Kiwi Tangaroa

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Kiwi is huge for a human, standing just shy of 7ft with the frame of a house. He has black, curly, shoulder-length hair, occasionally pinned up with needles made of bone. He usually wears a very limited amount of clothes: no shirt, and a traditional dress covering his lower half. Aside from his adventuring pack, his only other possessions include a large conch shell fashioned into a horn by his side, a thick rope necklace adorned with plant matter, whale bones and shark teeth, and a large axe-looking weapon: a flat whalebone with sharpened edges on each side, various engraved carvings across its surface, and dotted with green stones and wood.
This most distinguishing feature of Kiwi is definitely his tattoos - covering his face, arms and torso, the designs weave around themselves, almost looking like a map; the lines forming angular coastlines and flowing, undulating waves. These tattoos extend upward to cover his face, framing his nose, eyes and mouth.
Although this does make for an imposing figure, Kiwi is almost perpetually smiling. Just having a great time.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Back home, Kiwi is an important person. Not only is he next in line to lead his village, but he was born Blessed: one of the few every generation that is marked with a God-Spirit that grants him strength, power and magic.His destiny is to harness and wield this power to one day lead his people, the combination of his birth-rights leading to prophecies of being the greatest leader history has seen. And so he has set out into the world as part of his people’s traditions to one day return as the strong warrior he must be.*record scratch*Really though, he doesn’t care about all that. He just wants to have fun and occasionally get in a fight.
