Name: Ukpik Meaning: Inuktitut for "snowy owl" Nickname(s): Gender: Female Tribe: Light Personality: Patient Alignment: Neutral good Likes: colors, spending time with her family, singing Dislikes: darkness, running About: Ukpik is the first light tribe albino, but personally, she'd rather she had her father's eyes! Not because of the color, no--but because of sight. Ukpik is very near-sighted, practically blind, viewing the world as a series of colorful smudges. She is patient by necessity--if she were to run, she could fall and hurt herself.

Name: Naałʼashí (nah-hah-shee) Naal'ashi Meaning: Navajo word meaning "tarantula" Nickname(s): Gender: Female Tribe: Earth Personality: Paranoid Alignment: True neutral Likes: cubs, electricity, hunting Dislikes: Reuniclus, bullies and pranksters About: Naal enjoys hunting and laying traps, but she dislikes those whose first priority is to have fun. She loves cubs and will hurt anyone who tries to hurt them. If she ever met a Dark Tribe cub, she would gladly let them drink her blood.
Naal's biggest problem is that she is a strange combination of gullible and paranoid. She's willing to accept that there are people out there in the world who want to hurt cubs, but she has no way of figuring out who those people are. As such, if she were to find someone she thought was unsavory, she might lay a trap for them to hurt them. Not because it's fun, but because it needs to be done. She can be very serious.

Name: Camaka Meaning: Hindi for "radiance" Nickname(s): Gender: Female Tribe: Light Personality: Perfectionist Alignment: Likes: Dislikes: About: A perfectionist to the core, Camaka hates leaving a task before it is exactly the way she envisioned it to be. She holds herself to high standards and assumes that everyone else does, too. When she makes a mistake, she tries to hide it and pretend that it never happened; she thinks that if other people knew that she made mistakes, they would not like her. She is especially afraid of disappointing or failing to live up to her family.

There were six of them altogether--herself, her older sister, two younger sisters, and a pair of brothers. Sunlight danced across their scales in shades of blues and greens from the crystals that hung in the trees far above. They refracted and bounced against each other as they ran around in circles across wide, bright beams of the tree in which they made their home. It was a beautiful day, a vibrant day, the sort of day that should have filled her heart with beauty and joy and gladness to be alive.
But instead, Camaka found herself in a slightly higher bough, watching her siblings play below her. The arch-magi taught them that cubs were the tribe's most precious resource, a promise for the future and an affirmation of life and all that it represented. So in theory, she should be down there enjoying herself, shouldn't she?
Well, yes, she should be. But...
Her pale eyes could not help but lock onto the silver-and-amethystine tail of her youngest brother--when it was visible from amongst their parents' pink scales. Camaka sighed heavily and rested her chin upon her paws. He was her brother, and she loved him, but...well, weren't they all supposed to be equals? Why did he get more attention than the rest? Just because he was "younger." By how much? Why did it matter? She closed her eyes and huffed once again. He got attention. It wasn't fair. Being one of six was tougher than anyone would think!
She tried to close her ears against the sounds coming from below, all shouting and laughter. More than mere description, the sounds were the sounds of love, and joy, and...
Family. Camaka opened her eyes and looked down at her family below her once again, this time with her mind open as well. Family...
She was the second-oldest of six...that meant that there were four others not receiving the same attention from her parents. They were...happy. With less. Or they seemed to be. Camaka stood up and peered, once again, at her family below.
They were having fun, and here she was...not. Fine, then. She'd go down there, and she'd have fun. So what if her brother got more attention from their parents? That was today.
Tomorrow, she would be older, and she would have done stuff. Important stuff. She would make them proud of her someday.
And it would start with being thankful for what she had. Her siblings. Her parents. Her little brother and all. "Look out below!" she shouted, and she jumped down to join them.
Plot Ideas -- Snowballing: Camaka makes a mistake, probably a minor one--she loses something or some such--and tries to cover it up. More and more mistakes are made until she finally cannot hide it anymore and fesses up. Depending on how she handles the situation, either it is proven to her that her family still loves her in spite of it, or her worst fears are confirmed. -- An Invitation: Camaka meets a new friend in the capital--who turns out to be rather more than a friend. When he invites her out of the capital to live with him, she has to make a decision on where she wants to live. -- Make or Break: She wants to be a healer, but the stress of doing everything right gets to her. Either she finds a way to relax, or she pushes herself to be the best healer there is (or among the best). Meanwhile, someone tries to convince herself that, for her sanity, it might be best to change jobs to something less stressful, like crystal gathering.

Name: Megapi Meaning: made-up name combining the Greek letters Omega and Pi. Long story why. Nickname(s): Mega Gender: Male Tribe: Fire Personality: Heroic! Naive, and also hopelessly, ridiculously, annoyingly romantic. Gullible, but honorable. Alignment: neutral good Likes: Dislikes: About: Megapi may not be good at making things--except mistakes--but his heart is in the right place. He's optimistic, thinks well of everyone, is somewhat gullible, and loves romantic stories. He wants more than anything to fall in love with a beautiful lady and have a classic romance with her. He's a warrior, a fighter, and he never gives up on the things he cares about.
I'd like him to fall in love with a nantlil, true love, put her on a pedestal--and find out that she's not as formal or ladylike as he imagined her to be, but he loves her anyway. I'd like him to start a family with her. I'd also like him to join a colony somewhere as a knight or a guard or something.

Name: Matho Meaning: Lakota word meaning "bear" Nickname(s): Gender: Male Tribe: Fire Personality: Untrusting Alignment: True neutral Likes: Dislikes: About:
Wary, untrusting, almost verging on paranoid, Matho believes that everyone does something for a reason, for personal gain. He's willing to help people out, but only for a price. He's almost obsessed with being the best fighter, so that he can never be hurt or taken advantage of again. He is highly independent and while he will work for someone, he will not work with someone. He is a lone mercenary, or perhaps a bodyguard. Cynical and jaded, he does not do charity cases. He requires payment, upfront, for his services, and he is willing to get into fights with anyone who challenges him, to prove that he is better than them.
Matho awoke alone, and he was granted by the Weaver a naturally sunny disposition--until he came upon Teine. He asked Teine for help with hunting, and Teine agreed--as long as Matho would help him out with something. He needed Matho to find one of Teine's lost slaves--not that he told the newly-awakened that of course. The way he put it was that he needed Matho to help him find his mate. When he failed, the savage Teine mauled him, taking advantage of Matho's inferior skills at fighting to rip his face open and send him packing.
Matho never did get help with hunting. That he had to figure out on his own.
The right side of Matho's face is much more badly injured than the left side. His right side has almost been torn off, and in some places his skull is exposed. He has lost his right eye entirely, leaving him blind on that side.
I'd like a plot where someone tries to tame him, or he tries to work with a group, but ultimately his own inability to move beyond his traumatic first encounter leaves him incapable for staying for long. I would like him to meet Teine's slaves once they escape, but I don't imagine he'd stay with them for long.
