name: Matchitemin (a bad wind)
race: Yaeli
gender: Male
preference: Unknown
build: Thin and lanky
traits
strange The villagers he grew up with attribute Matchitemin’s oddness to his unlucky birth, saying that it is his curse to predict inevitable misfortune. This may very well be entirely false, because the Yaeli are more than capable of interpreting just about anything as having been a sign of Something Bad… especially after Something Bad has already happened. However, Match’s strange attitude does nothing to correct this reputation. He alternates between being distractedly distant, as if listening to far-off voices, to strange bursts of concentration during which he can stay eerily still for long periods of time.
hardy Matchitemin’s aunt always had reservations about raising him in her house… but even she had to admit that he was a relatively easy keeper. The boy did not eat very much, and in fact once he was old enough to be independent she did not have to worry very much about his welfare. He could fish, forage and catch small prey on his own, often bringing things back to her in the evenings. On several occasions he got lost or simply ventured too far to return home in the evening, and seemed to have no qualms about bedding down in the jungle and spending the night in the dark. The kinds of small injuries that sent other kids crying never fazed him, nor did he ever complain about heat, cold or sour weather.
empathetic Matchitemin is not a man of many words; bit that is not to say that he doesn’t communicate. He’s very attentive to body language, gestures and facial expressions, and tends to speak and listen this way rather than relying on long and elaborate sentences. When he does say or hear something, he does not expect nor feel obliged to give an immediate reply; he seems content to let words hover in the air for a while, especially if he needs a bit of time to think.
xenophobic The Yaeli earthlings are xenophobic in general… but Matchitemin takes it to a bit of an extreme. He is certain that the arrival of strangers to his homeland is either a bad omen or a sign of the wrath of the gods… probably even both. Part of this is personal. Due to the unfortunate circumstances of his birth, he’s always believed that the Gods do not favour him. He’s certain that the misfortune of the strangers’ arrival will cause him to suffer more so than most, and so he has chosen to try and avoid all contact with strangers.
history
childhood history
Matchitemin’s name, meaning ‘a bad wind’, was given to him a as a result of an unfortunate infancy. On the day he was born there was a horrible storm, and for hours his coastal village was buffeted with terrifying winds. Many houses collapsed, including his family’s hut. His mother, father and the midwife, all gathered around the new arrival, were instantly killed by the falling roof. But the baby was found alive once the storm had subsided, and was brought before the village in an emergency council.
It was the opinion of many that the child was likely to be cursed, and sent to them by the Gods as a reminder of the storm, which had come as punishment for their wrongdoings. But since forsaking your family – cursed or not – was sure to be a terrible misdemeanour in the eyes of those Gods, Matchitemin’s surviving relative, his Aunt, was forced to take him in. She was as good a caretaker as the boy could have wished for, in those circumstances. She was afraid of him but also believed that he was gifted with some special foresight, and always treated him as well as she was able.
With her guidance, Matchetemin grew up healthy, sure-footed and capable. But he was always a strange child, and was often spooked by things he saw as bad omens. The worst of these was the arrival of the strangers to Yael. The sight of these strange peoples terrified Matchitemin so much that he fled deep into the jungle, where he imagines he may be safe from their reach.
prentice
After fleeing from the strangers, Matchitemin lived in the deep Yaeli jungle -- alone, with very little contact with other earthlings. He built on his existing knowledge of the wilderness and taught himself to become even more self-sufficient, relying mostly on hunting, trapping and foraging to survive. He would visit villages only to trade for products that he wasn't able to produce himself, and for the occasional bit of news.
During his time in the wilderness, Matchitemin grew closer to the animal life that surrounded him. He became fascinated in tracking and cataloguing the creatures he saw, as a source of inspiration and motivation.
today
Matchitemin is a rather bizarre and somewhat unstable earthling. A lack of contact with people has made him difficult for others to understand, while he himself seems to alternates between burning curiosity and heightened paranoia. Knowledge of new and foreign animals has drawn him out into places where the foreigners have settled... but he's not quite ready to fit in.

_________ ○ non-player characters | • player characters
Oya ○ Matchitemin's aunt. His family was killed by a freak storm on the day he was born, and she has raised him since. She believed that he had an ability to predict misfortune, and was always afraid of some of the things he would foretell. They never became personally close, but she took good care of him nonetheless.
Taijana • Matchitemin got this Yaeli girl into some serious trouble when an accident sent them both hurtling down a deep crevasse and into an underground river. They did make it out alive, though... and Match was pretty impressed with her ability to handle the situation. For someone who lead a much more civilized life than he did, he thinks she's pretty tough.
