<blockquote data-quote="Fenris" data-source="post: 3616255" data-attributes="member: 2820">Jonas Kewiczak Background[sblock]Jonas was the son of a hard working Shiv named Elias Kewiczak. Elias was one of only a handful of humans in the Shiv. The Shiv needed a few of they called &quot;Long Shiv&quot; around to work the cranes at the docks unloading the ships there with the large cranes, the controls of whcih were too hard for the smaller Shiv to work. Jonas grew up in the 2nd Ward. But he liked to consider himself a native of many Wards. His father would often take him out with him for deliveries when he had to unload carts using special hand cranes that only the few human Shiv could use. Jonas enjoyed seeing all the different sights the Great City of Lauralie Summerhome had to offer, above and below ground. It was a special treat for Jonas when he got to travel on the Understreets. He enjoyed seeing the different buildings, people and food that made each Ward unique. Even more so he enjoyed standing at his father’s elbow as he made the rounds, listening to the conversations, and getting to know all the many people Elias knew.Jonas had a very happy childhood growing up. He loved traveling the city and learning what was going on in the different part. What building was new, who was opening a restaurant, even who was cheating on who (well, when he was older that was more interesting). Jonas was a lively and talkative lad who others found a liking to, especially after he was introduced by his father.Jonas was growing up and the time was approaching for him to take an apprenticeship. He was considering becoming a storyteller and enrolling at one of the bardic colleges, since he loved to talk to people. While he loved to learn new things, nothing in books seemed to appeal to him. His father of course wanted Jonas to join the Guild and be a Shiv like him. Jonas was considering that as he respected his father a great deal and the work he did, especially since it would still let him head to different parts of the city.All that changed one snowy winter day. One of the few trips Elias didn’t let Jonas go on, was a dangerous trip on the Understreets, that had to pass under Ward 3 on the replacement Old Main Line into Ward 11. Elias was traveling with a crotchety old gnome named Brongnibum. They were transporting some precious cargo in the form of various pieces of art and Elias was nervous when he left that day. Another Shiv found Elias and Brongnibum later that day, battered and bloody and their train wrecked and plundered. The Shivs took great care of the family during the time it took Elias to get healed and back on his feet, and Jonas was very grateful to the Guild. But he was getting annoyed at the Constabulary. Instead of being out there looking for the criminals, they spent, what he thought, was far too much time questioning his father and Brongnibum. The authorities suspected Brongnibum and or Elias had staged or was in league with these brigands who stole the cargo. Jonas didn’t believe it for a minute. And if the Constables weren’t going to find them, then by Barcarus he would. And so Jonas set out to clear his father’s name. Of course he wasn’t sure how really. But he started the only place he knew, the site of the attack. Once there he started looking around, but didn’t find anything. He sat and pondered what to do. He headed up to a pawn shop his father had taken him to, and started casually asking questions. Jonas proceeded in this vein for a while and slowly a few leads started to come out. His father’s fuzzy recollections of the attack combined with a few clues he got lead him to a run down building in Ward 3. He was watching the building closely when a heavy had was laid upon his shoulder, startled he turned to see a dark man with his finger over his mouth for silence. Jonas stammered out an explanation to this stranger upon intense questioning. The man stared at Jonas and then a rare, small smile cracked his face “Not bad kid” was all he said. Jonas had met Shilon, a tracker and private investigator. Some of the owners of the art had hired Shilon to find their art, whoever had it. Shilon had tracked the perpetrators back to this hide out. He was impressed that Jonas had made it here as well and recognized a keen mind in this youth. Once they determined that bandits were inside, they summoned the Ward 3 Special Squad and watched as they raided the place. The art was inside, except for a few pieces that had been fenced, those were part of what lead Jonas here. His fathers name cleared, Jonas was free to pick his apprenticeship. Not surprisingly he chose to train with Shilon. Well once he found him that is. That was Shilon’s entrance exam, to find him in the city. It took Jonas 5 full weeks, but he did finally find Shilon, in a pub, waiting for him. Over the next few years Shilon taught Jonas many of the skills need to be a tracker, how to silently sneak up on your mark, how to use a bow and sword when needed (and there were many times they were needed). Jonas did have his own unique talents. Shilon had this uncanny ability to find footprints and signs of travel that Jonas could never quite master. He did however have a greater affinity for people and used his glibness and contacts to find out many things that weren’t told in Shilon’s tracks. Jonas grew into a well trained investigator and made a good living with Shilon finding things and people that those willing to pay wanted found. They had been staking out a house where a bugbear was reputed to be living outside the Damnit Wall in the 3rd Ward and had been mugging passersby. The bugbear appeared in the door and waved in their direction, they had been spotted. But it was a signal and Shilon and Jonas were set upon by a gang of Half-Orcrats, they fought off as many as they could but in the end there were too many. Shilon held them off and told Jonas to run. Looking back, Jonas saw Shilon fall to the pack. Tears blurred his vision as he ran out of Ward 3.The loss of his mentor, the attack on his father, the generosity of the Guild all played a part in Jonas’ next decision. He wanted to fight crime, to solve these crimes, but a lone man was very vulnerable. The Guild had always said “The strength of many, the courage of a few”. Jonas needed the many. He knew that he could make a difference, but he needed a partner, no he had had a partner, he needed more. He was pondering how to find, assemble and train a large group of investigators to do this. He was sitting in the Oar and Cutlass drinking a pint, when his eye rested upon a poster:“The 14th ward needs you!Men and Women of action, Ignatious Ironshirt, Magistrate of the 14th Ward is looking for qualified applicants to protect the peace and good order. The special investigative squad is in need of new recruits. Guard, Military, Watch, or Investigative experience preferred but not required.
