 Sabu Imani
'''Name:''' Sabu Imani '''Age:''' 25 '''Race:''' wick '''Place of Origin:''' Anhau (Roek)
!!!Backstory The story of the Imani family is a sad one indeed. Sulda Imani, a proud Roek carpenter, took as his wife a young woman named Kotha. They had two beautiful children; the first was a daughter named Sita, then a young boy named Sabu three years later.
The two children were inseparable, with Sabu always seen tagging along after his older sister. Sita was everything one could ask for in a Roek youth. She was strong, and quickly became known as one of the best wrestlers in the Roek quarter, called Kenser for her bottomless stamina and strength. She was fast, able to run for hours across the ridges, never tiring. It was a joke amongst the adults that Sita was as strong as her father and as pretty as her mother, while Sabu was as sweet as his mother and as goofy looking as old Sulda.
For his part, Sabu was a fine youth as well. Taller than his sister by two heads and unable to put on muscle, he was still sheathed in sinew and was called Half Man by his wrestling buddies since his reflexes and iron grip was like that of one of the jungle's howler monkeys. Still, his sister trounced him easily. His long legs allowed him to run like a buck, and he could vault across chasms and jump over fallen logs with ease. Still, his sister would always outpace him. One of the few things his sister did not beat him in was in collecting herbs, a skill his mother taught him. He made herbal tea blends from the plants he collected and anyone who has enjoyed one of the fragrant herbal teas from the Che-kop has him to thank. However, Sabu was sure that the only reason he was better at this was because Sita had no interest in it.
One of the more foolish games the two would play was to see how close to the mist they would run. Sita, the more fearless of the two, would always skirt dangerously close to the edge. Sabu was a boy constantly in a state of awe of his older sister, saying that of all the wicks and witches in the Roek tribe, she would be the first to outrun, outsmart, and out fight the hatchers and make her way out into the rest of the world as a hero.
Apparently, Sita thought this as well, because one day, as they played their foolish game, Sita put on a burst of speed, outstripped Sabu, and called out "See you on the other side, brother!" before disappearing into the mist, never to be seen again.
His mother died a year after Sita disappeared, grieving the entire time. Sulda and his son lived together for a few more years on relative happiness; the two got along easily, until he died of a stroke in his shop.
Ten years since Sita entered the mist, Sabu has been consumed with one thing, to do what he was sure his sister had done. When not in the forests around the ridge running or collecting herbs, he is reading whatever he can find on the hatchers, reports of survivors, old legends, anything. Along with this he studies all he can on what the land was like before it was covered by the mist, plotting a path for the day he will follow his sister.
Such is the tragedy of the Imani family, almost completely gone, the name carried by a crazy simpleton with a death wish.
!!!Personality
Sabu is sweet to a fault. Always ready with a smile, he's almost too gregarious, greeting complete strangers as if they are old friends. He has a thick skin, and will often poke fun at himself, often saying that he has so many faults, he never has time to make fun of anyone else. Sabu loves to participate in challenges, especially running and wrestling.
!!!Physical Description
Sabu is tall and rangy, with long legs and longer arms. He has a wide humorous mouth normally split in a gap toothed grin. His beard is full and bushy, and his hair is shaggy and dark brown. He is hairy all over, another reason for his nickname "half man". His eyes, like his fathers, are like burnished bronze. He has a love of tea with milk and honey and buttered bread that has given him a bit of a gut. Many wrestlers think him to be a pushover because of this, only to be caught in his vice grip and brought to the ground. He normally wears a light tan vest and loose shorts, belted by a long red sash. !!!Inventory
Weapons: *Knife for cutting herbs *Sturdy walking stick
Stuff: *Map of the mist he's been making *Satchel of herbs *Herb map *Cedar Kenser, a gift from his dad
!!!Career
Forager *Running and Climbing *Very good hearing and smell to avoid nasty beasts *Plant identification *Map reading
Wrestling * Strong in general, but especially his grip * Excellent reflexes
!!!Goals
More than anything, Sabu wants to see his sister again, and he knows this means braving the mist and the hatchers. At the same time, he rather likes his life in Anhau, and would love things to stay the same as they are now. Along with this, lately he feels like his dad's spirit is haunting him, telling him to settle down, get a wife, and keep the family going. Worst of all, Sabu finds that he likes the idea of raising a family. Currently, Sabu is a very mixed up man.
This is my first time doing something like this and I find it to be very exciting. I read as much as I could of the wiki, hope my character works.
