Kane Maunekea
Koa Kane Kuaka Maunekea (a.k.a. Scorchedbrow)
Kane Kuaka Scorchedbrow Maunakea stands as a towering figure at 10 feet 10 inches tall, weighing 480 pounds, embodying the epitome of an Afi Toa warrior. His sandy brown skin, a result of constant exposure to the sun, is a canvas for intricate tribal tattoos depicting scenes of humanoids wrestling great beasts. Kane's face, adorned with simple warpaint lines, bears a distinctive calloused burn in the shape of a hand across one eye and his forehead. A thick bone pierces through his nose, and his wrists are bound with golden manacles, remnants of a ritual showing his unwavering fealty to Kami, the volcano god. His attire is minimal, consisting of a knee-length shark leather skirt and a variety of braided ropes and jewelry hanging like sashes around his bare, muscular chest. The broken chains attached to the manacles on his wrists and the "L" tattoos on the back of his hands are clear markers of his fierce and tumultuous past.
Kane's life has been shaped by the harsh realities of his homeland, Moku'kai, and his tribe, the Maunakea. Trained from a young age by his father, Mako Kuaka "Swiftdrifter" Maunakea, an exceptional bounty hunter, Kane has learned to hunt and survive in the most brutal conditions. The death of his brother during the tribe's rigorous coming-of-age trials instilled in him a fear of failure and a drive to prove his worth. His personality is a blend of extreme pride, unwavering honor, and a fierce protective instinct towards his family and the natural world of the Azure Isles. Though dense in understanding nuances, his straightforwardness and intensity make him a formidable presence. Kane's ultimate goal is to restore the purity of his island by becoming the ultimate hunter of men, reflecting his deep connection to nature and his divine mission driven by the god Kami.
