name: Bahari (ocean)
race: Water + Shifter
gender: Male
preference: tbd
build: little, lithe
traits
sheltered For as long as he remembers, Bahari has been treated like a very precious, special creature. Thus far he has spent all his days inside the walls of an Oban noble’s manor, and has never had to suffer any real hardships. He’s always been spoken to gently, with all his needs and wants looked after without delay. Although he loves reading and learning about the history of Tendaji, he’s never come face to face with any of the difficulties and challenges that most people face, and it’s hard for him to grasp any of the cruelty, selfishness and injustice that others take for granted an an inevitable evil in the world. All these things are just abstract to him, as distant and personally irrelevant as the gods of Zena or Yael.
educated One of the benefits of growing up in luxury is the quality of the education -- and the access to a large private library -- that Bahari receives. Despite his young age, he’s already a proficient reader, and reading is pretty much his favorite pastime. Many of the books are still too complicated for him to parse, but the ones that he does understand are eagerly read from cover to cover. More than anything he loves books about the different lands in Tendaji, their religions and customs, their technology and agriculture, and so on… but he’s never even met anyone who wasn’t an Oban or a Water Earthling, and the latter he’s only seen as servants and labourers. So far, it hasn’t even occurred to him that he might want to go out and see all these things for himself… he’s been content to collect knowledge and parrot it back to his benefactors and their guests, much to their entertainment.
tempermantal A side-effect of being treated like a treasure, Bahari can come off as being quite impatient and spoiled. He simply doesn’t understand how much effort it really takes for those around him to give him whatever it is that he wants. If he can’t get a favorite treat in the middle of the night, or if he can’t get his hands on a rare book that just isn’t available in the local bookshops, he’s apt to throw a tantrum and sulk on his bed like a little angry god forsaken by his followers. At his age, however, these tantrums are quite fleeting and will soon be forgotten as soon as he finds something else to distract him.
history
childhood history Bahari is a pretty half-breed boy who lives a charmed life under the protection of a rich Oban noble. How did this come to be? The story is a little murky, and not at all as cheerful as his innocent smile would lead you to believe.
He was born in Matori, to a water earthling mother and a shifter father. They were delighted -- but before long, their ‘little pearl’ had caught the attention of black-market slave-traders, still trying to ply their trade in the wake of the emancipation of Matori slaves. They kidnapped the baby from his crib in the middle of the night, and whisked him off to the secretive markets in Oba. There, he was purchased (at steep high price) by a wealthy Oban noble who was fascinated by his odd appearance.
WIth slavery illegal, and increasingly frowned upon even by the Oban elite, Bahari isn’t exactly a slave -- he’s never been treated like one, he doesn’t do any work, and his Oban benefactor doesn’t claim to ‘own’ him. Instead, he’s treated more like a combination of a spoiled youngest son, a decoration, and a curious bit of entertainment. He is well-fed, educated, free to run and play as he wants to, and decorated like a doll with pretty jewelry. He recites poetry, chats with company, and sleeps, eats and plays together with the rest of his Oban ‘family’.
Like many noble Oban children, his access to the outside world is strictly limited. Unlike other nobles, however, his odd-colored skin wouldn’t even afford him the luxury of being able to sneak out very easily…. and his Benefactor does not like taking him out in public for fear of attracting negative attention. As a result, he has spent almost all of his life so far in the confines of the manor, and has only a very abstract understanding of the rest of the world.
today Bahari is still cooped up in the manor... and getting increasingly bored.

_________ ○ non-player characters | • player characters
Abie • A Matori man who came to the manor with a snaptrotter. Bahari liked him immediately, because he was kind, friendly, and introduced him to the beast. He answered all Bahari's questions about animals, and impressed on him the need to be gentle and kind. Bahari has taken the lesson to heart, and hopes Abie will really bring him a Janarim like the promised!
Beos, Sarii and Vahin ○ Buthos' three children. Beos, the oldest, was from his first marriage. Sarii and Vahin are Myranda's. Beos likes Bahari because he makes him feel better about being only half-related to the other kids. Vahin, being Bahari's age, is his best friend and playmate. Sarii, the middle daughter, is not particularly fond of him.
Buthos ○ Bahari's Oban benefactor. Buthos is a large, jovial Oban noble whose jolly grin and belly laugh hide any of the questionable activities he's been engaged with (in the present and the past). He's very fond of Bahari, and gives him lots of freedom to roam about the manour and do what he pleases (sometimes more than he affords his own children, whom he is grooming into nobles). He is very reluctant, however, to allow Bahari into the outside world.
Ichil • Bahari met Ichil when he was a youngling. It was at one of Buthos' frequent parties, to which Ichil's family had been invited. He was immediately curious about the woman, finding her to be nothing like Sarii and Myranda despite her status as a noblewoman. He hopes he'll get to see her again sometime... maybe when he's a bit older and allowed to spend more time outside the manour.
Myranda ○ The lady of the house, Buthos' second wife and the mother to two of his three children. Although she's not as fond of Bahari as her husband is, she does find the boy to be charming and entertaining, as long as he behaves well. She is the one who teaches him his manners and etiquette around guests.
