## Background

Padmana was born into a poor family in a worker-caste Indian republic in the expansive slums surrounding Hyderabad. He was raised to believe he had no hope of ever rising in the ranks. Growing up, he was always treated poorly by the Kshatriyas (warrior caste) despite the admiration he had for them. He was constantly picked on by the other children and even some of the adults. There was one warrior caste that at least did not discourage him. To Padmana, the Ork emphasizes the key aspects of the warrior caste that he never would obtain.

Padmana was determined to make something of himself, though. He worked hard in school, hoping to make the most of his education and prove everyone wrong. He was determined to earn respect and be accepted by the warrior or merchant caste members for the potential of securing sponsorship and a chance for a better life. An interesting event occurred with the return of Halley's Comet and the appearance of Nartika and changing in the image of Shiva himself.  Any of these members were immediately advanced to the cleric cast but Padmana was not one of these lucky few.

Unfortunately, Padmana's hard work went largely unrecognized. He graduated from high school, but his grades were not good enough to get accepted into a college. Frustrated and feeling like a failure, Padmana decided to take matters into his own hands. He began an extensive working odd jobs labor jobs and was doing well for himself until a turning point came with a presidential visit to the area. Suddenly there was a great deal more security, During the next day when Padmana was finishing a job he was detained by police. His world changed forever with questions the security team asked. "Why don't you have a mage license?"

It turns out that government has some local corruption that was neglected in the important search for magic personnel in Hyderabad's poorest slums especially of the lower cast, but to be undiscovered for at least 5 years after awakening was both astonishing and shameful for the local government. Padmana was heavily fined for the mistake and forced to enroll in a school with kids 6 to 10 years younger. While feeling wronged by his treatment Padmana, unfortunately, continued to struggle to identify his tradition but was able to win the hearts of his younger peers.

Just three months later he was given notice that he was being kicked out of the school to be employed to pay off his debt.  To further complicate the issue Padmana was starting to feel disgusted by the widespread continued destruction of plant life to fuel the slums.

A second turning point in his life occurred with a chance meeting when he was visiting the Sammakka-Saralamma temple for inspiration. The great plant spirit of Holland Hara manifested curiosity about Padmana's mana signature. Holland Hara was a harsh taskmaster but an effective teacher. In just three months almost fully trained but left Padmana both Karma and Nuyen starved. His teacher basically demanded Padmana complete a Shadowrun to gain more karma to complete his teaching as the great spirit would soon depart.

With next to no equipment Padmana was able to mimic an employee and walk his way into a security lab and walk out the target sample that display both great skill,  luck, and lack of security awareness.  The run's Ork decker took pity on Padmana and send a Shadows how to be a Runner 101 batch file.  Padmana returned to the great spirit to complete his training.  Another month later Padmana completed his training. Instead of returning to a slow grind of shunned mage, he saw great promise in the potential of Shadowrun to develop himself. After preparing himself he started to take more Shadowrun while upkeeping the great works of the green man. Unfortunately, the shadow community of the Indian republic is small and soon Padmana was off to larger scenes to both develop himself and spread the teachings of Holland Hara.

He arrive in Seattle 2 years ago and started to take an intensive language training program that involved emulating students into various classes. Likely due to Amal admiration of Orks in his youth, Amal develop the tendency of appearing as an Ork for the initial run meeting in Seattle.

Once Padmana active for several months now and has developed links to several key personnel in the area. He has also started or reinforced several programs for green space protection and expansion in the area, he enjoys spending time expanding green space directly or indirectly.

## Narrative Significant Qualities

* Mentor Spirt (Green Man) - Padmana will normally try to stop any significant destruction of green space or plants by direct or indirect actions.
* Spirit Whisperer: It Started the Great Spirit Holland Hara. Spirits seam interested in him.
* Dependent (Inconvenience) All of those tree planting groups need some organization, protection and sometime tough love.
* Favored (Specific Target, Biased) Nartaki and Shiva Changeling were being of worship in my youth. I still provide them with with the respect they deserve.
* Ork Poser: I always idolize Ork as the best members of the Warrior Caste. Now I can now I can take their appearance, but I still have so much to learn from them.
* SINner (National) Amal Signha (Indian republic) Got to be from somewhere.
* Qualities I'd love to see GMs hit include Ork Poser and if time permits Green man in my games
