<!-- Welcome to the wiki format! This note isn't going to appear on the finished wiki, obviously, but you're welcome to keep it here for reference back if you'd like, otherwise just delete what's between the arrows.  A few things to note before you get started - paragraphs should be separated with a pair of breaks (<br><br>) and inside the div for that particular paragraph.  List items should always be added with : in front of them so that it adds them appropriately to the list.  If you have any stumbles over the formatting, I can be reached via the RPC as Dis -- It’s recommended that you save frequently as you’re doing the initial edits to make sure you have a roll-back point in the event of a coding break, as sometimes rolling back a single edit can fix the problem and re-edits are much simpler than having to redo entire sections of text! Keep in mind that colors are formatted so that you can replace them easily with the find & replace function in notepad or word documents. - Regards, Dis. -->

 <!-- TEXT -->
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;">Born Elspet Mena to the prodigious and ancient House Mena of the Twelveswood, Peko-I led a relatively unexciting life until but recently. Urged by her parents, Breena and Seisyll Mena, to follow in the footsteps of her ancestors as a servant of the Elementals, Elspet began her education in the art of Conjury at a young age. She was far from the most astute of the Conjurers of Stillglade Fane: though she showed zeal and enthusiasm when it came to learning of nature, the Elementals, and the practice and technique of Conjury, Elspet had somewhat of an aversion to tradition. She felt that the study of (and adherence to) the history of Conjury and its traditional applications was blasé, and yearned for a way to expand her use of the art and innovate new ways in which it could be used, both defensively and offensively (so long as it was used to protect and serve the Elementals). This often got her into trouble, and many a time has she been scolded by her mentor and Guildmaster of the Conjurers' Guild, E-Sumi-Yan for venturing into places forbidden and sticking her nose where it should not be. Thus Peko-I earned a reputation as a "troubled" student amongst some of the elder Conjurers and fellow students alike; though E-Sumi-Yan could sense the young girl's potential, and (actively) strove to reserve such judgment of her, regardless of the amount of mischief and unrest she caused.
<br>
Enter the day that changed young Elspet's life forever.
<br><br>
On the day of her fourteenth nameday, Elspet skipped out on her day's lesson to venture into the Black Shroud. She had read in tomes found (without permission) in the Conjurers' Guild's archives of a place known as the Lost City of Amdapor, the birthplace of Conjury and the forbidden art of white magic, and set out in search of artifacts from the ancient civilization. While walking along the river, she spied something sparkling within its depths, and, anchoring herself with a hanging tree branch, lowered herself to reach for it... when the branch snapped, sending her plummeting into the rapids just below. She was quickly washed downstream, screaming for help and gasping for air whenever the rushing waters didn't overwhelm her and force her under, the commotion catching the attention of several wayward wanderers and fishermen, some of whom chased her downstream, and others who ran to alert the Wood Wailers at their nearest encampment. Some of the men tried to grab a hold of her arms or clothing and pull her to safety, but the current was simply too strong, and she continued to slip free of their grasp. All they could do was watch as she continued to struggle against the waters, until, to their horror and that of the Wood Wailers that had just arrived on scene, she reached a waterfall, and was washed two dozen fulms down into the lake below, where she vanished.
<br><br>
She was presumed deceased, and the Wood Wailers promptly began the search for her body. After three bells, word of the incident had reached Gridania, and Elspet's parents, already apprised of the fact that their daughter had not arrived at the Conjurers' Guild that morning, were frantic, and set out to join the search party themselves, praying to the Elementals and the Matron Herself that their daughter was still alive. Six bells after the incident had occurred, the search party found the limp, freezing body of a girl no more than thirteen or fourteen summers old lying on the far bank of the lake, opposite the waterfall from which she fell. As the one of the Wood Wailers approached and touched her cold arm, Elspet's parents already inconsolable... the girl heaved a cough, and spat up a copious amount of water. Slowly she began to rise, shaking and unsteady, pushing herself up with both arms onto her knees, head slumped down toward the lake so that none could yet see her face. All stood stunned as she did so: for they believed they had just witnessed the dead rising. Finally she brought herself to her feet, turned around, and raised her head... and that's when they saw them.
<br><br>
The girl was indeed Elspet, but upon her head she bore a brand new, ivory-white pair of straight, pointed horns, and seemed to radiate an otherworldly energy. All before her, except her parents, fell to their knees, for they then realized they were in the presence of one not only saved, but blessed by the Elementals: they stood before a Padjal. Though the Mena line had been known to produce Padjal in the past (the name being of Padjali origins), none even suspected that Elspet, with her unruly nature, would have been a candidate for such a blessing in the eyes of the Elementals. Yet her she stood, not only with the characteristic horns upon her head, but alive and well due purely to the will and interference of the Elementals themselves. She had been chosen not only to continue living, but to move forward as a guardian of the Twelveswood, a Hearer, a voice of the Elementals among man.
<br><br>
Those at the Conjurers' Guild were in disbelief. Of all the students, all the children of other known Padjal-producing houses, the "troubled" Elspet Mena had been chosen to receive of the blessing. Most puzzling of all, she had yet to produce even one prophecy, or describe any vision at all for that matter. Typically, children were only determined to be Padjal after numerous miraculous prophecies. After being escorted back to Gridania (capturing the attention and awe of all who passed, eliciting gasps and whispers and open-mouthed gazes) and allowed a full day to regain her strength, she was taken to the Guild by her parents and presented not only to E-Sumi-Yan, but to the other Seers as well, including the Seedseers and Elder Seedseer, the Senna siblings, as well. It was there that she revealed what she had seen and heard after being swept down the waterfall: she was approached by numerous beings of light, all of different colors and all strongly radiating an overwhelming amount of unique elemental energy. They spoke to her in a language she had never heard before, yet she understood their words with utmost clarity; they had taken notice of her willfulness, her passion for Conjury, her unrelenting nature, and her yet untapped potential. They told her it was not yet time for her spark to fade from the world, that they had already manipulated fate to ensure she would live on, and that from this day forward, as payment for their interference, she would serve as their conduit; their instrument to carry out the will of the forest, and to preserve the fragile balance betwixt man and nature that had been so gravely threatened in recent times. They declared that she would now be called Peko-I-Mena, a name translating roughly to "sparkle", in reference not only to what triggered the divine beings into action and propelled her to her destiny, but to her passion for nature and its arts and the unique light they believed she would cast upon the world in service of the Elementals. As a parting message, the bade her awaken anew, and follow in their guidance and that of the Padjal before her, that her destiny and true purpose would be revealed in time. That is when she opened her eyes.
<br><br>
It was determined by Kan-E-Senna, the Elder Seedseer herself, that the beings in the vision had been essences of the Elementals, and that she had but the morning prior felt a strange surge of elemental energy and heard whispers from the forest of the arrival of a new Seer. The girl's own aether was also undeniably entwined to that of the forest. Despite the unusual circumstances surrounding the awakening of this Padjal, her legitimacy could not be denied. She was to live out the remaining years of her childhood at Stillglade Fane, a perpetual student of the exclusive and forbidden art of Succor: white magic. This was much to the excitement of both her parents, who were overjoyed to hear that they had reared such a blessed individual, and to the newly-named Peko-I herself, as she was not only being granted the opportunity to expand her skills as a Conjurer, but to tap into the art of Succor that she had only (secretly) read about.
<br><br>
Peko-I continued her lessons in Conjury with the other students during the day, drawing constant criticism and ire from those who believed themselves more suited to the Elementals' gift than her. They dared not outwardly harass her, however, lest the Elementals themselves strike back at them for causing harm unto one of their chosen. Instead, the resorted to isolating her, only talking to or being near her when it was absolutely necessary, never seeming happy in her presence, and whispering and snickering to one another while sneering at her. She knew what they thought and how they felt; if she didn't have her lessons in Succor with E-Sumi-Yan at night to look forward to, she felt as though she would drop out of the guild altogether. (Though the Elementals would never permit that, and she knew this.)
<br><br>
After the passing of several moons it became easier for her to ignore the treatment of her fellow students of Conjury, and it started to become ever more obvious that Peko-I was, indeed, a gifted and powerful practitioner of the art. She even had her first prophetic vision whilst meditating: on a fortress above a land consumed by war and flame, a great battle betwixt a tyrant ruler, eyes and soul alike as cold as ice and wielding a blade of blood, and a warrior whose face had been obscured by a bright light. After a fierce struggle, the tyrant fell. From his corpse bloomed a bed of red, white, and pink flowers, and the raging battle below dissolved into a chorus of song and rejoicing. Little did she know that she had foretold the fall of Zenos yae Galvus at the hand of the Warrior of Light, and the subsequent liberation of his subjugated territories. When it came to her skills in Succor, however, progress at a slightly slower rate; she has an exceptional understanding of the art and has even taken more to learning of the history and traditions of both Conjury and Succor, yet tends to struggle with properly harnessing and controlling the aether required to perform Succor's powerful spells. Many of her magicks tend to either fall flat, just short of manifesting properly to its intended effect, or erupt into an explosive, uncontrollably powerful burst of energy, making even healing spells cause harm at times (typically in the form of the target acquiring moderate to severe aethersickness). She struggles to find a balance, and has since been taken under the wing of Seedseer Raya-O-Senna herself in an effort to better control the immense power she possesses. Just as always, the potential to be a frighteningly powerful Padjal is there: it simply has yet to be realized. If current progress is any indication, it could take a while for that to come to fruition, but Peko-I-Mena continues to tackle every obstacle with enthusiasm, and still retains (somewhat to the dismay of her elders, E-Sumi-Yan in particular) her desire to expand the uses of Conjury (and now white magic, where it is able to be applied) and the ways in can be used to help the people of the Twelveswood and the Elementals alike. She strives to continue growing as a Padjal and dreams of becoming as strong and wise as the White Mages of legend, that she may carry out her duty to the forest as fully as possible.

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Perpetually appearing as a girl of fourteen summers as a result of the Elementals' touch, Peko-I is rather diminutive, despite being considered somewhat tall for her apparent age. She is petite in build, and as she doesn't regularly practice hand-to-hand combat or perform physical labor, her muscles are not well-defined. Her skin is a very pale frosty peach color with no markings save for the dark freckles that form a messy, scattered line across the middle of her face. Though not necessarily an element of physique or actual markings, Peko-I also has a pair of ivory-white horns upon her head: a key feature of those of Padjali blood.</div>
<!-- HYGIENE AND ATTIRE -->

<!-- TEXT -->
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Peko-I is extremely fastidious, and always keeps herself clean and well-groomed. She is very particular about her cleanliness, and usually always smells of the flowers and herbs from which she concocts scented oils. Peko-I typically wears white and lighter, brighter colors, such as pastels. Her favored materials are leather and fur, as it is plentiful in Gridania due to the presence of the Leatherworkers' Guild. Being a servant of the Elementals, and therefore the Twelveswood itself, Peko-I feels it important to recognize the gifts and resources provided by the forest, and therefore wears the hides and pelts of the very beasts the Elementals have provided Gridania with for food so as to make use of all that those gifts have to provide. Typically she wears a long, hooded white robe woven of plant fibers, and adorned with leather straps and satchels (one of which is designed to carry a bouquet of wildflowers, and usually always does), charms carved of bone and metal, and a few colorful accents. She usually wears white leather sandals that strap up to mid-calf and are adorned with beads and feathers. She almost always wears either fingerless leather gloves or leather ringbands on her hands. Her jewelry is always crafted of either the ores minerals found in the Twelveswood, the bones and teeth of its beasts, or woven plants.</div>

 <!-- TEXT -->
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Peko-I is generally always optimistic and very determined and goal-oriented. She tries to always keep her head held high, even in the face of criticism and ridicule from the other students of Stillglade Fane. This isn't always so easy, however, and though she tries not to show it, Peko-I does have some issues with trusting others. It's the other Padjal, the Seedseers in particular, who she trusts implicitly and idolizes: she doesn't even trust her own family as she used to due to how some members began to treat her differently following her becoming a Padjal (her parents' sudden overzealousness being one example). She is generally persistent despite what challenges may come her way, but she does have occasionally suffer from feelings of defeat and disappointment at her lack of progress when she doesn't catch onto something fast enough: especially when it seems to disappoint her mentors and role models. At times she also questions why the Elementals chose her, what exactly they see in her, and if she is able to bear the burden that accompanies being a Padjal, the voice of the Elementals and a protector of the Twelveswood. Sometimes the pressure becomes too great, and she needs some time to herself, to ground herself, to surround herself with nature and the grace of the Elementals and meditate to seek their wisdom.</div>
 <!-- VOICE -->

<!-- TEXT --> 
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Peko-I's voice could be described as being somewhere between that of a child and that of an adult; it is higher in pitch but not squeaking, and is of moderate volume, not small nor booming. Despite having a lighter voice, she is easily able to command attention, and can easily convey an air of authority. She also has a rather pleasant singing voice, though she never sings in front of others.</div>
<!-- PHILOSOPHY AND MANNERISMS -->
:<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">''Philosophy & Mannerisms''</div>
<!-- TEXT -->
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#999999;">Peko-I lives by the creed of the Padjal, to protect the Twelveswood and carry out the will of the Elementals to the best of her ability. She strives to do right by the names of Padjali past, but also still retains her desire to innovate and expand the arts of Conjury and Succor to other beneficial uses, all in the name of spreading the majesty of the Elementals. She still lives by the idea that traditions can afford to be interpreted just a little loosely, and that there's always room to improve and invent something new: even in arts as ancient as that of white magic. In terms of mannerisms, Peko-I is somewhat reserved, but when among friends and those she knows well and trusts, she can be outgoing and somewhat boisterous, sporting a colorful personality. She is generally polite and respectful, always speaking formally when in the public eye, but lets loose in more informal and personal settings.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive.  There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation.

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;"><b>"But Padjal are rare and not an actual in-game race and YOUR CHARACTER CAN'T BE ONE, YOU'RE BREAKING MY IMMERSION!!!1!11!"</b> No wonder there are so few Padjal RPers out there. (Really. I've looked into other Padjal RPers and only found two. You assholes wanted them to stay rare, and you accomplished that by being, well, assholes.) If you  feel this way, then don't RP with me. Simple. If my character being a Padjal who never/rarely leaves the Twelveswood IC and is not <i>nearly</i> as powerful as she should be is game-breaking to you, you are under no obligation to engage. In fact, if you're the lore-policing type ("can't play X or Y job because the lore doesn't allow it", nitpicking small bends of the lore, "Warrior of Light characters are too Mary Sue so you shouldn't play them", etc), kindly do not interact at all. I don't want to RP with you. My philosophy is as long as your character isn't absolutely ridiculous and you write them well, a little lore bending is perfectly fine. In short: let their people have their damn fun and RP what they want. They're not actually hurting anyone, and if the only issue you have is "my immersion", then simply don't interact!<br><br>Do bear in mind that I like to be flexible in my RP, and depending on the types of characters I'm playing with and the situation, I may adjust some things slightly to fit the RP setting. Think of it as different "instances" of RP. I'm not sure this will happen to the degree that it would with my WoL (such as adjusting her relationships and histories with certain NPCs slightly to suit a more OC-centric RP), but it is something I will do, and this can sometimes either bend further away from the actual lore, or bend more toward it.</div></div>
