Puapasho

[Puapasho]

Puapasho Basic Information Race: Chaktawe Birthday & Age : 14 Summer 491, 20 years old Gender: Male Physical Description Puapasho is a lean and wiry individual, his appearance betraying his weight, which hovers around 200 lbs, his height of six feet stretching it taut for the most part. His long black hair is rarely smooth and kept, as it is normally littered with twigs and sand from time crouching in wait of prey. His face seems to be carved from the very redstone of his tribe, the Kalanue, lines built into squinting eyes and a scowl of determination. With his black band over equally dark eyes, his silent observations can make him seem to emulate Brother Crow. Character Concept Puapasho always finds company and solace in silence. The sounds of the desert winds and a crackling fire bring him as much contentment and joy as the Abayla's tales. This can make him seem sullen and distant in the company of those who do not know him well. All the Chaktawe are his brothers and sisters, though, and he would give his life for any of his people as he knows they would for him. His sense of pride in his ancestral homeland is weighty, rivalled only by his reverence for Brother Crow, who he often speaks to, even if there are no crows in sight. Character History Born to one of the elder trackers of the Kalanue, Puapasho was raised as the middle of five, with two sisters, Kaje and Shoje, preceding him and two brothers, Palesho and Kuweno, following him. Being the eldest son, his father began passing the lore of the desert and its 'many stories', the meat of his own superior tracking skill. His father, Jelawe, was known among the tribe as the only known Chaktawe to have tracked a Baral, often calling it 'the living thunder of night'. After his Searching, his life's path was surely set before him. He would carry on the tradition his father had fostered and nurtured. Life continued in the quiet and stoic way it always had. Kaje fell in love with a Suli warrior, soon marrying him and leaving the redstone for their tribal grounds. Shoje remained, marrying one of the Kalanue's hunters. Palesho and Kuweno were approaching their age of Searching, and Puapasho acted in his father's stead as a guide for them, should they need it. Jelawe, in his advancing years, watched his eldest begin to grow as a skilled tracker, offering his advice as he could and gifting Puapasho with his own spear which had carried him through the years. The three long raven feathers dangling from the base of the spearhead signified the three most important ties to a Chaktawe. The highest and largest feather represented Brother Crow, who always looked over his nest. The second largest and middle feather represented the Chaktawe as a single tribe, divided as they were among the tribes. The final feather, hard with the beetle paint, represented the Kalanue, their own tribe amongst the peoples.
