoinito ruins where he would meet other outcasts and warriors. They eventually were exiled from the bogate in Hoinito, necessitating them to form a traveling group to survive in the badlands while the Goyo Clan and Blood Vipers battled it out for territory, with the mutual interest in finding the Future Stranger. Eventually finding a radio relay station manned by a teenager who was able to give them a conversation with the enigmatic and prophetic radio host. This gave them a whole slew of new information, where they were offered to find him so that he could tell them more secrets he couldn't share on the radio waves. One thing lead to another, and the party, now known as Boom City a name drafted by Jov himself, got involved in the liberation of Rio Avan where they acted not supplementary to the Coalition leading the assault, but roped in as part of the spearhead through the promise of money and golden bathroom appliances. Likely due to the Future Stranger being aware of the chances of Boom City's success, they were given this opportunity to make sure the Military Govenor of Rio Avan was taken down. Not only were they a General of the CMP junta, but a General Olaru was a member of the CMP's Military Commitiee which is it's governing body. It was a harrowing fight, where they lost one of their companions Constantine, and nearly all of them suffered grave injuries but it also became Boom City's number one claim to fame. Touting this victory, Jov has developed more advanced ideas on his supposed perfection, claiming that he cannot be killed and is immortal. Likely thinking he will become another Saint, even though to become one he would have to eventually die. Now he is spelunking through the ruins of the old Imperial capital of Conión, on a lead to finding the Future Stranger to see what the extent of the enigmatic radio hosts powers truly are.
