Character Profile is up, along with a full analysis of Rangi Takanui (Wai's father) and thumbnail sketches of his grandmother and the two O'Punga hired hands.

Also mentioned but not statted is Tama Takanui, Wai's Great Grandmother and a rather potent sorcereress that he admires a great deal. She is deceased, most likely of old age.

Finally, I added a member to Chief Makea's family... a daughter named Ru-Hina. I did not stat her out. If adding people to the family of the chief -- even for a crush that doesn't even know about Wai -- is a problem, let me know and I'll edit it.

Very popular that letter T

anyway just wanted to ask which of the Beast Spirits you are most interested in - I hate to have a Dire Boar visit Punga Punga Tani when your more keen on a Shark or something...

I just now realized that the half-orcs are called O'Pungas Any suggestions for a name, Tonguez?

As for the beast spirit, I must admit I'm intrigued by the VELOCIRAPTOR idea, but I'd be equally glad to let you run with it, too. I'm pretty flexible...

Is this like an Animal companion? if so it is stated that there are no large animals on the islands.
In real live I study Shamanism and If this is a Totem it could be very powerful.

Hey Argent!

I'm intending to take Tonguez' alt.Paladin PrC later and this is what Tonguez posted about it back on the first page (I got the idea from his post) :

Tanguru (alt.Paladin)
Amongst the many atua of Hawaiki are the beast-spirits – Shark, Crocodile, Lizard, Wild Boar, Eagle, Nanakia (Velociraptor) – Spirits that hunger to devour the souls of mortals. The Tanguru are the chosen vessel of the beast-spirits, leaders in warfare the Tanguru agree to carry the beast-spirits into battle and in return the beasts imbues the Tanguru with a part of their power.

I put the color & emphasis above for clarity's sake. Don't know anything about it beyond that. You'll have to ask Tonguez

Velociraptors IMC are medium-size Deinonychus (see MM) - irl Velociraptors were about the size of a dog (and 6 ft from nose to tail tip). I also subscribe to the Velociraptors were birds theory (so the Nanakia is covered in feathers)

Hows this?

Ladies and Gents! May I introduce to you.... Disco Dodo!

Puna Tani (Pool of Tears) could be an option (ie just drop the ng)

oh and this might be a less comical Nanakia

 

[Mirth]

Puna Tani (Pool of Tears) could be an option...

Thanks Tonguez! I like it and seems to fit the character very well. Have already changed the character sheet and the first character post

Plus the Nanakia looks way cool
