Kayvan Shrike

Early existence
Kayvan spent almost a year in relative obscurity missing major wars until the disbandment of T.E.R.R.A. He then went on to join Atlantis following an invitation from Chickenzilla.

Atlantis
After joining Kayvan eventually became actively involved in helping Atlantis by taking up a job within the alliance. Firstly becoming a Nation Auditor before eventually joining the Ministry of Internal Affairs under the employ of Maddhatter. In October, after a successful start he would then become the Deputy MoIA where a successful partnership would be established. In January there would be a reform in acceptance policies after it emerged that there was a spy in Atlantis. This would make tensions worse between their then allies in the Ferocitas Compact which were already tenious.

Following encouragement Kayvan would run for Senate and despite it being his first campaign he would finish 4th in the race. Being a senator would prove not to be as he would move to replace Maddhatter as Minister of Internal Affairs following the resignation of Maddhatter from the post. Kayvan would hold onto this position for approximately 6 weeks before retiring due to committments beyond Planet Bob and burnout.

Dark times would soon follow Atlantis as there was an internal split within Government. Following the resignation of Xenn, Kayvan would choose to accept the invitation into Senate. There had been whisperings of factions and issues within government and the trial of Colpanic would serve to be the final straw. There were mass resignations from some of the top government including many who had earnt his respect. Despite considerations to follow suit Kayvan would choose to stay to try and keep Atlantis together. After spending a much needed sleep away from trying to hold the alliance together he would awake to find the alliance he had called home no more. Following impending threats of war the decision was made for Atlantis to disband.

There are many things left unknown from this period. There are many views but to this day despite having been in Government there are still many things left to be explained.

Viridian Entente
Kayvan would join VE as it seemed the best option and many considered friends would join following Atlantis's disbandment. After the strain of losing Atlantis and commitments beyond Bob, Kayvan would be inactive.

Inertia
After seeking refuge in MHA the former leaders whom had resigned from Atlantis would establish Inertia. This would prove to be a very dark time indeed as many thought the blame for Atlantis's demise rested on Inertia's shoulders. The Atlantis forums were still active for the community of Atlantis to still communicate. This move would lead to escalate matters with Inertia. Kayvan Shrike and Winstonopia were of the few who spoke out against action against Inertia but it became clear that they would not be heeded as Inertia were soon attacked until their disbandment. Kayvan and Win would choose not to be a part of it and would thus choose to be demasked from the forums and leave the former members to themselves.

Kayvan would choose to leave VE for a short period where he would accept recruitment into NoV. Kayvan would leave and return after feeling uncomfortable in the alliance and away from friends where upon he would return to VE.

Hyperion
Perhaps the biggest mistake in Kayvan's history. Kayvan sought to go back to the community that Atlantis once had and in so doing would become actively involved again on the Atlantis forums in reforming but under a different name and a different purpose. Following Lucas Perry's spying tensions between VE and those wanting to start Hyperion would erupt. Many claimed and probably still claim this was Atlantis 2.0 but having spent time in Hyperion both in government and as a regular member this would prove to be quite far from the truth. There was much difference here, there was a different community and the government was much different as well. Here Kayvan became a Consul until real life would beckon Kayvan again.

The War of the Coalition
Later on in Hyperion's brief history, Kayvan would win the race to become Sovereign of Hyperion after seeking to try to change the alliance for the better. However impending war would serve to change everyone's plans. Hyperion would be attacked for aiding a Chickenzilla re-roll by GGA and Valhalla despite from Kayvan's point of view having no knowledge of this transgression nor knowledge of Chickenzilla's status on Perma-ZI for GGA.

About a week into the war once Greenland republic and other allies had been dragged in Hyperion was soon granted peace. Kayvan despite being one of the three elected leaders of Hyperion would not be involved in these surrender discussions with no attempt being made to contact him nor any logs of these discussions being made available to this day. After disagreeing with this quick exit when allies were still under attack Kayvan would resign. He mistakenly stayed in the alliance to help comrades who had not been so fortunate but the war was over for him.

Kayvan saw problems with how the alliance was run and would run for the Director of Internal affairs but would fail by one vote. The one vote Kayvan had given to the winner instead of himself as he refused to vote for himself. The end of existence was soon near for Kayvan as real life would call and Planet Bob had been holding him back. He would help with rep payments and a healthy supply of technology to Kestral and Ivorybabe before the nation of Lycaeus was no more. There had been so much that Kayvan had gone through, from Atlantis until Hyperion and with many disagreements with decisions made and how the government was run, after two years in Cybernations the decision was made to move on.

To this day the nation of Lycaeus is no more.

Additional
This history turned out to be the best period for Kayvan but it has also proven to be the worst. There is no wish to return to former comrades nor is there any wish to return to any Government position again. Kayvan has found what he left to find and is now content and happy.
