Biography
Early life
Born on 1-8 32 TT, Yyme grew up in a working class household in Tinlea-Ut. Yymes mother was a royal nurse, his father was a manager of Aremt Fisheries in west Tinlea. Growing up Yyme had little interest in his future, during his secondary school career placement test, he left before getting his result from the proctor, later finding out he had the attributes of a scholar or academic. According to childhood friends, Braia spent much of his youth drinking and wandering around Tinlea, searching for things to kill his boredom; at the age of 17 he finished schooling and his mother got him a job at the Liamia wyckryn, as a groundskeeper. He would work there for eight months, his employment ended after he got into an argument with Liamia advisor Syern Keryel, who reportedly critiqued his work ethic, the argument escalated into Braia throwing a rock at Keryel, hitting him in the shoulder, Braia was fired on the spot. Yymes mother was furious with him and according to later interviews with Braia, said that she considered him a failure, wishing she had more children so that their family could be successful.
Buildup to revolution
While unemployed, Yyme chose to spend most of his time outside of the Braia family home as to avoid his mother. On 2-8 12 TT, while wandering around central Tinlea he encountered a protest occurring against Utyr Ywylin and his cabinets practices. As he walked past he heard a familiar voice, his school friend Votan Lainya was heading the protest. The two caught up after not speaking for a few years, Lainya having become the leader of the RGOU, a designated "dissenter" group intent on bringing down monarchy and hierarchy in Utlian society. Yyme explained his situation to Votan, who offered him a place in the RGOU as an organizer. Yyme accepted the job, despite the low pay he found a passion for political organization. On 13-7 11 TT, Yyme was leading a protest in the Miiaeyn district of Tinlea when royal soldiers were called in, alleging property damage to local businesses, the protest turned to a riot after a member of the RGOU was shot fatally, the royal army was repelled and the RGOU quickly dispersed. Votan witnessed the event and met with Yyme following it, during which he admitted that he thinks Yyme would best fit the role as leader of the revolution, saying that he "has a fire-starter characteristic that gets people ready for anything that may befall them." Braia accepted the promotion and the two began planning their next move, they met with Nerest Ierek, the leader of the Peasants of Eastern Utlian, a revolutionary group based in Unlaunen and the two groups agreed to join fronts in the coming revolution.
The First Utlian Revolution
On 1-3 10 TT the Royal army received the news that they would be dramatically cut down in size, in favor of the Utyr Guard and Arznyr, upon hearing this, high general Mal Ignis went to Ywylin and demanded to know why, after not receiving a proper answer he stormed out. Contemporary historians believe that Ywylin was afraid specificially of Mal because the troops under him considered Ignis to be their leader, rather than Ywylin. During a training exercise the following day, an Utyr courier came to Mal with a letter, he was suddenly relieved of his position, this led to a schism in the military, with a mass of Mal loyalists resigning in protest. Mal would visit the RGOU headquarters to make a deal, he personally did not care for the monarchy and personally assured Yyme and Votan that as long as he had a place in the military of the Utlia they were building, he and his loyalists would charge through Tinlea. The RGOU now had enough allies and arms to begin their plan. Yyme, Mal, Votan and Nerest all started assaults on 8-5 10 TT, a day which would become the national celebration day following the civil war. Mal had embedded soldiers in the royal guard execute two commanders while the rest of his loyalists sieged outposts of the police and royal guard throughout Tinlea.
