"Progress is what the Commonwealth needs to remain as a beacon of civilization."
- Aisling Duval

Aisling Duval (13-June-12195 to Sept-8-12228) is the Link52nd Prime Director of Nevertopia, leader of the Spring Court and a prolific civil rights activist. She is known as a kind-hearted Linkaltruist who consistently believes in giving everyone in her nation a chance to change and grow into better people over time. Regardless of how many people ridicule her dream, she’s determined to make a fiscal way of eliminating all Linkpoverty a reality. Despite her youth, the people’s princess (as she is sometimes known) is extremely popular with common Nevecians. She appears to be a shrewd politician, although many would argue that her advisors provide her with a veneer of acumen. She is young at only 29, and very visible in the media, regularly appearing on lightweight chat shows, but tends to avoid anything where she might have to face tough questions.

She is against the Linkslavery deeply rooted within the world of LinkAbeir-Toril, borrowing much of her policies from the Linkcivil rights movement in 1960s American history back on LinkEarth and founded a non-government charity named Unchain. She is known for her dislike of government corruption, partly due to the suspicious circumstances surrounding her mother's death from an Linkaneurysm caused by a Linknarcotics overdose shortly after her birth. Combined with her father's unfortunate legacy from a Linkhedonistic lifestyle, this has left Aisling with a passion for helping those whose lives have taken a turn for the worse. At heart Aisling is a Linkpopulist, taking many of her views from the public mood. She splits her personal time between managing her Linkcharity, and spending time with her Linkcomatose father in Achenar.

Prime Director Duval passed away in the opening act of the Thargoid offensive on Sept-8-12228 presumably during the Thargoid orbital strike on Parliament Hill.

Personal Life


Formative Years

Born out of Linkwedlock in Cubeo, Cemiess, Nevertopia, Aisling is the daughter of retired politician Harold Duval and his mistress, the deceased actress Imogen "Eccentrica" Gabrielini. She is the eldest out of Harold Duval's known children. As a child she excelled in her studies and was constantly placed in advanced classes, this would often lead to her isolation as she would often leave her peers behind and be place with children in an older age group. She studied at Cemiess Bardic College, where she was the student representative on the school's Board of Trustees. Whilst still at school she found her first job working at a local fish-and-chip shop. She attained a LinkBachelors of Arts in politics and public relations with Honours from Cemiess Bardic College by the age of 22.

Military Career

"This is for you new people. I have one rule, everyone fights, no one quits. You don't do your job I'll shoot you. Do you get me?"Link(1)
- Operative Corporal Duval.

At the age of 18 she would be Linkconscripted and placed into the Nevecian Arcanum due to her mastery of Bardic spellcraft, attaining the rank of LinkCorporal. While there she earned a reputation as an Linkelite and dangerous operative, deploying in high-risk anomalous combat, infiltration and extraction scenarios against the LinkMindflayers and became a primary military advisor to then Major-General Nydoorin for a major offensive operation against the Illithid threat and liberation of their mind slaves. Nydoorin evaluated Aisling's leadership during the operation as "nothing short of brilliant". When Aisling returned to Cubeo, Nydoorin sent an open letter to the local press which called Aisling "the best single Nevecian intelligence asset in theatre", stated that her work saved "a multitude of coalition lives", and noted that the Nevecian Forces should "seek her advice on how to change our entire tactical intelligence training and architecture".

Aisling has been cited in dispatches for the usefulness of her tactical Linkcounter-insurgency knowledge in the planning and implementation of an unnamed operation in 12214 to secure important terrain. Her experience dealing with Illithid psychic combat, eldritch Linkbioweapons, and mastery over personnel-based Linkmosaic warfare would earn her the admiration of her subordinates as a brave and ferocious leader. During the mandatory 2 year service of her conscription however, tragedy struck as her father would be left comatose after a car accident due to Linkdriving while intoxicated. After her mandatory service had ended she would then decide to enter politics instead of continuing her career in the Arcanum.

Political Career

Aisling was brought into politics by her father, Harold Duval, a longstanding member of the Winter Court, who recruited the teenaged Aisling to help him with campaigning for LinkNew Innsmouth MP LinkScanlan Shorthalt during his re-election campaign at the 12210 general election. She later joined the Spring Court of Nevertopia at the age of 20, and became a senior figure in the civil rights sector of the party. After graduating from the bardic college, she spent some time working on a private venture with a few of her close fellow graduates that would lead to the creation of her Unchain charity foundation. After a period of time in LinkAnor Londo City, where she Linkvolunteered at the Linksoup kitchen her charity ran and worked on a workers' rights campaign, Aisling moved to the capital city of LinkYharnam where she became the LinkMinister of Security, Containment and Protection after being handpicked by then Prime Director and former Winter Court leader Kars Esidisi in no small part due to her prolific military career.

After the dissolution of Prime Director Kars' government in 12219 due to a public brawl with a LinkSun Soul Monk escalating to his death via thrown into an erupting volcano she was chosen to be party leader of the Spring Court and formally announced her candidacy for Prime Director soon after. Her tragic family history, accolades earned during her tour of duty and her body of work with the disenfranchised would prove overwhelmingly popular with Nevecian society earning her the nickname of "the people's princess" and culminating in her election as the youngest Prime Director in Nevecian history.

Ideology


ADVERTISEMENTLink

Economic Left/Right: -2.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.23

Aisling has described herself as a Linksocial democrat, a Linkprogressive, a Linkrepublican and an Linkegalitarianist, citing LinkRelena Darlian as a political heroine, and has described Link21st century Earth capitalism as a "blatant failure" due to the extent of Linkchild poverty and Linkhomelessness at the end of Earth's history. She advocates a lower rate of Linkimmigration, suggesting a drop of around 20,000–30,000. Calling it an "infrastructure issue", she argues, "there hasn't been enough planning about population growth, we haven't necessarily targeted our skill shortages properly". However, she wants to increase the intake of refugees.

Aisling believes the retention or abolition of Feywilds electorates should be decided by the Feywilds, stating, "[The Feywilds] have not raised the need for those seats to go, so why would we ask the question?" She supports compulsory teaching of the Sylvan language in schools.

Religious Views

Duval's father was a devout LinkPelorist and her mother converted from LinkLathanderism to Pelorism just prior to their wedding. As a child, Aisling attended Mass each Sunday and said her prayers each night before bedtime. She became a lapsed Pelorist at age 18, as she felt that much of his day-to-day life was not addressed by the formality and structure of the church. Duval described her faith during this period as "like so many Pelorist across this country, I said, 'OK, I'm Pelorist, I'm of faith, but I'm just not really going to go to church. Maybe on Edoiras Feast, maybe midnight Mass at Breadgiving Eve.'"

After the death of her Linkhalf-brother Thokk in 12215, Duval went on a month long Linkpilgrimage and explored Linkdivinity among the various faiths present in the nation, during which she renounced any form of faith completely. In 12216, when pressed on the topic Duval stated, "My own personal Linkmorality has been shaped by the different religions I learned from during this time in my life and I find myself following the cause of love and peace that unites these faiths together instead of any one doctrine. That is an extremely important part of who I am and the values that I try to lead with."

Trivia


  • She is a hybrid level 8 Lore Bard and level 2 Rogue with access to tier four bardic spells. In contrast, the average trained Arcanum operative is around level 5 and specializes in only one field.

  • Her critics argue that her persona as the sweet-hearted and affable "people's princess" is nothing more than a carefully crafted public image and the real Aisling is a cunning and ruthless politician.

  • Despite her demure demeanour, much like her father she is prone to promiscuity and often makes headlines on celebrity media for her multiple "flings".

  • She is openly Linkbisexual.

  • She was briefly engaged to President Rosa Throntalm of Reuturn after President Rosa unknowingly proposed to Prime Director Aisling in Nevecian custom through the sharing of homemade sweets and a gift of great sentimental value (a pokemon card from President Rosa's childhood), who moved to tears by the bold gesture accepted on the spot. (2)

  • She was briefly deceased before magical resuscitation due to Link28 stab wounds inflicted by her android assistant.

  • Stats are Str:8 /Dex:14 /Con:16 /Int:12 /Wis:10 /Cha:18

Hello nations of TEP, I was wondering if anyone could tell me why I was removed from office as the Chief Janitor of The East Pacific? I worked hard to gain that title and I need to know whether It has become an elected office. If so, I am proud to announce my campaign to run for the office of Chief Janitor of The East Pacific for a second term!

General question!

I’ve been having a lot of fun with the whole pamphlet angle of my nation’s factbook. However, it occurs to me that doing things that way does also make a lot of facts difficult to be sure of, and certainly obscures a lot of information. I wanted to ask how much of a problem that probably is, and whether it might be a good idea to have a more clarified variant somewhere.

In general, I prefer the method of revealing information about your nation through RP rather than factbooks. "Show, don't tell," as they say. It is useful to keep factbooks for real important stuff, though.
