Name: JolantaStage: Prentice
Race: Yaeli
Future Class/Weapon: I'm thinking of him going swordsman, wielding a single sword, and sort of being a paladin-eqsue sort of guy. He wants to serve and protect the Sanctum so he'd be a bit of a 'holy knight' type.
Gender: Male
3 Base Traits: Serious, Overprotective, Zealous
Personality:
Jolanta is the sort that is very dedicated to the cause that he is taken up since becoming a prentice, zealously so in fact, wanting nothing more then to do whatever it takes to keep the people of the Sanctum safe. He is the sort that always seems to have a serious, stoic sort of look about him, rarely cracking a smile. He feels that jokes and play can be left to those who aren't seeking to go down the path that he is going down.
If he is asked to do something by a member of the Sanctum Jol is willing to put his all into any request that is given to him. It doesn't matter how big or how small he is willing to do everything and anything to the best of his abilities. If it will make those he wants to serve happy then he's more then willing to do his best to fulfill their requests.
If a request involves any risk to his person its a risk that he is willing to take, feeling that he owes everything to the Sanctum. What is a wound or two if it means making the people that saved him happy? He feels that he can always visit a healer and get patched up and be back to work the moment he's on his feet again. The idea of taking it easy never really occurs to him.
History:
Jolanta is a very serious young man, one who has a single minded desire to do one thing, that being to become a guardian of the Sanctum. Since the outsiders arrived on Yael his desire has own grown that much stronger as he sees those from outside the village as a threat but that wasn't what started him on such a path. Due to various things that happened when Jol was a child it was thought that he was in fact cursed.
The youngling seemed to be accident prone, often seemingly tripping over nothing, getting lost in the forest even when sent on the easiest of tasks, and even nearly getting trampled by a Limbara that was far from its normal hunting grounds. It were as though nature itself were against the poor boy and as such brought to the Sanctum to be inspected and given a blessing in order to cure him of his curse. His family wanted Jol to be able to lead a normal life, one that didn't involve so many incidents to pile up one after the other, and before the curse was able to kill him. In fact after all he went through he was lucky enough to be left with only the one pronounced scar on his back as a reminder of his dark past.
Once he became a prentice Jolanta moved from Ilidan where he lived his parents so that he could live with one of his aunts in Pajore to be closer to the Sanctum. His parents weren't exactly certain about him going off to Pajore to live with his aunt at first, given the way that he grew up they were fairly over protective of him even after he went to have his curse lifted by those in the Sanctum. It was the fact that he was so adamant about it, to the point of being ready to go without their blessing, that they even allowed him to go.They try to visit as often as they can, wanting to check up on him, and when they aren't able to make it they send him letters with others who make the trek between the villages.
His reasoning for going is simple to him, it's that it was the intervention and hard work of the Priests and Priestesses at the Sanctum was able to help him break free of his curse. The fact that he is still alive and in one piece is something that he attributes to the Sanctum and those who live within it. They are the reason that he is still walking around and its something that makes him want nothing more then to work for them and protect them in any capacity that they deem him worthy of. No matter what they might ask him, even the most menial of fetch quests or an escort around the village, he is willing to do anything and everything for them.
He isn't even the sort of question their requests either, willing to step up and do anything that is asked of him. It's something that leaves him a bit open for teasing on their part though but even that he allows. If it makes them happy then he's happy, though it can be hard to tell at points since he takes everything so seriously.
Jol plans to become a warrior, wanting to be someone that can devote his entire being to those in the Sanctum. He will be their sword if that is what is required of him, especially now that it's come to light that the Alkidike that were banished to Yael are growing in numbers. It seems that the best thing for him to do in such days when the threats are gathering on various fronts is to take up a weapon and protect those who can't due to their serving the Sanctum. If he can stand between the Priests and Priestesses and anything threats that come their way, if he can take any wounds meant for them upon his own person, then he would be happy. To die so that they can live feels like a fair trade given his life is owed to them.
Presently he sort of lumps everyone together. Either they are outsiders (non-Yaelian) and a threat or they are his tribe and those that he wants to protect. He won't exactly be welcoming to those from the Mainland, especially if they approach any of those he's wanting to protect. If he's on his own there is a possibility that they might be able to try to talk to him but he would be fairly standoffish and more then ready to draw his weapon if he felt even the least bit threatened.
With time he might learn that there are various layers to the outsiders, that some are worse then others, but at the moment they are all one in the same in his mind.
