Aragon Ji'had. At the moment you read this, the name probily means nothing
to you, does it not? Many have never even heard of the Ji'had lineage,
much less Aragon, son of Melissa. To tell of Aragon, one must start somewhere,
so I start by explaining the odd circumstances under which Aragon "retained"
the surname of Ji'had, and to explain that, I must explain Melissa.
Melissa is a medium level Sorceress, primarily dedicated to charming (which
is very easy for her, given her extraordinary looks) and healing, but
still skilled in other arts of magic. She is an only child, the quiet
type, the type you might find in a secluded forest, reading books from
previous ages, and rarely ever associating with a group of adventurers.
She never really took a great deal of interest in a man, until she fought
(yes, fought) a lowly thief named Jarl Threepenoak.
They met by chance one day as she was easing off the pains of one of the
few adventures she ever went on at a local pub. After Jarl failed to pickpocket
some of her hard earned gold, Melissa (who was in no mood for any trouble
of any kind, much less coming from a lowly thief) charmed young Jarl before
he could even get his hand clear of her sack! After leading him around
several places, she finally decided to take him in a alley, and make him
do odd things for her amusement. (After a long adventure, who could resist
a free, personal jester?) After making him do such stupid things as stand
on his head, and crawl around acting like a dog, she finally started talking
to him. This came to that, and then went all the way back to this again,
and she found herself back at the very same pub that it had all started
at, and very much intrigued by this young thief, who had been so bold
as to pick *her* pockets. (Or atleast try to, that is) After talking to
him for some time more, she began to realize that her spell had long sense
worn off, and he was beginning to take an interest in her on his own.
This came to that again, and they found themselves sharing beds many a
time, and developed a rather interesting relationship. However, when Jarl
heard that Melissa was with child, he began to sweat a little, and after
the child was born, he left with no trace. Melissa was a good natured
person, and didn't anger very easily, but this outraged her. After a while
(try 5 seconds) of thinking, she decided to dissolve any references to
Threepenoak, and so the child, Aragon, became a Ji'had, which subsequently
saved the Ji'had line. (Did I mention Melissa was an only child?)
Now on to Aragon. Aragon is currently a medium level Theif/Mage. Aragon
had always questioned about his father, and after he came of age, his
mother finally revealed her (somewhat) painful memories. Now Melissa,
being the Sorceress she was, had taught Aragon in the ways of magic from
his very first days, and he took to it with ease, as he was a boy of great
intelligence. However, once he learned of his father, he dedicated himself
to learning the ways of stealth, and thievery. He began questing as an
attempt to "broaden his horizons", and practice his new found skills,
and he took to it immediately. His friends quickly found him always talking
about this or that treasure, and how he was going to find the long lost
relic of so and so, and become the most powerful person in his town, even
exceeding the power of the elders! Of course, he is growing to be very
powerful indeed, and may actually rival the power of elders across the
lands one day, but for now, he is simply Aragon Ji'had.
