Jigme the Burdened
Mr. Jigme Bahadur
Written by: Null Kit
Whilst enviromentalism and ecoterrorism are far from unheard-of occurences in the sixth world, few metahumans stereotypically take to such causes with the ferocity and zeal as Shamans, those individuals who feel that their awakening connects them to life and nature in ways that others cannot fathom, and as such feel personally motivated to ensure the balance of harmony or respecting mother-earth, or something like that.Sorry, we'd get Ursa Minor to read this out but Null's the only one who actually knows enough about this particular guy to write this down. Try your best to ignore his ignorance.Few Shamans embody this stereotype more than the Ork known as Jigme Bahadur, or 'Jigme the Burdened', so named because he considers himself burdened with the terrible knowledge of how badly the biosphere around the greater Raleigh area has been damaged and tainted by rampant polution and expansion by government and corporate entities alike, and burdened with the self-imposed task of bringing the area back into balance by any means necessary. Though nominally a member of the Nuclear Warlocks and occasional resident of their hideout at the RUG 107.9 Radio Station, Jigme is quite open about seeing himself as seperate from them, providing his services as a frighteningly talented shaman in exchange for funding and occasional manpower for his own enviromental causes, and otherwise only willingly associating with those who follow his ideology or are willing to offer their services in furthering his goals of natural harmony, even if the latter's own motivations are purely mercenary, offering reimbursment primarily through rare and expensive arcane commodities of substantial value to magical practitioners. Make no mistake: JIgme wholeheartedly believes in his cause being a righteous one, and affects the air of an calm, level-headed enviromentalist, but his conviction in such righteousness means he is more than willing to take to brutal and detructive acts in the name of giving nature its overdue respect, and is more than willing to meet and talk with others in the heart of the Concrete Forest without fear for a very good reason.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
On cursory inspection, Jigme appears to be a physically fit Ork in his middle-age, but if the metrics on his criminal SIN are to be believed, he is of the rare variety of Ork who has maintained a human lifespan, putting him in his late 50s. Unsurprisingly, Jigme's body is free of any cybernetics, and posesses extensive tatooing with symbology matching known symbols associated with Bhutanese Buddhism.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
In spite of him having a publically known Criminal SiN under the Renraku corp, very little is known of Jigme before he began his crusade in Raleigh: No family, no recorded education, and only a brief mention of having once held a job as an 'ecological analytics consultant' in a Renraku based subsidiary in his home-nation of Bhutan, complete with a photo of a moderately younger Jigme in glasses and business-casual clothing (<LINK>).
Jigme's criminal SIN and identity in general were made known to the public via several law-enforcement and corpsec bulletins in 2078 when, in retaliation for the 'Hell Rain' incident in which a multitude of SINless in the Concrete Forest were killed as a result of catastrophic misuse of Compound CR-617, Jigme masterminded the kidnapping and killing of several members of the SK subsidiary Bouygues, by way of forcing them to inhale the compound's deadly byproducts themselves in a form of karmic justice. This act was far from the first or worst that jigme had been a part of by that time, but the evidence that incontrovertibly proved him to have overseen the crime was also used to link him to over a dozen acts of criminal activities and acts of ecoterrorism stretching all the way back to 2073.
In spite of this uncovering and the sizeable bounty attached, Jigme has not taken any further measure to obfuscate his presence to the authorities, and in fact has been capitalising on his newfound infamy, using his reputation as a 'cold-blooded green anarchist' (quote courtesy of SK's media outlets) to make more connections with Raleigh's shaman and enviromentalist groupds to further his own cause. Only time will tell what this leads to...
