Saves: +3 (+5 v. weather/drowning/starvation)/+1/+1
Diety: Tangaroa (water, chaos, destruction)
Language: Hawaiki-raro
Mana: 4
Class Abilities: Track, Maritime Skills, Aquatic Combat, Endure Elements, Improved Swim, Sea Legs, Orientation, Weather Sense
Racial Abilities: Immune to sleep, +2 v. Enchantment, Low-light vision, +1 Listen/Search/Spot
Feats: Endurance, Skill Focus (Swim)
Skills
Animal Empathy: +6 (6 ranks)
Balance: +2 (2 class ability)
Listen: +7 (6 ranks, 1 racial ability), +8 in deep water, +9 in shallows/shore
Move Silently: +1 deep (1 class ability), +2 shallows/shore
Profession (Navigator): +2 (class ability)
Profession (Vaka): +2 (2 class ability)
Search: +1 (1 racial ability)
Sense Motive: +1 deep (1 class ability), +2 shallows/shore
Spot: +2 deep (1 class ability, 1 racial ability), +3 shallow/shore
Swim: +12 (6 ranks, 2 feat, 4 class ability)
Vaka: +6 (6 ranks)
Gear
Bedroll, Basket, Hammer, Silk rope, Waterskin; malo, decorative top; padded armor
Lani carries the waterskin when she sails. The other things she wears/carries only as needed. She has the armor only at the insistence of the others, in case the island should be attacked. She wears the malo when she's around large groups of people, and the decorative top for special occasions only.
Weapons
Dagger, Halfspear, Sling w/ Bullets
Lani brings all three when she sails and when she hunts on land and the halfspear and dagger when she hunts underwater.
Lani is somewhat of a strange creature. She was found on the shore several years ago with no memories, and raised by the Takanui. Her origins are unknown to all, but speculated upon often. The fey blood courses strongly through her veins and she sometimes appears uncomfortable around the clan, as well as on land. She often cuts her curly red-brown hair as short as she can, to enable her to swim more effectively. Similarly, she often swims, hunts, and sails naked (giving her a deep tan), though often when she is on land she respects custom and wears a malo. She can be aloof but tries her best to fit in with her adopted clan. She appears to relax the most around Tatiki and the other Urukehu, but even around them hardly ever lets her guard down completely. On those rare occasions, her fey side is even more pronounced. While she is more open and graceful, she also is strangely--sometimes frighteningly--alien.

Cool I guess its minimum lvl 5 Prc (so not too long if things pan out okay) the Cetacean encounter shouldn't be too hard to work in since Tatiki has a Porpoise Companion and you are both Urukehu in Takanui village so there probably some interaction betwen you two
No taboo against going naked. Most children to the age of puberty go naked, after this it is usual to wear a malo (wrap around skirt) going topless is standard only covering up for the weather or ceremonial purposes (eg the Puhi (virgin maiden - usually the chiefs daughter) might wear an elaborate costume of finemats and tapa during welcoming ceremonies).
The coconut bra you might have seen some wear is a modern invention!

You can still join.

Tonguez: I'm kind of taking liberties with your elven race, projecting qualities on Lani that might not really be accurate, so if you disapprove or there's a conflict, let me know. She definitely *is* half-elven (Urukehu), but I've given her some background that might not mesh with your vision of the fey. (I just added some stuff to background; full character SHOULD be up within 24 hours.)
Edit: Character done. Please check my stuff out, particularly the mana (I wasn't sure if you meant charisma bonus, or actual charisma score). If anything doesn't check out, let me know.
