Jorn Tauloppo

<:B

Jorn Tauloppo is a prudemagus and previously a citizen of Scadam located on the northwestern shore of Kies Point. Her husband, Brandt Tauloppo, was the mayor of Scadam until he became entangled in a scandal involving speculative stories of a local news reporter, **Happ Anderson**. Jorn was away at the time and learned after returning that Brandt has perished in prison as a result of Andersons and the rest of Scadams actions. Jorn sought revenge by allying with Troll bandit **Edgewater**, who took over Scadam and took it's citizens hostage. Jorn started having second thoughts and after Edgewaters bandits were driven out of Scadam she parted ways with the troll to figure out what to do for herself. Short time later she met with Joey Donuts, who was looking for information regarding Edgewaters whereabouts and interest in hiring Jorn for his potion company, Cold Iron.

## Personality

From what we have seen so far Jorn seems to be eager and cheerful if a little unfocussed. Whatever hardships she has been through, she seems to have come out the other side stronger. She seems to have gotten closure on her husbands death and is ready to turn over a new life and start leaf anew. Or however that goes. She has made specific mention of being Magical Lawful Good or MLG for short. We can safely assume that Jorn is capable of losing her temper and going too far in a few places but those days are behind her. Right behind her. Or not. She's fine. She's good. She's just looking for some fools to rinse.

## Role

As a Prudemagus, Jorn is capable of channelling the energy of pure magic into everyday items useful for everyday adventuring. Food, water, bedding, sweet shades - the list goes on. For a longer adventure in unknown territories or the wilds Jorn will prove invaluable for any adventurer on a budget. Some of her incredibly nerdy magic powers can also have an unexpected combat application.

In combat Jorn is exclusively a hand to hand fighter. Nothing like as strong as Richter but more nuanced as a martial artist capable of targeted and cost effective damage. Jorn has a vengeful personality type meaning the more damage she takes from opponents, the more damage she does until the fight is over or she is knocked unconcious.

Outside of battle Jorn is a business adviser. While she has changed career and has little interest in the subject she will steer you in the right direction if you're ever unsure. Jorn is eager to make up for the trouble she caused the party earlier and will generally set about any task she is asked to.

## Trivia

Jorn has a particularly indolent loaf cat named Lettuce

Her attacks are lettuce themed, in association with Rinoas attacks in FF8 often being associated with her pet. Truthfully though, endive, rocket and kale are not truly lettuce. Rocket and kale are of the brasica family like cauliflower and broccoli and I think endive is related to whitlof or something. Whitlof is what Australians call chicory.

Some of Jorns speech patterns and general positivity and eagerness for tussles are based on Sip's playthrough of Fallout 1

The name Jorn Tauloppo comes from bad subtitle of someone yelling "John Travolta" in an anime. It was a placeholder name that stuck.
