Izomandakus's page

Izomandakus is a lean woman who clearly conceals her most femenine attributes to resemble the most to a man. She cuts her hair short and often adopts a serious and commanding position just to expel this manly figure.

Despite the temperance of his dressing style, it is clear he likes to take attention to the fabrics and quality of the sewing, and most of his clothing is expensive and of very high quality, like silk, for a medium city worker and even more for a humble Sandpoint family.

She is accompanied by a lean and well taken care of female pig.

You know Izomandakus is the twin sister of Aneka, both daughters of the local baker Alma Avertin, owner of Sandpoint Savories.

If fact, you know Izomandakus was born to the name of Arika, but during teen years she insisted she is a boy and made everyone call her Izomandakus.

You also know the Chopper killed her brother a few years ago, and she has been working in the Golemworks in Magnimar ever since.

It is also rumored she is after the son of the Scarnetti, Titus Scarnetti, but only because of the family money because in reality he is secretly in love with Ameiko Kaijitsu with whom, always according to rumor, he has had an affair in the past.

Arika was born into one of the humble Varissian families that settled in Sandpoint. Her mother, Alma Avertin, is the owner of Sandpoint Savories, the settlement bakery. She has a twin sister called Aneka.

From an early age it became clear Arika was not like the other girls, and despite her physical resemblance to her twin sister, Arika was very different inside. She stated to have dreams of other people, that sometimes memories from another person assaulted her, and that she was not a girl but a boy. When Arika was only a teenager he started to tell everybody that his name was not Arika but Izomandakus and made everybody call him by that name. The family did not know what to do or feel about it, but when his brother Casp was assassinated by the Chopper, everybody seemed to change and started to accept Izomandakus to take the roles of his fallen brother. That day her brother died is the worst memory of her life, but at the same time she feels guilty that it was his most happy day, because people finally ceased to mock her and started to treat him as a man.

Early on Izomandakus started to show a knack on the understanding of magic and an unlimited attraction by Sandpoint’s Old Light and the knowledge of the ancient civilization of Thassilion. Advised by the town’s professor Ilosari Gandethus, old wizard adventurer who saw potential in the boy, the family took Izomandakus to Magnimar for magical study. The Stone of the Seer’s rejected him, in part because his family could not pay the elitist tuition fee, but witnessing the strange understanding of transmutation the boy had, Toth Bhreacher accepted to teach him magic in exchange for Izomandakus to work at the Golemworks helping to manufacture their angelic guardian constructs. Izomandakus profited well from his stay at the Golemworks, he learned magic and constructs craft, and studied the many monuments and ancient ruins of Magnimar.

Allways unconventional, when his master Toth Bhreacher told him to make a bond with one of his crafting tools, or at least with some animal like a sage owl or a sneaky rat, he chose instead his loyal pig Pachemu, who had heard all her problems and sins while she was growing up.

Recently, graduated from his studies, Izomandakus has felt homesick and decided to return to Sandpoint for the Swallowtail Festival with the money he earned at the Golemworks, as an excuse to visit his family. In fact he heard a new Thassilonian expert, Brodert Quink is studying the Old Light and wants to see what he has discovered. Evenmore, Izomandakus hopes to settle in Sandpoint once more and explore the ruins, as he feels strangely intrigued by the Thassilon epoque and thinks it might have something to do with the strange memories at the back of his mind.

In the long run, she plans to keep learning on the topic of constructs crafting. She has rather disruptive ideas of building some of them that might be used to farm at the countryside which would free a lot of working force for other better stuff, like magic study, but she is not opposed to some arts perfection. Of course his master Toth remembers the cost of constructing such golems is so high, it would overtake the value created by farming products in centuries. But the boy is not totally taken down and stubbornly plans to open such a business in Sandpoint and make it not only viable but one of the most profitable businesses in Varisia that will make him extremely rich.

Despite he is quite sociable, Izomandakus is an introvert at heart, making it difficult to talk about her own feelings. This, and the fact she insists to be a man makes unease many of the rural folk of Sandpoint. She built in the past some grudge to the townsfolk and her family for this, but the support of his twin sister, the Chopper assasination and his final studies at Magnimar have changed all, easing up her heart.

The girl has strange memories that specially attach to her during dreams. She sometimes knows things he cannot believably explain how he knows, and this has made others at town to see her as someone strange and keep space from. That said, the other oddities at town have always dealt good with her, and she has made good friendships among some of the strangest members of his community.

Izomandakus likes money to the point that many would consider him greedy. The boy though feels very guilty about it, and often makes his best to conceal that greed.

She cooks the best cookies at town (and likes to always carry some with her in a small crystal pot bought at the Glasswork Factory).

The things that make her more angry are being treated as a woman, although he has come to control his reactions in these cases, and being treated as a non important person. In fact one of his highest fears is becoming poor.

She has the continued feeling she has some pending task to do, but she cannot clearly put what it is.
