[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 8031030, member: 1125"] Hmmm, as I’ve indicated a couple of times in the past, my culture considers Maui to be an ancestor, so I am taking an interest here. I do understand that intepreting these characters can be difficult, especially when drawing together disparate sources based on internet ‘research’ so I wont be overly critical about the build (although the tiki font is a bit tacky) and you have made him a buff god with some nice abilities. I do particularly like how youve managed to use the Magic Fishhook as a way cool feature. A couple of things off the bat though, I’d make Maui Chaotic Neutral myself, he was a bit arrogant and vindictive at times (you mention above, Maui leaving Mafui’e with only one arm and the Irawaru incident when he broke his brother-in-laws back and turned him into a dog just because Irawaru made the mistake of boasting), those arent Good things. Maui is primarily a god of Mariners and Navigation so having a few more Navigation/Boat based skills/abilities would have been nice. Even if he was given a magical Sail (Hawaiian legend refers to Maui as a Kite flyer) or if Iraiapatapata had the ability to beat down the waves :) Also Atua-Tane is a god stick with Divine power over ‘life’ and creation. I dont think having the ability to control Fire is exactly a Maui thing and would give him Wind based powers instead. (Note [I]the story is that he tried to steal fire but was unable to control it which is why it was contained inside the branches of trees where people now have to work to retrieve it[/I]) Also the slaying of Tuna roa (the gigantic long eel) does make Maui a ‘dragon slayer’ :) [/QUOTE]
