Tobuck is a city more than it is a state, a tiny piece of territory taken away from the Zarantian tribes by the Storm King during his reign of terror. Gun runners, opportunists and the warlords on their payroll have taken over the scrap of land in his absence, making the city and its surroundings a haven for the most deplorable of creatures. It is a prize seemingly open for the taking as much as it is a place of opportunity all on its own; that is, so long as whoever takes control can keep the young nation alive...

Lore

Early History, Storm King's Invasion

The bustling port city of Tobuck is an ancient place that has changed hooves many times over the centuries. It was first built by the Flag of Maregypt Maregyptians in ancient times and later fell under the hooves of the Flag of Kingdom of Warzena Warzenan monarchy which failed to fully suppress or integrate the region. After fruitful negotiations with the Flag of Zarantia Imazeeb tribes approximately half a century ago, Tobuck and the surrounding lands were liberated and integrated into the new tribal confederation of Flag of Zarantia Zarantia proper for the purposes of modernising the otherwise tribal society. Their best laid plans were cut short with the rise of the Storm King and his war across Zebrica. Tobuck was occupied with little resistance and for the purpose of using it as a supply hub for the yeti's invasion of Flag of Equestria Equestria, until his reign abruptly ended with a premature death at sea.

Pea Shooter's Arrival

Now Tobuck is a state and a city, but not a nation. It is a land filled with all manner of cultures, races, languages and every denomination of society from the richest to the poorest of creatures. What national identity there could have been as a core part of Flag of Zarantia Zarantia was largely shattered when the Storm King swept across Zebrica. A relatively popular movement to re-join the tribes plagues the current administration, but the top brass will not be deterred so easily. Pea Shooter, a born Flag of Stalliongrad Severyanian brought up in Flag of Equestria Equestria, has plans involving the Storm King's weapon stockpiles that were originally to be used for the invasion of his homeland; his one goal is to make a fortune selling them before returning home a far richer pony. Once he departs, successful or otherwise, the Flag of Zarantia Zarantians will try to take over Tobuck once more as stipulated in his deal with them; but nopony else knows that just yet. At his side is Vasile Cel Tradat, a griffon hailing from far away Flag of Kingdom of Brodfeld Prywhen who is as intelligent and capable as he is skilled in slimy business and maintaining his personal power base. His goals extend far beyond Pea Shooter's, having no intention of leaving in the near or far future; he simply has to wait for his boss to leave, or 'help' whoever takes over in his stead.

Present Day - The Blank State

In addition to his patient aide the informal military in Tobuck is composed of three warlords who, should they discover Pea Shooter's plan, will be none too pleased with his machinations. Walnut Drive, Alesia Snezhnaya, and Baragzen all have their own ideals for Tobuck; but they will need to secure their own power before they move on to greater things.

Who will write upon the blank slate that is Tobuck?

Geography

Situated between Chiropterra, Warzena, Zarantia and the Green Bay lies the small Republic of Tobuck. Most of its land is desert, although plains can be found along the coast. Tobuck can be divided into two parts, the mainland which houses the capital and namesake of the republic. The other part is the island of Manerba situated between the city of Tobuck and Chiropterra.

When the Storm King invaded us with his army, we managed to avoid his wrath with either humble tribute, clever diplomacy, cunning trickery or by other means. We gave away all of our valuables and artifacts and in return the Storm King was content leaving us alone for the most part, only sacking and destroying a few towns. Afterwards we became a tributary until he eventually perished. Some of our citizens grumble that we should've fought back against the warlord, but at least our country remains mostly intact.

Tobuck! A free, modern and sovereign republic! The only issue is that no Tobuckian actually wanted one. Or rather, the few who did want one certainly didn't want some gun runner to run it. In a land that happily thrived under a monarchy, the announcement of the republic landed like a cannonball shot with not enough gunpowder: making a big "thud" in the mud.

In the end, nopony was really fooled by the proclamation of the republic, even the Hippogriffian and Maregyptian ambassadors who were still happy to give lip service to the idea that Chiropterra, Warzena and Zarantia ought to think twice about moving in. But bits help smooth things over and a fake republic has a way of streamlining government decision.

When Tobuck proclaimed its independence, it had no army, just mercenaries, a lot of guns and some bits. With their charm, Pea Shooter and Vasile cel Tradat managed to convinced a few promising adventurer and costly friends to set up their own forces. Each was given a provincial governorate to make their job of defending the country easier and while it did provide an effective defending forces, there might be some issues in relying on warlords.

A former Warzenan province, Tobuck soured on its historical master for many a reason. And so, when the Queen of the Desert came and liberated them, they embraced her as their saviour. It proved a successful choice as the Zarantians wished for a richer region to use as their centre of power. The Storm King brought an end to the promising future of the Kingdom of Zarantia and Tobuck had its fate decided for it by a clique of 'innovative businesscreatures', as they call themselves. In the end, it's not hard to understand why the merchants and citizens of Tobuck have a nostalgia for the Zebra Queen of the east; and should Mekiouzza come for them, they will help her.

Born: 17th of November 962 in Petershoof

Biography: When Pea Shooter was just a foal, one could hardly picture the cheerful little one to become a gun runner. With a loving family, the loveliest of childhood crush turned happy wife and good prospect as a shipping merchant between Petershoof and Skyfall. But still, even with all of that, little Pea Shooter was bored.

It could have all ended with a simple middle-aged pony finding a hobby or drinking the occasional excessive cider but then came the Stalliongrad Revolution. His family's business was ruined but Pea Shooter saw an opportunity. With the help of a shady friend, he bought some guns from a Fezeran smuggler and travelled back home, selling them to a communist volunteer group. And also one Severyanian counter-revolutionary he had met in a bar. He made good bit on those deals and decided to make it his career. He travelled to Haukland, making some deals there before finding his way south, wherever there were bits and a need for gunpowder.

In 1005, he made his way to Zebrica, looking to make bank on that insane Yeti whilst he was still on a roll. He failed as the Storm King died and his conquest spree ended the following year. But! He was in Tobuck with some friends and it just so happened that one of those friends had friends guarding the supply depots in the region. And with half of Zebrica in turmoil, Pea Shooter exactly knew where to find his clientele.

With the help of Vasil cel Tradat, he helped bring about the independence of Tobuck, the birth of harmonic republicanism in the region, found some pony to become its face while he became foreign affairs minister. As long as there was guns to sell in Tobuck, there would be business to do there for any good gun-runner.

And Pea Shooter is more than a good one.

Born: 10th of January 974 in Tobuck

Biography: Rose Rain is quite dissimilar from most Tobuckians in that she never longed for the old days of the Zarantian administration. To her it was little more than another people taking advantage of their city and her home, prosperity or otherwise. It was her dream, to create a fully independent and fully democratic republic; alongside her good friend Giggle Juice.

After the rule of the storm king, she came ever-so close to achieving that goal; but when Pea Shooter and Vasile entered the fray it all came crashing down. The republic was created, but her friend was turned into a drunkard and subsequently a president only as competent as those that had to clean up after him. The warlords utterly crushed the Zarantians when they first attempted an invasion, but they also made sure that she and the Harmonist Front never came into power. The less that was said about Vasile creating a personal economic fiefdom in the background the better.

She had tried so hard to make it all work out the first time and had failed, but never gave up. Every creature of import in Tobuckian politics was a foreigner, but her dream was inclusive. The warlords attempted to take power for themselves, but they weren't all bad.

All she could do was keep pushing in the right places, making friends with the right people and doing her best to finally see that dream realised. Eventually the people would stand with her.

Born: 31st of December 957 in White Flower

Biography: Born in a family of imperial loyalists, Vasile grew up in the troubled times that followed the prince of Brodfeld's attempt at unifying the region of Prywhen. While his parents were aghast at the constant turmoil of the region, Vasile quickly accustomed himself in it.

Pushed into civil service, the young griffon became a firefighter. Clever and lacking in morals, Vasile organised a small arson ring to start fire in wealthy households to then steal as he put out the fires. He quickly left the job before he got caught. After a few stints in smuggling, he ended up landing the job that would change his life: sales representative of a burgeoning weapons factory. Uninterested in selling hunting weapons or handguns to local police forces, he cleverly used his job to funnel orders to all who would need them and create more demand: communists, criminals, minotaur or Gryphussian rebels. After a few years of spectacular success, Brodfeldian justice finally closed in. The dumbfounded company leadership was left to stand trial while their best sales representative was nowhere to be found.

Vasile traveled, doing some smuggling work, for a few years until he fatefully met Pea Shooter during a gun deal in Sicameon. Both double-crossed by some local pirates, they joined together and from there, a partnership blossomed.

Eventually, the pair would end up in Tobuck where Vasile diligently helped with the creation of the Republic of Tobuck. However, he was not satisfied with simply looting the place. He saw opportunities. Weaving contacts with the local wealthy elites, Vasile foresaw a future where Tobuck could become a true moneymaker where he wouldn't just be a criminal but a respectable member of society. Sadly, Pea Shooter didn't see it that way but why let a partner stand in the way of a good thing?

Born: 29th of May 980 in Firstport

Biography: There are few that have the guts to disobey orders in Chiropterra and even fewer live to tell the tale, but there is one thestral that has managed both. Wallnut Drive has always been both a famous and infamous individual, the former amongst his large circle of friends and the latter amongst his equally large group of enemies. Though he is incredibly personable and a delight to be around in general, his escape from Chiropterra during his breif stint in service with the legionnaires has left a particularly large target on his back. If the legions got their hooves on him now, he'd be on the chopping block.

Lucky for "the tricky thestral" that he then he has many friends that are willing to harbour and protect him, much like Pea Shooter who was more then happy to hire a Warlord with a distaste for one of the biggest security threats to his operation. His characteristic smile and capacity to converse even in matters far beyond his intellectual capacity makes him a truly lovable pony, despite his typically accidental aloofness.

He's well known for his rousing speeches, capacity to command, his love of drink and partying and his hatred of Chriropterra, something that drives him to do great things to this very day. A common joke amongst his ranks is that the only thing their general can't do is talk to mares which, though none of them seen him try, is entirely accurate.

Though he may be a wanted criminal just across the border, Wallnut Drive is never one to shy away from a fight; nor is he one to pass up an opportunity to party, even at the most inconvienent of times. He is most of all a rebel with a big heart.

Born: 8th of July 975 in Zammar

Biography: Baragzen is an exiled noble hailing originally from Warzena and now residing in Tobuck with dreams of one day returning to his home country. Much of his early life was spent in courtly education and becoming accustomed to his role as the heir to the head of the Leopard dynasty Waseem, his father. Most seemed to think that the family had been kept away from rule for so long that they were no longer relevant and Waseem seemingly agreed.

As he grew older, the young zebra began to slowly drift away from his family's dynastic policy of simple acceptance and instead started preparing for his family's 'inevitable' return to power. When his father passed, he became head of the family to little opposition or applause; his mother, Raaniya, attempted to persuade him to abandon his dreams of ascending the throne which resulted in a heated falling out. With no support even within his own immediate family, he ran away with a large part of the family coffers.

This would land him - and the significant amount of wealth he managed to smuggle out - in Tobuck which was a hotbed of instability and conflict during and following the rule of the Storm King. There he would raise a small private army, one which grew rapidly as his renown and skill became widely known amongst mercenary circles. His success came partly from a natural talent which was being explored at the time of his exile in a military academy, but it was additionally thanks to the absolute loyalty that he commanded in his soldiers. He treated them with respect and dignity, even going so far as to enter the fray himself when his force was much smaller and commanding from the field.

During the dissolution of the Storm King's realm and the establishment of Tobuck, Pea Shooter hired him in essence to ensure that he couldn't cause any trouble. Now Baragzen thrives as a warlord, commanding an irregular but disciplined force. He still hopes to return to Warzena and reclaim his birthright, but only time and a little luck will tell if he can achieve that dream.

Born: 18th of November 997 in Miharzehir

Biography: Matanzal was born to a low noble family from Miharzehir after her mother Lyna became a close companion of Baragzen in the opening months of his exile. Once her father began to actually live up to his vow to reclaim the kingdom, it was only a matter of time until the mare and her filly were asked to move somewhere much nicer at the behest of Baragzen.

Following the favouritism they received, it was only natural that the slowly growing group of friends began to see Matanzal as a potential heir to the throne; should her father successfully reclaim it. With this and her mother's intellect it quickly became obvious that she would be a strong contender, alongside her half brother Zaalhanni.

Despite her rather busy life and the general absence of her father, the little foal has grown up to become a very capable filly. Her grades at school were of course stellar and, to nobody's surprise, Lyna's charisma has already rubbed off on her. Though Matanzal is not quite as academically driven as her friendly rival, she has nevertheless made many new friends both of her age and those much older than her in the noble circles of the nation.

Biography: Zaalhanni's origins are a mystery to most, but only because Baragzen would prefer the nation not to know that he eloped with a commoner in Tobuck. His mother is a regular old earth pony by the name of Palm Blossom, a resident of one of the poorer districts in the city of Tobuck. It's quite likely that the foal was accidental, but that never stopped his mother from treating him with the most care and love she could muster.

Though his childhood was marred rather significantly by the disdain that the true nobility had for him, the colt's experiences at a mixed private school were largely very positive. He had not the charisma of his half sister Matanzal, but did have a personability and honesty that many appreciated as his friends. Not only that, but his mother's efforts in speaking out against the decadence of the nobility garnered her and her foal an increasingly large base of support.

His time at the military academies that his father constructed was also rather fruitful, despite his command being less vigorous and more measured than that of his half sister. He demonstrated incredible organisational talent and, much to the joy of his long-time mentor Vasile, even garnered a reputation for being a mastermind of sorts. If you ran into a perfectly planned surprise birthday party - or the enemy fell into an ingenious trap - it was almost always set up by Zaalhanni.

Born: 21st of December 969 in Zhelenovsk

Biography: Alesia Snezhnaya's path through life is one that she has carved herself. Her parents and family, though oppossed to her activities outside Equus, encouraged her headstrong and authorative nature in the hopes that she would rise through the ranks of the native nobility; but such dreams were cut short by the civil war. From her early days serving in the Royal Guard and fighting Steel Stallion during the 995 revolution to her service as a mercenary and fighting against the Storm King in Colthage; war and leadership have been entrenched as essential components of her lifestyle.

She has fought always for the same goal, to free Severyana from socialist hooves. Even as a Zebrican warlord and mercenary, the vast majority of her personally accumalated funds return home to her family or to private accounts with which she hopes to one day fund a counter revolution in her homeland.

Though strongly anti-communist and a staunch monarchist, she is equally oppossed to decadent and exploitative nobility. In particular, she believes that Celestia betrayed her people in signing an armistace with the communist forces. In Alesia's mind all odds were against Severyana; but still she wishes to see it restored to its former glory. She is nothing if not dedicated and determined in the extreme.

Born: 21st of December 969 in Zhelenovsk

Biography: Alesia Snezhnaya's path through life is one that she has carved herself. Her parents and family, though opposed to her activities outside of Equus, encouraged her headstrong and authoritative nature in the hopes that she would rise through the ranks of the native nobility; but such dreams were cut short by the civil war. From her early days serving in the Royal Guard and fighting against Steel Stallion during the 995 revolution to her service as a mercenary and fighting against the Storm King in Colthage; war and leadership have been entrenched as essential components of her lifestyle.

She has fought always for the same goal, to free Severyana from socialist hooves. Even as a Zebrican warlord and mercenary, the vast majority of her personally accumulated funds return home to her family or to private accounts with which she hopes to one day fund a counter revolution in her homeland.

Though strongly anti-communist and a staunch monarchist she is equally opposed to decadent and exploitative nobility, In particular, she believes that Celestia betrayed her people in signing an armistice with the communist forces. In Alesia's mind all odds were against Severyana; but still she wishes to see it restored to its former glory. She is nothing if not dedicated and determined in the extreme.

Sometimes when ponies are getting angry, what you need is a face to go confront them, the kind of pony who are so damn charming that you forgot that you wanted to punch them. In Tobuck, that's Giggle Juice, the president of the republic and the funniest drinking buddy Pea Shooter ever met. Despite holding no discernable political view or ambition of his own, he just helps smooth things over. He's just that nice! He gives everypony a good time and you kind of forget what you were mad about. The only issue here is that the loveable face really does enjoy a good drink. Or three. At breakfast.

Born: 25th of June 792 in a cave

Biography: Historically there have always been two things that successfully coax dragons from their caves: the promise of immense power or the draw of incredible wealth. Though desires for these things are most commonly exhibited in younger beasts who are yet to establish themselves, on occasion it will entice much older creatures to retire their positions of responsibility in search of personal glory. It was this very phenomenon that brought Myrga to Tobuck.

Following a brief stint as a hatchery guard, a station notorious amongst dragons for the boredom it begets, the stench of overseas blood and money was nothing less than intoxicating. The death of the Storm King was an unspoken cue to visit, drawing the dragon overseas to the riches of the weapons trade and the conflicts that flared up as the remnant yeti forces were gradually ousted.

Though initially scorned as a monster by contemporary generals, it soon became clear that he was curiously talented in complex matters of strategy despite his size and temperament. To the surprise of many, he has become better known for his protective nature and warding roar rather than his wartime brutality and occasionally overwhelming bloodlust.

Even now, as a leader, he always has an excuse to dive personally into the fray. Luckily for us he's easy to keep on side, especially if we can provide battles to fight and plenty of goodies for his hoard. Nopony can deny the morale boost a dragon provides!

Born: 8th of July 975 in Zammar

Biography: Baragzen is an exiled noble hailing originally from Warzena and now residing in Tobuck with dreams of one day returning to his home country. Much of his early life was spent in courtly education and becoming accustomed to his role as the heir to the head of the Leopard dynasty Waseem, his father. Most seemed to think that the family had been kept away from rule for so long that they were no longer relevant and Waseem seemingly agreed.

As he grew older, the young zebra began to slowly drift away from his family's dynastic policy of simple acceptance and instead started preparing for his family's 'inevitable' return to power. When his father passed, he became head of the family to little opposition or applause; his mother, Raaniya, attempted to persuade him to abandon his dreams of ascending the throne which resulted in a heated falling out. With no support even within his own immediate family, he ran away with a large part of the family coffers.

This would land him - and the significant amount of wealth he managed to smuggle out - in Tobuck which was a hotbed of instability and conflict during and following the rule of the Storm King. There he would raise a small private army, one which grew rapidly as his renown and skill became widely known amongst mercenary circles. His success came partly from a natural talent which was being explored at the time of his exile in a military academy, but it was additionally thanks to the absolute loyalty that he commanded in his soldiers. He treated them with respect and dignity, even going so far as to enter the fray himself when his force was much smaller and commanding from the field.

During the dissolution of the Storm King's realm and the establishment of Tobuck, Pea Shooter hired him in essence to ensure that he couldn't cause any trouble. Now Baragzen thrives as a warlord, commanding an irregular but disciplined force. He still hopes to return to Warzena and reclaim his birthright, but only time and a little luck will tell if he can achieve that dream.

Born: 14th of July 978 in Sunset

Biography: A rough-and-tumble New Marelander through and through, Prairie Fire was born the only foal of a poor dockworker and became a known troublemaker in her youth. After running off with a gang of bushrangers in her teens she was caught and arrested for banditry; yet neither a stay in prison nor a short-lived marriage could convince her to settle down and by age twenty-three she was once again a wanted mare.

Fleeing the country to evade justice, she found herself wandering Griffonia alone. As luck would have it her experience in bushcraft and skill with a rifle made her valuable as a hired gun, and she soon found that mercenary work paid far better than straight-up robbery. The many bandits, revolutionaries, and malcontents among the griffons made for easy employment, and fighting alongside them quickly gained her money, fame, and most importantly, respect.

Armed with years of experience in guerrilla warfare and a strong distrust of authority, Prairie recently arrived in Tobuck in search of further battles to fight. Her timing is no coincidence: to her, Pea’s republic is a place of opportunity - a place where common ponies can become legends overnight - and she fully intends to get in on the action.

Born: 29th of May 980 in Firstport

Biography: There are few that have the guts to disobey orders in Chiropterra and even fewer that live to tell the tale, but there is one thestral that has managed both. Wallnut Drive has always been both a famous and infamous individual, the former amongst his large circle of friends and the latter amongst his equally large group of enemies. Though he is incredibly personable and a delight to be around in general, his escape from Chiropterra during his brief stint in service with the legionnaires has left a particularly large target on his back. If the legions got their hooves on him now, he'd be on the chopping block.

Lucky for 'the tricky thestral' then that he has many friends that are willing to harbour and protect him, like Pea Shooter who was more than happy to hire a warlord with a distaste for one of the biggest security threats to his operation. His characteristic smile and capacity to converse even in matters far beyond his intellectual capacity make him a truly loveable pony, despite his typically accidental aloofness.

He's well known for his rousing speeches, capacity to command, his love of drink and partying and his hatred of Chiropterra, something that drives him to do great things to this very day. A common joke amongst his ranks is that the only thing their general can't do is talk to mares which, though none of them have seen him try, is entirely accurate.

Though he may be a wanted criminal just across the border, Wallnut Drive is never one to shy away from a fight; nor is he one to pass up an opportunity to party, even at the most inconvenient of times. He is most of all a rebel with a big heart.

Born: 30th of September 973 in Applelaide

Biography: Clam Chowder is, like almost all mercenaries in Tobuck, a foreigner. Born in far away New Mareland, she enlisted in the navy there as soon as her age permitted it but was repeatedly turned down for promotions thanks to her difficult relationship with whichever superior was unlucky enough to have her on board. Eventually her attitude would get her discharged which prompted her to steal a ship, a story she refuses to give details on, and sail off to find a navy in which her skill would be appreciated and where discipline was more of a suggestion.

Despite initially seeing her arrival in Tobuck as an opportunity to make a name for herself, the mare has mellowed significantly over the years. Needless to say that she has also become a better and significantly more professional commander as a result, but she still dreams of commanding a larger flotilla than the pitiful number of ships in the Tobuckian fleet. She may yet get her wish.
