Paipo, Son of Bafudo

An unusually large doeron who is nonetheless oddly dexterous for his size, Paipo, Son of Bafudo is rigid and distant in nature. Though he may come off as unfeeling to some, his aloofness is not without reason, and is not the face he shows to everyone. Indeed, to his daughter, he is a thoughtful and serene father, though he is certainly not as openly loving and doting as some parents might be.
==Background==
Originally from the Gili Isles, Paipo's childhood was wholly uneventful. He grew up as any doeron on the Isles might, with an entire island chain worth of family to support him. It wasn't until an odd foreigner showed up that anything changed for him. Paipo loved her, and she loved him in return. It was not long after she had an egg that she vanished.
Paipo was distraught. Family was everything to him, and he couldn't believe that she would abandon both himself and their child. He was certain that she had not left willingly. Perhaps she had drowned off the coast of the island? He couldn't know. Neither could the rest of the doeron on the Isles; though they were far less kind about their theories. It did not take long for disrespectful whispered rumors to spread.
He was unable to bear his family's words about her. He took the egg and traveled to Beyne. They wound up in Derrindo, where Paipo found work for a reot named Crank. He was a grumpy old fellow, though he took pity on Paipo and had a soft spot for his newly hatched child, Doji. More than once, when she was older, Paipo caught him teaching her how to create and operate explosives.
Despite her more volatile hobbies, Paipo taught his daughter everything he knew and loved about doeron culture. He was especially careful to teach her about the importance of family, and about the tradition of a soul gem. When Doji eventually left Beyne to search for her soul gem, Paipo remained behind. To this day, he still works for Crank, though not an hour passes without him wondering how his daughter is doing.
