Kua

Kua (Sharkbait) is an officer in the Vanguard and a human fighter of the Shark Tooth Tribe from the Kupe Isles.

Appearance
Kua is a towering young man with a muscular, but portly, build. He has brown eyes, a medium-brown skin tone, and curly black hair usually pulled into a ponytail. He wears a fabric loincloth with simple tribal designs as well as a shark tooth necklace to remind him of home and very little else.

Personality
Kua is a jolly guy with a monsterous appetite. He is a glass-half-full kind of person that loves sporting a big smile.

While his lower intelligence and humble island roots limit him academically, his size and strength have been very lucrative since he left home.

Don't mistake his jolly nature for weakness. The tribes where Kua comes from are known for extreme violence when pushed in to conflict and he is no different. It isn't uncommon for him to be wooping and yelling with a smile on his face while covered in someone else's blood.

Background
Kua grew up in the Kupe Isles south of Omanduir. The isles are behind in technology and live pretty primitively, but are known to be fierce warriors with supernatural powers and a love of nature.

From the known records, the men of his tribe are the primary warrior and the ones sent to battle. The women are generally more tied to nature and follow druidic paths or learn to gather and track as rangers.

Kua grew up fighting with the other boys of his tribe and learning to navigate the seas and fish. He was taught to make small seafaring vessels using natual materials gifted to them by the islands. He became quite proficient is wayfinding, the islands version of navigation using the natural world.

Kua decided to set off for one of the large mainland continents instead of participate in another tribal war. He no longer wanted to fight his neighbors. He made his way across the ocean and took up life as a professional sailor before he stumbled on the Vanguard and signed on with them.
