Jargon

History

Jargon grew up in a typical village of the Eladrin. He had two caring parents who were both honest workers, Efelte (Eff El Tee) his father and Eueno (U no) his mother. Efelte was a blacksmith and Eueno an alchemist. Their house was more than modest for the most part. They had everything they could want and a little more. Efelte and Eueno had tried for many months to bear a child with no luck. After years of praying, Jargon was born. Jargon was a happy baby and the littlest things seemed to amuse him. At a very young age, he showed a high aptitude towards blacksmithing which pleased his father immensely. Jargon would be able to have a very prosperous life but this was short lived.

At the age of 8, Jargon came in for lunch one day and found Eueno lying on the ground, passed out from inhaling one of her toxins she was working with. In a panic, Jargon rushes to get help and knocks over a table full and becomes covered in many of his mother's virulent toxins. Efelte shortly arrives after Jargon and see's the both of them on the ground. He quickly pulls them both out of the room and shouts for help. The doctor arrives as quickly as he can but there is only so much one man can do. Eueno was in a coma for about a week. Jargon was not so lucky. He was covered in burns all over his body yet somehow his face was unscathed and was in a coma. During this time, Efelte let his work build up and customers left him because he was at his son's side. Eueno worked tirelessly in trying to create a potion to help cure her son but because so many toxins had fallen on Jargon, she could not help him. Eueno, feeling guilty she caused Jargon's pain, gave up being an alchemist, her one dream in life. With no more steady income, they went from being one of the wealthier families in all of the Great Dale to one of the poorest. Due to Efelte's lack of effort and time in his blacksmith, the quality of armor and weaponry seriously deteriorated. 6 months later, Jargon had awoken from his coma. Jargon's body had deformed due to the immense burns. Jargon's parents knew he wouldn't have that ideal life they had planned for him.

For the following years, they tried many methods to heal Jargon's wounds but the only thing they could do was increase his mobility, which they were extremely grateful for. In fact his mobility increased so much, Efelte taught Jargon how to fight with a Bo staff. Jargon's father said to him "There comes a time in everyones life where they must decide, do I use a stick or my words to solve a problem." And considering Jargon was no word smith, his father felt he better stick with his Bo.

Most people in this situation would feel sorry for Jargon and his family but the younger generation made fun of him because he was now different in their eyes. Jargon was now nothing like his peers and everyone of them made it a point to tell Jargon about it. They even gave him the name Jargon because they could never understand what he was saying due to his extremely noticeable stutter cause by inhaling the toxins. This forced him to keep to himself. He would rather not talk to these people than be ridiculed for who he was.

At the age of 18, the other Eladrin people were still making fun of him about his deformed stature, his weight problem and his stutter. By now most would believe that Jargon would have gotten used to this, but he actually developed a serious anger problem as a defense mechanism. The Villagers in town would go out of their way to get him to talk. They would even pull nasty tricks on him.
