Octavius Ryder

Octavius is an adopted Ryder and heir to most of the Ryder household's riches, power, and influence because of his upmost loyalty to the Ryders. Unfortunately, he probably will never be able to lead due to the fact he is not of blood relations with the Ryders.

Age 1-19 (Pre-RP)
Octavius was born in the Eastern Lands in the lowly populated sub-archipelago of The Islands That Once Were Turtles. He was originally born under the name Wu-Kin-Sun. His mother was most commonly referred to as "Moon" and his father took on the name of "Kyle Murdo" because of all the time he spent trading and exploring in the mainland.

At the age of 5, Wu-Kin-Sun's parents began to argue over how much Kyle spent away from his family. One night, Wu-King-Sun's father took him to his ship and sailed off to Asgarnia. Wu-Kin-Sun never saw his mother again. Once the two landed in Asgarnia, Wu-Kin-Sun was given the name Octavius Cupitor. Both he and his father resided in Burthorpe.

The Troll wars broke out 5 years later, causing Kyle to make his son into a soldier. He forced training on the young, 10 year old child, bringing him to his absolute limit.

Within 7 years, Octavius had been graded one of the best soldiers in his unit, and had gained the official title 'Doctor Cupitor' due to his extensive research in medical studies and battlefield medical assistance.

The next 2 years were full of promotions and commendations for Octavius, as he had done much for Burthorpe and it's struggle with the trolls. Though, Octavius never forgot his roots. He often snuck books past his faher that referred to Wushanko heritage and language.

Octavius' father began pushing him farther and farther as ther Troll Wars became more "quiet." He wished to see him become a knight... -Now into actual Role-play.-

Age 19 - 25
Octavius, forced by his father, joined the Knights of Saradomin, led by Jason Ryder. In the knightsm Octavius was the most subordinate and trustworthy knight out of all the others. During one mission, Octavius had to take out a cave full of Zarosians. Though the mission was successful, one of the soldiers in Octavius' squandron was took a hammer to the face and died. Jason, who saw as it as a failure, did not blame or give up hope on Octavius. In fact, he put him in control of the Ryder mansion. He was stationed with a co-worker who went by the name of Daniel. They had a mansion to themselves, but they were on active duty the entire time. After a month of stationary nothingness, the knights disbanded.

After the knights disbanded Octavius went to pack up and return to Burthorpe. However, Jason Ryder did not wish to see Octavius leave so soon. He was able to convince Octavius quite easily that he should stay with the Ryders. Octavius saw this as a perfect oppurtunity to use his skills and escape his father.

Though Octavius was still under the name Cupitor, Octavius was made into a commander of an elite army of Ryder forces, known as the "Praetorians." They were created alonside two other factions known as the "Rangers" and the "Shadow Guard." To this day, the Praetorians and the Shadow Guard still exist.

The Praetorians, most oftenly, we're to lead charges, go on dangerous tasks, and overall; to be the iron fist of the Ryders. They were on active duty for almost a year with nothing to do. Most of them returned home, but stayed in contact. Octavius lives a poor life at this time, often Inn-hopping and panhandling. At one point, he was called in only to be notified that Jason Ryder was dead.

After hearing this news, Octavius was put off duty and was told he probably would not be called on again. Octavius continued to live the bar-hopping ife after this for 7 months, often thinking about returning. Until one day, Octavius was called back. He met face to face with the recently revived, Jason Ryder. He was put in charge of the Praetorians once again. This time, they were more active.

Though Octavius barely got his feet wet in the battles with the second Ryder civil war and fighting the Growth soldiers, he oftened coordinated a lot of the war supplies, planning, and rationing. The civil was was over quickly.

Octavius began to gain Jason Ryder's trust within the next few months. Once they gained control of most of the Kharidian desert, Octavius was made Governor of Nardah. There, he met his partner in crime. A half-troll named Brutus. [Unfinished.]
