Victor Luize de Arbaroya (born Novarius 7, 1969), more known as Victor Royal, is an Ignesian politician who is currently serving as the incumbent Axempavoceror of Ignesia, and a former professional sportsman. Voted by the ISC as the greatest sportsman of all time, he is regarded as one of the most influential and prolific athletes in history. As one of, if not the most decorated sportsman in the world, he is known as a multi-sport athlete, playing professional basketball, ferrenball, football, and baseball in a career that spanned around 28 years.
Born in Dazedoven, Hysante, he was orphaned a few years after his birth, and would emigrate to Ignesia after scout Pilippe Prince offered him to join the Hercan academy at age 13. At first, he played for Hercan's youth basketball team, but would establish himself as a multi-sports athlete during his time in the academy. This would attract the attention of the Nermesten national team, and would place him in their U19 squad at the very early age of 15. He would make his senior debut in basketball, association football, and ferrenball in 1986, in which he would carry the club to the Trevex Ignezaiteva final in his first year, and and an unprecendented football quintuple the following year. He would also net rookie of the year awards in both basketball and ferrenball during his 1986 season, which broke many records for a rookie player, aswell as all-time records, including the most touchdowns by a player in a single game, set by Victor with 8.
His football career would take him to TC Vimicia, after a now infamous interview in the Menezvran Vrezar Xernesia, where he denounces Hercan principal Ifensa Lodengranze for his "favoritism towards the Ignesian-born, without chances to everyone else capable". He would sign for the Vrezar Vimician side in a free transfer, and in his debut season would bring the club a domestic treble of the Trevex Igneza, the Trevex Impranen Igneza, and the VI Avosepen. He would win them the Trevex Ignezaiteva the next season in 1990, but would miss out on the entirety of the Vimicatrevex after personal scheduling issues with the AVB. Overall, Royal would have 364 appearances and 421 goals for the Vrezar Vimicia-based club, and has remained as the top goalscorer all-time in the league, the top assist total of the team aswell as the second most assist total in the league, and the second TC Vimicia player with the most appearances, only behind rival Caselpe Primanea and teammate goalkeeper Lexarredeu respectively. During the latter half of his tenure with TC Vimicia, the Incident at the Ilvanestos would lead to protest from Victor and his national team peers, and eventually the campaign for the reformation of the defunct Ignesian national football team. In 1998, the AFI and the ISC would grant Vrezar Igneza a national team, and many players, including Royal, joined the fledgling national team. The Ignesian team shocked the world in 2000, defeating previous winner Ferren in the Nations' Cup final 4-0 after extra time, dubbed the Magic at the Menesvran, alluding to the incident between Nermesten and Kvalnestos 8 years prior. Declining football play and financial trouble would force the hand of TC Vimicia in 2002, selling Royal to Hysante side Rez Cereva for an unheard of ₡95 million, shattering the world transfer record. At this point, Victor Royal has already won 7 Boalvanders, 3 more than second-place in all-time Boalvander wins Presce Naven, and has already won 6 ISC World Football Player Awards, at the age of 33. The Ignesian national side would show their dominance at the 2002 Trevex Futbaol Vimicia by going undefeated while winning the cup with an astonishing 6-0 win against Prexese in the final, with all but 2 goals from Victor Royal.
The debut season of Victor Royal in 2002 at Rez Cereva would bring the club a Avanere quadruple of the Interchampion's Tournament after a 3 goal comeback by Rez Cereva, the Ligasante, the Tevex Hysante, and Tevex Vosepe. His position as a wingback and defensive midfielder despite his previous positions in TC Vimicia would make his season assist total of 33, the all-time assist total in a season in the Ligasante, become even more impressive considering the limitations. The club would bring 4 more consecutive Interchampion's Tournament trophies and 7 more Ligasante titles, before his departure in 2009 after national ridicule and criticism following his missed penalty at the 2008 Nations' Cup final against Hysante themselves, leading to a 3-3 draw and 4-5 on penalties. He would join Venester Football Club on a free transfer, and would set the all-time most goals in a single season and year in both the FSA and in the world, with 78 and 103 respectively, in his debut season. He would redeem himself in the 2012 Nations' Cup, beating Nermesten 7-6 after a large 5 goal deficit in the 70th minute, with all 7 goals from Victor. His last ever game was a thrilling 3-3 win and 5-3 on penalties also against Nermesten in the 2014 Trevex Futbaol Vimicia final. He would end his career as a professional football and as a sportsman altogether with 1,230 goals from both his international and domestic career in 1135 appearances, and 786 assists all time.
His career in basketball was almost equally as illustrious as his career in football. He would join an already star-studded Hercan team, dubbed the "Preanevaze" (Wondersquad), and would bring them to a treble of the IFB championship, the IFB Trevex Empaxi, and the ISC Championship Cup of Basketball. His departure from the Hercan club would lead him to join the TC Vimicia basketball team, and would win all available IFB accolades for a season except for Rookie of the Year, from IFB Player of the Season, to the IFB Defensive Player of the Year. Three-peats and a perfect undefeated season in 1993 would lead him to basketball stardom, and many invites from the equally presitigious NFBC league in New Ferren, with contracts supposedly in the ₡50 millions per year. He would continue his basketball career in Ignesia, however, and establish himself as one of the most versatile basketball players in the world. A International Sporting Cup final bashing against Kvalnestos in 2002, along with Victor's quintuple-double, the only recorded ever in the world of basketball, cemented Royal as one of the most versatile and all-around players in basketball's history.
A ferrenball career was also a priority for Victor Royal, although the sportsman would later say in 2016 in an interview with Blaske Sport, I was more interested in ferrenball than basketball and baseball to be honest. Not more than football, yet it just seemed like ferrenball became sort of stale for me later on.. He would win Avosepen Fereboal Rookie of the Year in his debut season with Hercan, and would lead TC Vimicia to the Trevex Fereboal final in his first season with the club. His first Asvargas Award would be given to him in 1993, and he would obtain the award 6 more times in his career, aswell as four Trevex Pev Trevexn and 10 Trevex Ferebaols, playing as both a quarterback, defensive back, and kicker, one of the only players past the 21st century to play in offense and defense. His baseball career was an oddity in the history of the sport, beyond his status as a multi-sportsman. Victor said publicly in 1990, a year after him signing with Vrezar Vimicia, that "It was just a novelty for me to go two-way, I did not expect them to actually give it to me despite my workload.". He would obtain a two-way contract with the college, and would bring the team 13 Taylxanatrevexn, 13 Vimexelanacepen, 8 Trevex Vimiciaiteva, and 12 Trevex Menezvraniteva, while securing himself the all-time home run lead in 2012, and 11 AVB MVPs.
Nicknamed "Rox Axemparex" (The Emperor), Royal's football playing career would bring him an astounding 4 ISC Nations' Cups, 7 Trevex Ignezaitevas, 7 Boalvanders, 10 Alvadatrevexn, 14 International Club Champions Cups, 15 Avanere-Vimicia Cups, 5 Empaxitrevex, 7 Trevex Vrezar Igneza, 3 Trevex Nermesten, 10 ISC Preseason Cups, and a record 11 ISC World Football Player Awards. After he left the Prima Vimicia football squad and joined Hysante side Rez Cereva, he would win most notably 6 Interchampion's Tournaments, 8 Ligesante titles, and 2 FSA titles with Venester CF. After retiring from the Nermesten national team in 1992 after the Incident at the Ilvanestros, Royal would be one of the main proponents for the reformation of the Ignesian national team, which was split in 1955. After the reformation, he became a part of the famous "Volleyballers" Ignesian national team side that won 3 Nations Cups and 5 Trevex Futboal Ignezas. In basketball, Royal would win 5 IFB Player of the Season awards in a row, from 2002 to 2007, and would bring the first title for Hercan since the IFB's inaugural season in 1957. His ferrenball career would bring TC Vimicia-Valkhunen to 4 straight undefeated seasons from 1999-2004. His position as a pitcher and a baseman in the AVB would lend him a reputation as "the heart of the 90s Vrezar Vimicia squad", bringing them more than 30 senior titles in his career. Victor Royal's other notable achievements include 10 Trevex Ferebaol titles and 7 Asvargas Awards in ferrenball, 15 IFB champion titles and 7 IFB Player of the Season in basketball, as well as 12 Trevex Vimiciaitevas and 11 AVB MVPs during his baseball tenure at Vrezar Vimicia. Other accolades include top all-time scorer in the world in football (1,138 goals), basketball (52,178 points), ferrenball (719 touchdowns passing and running), and most home runs in baseball (1,086). He is only the second person to win two or more player of the year awards from different sports, after Ifensa Lodergranze in 1967.
The first former professional sports player to become a head of state in history, Royal became involved in politics in 2017, when he joined the Vimician Union party, in which his good relations with former coach and then leader of the Vimician Union party Iosan Lexense allowing him to win the party's presidential election in 2018. He ran unsuccessfully for Premier Justice in the same year, losing to Noxarre E. Vercane by only a slim 2% margin. He would then run for the position of Axempavinkhi in 2020, winning against incumbent Deniel Schlavi in a landslide victory. In the years after retiring from sports, Victor Royal has also served as vice-president of the Avosepen Futbaol Igneza from 2015 until 2017, and has coached the national team of Nermesten from 2016 until 2018. Possibly the most well-known sportsman in the world, Royal has participated in many product endorsements, notably the famous Fel Victor shoe line. He also owns a majority stake over his former club Rez Cereva since 2019, and owns Savexar Arbaroya that participates in the CAR International Championship of Tour Racing. He has starred in many different types of media, from movies such as High Time (2003) and Magic of the 8th (2010), to series such as the Gladler-winning Hell in Venester (2019), biography Dawn of the Royal (2022), and documentary Ignesia Reborn (2016), produced by Victor himself.
