Wakinyan Reference

Description

Name: Wakinyan Ochre AKA: Waki/ Lil Waki
 (Loosely translated to Ochre Thunderer/ Ochre Thunderbird)

Type: Human 


Contracted To: 'Moochy' the Thunderbird fav.me/db51xbr
AKA: The True Wakinyan
AAKA: Oki-yah [A small black crow with sparking, otherworldly eyes.]


Affinity: Electromagnetism
Specialty: geomagnetic storms
Wakinyan has very course and heavy handed mastery of his abilities, due to lack of knowledge of how they work. Most of what he knows is trial and error.

  • He can conjure electricity and call it to himself, storing it in his body for redirection, or defensive purposes. He does this by manipulating the flow of electrons in the earth's magnetic field. (Hell if he KNOWS that though...)
  • While not 100% useful he can an create Aurora Borealis, and it manifests to a lesser degree when using magic.
  • When in a high place, he can see the flow of electricity. (Passive)
  • Unbeknownst to him, electricity can harm and heal him simultaneously. If he takes significant damage from an electrical source, its up to his stamina to determine if he heals, or is injured. He has to contact sources of electricity directly, like exposed wire in order to do this...., but thats if he finds out about this quirk. (passive)
  • Finally, he can call electromagnetic storms in a ten meter radius if he performs a ritualistic dance.  This storm interferes with radio signals and electronics. Apparently his little partner stretches its wings and 'stomps' around as if pleased, when Waki does this. Unfortunately...Waki has the grace of a tortoise and usually botches it soon enough. Needless to say...he's gonna be wheezing while he does it. His magical stamina is...quite lacking.

Tier: 2


Age: 19


Gender: M-M-M-MALE


Birthdate: 9 Februrary, 1947 

Height: 5' 5 , or 1.6 meters


Nationality: Lakota Sioux


Personality:

Brazen: Wakinyan's bold. He's a large personality, confident and dauntless. He does very little in a subtle way. When he walks in a room, he swings the door open wide! When he talks, he does so with gusto and purpose, whether its a low shady tone, or a loud bark across the room. He's got a hard, but moderately successful life of a thug behind him and it's swelled his ego juuuust a tad.


Free Spirit
: Waki's grown up in a place where rules are followed loosely. He in particular finds constraints and demands chafing. He does what he wants, or as much as he can get away with...and reacts....quite badly to being forced to do otherwise.

Tough
: Living a rough life would be putting his experience lightly. He's lived life on the streets, in his violent home town, full of angry, frustrated, and downtrodded youths from a former warrior culture. Waki's been  beaten bloody, stabbed, even shot once and continues to get up and walk just as boldly as ever. He isn't passive either, he hits like a truck and is built like a tank. Needless to say, he can take a hit and laughs at most attempts at intimidation. (Probably explains all the injuries eh?)

Political
: Despite his brash persona, Waki cares for his people and the down on their luck. His people have a double helping of mistreatment in the states due to historical tregedies and their low population of magicians. This means he can be defensive regarding the topic mage-human relations. Waki has strong political views in general, specifically about the social structure between magicians and humans. He talks loudly and openly if provoked, so....should anyone make social commentary around him.....expect to discuss AT LENGTH. 

Sly
: One might assume from his walk, talk, and build that he's quite the brute. While thats not....100% inaccurate, his most notable trait and the one that's kept him alive are his wits. He takes advantage of assumptions and has a remarkable ability to stay cool in chaotic and stressful situations, which has won him lots of fights...and saved his and his friends' lives when they lost. Even when he loses, he's always thinking of a way to get ahead.

Now how does he feel about his pacta......?TRAPPED: Due to...extenuating circumstances, he was forced, literally at gunpoint to contract with a small black bird, with sparking eyes. A weak, starved little thing that...somehow managed to survive in the harsh ecosystem of entities, his home is known for. He's Impossibly frustrated by the fact that it's weakened him, but....when life gives you magic powers...YOU FRIGGIN LEARN HOW TO USE EM.




History
Brief Description of Wakinyan's home in the U.S. => The Fire Council, US

With a mother who took way too well to a drugging, hippy lifestyle and an unemployed father, Waki found solace and normalcy outside of home. His uncommon determination not to be a nameless victim of his town caused people to naturally gravitate towards him. The first members of his light jacking crew. His parents frequently went without power, but when his mother came ill, they couldn't afford to live in the cold. That's when Waki decided to give his directionless gang some purpose. Joining under more experienced Light Jackers he and his crew learned how to steal power. They fought hard, bloody fights, surviving outrageous attempts to take out the upstarts. After months and then years of fighting, burying friends, and taking power junctions...they had two whole neighborhoods enjoying heating and light.

However, when you get to be a big fish, you make ripples...and bigger fish notice. One year ago, some new form of law enforcement cracked down on light jacking and systemetically shut down 3/4ths of Waki's operation. Then...finally they were caught, by men and women in black suits. Magicians....and Sioux. They were instructed to hand over the remaining power stations, or disappear. Noticing that Waki had an unusually robust soul, they snatched him away and locked him in a room, surrounded by armed guards. It was there that he saw a strange, emaciated bird, with bloody carrion hanging from its beak and sparks licking from its eyes. He was to form a pact with it...and then enjoy a NICE long vacation at a very prestigious school, to bring out it's power... and learn some damn manners; then he'll make a fine pawn.

So. Now Lil Waki, still aching from his brush with those sell outs, is on a train to some swank town to go to school with FRIGGIN MAGES. He can already see the sparkle babies, looking down their nose at em. His blood already at a light simmer. What kept him from ditching at the station however, is the chance to grab all the power he can....so that maybe...HOPEFULLY he can turn the tables on the bastards. What Waki doesn't yet see is this. For all his misgivings, his schooling could be an opportunity for more than just payback. Let's see if he's sharp enough to realize how.



Miscellaneous:
  • The Legendary Wakinyan, or "Thunderbird" was once highly revered by Waki's people and remains a symbol of nature's power, sovreignty, and war. Most have forgotten the mighty entity, but it yet lives...and has now a kindred spirit to help return it to it's former glory. A mighty coincidence that this boy shares its name..., or maybe not.
  • Waki's an Aquarius...if you wanna know
  • Inlaid into the symbol on his back is a curse that allows the magicians in the U.S to track his progress and any alterations to the pact.
  • The shadowy group that sponsored Waki's education have a contact in the school and this is how they keep a...firmer grip on the young man. Waki only has the suspicion and doesn't know who it is, exactly.
  • Waki is.....not a great student. He neglected his education growing up (what little was available) and as a result has to sit in with 13 and 14 year olds, learning magic theory.
  • Waki is a clutz. He has two left thumbs and when he was stealing power with his crew, he was banned from touching sensitive equipment. He's honestly injured himself more than anyone else has. (Which is a friggin lot.)

  • Wakinyan's hair is dark, reddish brown, but after his pact...is slowly turning white. It will continue to change as he progresses in knowledge of his mysterious crow.
