Seiva Zeni

(I'm working on it)

Seiva Zeni is a planebound technician and bioaetherist from Entela, Volaria. She's the progenitor of the Aether Tunnels used by Entela to travel the planes, discovered the Aether Resonance Frequency used by a number of spells and technologies, and currently acts as the head advisor of the Eternity Project for Interplanar Cooperation.

Early life
Seiva was born to two members of the Entelan military in 355 VY (56 PM). She spent the first 9 years of her living an average life for an Entelan child: learning magic, going to school, and learning to write, albeit far faster than most of her peers. During 364 VY (65 PM), she met an author she aspired to be like, Arina Blue. She knew Arina for her fiction writing and simplistic descriptions of spellcraft. Arina didn't have many friends in Entela, so Seiva and some of her friends had a lot of time to talk with her. Later in the same year, Arina was outed as being from Shaidosta, and since the city was an enemy of Entela at the time, suspicions about her purpose were raised. Even after learning that Arina was actually 'Arina Nisita', the daughter of the current Master of Shaidosta, Seiva had faith that she was here for good reasons, and Seiva was trusted to keep it a secret.

Seiva sought Arina's help with her writing and spellcasting. During a training session with her magic, a pair of Entelan enforcers came to arrest Arina on suspicion of treason. During this engagement, they also identified Seiva as a threat to Entela and moved to arrest her for helping obfuscate Arina's identity. Master Elega of Entela arrived to defuse the situation, noting that this arrest represented a 'failure in Entelan administration' and that Arina was actually already granted Entelan citizenship. Seiva, Sara, Fulmen, and Arina were all pardoned for any crimes related to Arina's identity.

When Arina was 'killed' and war started in Entela, Seiva worked harder at her studies to prove she could be valuable in the future. She trusted Sara's judgment when everyone was told to evacuate to the underground of Entela. She convinced every one of her friends and family that Sara knew what she was talking about, saving their lives when only 12 hours later, the surface of Entela was erased. Seiva's parents were among the first following casualties. The patrol containing the two of them was attacked by surprise by Mirora, a city that was at the time unknown to be allied with the Triumvirate. Sara tried to find a place for her in Entela's system for orphaned youth, but due to the density of students that were underground for classes compared to the parents that didn't evacuate the surface, no one involved in the program could take Seiva. Instead, Seiva ended up as the responsibility of Fulmen, even though it seemed to her that he needed more help than she did. Being 9, Seiva played no further part in the war, even when Fulmen intended to.

The Integration of Aether Tunneling
In 369 VY (70 PM), Seiva was selected by Master Sara to work alongside a government project as a student, in hopes she could learn more from it than her classes could teach her. Built on the foundation of information Fulmen discovered while attempting to find Arina, this project, titled the Eternity Project for Interplanar Development, had the goal of somehow breaking through the edge of the world and enabling Entela to travel to other planes. Feeling like she could finally do something important, Seiva accepted.

On the project, Seiva was listed as a bioaetherics and material effects student. Her duties, when she wasn't busy with some classes, included running calculations, shadowing the primary bioaetherics specialist, finding research documents, and helping to make sure the experiments with high amounts of aether didn't hurt everyone involved. While she didn't understand the engineering involved at first, she quickly became absorbed in understanding how their devices worked, and while the creation and modification of the spell cannon they used was a group project, Seiva was the only person on the team that might be able to recreate it from nothing.

In 375 VY (76 PM), having done enough engineering that maybe the cannon might work as intended, the Eternity Project began their first trials to actually pierce the edge of the world. Their goal: strike the aether of the blind eternities with a spell that would be able to eat the aether faster than it could fill in from the outside. This required setting up an entire research station in the middle of the ocean and living there for months on end. Seiva had no part to play in the construction of that station, but it didn't stop her from looking over the plans and asking why certain things were and weren't reinforced.

In late 377 VY (78 PM), while helping others run calculations and having grown into some of the duties of the other specialists, Seiva noticed two facts about the aether: it reacted oddly to very specific combinations and concentrations of magic, and it oscillated with some frequency. Neither of these seemed to be particularly stand-out pieces of information -- the former was well understood as part of their research, and the latter was utilized as a method of generating aether. Seiva observed that the concept of 'aether resonance' and oscillation never given a defined frequency, and so she worked to define it based on the results of the project's experiments. This definition lead to the first successful test of the aether tunneling spell cannon. Seiva's published her findings in a paper titled The Integration of Aether Tunneling.

Following the completion of the first aether tunnel, the head of the Eternity Project stepped down, leaving the space vacant. After consulting with the previous head and the rest of her team, Master Sara offered the position to Seiva for the continuation of the Eternity Project's plans: Making sure the tunnel was suited for travel by living things, and then making sure the destinations were survivable by Volarians. Seiva was more than happy to accept.

The Outer Volarian Outpost
During the beginnings of the next phase of the Eternity Project, Seiva's team discovered that not only was there more land on Volaria outside of their single island, it had been previously settled, with a seemingly decrepit structure being the only sign of previous intelligence. A scout party of two people was sent first to ensure that a return Tunnel could be constructed, and then Seiva and a core engineer were sent to aid with salvaging whatever structure was out here. The structure was Entelan in nature, using many of the same conduits they used, and it had a broken link to Deep Storage. This was an outpost even before the Mending, and the information it contained was significant: Volaria was artificial, and decaying. Within the next 200 years, the plane would be no more. This discovery lead Seiva to consult with Master Sara and, keeping this discovery secret from anyone that wasn't there, pushed to expand the Eternity Project to include the settlement of other planes.

The Eternity Project for Interplanar Cooperation
As part of the primary goals of the Eternity Project for Interplanar Development, Seiva's team needed to understand how to avoid Volarians dying when they don't have aether around. This led the project to The Arena, a location filled with planeswalkers that might know more about the other planes, and one that Arina and Fulmen had spent a lot of time on. Seiva arrived on the plane early to assist with the construction of the aether tunnel. Most of her time spent alone on the plane was spent meeting its inhabitants. The rest of it was spent discussing with the Seventh Circle Initiative to determine how best to reach Entela's goal without being considered an 'interplanar threat of imperialism'. During this time, the Eternity Project's name was changed from "Interplanar Development" to "Interplanar Development and Cooperation".

During the Dawn of the Demesnes, Seiva was evacuated back to Entela so she wouldn't accidentally be killed by high antimagic fields.

Spells/Gear/etc
Maybe you want to list out things like spells or weapons that this character has that doesn't fit into the above sections.

Planes visited

 * Some Plane
 * And Another
 * Optional, but can be useful for planeswalkers.

Planeswalkers met

 * Like above, not always needed
 * And you should definitely remove these rather than leave them blank.

Trivia

 * Seiva has no interest in romantic encounters of her own, but is happy to help others find theirs.
