''HDSkipper'', also known by his birth name ''Sayyid'' is the leader of [[Noctı Interflumin]], the Northernmost town of Lydoneia.

Sayyid is a male with green eyes, and a slim, tall body shape. He has an olive like skin tone reminiscent of a Kogongi person, and has brown hair. His most common attire include a red coat with a dark grey undershirt, black boots and gloves, grey pants and a belt. He also usually has a scabbard that holds the [[Sabre of Işdar|Sabre of Iskandar]].

Sayyid was born 25 years ago into the royal family of the city of Nehir Arasında (Modern day [[Noctı Interflumin]]). He was born into a royal lifestyle with his father, Neyf being the crowned prince of Nehir Arasında. He had grown up lavishly, in the cities royal palace. He recieved an education from a young age at the town's University, [[University of Iskandar]], and learned history, languages (Common and Kogongi). From his father, he learned of military tactics and swordfighting. He had a younger sister by the name of [[Beyza]], who had also learned many of the things that he had. When he was 22, he had been put in a military service for the principalities guard, so he could learn how to lead soldiers. He had also done a number of religious duties and festivals, most similar to that of [[The Kogongi People|Kogongi]].

When he was approximately 22 years old, his hometown of [[Noctı Interflumin]] came under attack by Icesteelan forces. The town was quickly overrun, and his father was killed in the action via arrow to the head. With all the town being lost and under the threat of capture, he leapt on his horse, and retreated into the wilderness. He spent three years in the Kogongi wilderness, travelling across the continent, however avoiding Icesteel. He learnt a lot about the continents nature and culture. He learned how to hunt and make the most of his resources. Sayyid also had many close calls in Icesteelan territory and spent many days and nights without a shelter to sleep in, often in the extreme cold. His main home would change every night, however, it would usually be under a tree or inside a cave.

He eventually came across a person by the name of Estebandit, and quickly befriended them. He learned of [[The Southern Union]], and decided to join them, and settle back in his old home to see if he was able to retake it.

As he settled in his old home, he was almost immediately forced to make a decision for the future of him and his home. Because his town was located on the border of the [[Southern Union]] and [[Icesteel]] he had to choose as to which country he wanted to join. He found the leadership of the Southern Union more peaceful the those of Icesteel, who had just been through a war and thus decided to join the Southern Union. After this, he joined the Union's HOR until a disagreement between the towns and the central government resulted in a peaceful coup (See:[[Dissolution of The Southern Union|The Dissolution of the Southern Union]]) and a new Republic became the main governing body of his country.

After he joined the Southern Union, he was admitted into a national assembly where the Emperor could post votes about things he was not sure of, however, on the 15th of July, Sayyid and Estebandit, another governer, voted against what Emperor Crab wanted in the assembly. Crab proceeded to change the rules needed to be able to vote in the national assembly, which stripped both governors of their voting rights. Two days later, the towns of [[Haven]] and [[Hanau]] launched a coup to replace the Imperial Government. The coup was successful and had support by both Sayyid and [[Noctı Interflumin]]. It resulted in an interim government which lasted about a week and a half before the [[Republic Of Lydoneia]] was proclaimed.

After Sayyid returned back to Iskandar without Beyza with him, he had thought she had died during the fighting. However, months later, she came back to Iskandar following a news article being caught in her path. They rejoiced at the aspect that they were both alive, however mourned for the fact that their Father and Mother were dead. Shortly following her arrival, [[Beyza]] was crowned Princess of [[Noctı Interflumin]] and put second in charge of the city. She oversaw construction of a new part of the city, and a harbor for better transportation and trade.

On September 1st, Reynold of Encavia was attacked by bandits and sook to get reparations. He demanded that $10,000 be given as compensation for the attack, however, the bandits refused. Seeing this, he called upon a coalition to attack the bandit camp known as "Errane" and the siege was set for the next day. The siege was long and unopposed, except for the Phantoms that occasionally came and harassed them at night. Nukekiller, the bandit leader, attempted to escape via underground network of tunnels however Sayyid and [[Rynnth]] were waiting and slew him. After about 3 days, Errane fell.

The Acquendavian Empire claimed all of Prospit for themselves on September 7th, 2021. Whilst technically only Elyria, Acquendavia, and the small Prospitian states were at war, the POR (Prospit Organized Resistance) gathered a lot of support from the international community, including the ROL. Sayyid assisted in the successful defense of Dalleton and was even on the counterattack, besieging and capturing Savage Crow along with many other Lydoneian Republican Guards and supporters from other nations like [[Taffasan]] and [[Lethos]]. After [[Acquendavia]]'s armies had been defeated, [[Lothridge]] lay open to siege, after facing this prospect, [[Grandpa boob|Emporer Boob]] decided to sue for peace. An armistice was in effect, however, a peace treaty agreement would not be made until about a week later.

The Elyrian Civil War quickly ensued during the Prospitian Resistance Wars and [[Aurelius]] gathered his forces to support Emporer Sherman of Elyria. They layed siege to Savage Crow for the second time in the war (Although it wasn't the second time total) with a number of Lydoneian Assembly members and Republican Guard and sucessfully lay ruin to the fortress. It would be the last time that Savage Crow had any political significance outside of starting a little bit of drama. The fortress was looted by the victors, who found themselves with a great amount of netherite and enchanted books. After this, the Siege of Peachfield begun, with Sayyid assigned to defend the city. After some skirmishes with [[Keyral and Co|Keyral]] and [[Yoosanghoon]] and others, they sucessfully repulsed the siege. [[Yoosanghoon]] was heavily wounded in the battle and thought to be dead.

Following the two battles, Sayyid say Yoosanghoon's body washed up ashore near his waters in [[Noctı Interflumin]]. He was quickly captured and sent to the cities war prison, where he was kept for a few days. After discussion, he was taken to [[Haven]] prison and was tried for his crimes against both Elyria and Lydoneia.

After the Elyrian Civil War, the National Assembly of the ROL wanted to have a more Isolationist approach to diplomacy, including Sayyid. This led to [[Aurelius]] declaring independence from Elyria after the formation of [[Stahlfaust-Elyria]]. Most of the national assembly supported this decision and it led to no Elyrian reaction. After this, the country began a large scale expansion of the capital city of Haven, and it ultimately led to what some may call a "Golden Age" for the Republic, with culture, arts, architecture reached an all-time high. The [[Havenian Pantheon]] was also revived, which brought religion back to the country, and Sayyid was a big patron of the religion, and it even mixed in [[Noctı Interflumin]] with the native Kogongi-like culture. This caused a large blend in culture and led to more cultural revolution. This is also the time when tycoon [[John McNug]] began making his fortune, and became an icon for the wealth of Lydoneia.

Shortly after the battle of Savage Crow, Sayyid saw Nefes (Havenian Goddess of the Storms and Seasons) appear to him as he strolled through [[Noctı Interflumin]]. She directed him to a marble tower just outside Savage Crow where he would fight a beast that displeased the Gods. He went to the marble tower and fought the beast. According to legend, he nearly died three times and was saved by Nefes before he was able to slay the beast. In exchange, Nefes gifted him a 'charm', which he could wear around his neck or wrist which contains Nefes' spirit on it, so he could have her blessing at all times.

Over his lifetime, Sayyid wrote many books. Most of these books were religious text holding prayer or historical records and journals about his life and the world's events. His most known work is his record about his meeting with Nefes, the Goddess of the wind and of the storms in which he defeats a beast and gets Nefes' blessing. He also wrote many prayers, songs, and hymns in his "Lihilır Hymnorum" (Book of Hymns) to the [[Havenian Pantheon|Havenian Gods and Goddess's]].

The Sabre of Işdar is a Netherite Sabre, constructed approximately 700 years ago. It was used to defend the town ever since in multiple battles and wars. The people of [[Noctı Interflumin]] treat it more like a crown then a weapon, as it is used as a symbol of the current prince of [[Noctı Interflumin]] rather than any Jewel or Crown. It was intense meaning in the city, being considered sacred. Whenever the Prince of [[Noctı Interflumin]] dies, the first thing to do is secure access to the weapon and give it to a trusted family member or friend who is unfit to rule like an Aunt/Uncle or Mother (So they don't try to steal the reign). It is then given to the closest and eldest relative (Son/Daughter, or whoever they name heir). After that they are then pronounced Prince/Princess of [[Noctı Interflumin]].

Sayyid is a believer in the [[Havenian Pantheon]] with a little bit of aspects of Kogongi culture. He is a lover of nature, and finds ways to grow crops such as Azalea in his town. He has read [[Vasya]]'s teachings and participates in many Kogongi rituals, and eats a primarily plant based diet with some meat sometimes. He participates in meditations, and has few Kogongi spiritual tattoos which are visible under his thick clothing. Though he worships all the Gods in the pantheon, he primarily provides his sacrifices and prayer to Nefes, Goddess of the Clouds and of the seasons.
