That child over there? I suppose it would be completely reasonable for you not to be familiar with him.

Occupation ✧ ConjurerPersonality ✧ The first impression A-Kirau-Kor tends to leave is that of a malevolent trickster. He is playful, intrusive, deliberately irritating, and seems to revel in getting under people's skin. Yet there is something beneath the childish antics that betray something deeper: an old, simmering hostility that occasionally shows through. His confidence comes from the unsettling impression that he genuinely holds no fear for the consequences of his actions.Availability ✧ Open to RP

Story

A-Kirau-Kor's past is strangely difficult to piece together. Nearly two centuries old, he resides alone in the Twelveswood, involves himself in Gridanian affairs largely when it suits him, and appears to answer to virtually no one.Despite his age and unusual standing among Hearers and conjurers, he holds no seat on the Seedseer Council and is notably the only Padjal actively excluded from it. He is nevertheless afforded considerable respect, and many who know of him seem reluctant to cross him.E-Sumi-Yan is one of the few people A-Kirau will reliably listen to, though the dynamic between them is visibly strained, and E-Sumi-Yan seems almost as reluctant to exercise that influence as A-Kirau is to acknowledge it.Though most have been lost to time, the few older records featuring him that remain paint a different picture altogether: a disciplined, zealous conjurer and wartime commander whose deeds repeatedly protected Gridania. What happened between that man and the one known today is considerably harder to discover.

hooks

Please note that A-Kirau-Kor rarely seems to leave the Twelveswood. However, he may be compelled to travel if provided a good enough reason to.

In need of a Healer

If you're in need of healing but would rather avoid unwanted questions, they say that one Padjal who lives alone by the waterfall is remarkably tight-lipped.

Strange Happenings in the Twelveswood

Something strange is happening in the Twelveswood, and few seem to know quite what to make of it. Whispers suggest the eccentric Padjal living deep within the forest may know more than he lets on. If he can be persuaded to help that is.

Gelmorran Fixation

A-Kirau-Kor displays an unusually intense fixation on Gelmorra, though he offers little explanation for it. He is known to seek out and trade Gelmorran artefacts through means that are not always entirely scrupulous.

Unexpected Mercies

For all his unpredictability, A-Kirau-Kor occasionally displays a peculiar degree of restraint where Duskwights are concerned. It would be an exaggeration to call him warm toward them, but those familiar with his temperament may notice that they sometimes receive mercy where others would not.

hooks

These hooks are intended to be used sparingly. Not just anyone would know of this information, regardless of its veracity.

A Contentious Relationship

Among Hearers, it is well known that the elementals choose to speak to A-Kirau-Kor more readily than to almost any other, save the Elder Seedseer. Less openly discussed is the curious impatience and irreverence- or is that resentment you see?- with which he displays as a response to that attention.

The days of War

Given his age, it is not difficult to surmise that A-Kirau-Kor fought in the Autumn War. Surviving accounts describe a disciplined and steadfast commander whose actions repeatedly protected Gridania- yet the man preserved in those records bears remarkably little resemblance to the one you see before you today.

Grudges of Old

A-Kirau-Kor has a peculiar interest in old wrongs that were never properly answered for. Tales of Gridanian injustice, the elemental's cruelty, or people made to suffer for the decisions of those in power tend to get his attention far better than most things do.

Do not use these hooks or the information implied in a public RP setting. If you wish to use these hooks, you must first discuss them with me.

Into the Maws

Though the fact appears to have been struck from most records, there are still those who know that, before its closure, A-Kirau-Kor served as the final Warden of the infamous prison of Toto-Rak.

what is gone

A-Kirau-Kor rarely speaks of magic and can seem almost unremarkable beside other Padjal. Yet when truly tested, his knowledge of necromancy and other forbidden arts proves unnervingly extensive. Perhaps that has something to do with why his innermost sanctum is warded even from the eyes of the elementals themselves.
