Amari James Tu'Aruc (August 12, 1978) is a former professional Gridiron Football player, college football player, member of the Tu'Aruc Royal Family, nobleman, and businessman currently serving as the Chair and CEO for the Seran airliner SkyQuest Airlines since May 6th, 2019. Amari is the eldest son of King Sefu Tu'Aruc and Queen-Mother Okoye Omowale-Tu'Aruc, and was considered the "favored child" of the royal family to inherit the throne over the current King, Skolas Tu'Aruc. However, despite the backing of Sera's conservative party, Amari's brother managed to secure the throne over the elder brother. Since then, Amari has devoted all of his time and energy into his work, and has grown his modest Airline into a burgeoning business. Today, SkyQuest Airlines is one of the top 10 largest airliners in Unified Sera, and is popular among budget-fliers. Amari is worth over $450 million dollars today between smart and shrewd investments, his earnings from his time in professional football, royalties, and other sources of revenue such as property.
Early Life
Amari James Tu'Aruc was born on August 12, 1978, as the eldest son of King Sefu Tu'Aruc and Queen-Mother Okoye Omowale-Tu'Aruc. He hails from the prestigious Tu'Aruc Royal Family, known for their significant influence and power within Unified Sera. The Tu'Aruc dynasty has a long history, tracing its roots back several centuries, and is revered as one of the most respected families in the country. Due to this, Amari's childhood was marked by the privileges and responsibilities that came with his royal lineage. He grew up in opulent surroundings within the walls of the Palace of Kings, where he was exposed to the rich cultural traditions and customs of the Seran nation.
From an early age, Amari received a comprehensive education, studying under renowned tutors who nurtured his intellectual and physical abilities. His mother, an accomplished educator in her own right, took special interest in ensuring Amari got a well-rounded education. It was during these early years that Amari became extremely invested in engineering and mathematics. It is also during this time that Amari discovered his love of sports; particularly the sport of Gridiron Football. Growing up in the royal family, Amari James Tu'Aruc had a unique upbringing that emphasized both his personal development and his understanding of the duties and obligations associated with his noble status. He learned the intricacies of diplomacy, etiquette, and governance, preparing him for a potential role as a future leader within Unified Sera. As is custom, the family treated his education as if he would become King, instead of "potentially" becoming the monarch. This treatment extended to his sister, Taraji Tu'Aruc when she was born, and ultimately to his two younger brothers King Skolas Tu'Aruc and Jabori Tu'Aruc.
Amari's parents, King Sefu Tu'Aruc and Queen-Mother Okoye Omowale-Tu'Aruc, played pivotal roles in shaping his character and values. They instilled in him a strong sense of integrity, compassion, and responsibility toward his people. King Sefu, in particular, was known for his progressive leadership and dedication to the welfare of his people; although his lapses in judgement proved valuable lessons to his young children.
Amari also developed a close bond with his younger brother, Skolas Tu'Aruc, with whom he shared many formative experiences. The two siblings engaged in friendly competition, pushing each other to excel academically, athletically, and in various other pursuits. Their relationship was initially marked by mutual respect and camaraderie, as they navigated the complex dynamics of the royal family together.
However, the succession dispute that arose within the Tu'Aruc Royal Family strained the relationship between Amari and Skolas. Despite being considered the "favored child" by many within the royal court and the conservative party, Amari ultimately faced disappointment when his brother secured the throne. This unexpected turn of events shook the foundation of their brotherly bond and left a lasting impact on Amari's life. The two would go radio silent for several months until Amari reached out to his brother to make amends and exchange apologies.
