Rune

Rune is the first and current party whip for the United Left People's Party since January 26, 2021. They are also a list candidate during the January 2021 Legislative elections, being ranked 6th on the party list. Rune is an Anthropologist by trade, with their work also spanning a variety of natural sciences. Their work within ULPP is focused on expanding minority rights and environmental protections. They nominated RepOfCommunists as Equalities Minister in their stead, deciding to focus more heavily on their duties as Party Whip.

They are the founder of the 4 ideological caucuses within the ULPP, being a key assistant in the design for the four caucus logos with Sam. They co-founded the Disability Caucus with Dadijo Penguinez.

On February 16, 2021 Rune became the interim leader of the ULPP being third highest on the chain of command as both the leader and deputy leader resigned at once. They did not participate in the February 2021 leadership election.

In February 2021, a monolith appeared outside of Rune's house. It was there for two days before Rune started focusedly staring at it. At this point, the monolith started glowing before levitating into space. The monolith was spotted in the Democratic Republic of the Congo the next day. This has sparked many theories that Rune might be the source of the mysterious monolith that has been circumnavigating the globe since 2020. Rune has yet to comment on these issues, aside from hissing and stating "you don't know my true powers" to a DIN reporter who asked for an interview.

Rune is firmly positioned on the ULPP's left.
