Ho-Parr

Ho-Parr, the Traveller, is a wandering nomad who is currently travelling the land of Aefex in search of ingredients to recreate a soup recipe he lost after the Arklight's shattering.

## Lore

### Backstory

Ho-Parr grew up in a very food foward society. Deep within the undergroves of the swamps and jungles of Myansau, there exist many small pocket groves that allow for many small forest dwelling societies to flourish. These small pocket groves, established all the way back in the first age to provide safe spaces to those fleeing the tyranny of the Blessed Children, still persist to this day: and now, house a myriad of non-human mortals just trying to live their lives out comfortably. As such, camaraderie was a core value growing up in these small groves. And one thing that helped grow this sense of camaraderie was food.

Meal times were always a time of joy and celebration, as various different families would bring together their favourite dishes with influences from their various different cultures and backgrounds. Blistered bogapple curry, stewed bogstrider, deep fried nightfall bloom flowers: Ho-Parr grew up on all of these dishes and many more. He would record the recipes of the various dishes he would try and hear from fellow travelling friends, putting them up in his home. On occassion, he would travel out to the other groves and discover their recipes. Tasting all of their wonderful dishes, and then returning home to record then reminisce about the various flavors he had just enjoyed: that was the peak of life.

When the Arklight shattered, and the world was set on fire: Ho-Parr and his grove made it relatively off scott free. No casualities, with a few injuries, and a few objects here and there being corrupted and altered: as far as things went, this was a pretty good outcome for the grove. But to Ho-Parr, the collateral effects of the Arklight were as tragic as anything could possibly be.

All of his recipe logs had been spared damage. All but one, which was absolutely tarnished. Shattered into pieces on the floor as if it had been written on seaglass and not parchment, its words were scrambled beyond saving: save for a little doodle in the corner. Ho-Parr recognised it instantly: it was an old childhood favourite of his, a warm bowl of soup. But what was this soup called, what was in this particular soup? The answer gnawed at him, until Ho-Parr decided. "Frog all that". Adorning his trusty backpack, a map, and some other of his recipes, he set off into the now shattered world to find out exactly what this soup of his was.

### Recent Events

He is still looking for the recipe of his soup.

## Personality

Ho-Parr is extremely food motivated, being an absolute glutton. If food is involved, Ho-Parr is probably interested. Unfortunately, this also does run the risk of being counter productive, as if food isn't involved: Ho-Parr doesn't often stay interested for very long.

However, this food orientated thinking does have its benefits. Ho-Parr as a result of his culinary adventures, is extremely detailed orientated in order to understand and appreciate recipes better. He is also very creative and open minded, being able to take in a wide variety of perspectives and ideas in order to expand his own.

## Trivia

* Ho-Parr's tongue can extend a maximum of around four meters in length.

## Development Notes

* Ho-Parr's development was initially kickstarted by the idea of a frog character to the world to add a unique character that wasn't just entirely another humanoid character.
	+ This idea of a frog was inspired by the characters of Ranno and Greninja.
