•Nickname - Rumi •Race - Pure Moakai •Gender - Female •Hometown - •Basic Traits - Shy, Kindhearted, Skillful •Personality - Ruminui has some trouble in meeting new people since she is so shy. She tends to stay to herself and when faced with the potential to make a new friend she is more likely to blush and hide than she is to talk. If she does manage to make a friend she is slightly less shy but only just. She still blushes often and might even stutter but at least Rumi won't hide anymore. Unless she needs to use them as a shield to hide from others that is. She doesn't hide because she feels she is better than anyone but because she fears that she will not be liked for who she is.
Despite her initial shyness Ruminui has a big heart. She likes to help out her friends and family when she can. She has also been known to give hugs out when she notices that someone she considers close is upset. Rumi even tries to find ways to help strangers. While it likely won't be a face to face encounter she will still do what she can to make sure help has been given.
Her kindheartedness also extends to animals. Ruminui loves all life and feels it should be treated with love. Even those angry little beasties that attack others - she thinks they are just misunderstood. (-eyeroll.-)
Rumi views the world as most her age do. It's a big scary place and she doesn't want to go too far from home. Though if she has her friends and family with her then she doesn't mind traveling. As long as she gets back home at some point she's okay with it. Tell her it's a permanent move and she might freak out.
With the helping hand of her mother, Ruminui has discovered that she has a talent for healing. She is not only good at picking out which plants are best to use but she also has a knack for knowing just how to use them for the maximum effect. Because of this Rumi hopes to become a healer/doctor when she's older. Her mother has told her that in order to do so she needs to stop being so shy around others but so far she's had little luck with this. Not that she isn't trying. •Description - •Clothing - •Accessories - •History - Ruminui is the youngest of five children and the only girl born to her parents. Her older brothers have more than three years on her and so they all do their share of "big brothering." Her mother, Amoulai, was pleased beyond words to know that she had a daughter at last and so showers her with love. Her father, Matiu, expected another son but was happy when Rumi turned out to be his little girl, though he was also scared since she was his first and only daughter.
The first signs of her gender showed early, around the age of two, when all she wanted was to wear pretty dresses. However, it wasn't until later that it really showed just how much of a girl she was. Amoulai and her husband treated Ruminui like her siblings as much as possible, due to the trend of boys, but once the feminine side shone through they encouraged it shamelessly.
Each brother seemed happy to have a sister, though they each declared as she got older that she was not to date nor was any boy to bother her. Typical big brother stuff. Of course the protective streak in them grew when Rumi's personality finally shone through. Knowing that she was shy and kind they wanted to make sure no one took advantage of her and so became a bit overbearing. Even Matiu was a little over protective.
Amoulai acts as though she doesn't see how her husband and her sons act because she doesn't want to draw attention to it in case Rumi thinks their behavior is normal of big brothers and a dad. Why ruin that way of thinking for her when it clearly hurt no one?
As Rumi grew and she showed that she had a skill for the healing arts her mother helped her learn more. Amoulai wanted to improve that skill in her daughter so that she could help others like she do desperately wanted to do but was always scared of. Now that Ruminui is a bit older she is hoping that her lovely daughter can find friends that will help her to come out of her shell a little more. Even Rumi hopes to make more friends - with time of course.

• Deep in the shadowed depths of Kahikina dwells a race bred to survive the cold and the darkness. The Moakai have dark, cooler toned skin that is a backdrop for their bright eyes. Their scales match their hair, going from brighter blue-toned colors to nearly black. On top of the being the darkest colored race in Kahikina, they are also known for the lure that sprouts from their forehead and softly glows in the darkness. It is rare for most to wander away from their deep sea home, but some are starting to emerge on the surface to explore the lands unlocked by the recent floods.
The main home to the Moakai is the deep sea trench Ka'lei, where they believe Iokaila, the Mother Ocean, lives and communicates. While most of the deep sea is open and filled with strong currents, the Moakai have established key settlements for safety. No Moakai has lived outside of the four major settlements, at least not for long. For how empty the lands of Ka'lei may seem, they house a rare treat of creatures that glow softly like stars in a moonless sky.
Near the surface of Ka'lei lies the large settlement of Akamu, and is known as the Twilight City due to the soft sunlight that still penetrates the waters. Farther down into the Trench means most of the remaining settlements are housed in pitch black. It is only the bioluminescence that allows any travelers the ability to travel in the deep ocean, and even then it is strongly recommended visitors travel with a Moakai guide.
The Moakai are a serious race that believes strongly in the voice of the ocean. Much like their neighbors in the reef, they have become strong swimmers thanks to years of living in the currents of the sea. In the past, they depended on others to communicate with the freshwater people, as they struggle to adapt to the pressure of the upper oceans as well as the taste of freshwater. Many are uncertain on what the opening of the river means to their home, and hesitant to journey to the surface too quickly. • Religion - The Moakai have developed their faith around the currents of the ocean. Because they live in the depths of the sea, they are intimate with the impact of the tides on the way of life. Water is seen as the life and energy of the world, and the currents are the flow of the world that brings life to the ocean. Many Moakai understand the danger of these 'current rivers', and learn quickly of their location so they do not get drawn in. There is an awe and fear of the power of the Mother Ocean, Iokaila, and Moakai children are taught to understand that the 'chaos' of the currents is something to respect. They know that Iokaila is a fickle deity, and take care to ensure they don't get snared in her fits of rage.
The Moakai religion has taught its people to be strong and vigilant, respecting that chaos is a reflection of strength and that there is always a balance between peace and destruction. There is no pressure in their religion to pray or follow any sort of rules, but simply to listen to nature, respect Iokaila, and be aware of the world and power around them. • Government - The Moakai have a government with Iokaila being the central leader, and divine prophets that read the messages of the ocean and speak the word to the people. The leadership doesn't dictate how the people need to act culturally, but instead focus on reading the messages of Iokaila and using them as guidance for how to manage the settlements. Citizens of the deep are allowed to act on their own without major consequences, but also trust in the prophets to interpret Iokaila. In the past, those that refused to follow the guidance of the prophets often faced disastrous consequences, and as a result there is often a fear whenever a message comes back that speaks of risk or ruin. • Physical Traits - || Dark, midnight blue and purple skin color || Purple, red, and blue scale colors that are found in an array of striping patterns and are located on the face, neck, belly, back, and legs. || Various brightly colored eyes || Ombre colored hair that matches the scales and fades to black || Softly glowing forehead lure || Clothing is tight, thick and harvested from seaweed, often decorated with remains from creatures in the deep sea || Moakai are a varied race, averaging between 4’ 6” and 6’ 5” with strong arms and legs
