Name: Inolakenda ("The Fox With the Strange Power") AKA "Ken"
Age: 16
Affiliation: Kahniakenhaka, Free Agent
Appearance: Standing at six feet, Ken towers over most adult citizens of the Colonies, while remaining a bit shorter upon member s of his tribe. Years of traversing the trees and other parts of the Valley's nature has attributed to his athletic build, without developing so much as to make him very bulky. Ken has long brown hair kept up in a ponytail outside of the tribe's territory, and let loose when he returns. He has green eyes, with the left sometimes showing streaks of yellow.
Personality: Inolakenda cares deeply for those of his tribe, and members of the Iroquois nation as a whole. He is easy to let his guard down with those of his kind, and even colonials who can speak his language. He doesn't view himself as above fighting, but prefers not to, and was in fact on the path of becoming a healer and shaman before his extraordinary tracking prowess saw him become a hunter. He is slow to warm up to the colonials, harboring a deep resentment for them for the death of his father.
Favorite Weapons: Tomahawks, Shortbows
Strengths: Archery, Free-Running, Expert Tracking (Eagle Vision)
Weaknesses: Ken speaks limited English, and mostly has little patience for colonials in general. He also has no expierience with hand to hand fighting or weapons commonly used outside the Irouqouis tribes, and would require much training to use them.
Background/Biography: For most of his life, the Kaniakenhaka tribe was all that Inolakenda ever had to know. Born to Kachinakai and Macawimacha, the latter being a distant descendant of Jupiter and in turn, so is Ken. Life as a child in the village was simple and peaceful, the day consisting of exploring and playing with his friends, while his mother tended crops and his father tended tools.
Inolakenda would not know the violent nature of the world until he was six years old, when his father was killed at the start of the French and Indian War, during an attack on a British expedition to Fort Duquesne. Ken would forever harbor resentment towards the people from the colonial people, but he could warm up to them, as he did with the traders who would come to his village, learning a fair bit of English over the years from their visits.
Through his early teenage years, Ken was learning the ways of the shaman and the healer, due to his apparent proneness for visions. One day, however, his true calling revealed itself a night when one of the village’s children went missing. He helped the adults in a search party late into the evening. Searching for clues, he found himself seeing the world in a different way, the precursor blood granting him the ability to see as they did, leading Ken to quickly pick up the child’s trail, leading to his safe return home and a bit of a change in Careers for Ken.
Ken was trained in the art of hunting and trapping game in the wilderness, which proved to come almost natural to him with the help of his gift from Those Who Came Before. He always came in with a decent haul, being quite a decent asset to the village’s hunting group, doing more than his part to keep the tribe well stocked in meat and furs. Life is a nice routine for Inolakenda, but with the revolution stirring not too far from home, who knows how long it will stay that way.
