About Zeph ZondaBackground:
Terraformer: Before you started work aboard BD514, you worked for the Company on a terraforming project on the planet of Entha in the Vast. Entha is a water world with an immense ocean so deep and dark that it’s never been fully explored, earning it the name “the Shadow Sea.” While there, you worked alongside a resourceful and reliable brenneri construction worker named Shan. Shan always looked out for others, and when shifts were just too long and hard, she sometimes covered for you. When you left Entha for less dangerous work on a cargo hauler, Shan was preoccupied with the unsafe working conditions on Entha. You haven’t heard from her since. Theme:
Stormrunner The tumultuous atmosphere of Vesk-5 or another storm-ridden world has trained you to navigate difficult or even forbidden airspaces with grace. You’ve learned recognize the order in the apparent randomness of a storm. Your knowledge of weather patterns, ability to make split second decisions, and near-instantaneous reaction time give you the ability to move just a bit faster than the lightning on your tail. Wherever you picked up this skill, you know how to read a situation and never take your surroundings for granted. Race/Planet:
Slyph Slyphs are descendants of species and creatures from the Material Plane that have strong connections to the Plane of Air, such as djinn. They can also arise in areas that have strong influences from the Plane of Air. Though sylphs can pass for other kinds of humanoids, they tend to be slender, and all have complex blue markings swirling across their skin. Sylphs are naturally reserved and they avoid attention.
[from Pathfinder Lore] Born from the descendants of humans and beings of elemental air such as djinn, sylphs are a shy and reclusive race consumed by intense curiosity. Sylphs spend their lives blending into the crowd, remaining unnoticed as they spy and eavesdrop on the people around them. They call this hobby “listening to the wind,” and for many sylphs it becomes an obsession. Sylphs rely on their capable, calculating intellects and on knowledge gleaned from eavesdropping to deliver them from danger. Physical Description: Sylphs tend to be pale and thin to the point of appearing delicate, but their skinny bodies are often more resilient than they look. Many sylphs can easily pass for humans with some effort, though the complex blue markings that swirl across their skin reveal their elemental ancestry. Sylphs also bear more subtle signs of their heritage, such as a slight breeze following them wherever they go. These signs become more pronounced as a sylph experiences intense passion or anger, spontaneous gusts of wind tousling the sylph’s hair or hot blusters knocking small items off of shelves. Liavara In addition to several large, populated moons, this peachcolored gas giant also has extensive dust rings and countless tiny shepherd moons. Through these rings swim vast oma space-whales, straining nutrients and tiny elementals from the dust with their energy baleen, while down in the planet’s cloud layers floats a complex ecosystem ranging from air plants and giant bacteria to apex predators such as deadly keji swarms or the infamous tarenake, visible only by the gas it displaces. As you descend into the planet’s denser cloud strata, predators get larger and more piscine, capturing prey with vampiric tentacles, magical fields, or acid-coated web nets. Many upper-layer creatures drop their gas-filled eggs through these layers into even deeper strata, where the eggs eventually reach neutral buoyancy and gestate in the increased heat and pressure, away from their usual predators. Arkanen Far more welcoming than Liavara itself are the planet’s independent moons. The most prominent of these is heavily populated Arkanen, which constantly bleeds off its atmosphere, only to replenish it each year when its eccentric orbit takes it through Liavara’s own upper atmosphere. Extremely dangerous storms arise as huge lightning bolts arc between the two worlds, harnessed by resident scientists and spellcasters alike. This orbit should be impossible according to normal physical models, which leads many to believe that the moon was built specifically as a power source. What the arcane dynamo might have been designed to power remains unknown. Arkanen is heavily populated and home to two native intelligent species: the dirindi and sazarons. Its annual orbital phenomenon is also a major draw for researchers and arcanists of all species across the Pact Worlds system. Story:
Zeph Zonda was born on Arkanen to parents who were descended from visitors from the Plane of Air. The story of how her original human and Outsider great grandparents met was lost during the Gap. Zeph mainly inherited her family language of Auran from her parents, who otherwise conformed to local customs and human culture. Like most of her race, Zeph was a shy child who observed her world more than she interacted with it. But she became most animated during storms and when her science teacher produced sparks of electricity from a machine. She loved the time each year when her home, a moon around the gas giant Liavara, passed into the gas of the parent planet, producing violent lightning storms.
Early in life, Zeph showed an aptitude for the arcane practices of witchwapers. She inherited this from her mother, who was a witchwarper and taught young Zeph to see into alternate realities and to draw effects from these realities to affect her surroundings. She used these talents mostly to avoid unwanted company, but she also learned to use spells that provided her with self-defense options. When she came of age, she developed a curiosity about the Pact Worlds and got a scholarship to study magic, life science and computers at the Arcanamirium. She graduated with honors and was hired by EJ Corporation as a science officer on star ships involved in exploration. Her aptitude for things electrical eventually got her assigned to a mission to explore a water world in the Vast. She formed a friendship with Shan, a brenneri construction worker. Zeph was eventually assigned to a freighter as the science officer and back-up Magic Officer. Description:
