[b]Name and/or Alias(es):[/b] Jahho-Pekka Seppänen

[b]Age:[/b] 38

[b]Sex:[/b] male

[b]Occupation:[/b] (artistic) Photographer

[b]Race and Origin:[/b] Jahho-Pekka – as his name may have already suggested – was born up in the north. Well, not exactly Lappland (Finns having to smile at this point), but in Finland. I thought of him still living there but should it be more convenient to the plot, I could easily have him and his family having moved elsewhere.
...and as long as he can tell he is pretty much human. 

[b]Appearance:[/b] When it comes to looks, Jahho-Pekka is quite the average – at least among Finns – with his brown hair, neither too dark nor too light, and the grey eyes that come with the hair. He is also neither tall nor short with his 1.86 m of height, along with the 94 kg of mass he carries around, enough to give him a small beer belly around the waist. So the first thing which might catch your attention when seeing him for the first time would most probably be the long dreadlocks around his slightly big head or the occasional earrings and/or ear piercings he cares to wear.

[b]Equipment:[/b] From the casual pocket camera to professional ones with gigantic lenses for every purpose or smaller ones attachable to various kinds of material. 
One could also take his various shinais and Kendo-gear into account. (He will have his 4th Dan exam pretty soon.) 

[b]Abilities/Talents:[/b] Jahho-Pekka discovered during his school time his affinity with electromagnetic oscillations. Having mastered his way with light as a kind of electromagnetic oscillation, it has allowed him to make exquisite photos some of which resemble dreams.

[b]History:[/b] Jahho-Pekka was born in Turku-Finnland and grew up as the middle child between two others. With his father being a musician his artistic side was nurtured from very young age, while his mother kept trying to convince him of learning a craft which was more capable of bringing bread to the table. Finding out about his »oscillation magic« - Oskillaattorinoituus or Oskkinoituus as they named it, whether it was one of his siblings or friends, he does not remember any more – gave mum exactly what she had been waiting for. So after graduation from high school he applied for electronics (engineering) on the university of Turku. A slight sense of adventure and a desire to see the world took him to the States, Poland and Norway for further studies. Although he graduated with a master's degree in Optics (Physics) ten years ago, he never intended to pursue science, technology or much less industrial development as a carrier. Thanks to his physical understanding of light though, Jahho-Pekka was able to become a much better photograph with a sharper eye than he could have hoped to become with having only studied the art. It goes without saying that he did take photography courses and workshops every now and then. About eight years ago he came back to Finland and settled down.
His life has also another history, a nightmare haunting him for about two decades. It came about because of his greatest hobby since the age of 14: Kendo. Wanting to play somewhat a fusion between a Viking and a samurai, Jahho-Pekka started with the martial sport one year sooner, yet he was 14 when he knew he did not ever want to stop practising Kendo, even should he not be fit for championships. Having found a Sensei like out of a dream did naturally help with the notion and with the bond he felt to the inherited ways of the sword. Arashida Sensei was one of those people born to become teachers, which made him run the courses at the dojo while his wife was a much fiercer Kendoka. Having grown fond and close to the couple, Jahho-Pekka - along with some other pupils – shared their grief and pain when they lost their people along with many loved ones. The incident turned Jahho-Pekka's attention towards poets and it was not the appreciated kind of attention. He knew then, he was going to hate poets for the rest of his life. He knew poetry was a wretched profession, passion or whatever these people took it for and he knew he wanted someday to see the end of this lot in the name of justice. So he took it upon him to raise awareness of the no longer silent danger lurking along. He was still studying for his bachelor's degree in Turku when he started the Campaign and tried to reach people all over the world. He has been active ever since, trying to make people see the true danger which lies in poetry, the vicious ways of the poets and trying to organize them in identifying poets. After all he is the father of two now and the last thing he would want is for his children to grow up in the world with »them«.
