Appearance/Image:

Name: Sajan Kaur 
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Height/Weight: 163cm (5’4), 61kg (134lbs)

Personality: Sajan is a passionate woman with a strong sense of morality. For her, doing the right thing is not only something she has been instructed to do since birth but also a core tenant of her own personal philosophy. Her desire to do good can sometimes flow into a form of zealotry, however, and she is quite inflexible when it comes to her beliefs. She is also quick to anger, and will act rashly when it comes to things that offend her convictions. As a Sikh, she maintains many of the traditions and vows of her religion, though aside from the values associated with doing right by others, she is fairly relaxed in her approach to her faith.

Provided you haven’t crossed one of her moral boundaries, Sajan is a perfectly sociable person to be around. In fact, she is sociable to the point it might get annoying, as she likes to pepper those around her with questions to find out more about them. She considers it important to engage with any community she becomes a part of, although she does enjoy the mere act of getting to know a person just as much. In spite of her forwardness, she is at least considerate enough that she’ll back off if asked politely. If she finds she truly cannot stand someone’s company, assuming it isn’t because she thinks they’re a blackhearted wretch, then she’ll likely make up polite reasons to avoid them. 

Character Alignment: Neutral Good
Class Affinity: Archer

Background: Sajan was born in Amritsar city in the Punjab state of India. Raised as a Sikh, she adopted a strong moral conviction in line with the Sikh worldview. However, in addition to being devout Sikhs, her family is also one of Magi within Indian society. Sajan was educated in the fundamentals of Magecraft, though she was always reminded to use it humbly and purely for altruistic purposes. As she got older, she was eventually made what is known as a “Khalsa”, which meant she must adhere to some of the Sikh faith’s strictest traditions. While these traditions did not mean as much to her personally, it meant a lot to her family that she followed them, and so she did. Besides that, she rather enjoyed the prospect of being considered a sort of holy warrior charged with defending others from oppression.

Her family had connections to Magi in Japan, and were swiftly informed about the developing situation in Junyo. Sajan along with a few others were extolled to prepare to go there and assist the Muninn Foundation with its work. Sajan was more than eager to go; what finer purpose could there be than to defend humanity from a malicious entity? Taking time to learn some Japanese and prepare herself physically and mentally, Sajan would eventually depart India to take up residence in Junyo city for the foreseeable future. Inevitably, Sajan came upon a servant card much like many others were beginning to. To Sajan’s great amazement, the servant spirit she had come across was none other than the Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Guru of the Sikh faith and the creator of the Khalsa community. Sajan was sure there was something divine at work in this choice.

Occupation: Magus in the employ of Muninn
Known Magic (If Any): Sajan’s family traditionally uses Healing Magic, and Sajan was taught some basic healing techniques by them.

Special Talents/Hobbies:
-Sajan has been tutored in Shastar Vidya, an Indian martial art historically employed by Sikhs. She knows well how to use a Kirpan, the mandatory weapon of all Khalsa. 
-Sajan is fond of experiencing new cultures, particularly ones she has never heard of. The more obscure, the more interesting she finds it. 

Ambition: Sajan’s simple ambition is to see this crisis through to a conclusion that keeps the Earth free of the malicious forces from beyond.

Pavitara Kirpan – Sacred Sword. While many Sikhs carry a type of Kirpan, only Guru Gobind Singh carries the sword used to baptise the original five Khalsa.

Servant Biography: Born Gobind Rai, he became the tenth Sikh Guru open the death of his father Guru Tegh Bahadur at the hands of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb for his refusal to convert to Islam. Educated in martial arts as well as academic subjects, Gobind Rai grew to become an exceptionally competent leader. Ruling during a period of hostility between the Sikh community and the Mughal Empire, he personally lead the Sikh community in an extended war against them, and won many battles in his lifetime.

He is well known for his many contributions to the development of the Sikh faith. Chiefly among them is the foundation of the Khalsa community. He did so by gathering the Sikh community at a festival and asking for volunteers prepared to sacrifice their heads. Five men volunteered, one after the other, but the Guru revealed he had no intention of killing them. Instead, he named them the Panj Pyare (five beloved ones) and baptised them as the first of the Khalsa, making them warriors expected to draw their swords in defense of oppressed peoples everywhere, as well as beginning the tradition of baptised Sikhs being named Singh (for men) or Kaur (for women). After initiating them, the Guru had them initiate him, and so he formally became known as Guru Gobind Singh. 

Guru Gobind Singh was also a master archer. One tale narrates how an army was sent by Aurangzeb to surround the city of Anandpur Sahib, where the Guru and others were staying at the time. As two of the army’s generals Zabardast Khan and Wajir Khan, sat down to play a game of chess, Guru Gobind Singh shot an arrow into the leg of their chessboard from far away. Members of the army instantly recognised Gobind Singh’s distinctive gold arrowheads, and claimed he must have been the shooter. The generals dismissed this, believing none could shoot from so far away. They were also under the impression that the shooter had missed, until a second arrow landed in the same place as the last, this time carrying a message. It explained that Gobind Singh had no intention of killing them with his arrows, and had merely shot as a message; to demonstrate the resolve and skill of the Sikh people, and their intention to not surrender here.

Servant Personality: Guru Gobind Singh is a compassionate and pious man. In line with his Sikh beliefs, he only ever waged war in self defense, refusing to attack first even when an army stood directly before him. His arrows contained gold not as a vanity piece but so that those hit with his arrows might be recompensed to some degree, either being able to sell the gold for medicine if wounded or for the gold to go to their families should they die. While a devout Sikh, Gobind Singh did not hesitate to make changes where he thought things could be done better. Originally, every Sikh community was led by a person known as a Masand. Believing the Masands to have grown corrupt, Gobind Singh abolished their positions and replaced them with a centralized system under his Khalsa.
