Ramidian
In the Governors Election, after the vote of ‘no confidence’, Ramidian was the first representative affiliated with the Business Sector to be elected as a governor.
Randall (Governor)
Randall was the third elected governor of the Capital District. He was the first Capital District governor affiliated with the House of Divine Knowledge. He was governor for eight years before he was voted out and replaced by Jason Bramley.
Randall (head of the Economic Institute)
Randall was another of August Rezif’s personas. After his one and only governor persona (Cromley), August wanted to be back in his comfort zone as head of the Economic Institute. He replaced former Rezif Company executive Randall to become the head of the Economic Institute.
During this time, Sapey was going through a period known as 'The Great Divide'. Neither the Business Sector nor the House of Divine Knowledge had dominant influence over the Government. The number of regions that strongly supported either the Business Sector or the House of Divine Knowledge were equal.
Randall wanted to use his influence to break the deadlock. He met with the most prominent governors affiliated with the Business Sector and the House of Divine Knowledge to discuss the new budget and a resettlement of residents to break the deadlock and solve employment shortages. Randall used his powers of persuasion to put ideas into the governors’ heads that would solve this problem. His plans eventually led to the resolution of this problem.
Randall used his position as head of the Economic Institute to shape the ideas of all the representatives. He held lectures for all the newly elected representatives.
Ray
Ray was elected as a representative for the Adoy Region in the General Election six months after the Governors Election, which was forced by the ‘no confidence’ vote. He received the most points in the election.
Rebel Leader in the North
The rebel leader attempted to wipe out the noble families living in the North District. His attempt failed. Chief Rundo from the Capital District publicly executed him. However, was the rebel leader acting on his own plan, or was he following the instructions of or being manipulated by someone else?
Receptionist (Cellrebrum Rehabilitation Centre)
The Cellrebrum Rehabilitation Centre had a spa. The enforcer training programme allowed the recruits to use the spa in their free time. The receptionists monitored who used the spa’s facilities. During a training activity, Eugene approached the receptionist to ask about who had visited the spas that day. The receptionist told Eugene about what she had observed. Eugene found her to be very helpful.
Later, the receptionist confronted Arville during their discussion about the crime. This angered Arville.
Rednik
Rednik was an Adoy enforcer. He met Demarcus when Darius fell off the wall. He took Demarcus to the medical centre to be with his brother.
Rednik reintroduced himself to Jacob and Janice after the vigil for the train crash victims. He apologised for the way the enforcers had treated their family. The next day, Janice visited him at the Enforcer Headquarters. She needed his help in locating Darius. Rednik agreed to help, and Janet convinced him to go to Jeed personally.
In Jeed, Rednik investigated the recent assessments. He found out that most assessments from the past few months had taken place over the past few weeks. He found out Darius had initially passed his assessment, but it was now pending. Someone called Jennifer, whom it appeared Darius had not even met, halted it.
Rednik investigated Jennifer to find out that Jennifer was an AI software program. Rednik found a video recording of Demarcus; he was supposed to have died in the train crash, but he was in the building during the fire. In another video, he saw a buggy leaving the region. Rednik suspected Demarcus could have escaped in this vehicle, which he was able to track.
Rednik tracked the vehicle to the edge of the Southern Agricultural Zone. When he reached it, he found it had been stripped of everything, including the tracker. Rednik got in his vehicle and followed the tracks leading into the wastelands. It did not take him long to catch up with what was left of the vehicle. He found a Sapiod, which was Darius. However, he could not see Demarcus or Polly. They were both invisible, but at this point, they were unaware they had this ability. Demarcus recognised Rednik and felt comfortable approaching him. Rednik took all three of them back to Adoy.
On returning to Adoy, Rednik approached Vulay, who had now become the Head Enforcer. She agreed to take Demarcus and Polly’s names off the list of dead Sapiens from the train crash. Rednik went to meet Polly. She got in his vehicle. Jennifer took control of the vehicle and caused it to crash into the outer wall of the region, killing Rednik. With the information Rednik knew, he was considered a threat she needed to get rid of.
Remy
Remy was Lily’s adopted father. He and Ronda raised her as a Linap to protect her. While Lily was studying at the West District House of Divine Knowledge, Remy and Ronda went missing. Lily, with the help of Ofnisim, located her adopted parents. They were kept in a care home. Remy was unwell and unable to speak. Candice, a killer of Lily's biological parents, had secretly replaced Ronda, but Lily soon realised this. Again, with the help of Ofnisim, Lily captured Candice, Clyde, and Niart. Lily went back to the care home to spend time with Remy before he died.
Reveileb
Reveileb was a senior philosopher at the West District House of Divine Knowledge. He suggested that the House of Divine Knowledge support candidates to compete in future elections after James Yensid’s candidates became governors for most districts.
Years later, Reveileb became friends with Demadrian, and he helped inform the Alset family about what was happening outside of Carrington City during the years they were imprisoned there.
There was a tunnel directly beneath the West Temple. Reveileb held secret meetings with Alset family members. When the Alset family had decided they would hide underground for good, Demadrian trusted Reveileb with information about the hidden chambers and entrances to underground networks.
Sapey suffered a horrendous collapse. The Linap were almost wiped out. Eventually things improved. Reveileb was torn about what to do regarding the Alset family. He was scared if he helped bring them back, things would become worse. He decided to seal off all the hidden entrances to the underground network and destroyed the maps he was given.
Reveileb was a governor in the emergency Government. He voted in favour of creating the Sapiens. This was on the basis that they were protected in divine law. This meant they could not be treated as slaves. Reveileb also came up with a structure of governance that prevented any groups of Linap from gaining too much power. This evolved into the modern Sapey governance structure.
In his final years, Reveileb helped back-bred children and their mothers escape detection from the authorities. He used the protections offered by the House of Divine Knowledge.
Ricardo
Ricardo was the host of the zany Ricardo Show. He had a unique form of comedy where he would insult his guests and relentlessly insult his audience. Ricardo introduced the genius babies to the world. He used his viewership and popularity to promote the use of the serum and legalisation of it to be used on all the new Linap babies. He was even a member of the debate team that supported it.
Ricardo was an important member of the entertainment action team. He represented the members of the team on his live show. He showcased what they had to offer and the direction of entertainment in general in Sapey.
Despite his incessant berating of his audience, his show was very popular with almost every Linap. Ricardo’s shows were more than just entertainment. They were littered with propaganda, which frequently mocked any opponents of Tiberius. The success of his show was a key reason Tiberius remained in power for so long.
Rico the Sape
Rico was a Sape living in the Jeed Region. He protected the flag in paintball games. When the riots broke out, Rico escaped into the Southern Agricultural Zone. He managed to avoid the giant flying machine, the Sentray, and the contaminated water. Vulay’s team rescued him because he was wearing a hat. He was taken to Downs Region, where he lived next to Hamlet and fluffy Lily.
RJ (Rolly Jolly)
RJ was a dessert blogger. He liked to blog about ice cream and pies. His most famous blog was titled ‘The Greatest Pies and Ice Cream Combos’. This earned him some fame.
Pardi Carvaress found out about RJ because he requested a new fridge-freezer when he claimed his existing fridge-freezer was not keeping his ice cream sufficiently cold. The Government responded by giving him a new Carvaress smart fridge-freezer. This infuriated Pardi. This somewhat innocuous event pushed Pardi to try and take down the Government. This resulted in a chain of events that caused Sapey to collapse.
RJ survived the Sentray attack on his town. He hid inside his new fridge-freezer. Eventually, he was rescued by Vulay’s team and taken to the Downs Region. He had no official job, but he liked to advise on matters relating to desserts and treats.
Robert
Robert was the oldest grandson of Jackson Alset’s eldest daughter. He lived his entire life in the underground cities. Robert came up with the idea that Aslet family members not directly in line to become leaders would be stripped of the Alset family name. This was not a popular decision. This caused the Alset family to split into two family branches. They were the Alset family and the Turbo family.
Roger One and Two
Roger One and Two were two robots built by Octavius Spiro from the remains of technology destroyed by the Sentray attack on the Lake Region. Octavius requested that the two robots help him on his expedition to find the seaweed that could cure the sick Downs residents. They were very useful in testing the seaweed Octavius collected. They could analyse the results using the equipment in the vessel.
Ronda
Ronda was Lily’s adopted mother. She and Remy raised her as a Linap to protect her. While Lily was studying at the West District House of Divine Knowledge, Remy and Ronda went missing. Lily, with the help of Ofnisim, located her adopted parents. They were kept in a care home.
Remy was unwell and unable to speak, and Candice had secretly replaced Ronda, but Lily soon realised this. The real Ronda had died. Again, with the help of Ofnisim, Lily captured Candice, Clyde, and Niart.
Rotaderp
Rotaderp was a presenter working for Wolf News. He conducted the famous interview that brought down the governor. He exposed Lily's secret relationship with Pardi Carvaress. This caused her support to crash and for the House of Divine Knowledge to remove support from her. Rotaderp and his film captured the violent riots in the West Region. He was most likely killed when the Sentray attacked.
Rotiart
Governor Rotiart was the newly elected governor for the West Region. He was affiliated with the Business Sector. Maskameera saw him as a target for Lily to replace.
As Rotiart, Lily quickly made friends with Dratsab, another new governor. Lily, using the Rotiart persona, under instructions from Maskameera, was to bring down the House of Divine Knowledge. Dratsab, who despised the House of Divine Knowledge, was willing to help her. They just need enough votes for the decision to go to the representatives.
Collingswaggle, who also despised the House of Divine Knowledge, knew the value of keeping them as their primary opposition. However, he failed to achieve the supermajority of votes to block Rotiart’s proposed ban.
The decision went to the representatives who were mostly new and affiliated with the Business Sector. They voted in favour of the ban. This triggered the most violent riots in Sapey’s history. The Capital Region enforcers were sent out to the worst regions to quell the violence. The Capital Region was undefended when the Sentray attacked.
Rundo the Fifth
Rundo the Fifth was the chief of the Capital District. He was the father of Waldo the Third. Rundo was an ambitious leader. He desired control over more than just the Capital District. He bullied many of the other chiefs into following his lead. The Chief Serinan of the North District resisted Rundo on many issues. This deeply frustrated him.
Everything changed after the rebellion. Serinan and the nobles most loyal to him were killed. Rundo, with the help of Locum Alset, ended the rebellion. Locum Alset took charge of the North and became the guardian of Serinan’s son, Sanguine. The North remained under the protection of Rundo’s guards, who were funded by Locum.
Rundo was content with his new arrangement with the North, but this changed when Sanguine came of age. Sanguine’s first act as chief was to end slavery. This infuriated Rundo. Rundo’s frustration grew when he found out that he was marrying a local girl. There were things he did not want the young chief to know.
Rundo wanted Sanguine to continue to fund his Capital District guards, but he refused and hired his own guards. Rundo’s grip on the North was slipping again. Sanguine’s twin boys had become his new target. Rundo used a group of locals to kill one of his boys and kidnap the other. They succeeded in kidnapping one while convincingly faking his death, but the other boy survived.
Rundo visited the North to offer Sanguine his condolences and support. He did not get the response he desired. Sanguine had figured out that Rundo was behind the murder of his boy. Sanguine’s guards killed Rundo’s guards and the captain. He sent Rundo off with their heads in his carriage. Rundo was terrified and did not want anything more to do with the North District. Several years later, Sanguine sent his surviving son Tiberius to kill Rundo. He succeeded.
Ryan
Ryan was a Pound Ball legend. He set many single-season records, and he helped his underdog team, the Scarecrows, win the Pound Ball Grand Final. At that same grand final, Ryan married superstar singer Saliyah. Because of Ryan, the grand final was the greatest televised spectacle in Sapey’s history.
Sadly, for Ryan, in the second half of the game, he sustained a ‘career-ending’ injury. James Yensid took advantage of Ryan’s injury and current fame. He convinced Ryan to run in the first election to become the new leader of the Capital District. James used his monopoly on the media to control the narrative to enable Ryan and many other entertainers who worked for him to be elected to leadership in other districts.
Ryan began his term as governor under the complete control of James. However, Ryan gradually became more confident in his own leadership. James was slowly losing control over him. Instead, James relied more closely on Saliyah to keep Ryan in line. This led to Ryan’s greatest mistake.
Sanguine requested a special ceremony to renounce his position as chief/governor of the North District. This ceremony was to be just between him, Ryan, and his wife, Saliyah. James felt compelled to allow this out of respect. Sanguine relinquished his position as promised but also managed to secure the newly created position of Head Enforcer for his son Tiberius.
Disaster struck! Over 50,000 Linap were killed in the overcrowded Kingdom Stadium when acid sprayed the upper levels of the stadium, forcing Linap to stampede towards the field. The plexiglass stopped them from entering the field, and faulty doors prevented them from escaping. Saliyah, who was on the field, tried to calm the crowd. The weight of the bodies pressing against the plexiglass caused it to come crashing down on her, killing her.
Ryan was devastated by her loss. He immediately retreated to his family home in Agriah. After James Yensid’s arrest, Tiberius became the most senior leader in the Government. Tiberius set up a temporary Government to be led by Sanguine. This caused outrage, but it was quickly drowned by the sorrow of the tragedy.
Hadrian Alset admitted responsibility to protect his family. He was sentenced to death by burning at the stake by a Linap jury. Tiberius asked the crowd of Linap if they wanted to grant Hadrian mercy. They strongly declined the offer.
Suddenly, Ryan arrived to interrupt the execution. He praised Tiberius for offering mercy and asked the crowd again if they could be merciful. Ecstatic to see Ryan, they agreed and demanded mercy. Ryan announced his resignation as governor and declared his desire to hand the position over to Tiberius. The crowd gladly agreed and cheered for Tiberius.
Ryan returned to Agriah to live in peace. Meanwhile, the Hat Lady had managed to escape the prison in the Capital Region and had made her way to Carrington City. She sought Demadrian’s help to bring down Tiberius. They decided the best way to bring him down would be to ask for Ryan’s help. If he could give Tiberius legitimacy, he might be able to take it away.
Unfortunately, Sanguine, Tiberius' father and advisor, preemptively predicted they might do this. Tiberius sent enforcers to kill Ryan. When the Hat Lady and Demadrain showed up, Ryan was dead. The enforcers then pinned Ryan’s murder on the Hat Lady as well as James, who they claimed had hired her to do so.
Saliyah
Saliyah was a country girl from a small town just outside of Agriah City. She was an exceptionally talented singer, but she went unnoticed because she worked for a small, grossly unhygienic bar. The Hat Lady, who had been secretly following James Yensid, noticed her talent. The Hat Lady approached James and convinced him to listen to her perform. James was amazed by her and immediately hired her.
With the exposure given to her by James Yensid, Saliyah’s popularity soared. It did not take long before she became the most popular singer and performer in Sapey.
James wanted to use her popularity to draw bigger crowds to the Pound Ball events. He wanted Saliyah to date a Pound Ball player. Initially, Saliyah felt a little uneasy, but that changed when she met Ryan. A romance soon blossomed. Saliyah attended and performed at all of Ryan’s games. Jeff Yensid made sure that Ryan’s team, the Scarecrows, made it to the playoffs and Grand Final to give Saliyah as much exposure as possible.
Ryan, Saliyah and the Scarecrows’ popularity soared. At the Grand Final, Ryan proposed to Saliyah, and the wedding was held during the halftime show. The Grand Final was the greatest spectacle any Linap had ever seen.
During the second half of the game, Ryan suffered a serious injury. Despite his injury, Ryan motivated the Scarecrows to still win. Ryan’s career was officially over.
James convinced Ryan to run the election because of how inspiring he believed his leadership to be. Ryan reluctantly agreed, and Saliyah was supportive of his new career.
As James’ grip on controlling Ryan began to slip, Saliyah stepped in to become the most important influence over him. Saliyah encouraged Ryan to give Sanguine’s son, Tiberius, the job of Head Enforcer. Saliyah greatly underestimated Sanguine’s cunning. This ultimately led to her death in the stadium during the next Grand Final.
Sally
Sally was one o
