Age: IS 2410, LOOKS 38-45.
The Host Race: Human
The Ziamichi Race: Unknown




Personality: (Everyone has a general personality. Please give us at least 2 paragraph's on your characters personality.)

Background/History: "In the beginning, there was nothing in our small patch of ocean. One could take a canoe and travel all the way from our beautiful homeland, Hawaiki, follow the currents and reach the cold south. I would sit there, watching out over the sea and wonder if there was anything else out there. Of course, I was never allowed to leave. Instead, I would sneak out, and climb into my brothers' boat when they went fishing. It was very rarely that they caught me, but this time, I was found out. They were angry at me, and tried to return me to shore. Instead, I used my magical powers and made the shoreline seem so very far away.

So we continued on, until we found the perfect spot. I produced a magical fish hook, dropped it into the water and waited. Feeling a strong tug on the line, I pulled and pulled and pulled, but didn't get anything. At least, couldn't pull it up on my own. So I called my brothers over. And with great pulls and heaves, with waiata and karakia, we would coax this great fish out of the water. We pulled, pulled and pulled, and the fish rose into the air and lay down upon the surface.

Now, being the respectable man I am, I went to go to pray to the gods. They needed to know that we had brought such a great fish. However, my brothers were greedy men. They wanted pieces of this wonderful gift, so while I was gone, they attacked it with weapons. I could not stop them while they gouged valleys, built mountains up. In the end, it came to rest as Te Ika a Māui. This is the island we are on now."


As he finishes telling the story, the man slowly gets to his feet and chuckles quietly. The children look up at him with incredulous eyes, almost shouting out silently 'tell us more!' Another crowd played. Turning away, the man walks off into the distance, dragging his powerful sword behind him. The legend had been synonymous with him for quite some time now, but it was hard to believe that it had, at one point, been a little white lie.

Yes, Māui had travelled out on his brothers' canoe, and caused them to believe that shore was further away than it was. Though the entire story about fishing up a great land was total and utter BS. They found a land, and his brothers simply wanted control over it--since they were actually rather greedy. Māui, however, would have nothing of that. He wanted to share it with his people--it was a prosperous, wonderful land that could easily be shared amongst the greater amount. They fought for days and nights, yet none came out on top. Although Māui's brothers were strong and hardy, being older and more well-trained than Māui himself; Māui had his own abilities to talk about.

In the days gone by, when the gods reigned, the children of Ranginui and Papatuanuku were eaten completely by one of the siblings, Tūmatauenga. Eventually, his own spirit began to deplete, and he felt the need to take himself upon a worthy vessel. He eyed up Māui, who was one of the few humans who had been birthed as the son of a god and a human. In the end, he took it upon himself to place his form into this body, granting Māui the strength of five gods that would guide him along his path through life. He had been granted an almost-immortal lifespan, and power beyond his belief.

Ziamichi Spirit Name: Māui's Ziamichi technically comes under five different names, each name representing the different gods that it can channel. However, it does come under a general name as well. This name is Ranginui (Sky Father). The other five are named as follows:

  • Tūmatauenga
  • Tāwhirimātea
  • Tāne Mahuta
  • Tangaroa
  • Rūamoko


Ziamichi History: Rangi and Papa are the primordial parents, the sky father and the earth mother who lie locked together in a tight embrace. They have many children all of which are male, who are forced to live in the cramped darkness between them. These children grow and discuss among themselves what it would be like to live in the light. Tūmatauenga, the fiercest of the children, proposes that the best solution to their predicament is to kill their parents.

But his brother Tāne (or Tāne-mahuta) disagrees, suggesting that it is better to push them apart, to let Rangi be as a stranger to them in the sky above while Papa will remain below to nurture them. The others put their plans into action—Rongo, the god of cultivated food, tries to push his parents apart, then Tangaroa, the god of the sea, and his sibling Haumia-tiketike, the god of wild food, join him. In spite of their joint efforts Rangi and Papa remain close together in their loving embrace. After many attempts Tāne, god of forests and birds, forces his parents apart. Instead of standing upright and pushing with his hands as his brothers have done, he lies on his back and pushes with his strong legs. Stretching every sinew Tāne pushes and pushes until, with cries of grief and surprise, Ranginui and Papatuanuku were pried apart.

And so the children of Rangi and Papa see light and have space to move for the first time. While the other children have agreed to the separation Tāwhirimātea, the god of storms and winds, is angered that the parents have been torn apart. He cannot bear to hear the cries of his parents nor see the tears of Rangi as they are parted, he promises his siblings that from henceforth they will have to deal with his anger. He flies off to join Rangi and there carefully fosters his own many offspring who include the winds, one of whom is sent to each quarter of the compass. To fight his brothers, Tāwhirimātea gathers an army of his children—winds and clouds of different kinds, including fierce squalls, whirlwinds, gloomy thick clouds, fiery clouds, hurricane clouds and thunderstorm clouds, and rain, mists and fog. As these winds show their might the dust flies and the great forest trees of Tāne are smashed under the attack and fall to the ground, food for decay and for insects.

Then Tāwhirimātea attacks the oceans and huge waves rise, whirlpools form, and Tangaroa, the god of the sea, flees in panic. Punga, a son of Tangaroa, has two children, Ikatere father of fish, and Tu-te-wehiwehi (or Tu-te-wanawana) the ancestor of reptiles. Terrified by Tāwhirimātea’s onslaught the fish seek shelter in the sea and the reptiles in the forests. Ever since Tangaroa has been angry with Tāne for giving refuge to his runaway children. So it is that Tāne supplies the descendants of Tūmatauenga with canoes, fishhooks and nets to catch the descendants of Tangaroa. Tangaroa retaliates by swamping canoes and sweeping away houses, land and trees that are washed out to sea in floods.

Tāwhirimātea next attacks his brothers Rongo and Haumia-tiketike, the gods of cultivated and uncultivated foods. Rongo and Haumia are in great fear of Tāwhirimātea but, as he attacks them, Papa determines to keep these for her other children and hides them so well that Tāwhirimātea cannot find them. So Tāwhirimātea turns on his brother Tūmatauenga. He uses all his strength but Tūmatauenga stands fast and Tāwhirimatea cannot prevail against him. Tū stands fast and, at last, the anger of the gods subsided and peace prevailed.

Tū thought about the actions of Tāne in separating their parents and made snares to catch the birds, the children of Tāne who could no longer fly free. He then made nets from forest plants and casts them in the sea so that the children of Tangaroa soon lie in heaps on the shore. He made hoes to dig the ground, capturing his brothers Rongo and Haumia-tiketike where they have hidden from Tāwhirimātea in the bosom of the earth mother and, recognising them by their long hair that remains above the surface of the earth, he drags them forth and heaps them into baskets to be eaten. So Tūmatauenga eats all of his brothers to repay them for their cowardice; the only brother that Tūmatauenga does not subdue is Tāwhirimātea, whose storms and hurricanes attack humankind to this day. He is eaten, but not destroyed. In fact... none of them were.

Forms:

Channelling the Five: To put it simply: Māui has five god-like beings (just referred to as gods) trapped in his body, each formless and unable to do anything but be used. Each of these gods ruled over a domain in the past, and each of those powers can be channelled through into Māui's body. Only one can be channelled at a time, however, due to the argumentative nature of the siblings.

Tūmatauenga: The Maori God of War. Tūmatauenga is the primary combat form of Māui, and the God that he tends to channel the most often. The form that enhances the majority of his physical statistics, Tūmatauenga also has the fewest combat abilities--being primarily physical. However, he does carry a few tricks up his sleeve, in order to enhance the large skill that he already has in a fight. Due to his position as the ancestor of mankind, Tūmatauenga is probably the most compatible with Māui.

    • Tū-ka-riri (Tu the Angry) - Rage is a pinnacle factor in the power that Māui channels through Tūmatauenga. As more and more of his own hatred and strength grows within his mind, his entire body starts to increase as well. Although maintaining proportions, his muscle mass, height and weight all grow as he gets angrier. This reduces his speed and reaction time, however his strength increases in proportion to his size. As the rage subsides, so does his size.

    • Tū-ka-nguha (Tū the Fierce Fighter) - While fighting as Tūmatauenga, Māui becomes immune to the feelings of pain that may course through his body in a fight. The adrenaline flows so strongly through him that everything in the battle seems to have little effect, but rather serves to make him angrier, therefore stronger. He can still succumb to his wounds if injured enough, however.

    • Tū-kai-taua (Tū the Destroyer of Armies) - Māui's control over his immense strength becomes its greatest when fighting within Tūmatauenga. A singular swing of his greatsword allows for the maximum potential of the attack to be realized, and a great deal of enemies to fall to that swing, despite not being originally hit with the attack.

    • Tū-mata-whāiti (Tū the Cunning) - A cunning warrior, Māui's prowess in fighting without conflict is improved, and he becomes able to lay traps of Reishi that entangle and injure his opponents when they stand on them. Those who are masterful in sensing anomalies with their own powers can avoid them, though they're still extremely difficult to sense unless you're the pinnacle in sensing such things. He can lay two per post, and each is about a foot in diameter.

    • Tū-mata-uenga (Tū of the Angry Face) - Those of weak wills and weak minds cannot stand up to the Pukana of the Mighty Tūmatauenga himself. The angered face and scary visage upon Māui's face will send those with a Willpower of Beginner running in fear, no matter what. This generally includes low-level NPCs.


Tāwhirimātea: The Maori God of Weather, including thunder and lightning, wind, cloud, and storms. Tāwhirimātea is the most wild and unpredictable of the five brothers, due to his dislike for the four. He can be called at any time, but his powers are sometimes too great for Māui to handle. Unlike most of the Gods, who call upon their own powers, Tāwhirimātea summons each of his children to fight, who are formed into the natural power their names denote. When in this form, Māui is able to fly in the air constantly, powered simply by the winds that he now controls. His eyes also glow a bright silver, and his entire body seems to radiate a cool aura.

    • Apū-matangi (Whirlwinds) - The easiest child to call for Māui--Apu-matangi calls forth great whirlwinds that begin to whirl around Māui's body, separate from him and yet all together at the same time. Each of these is at the power of an F3 Tornado, capable of ripping a battlefield to shreds with little effort. This power is constantly active. When Māui first begins to channel Tāwhirimātea, he summons the first of these whirlwinds. He can either choose to control it at the time, or let it rampage--this can be changed at will. Every round after that, no matter the state of the first whirlwind, a new one will be summoned. Māui can control one whirlwind at a time, but he has the capacity for an unlimited number of them. They must stay within 500 feet of his body, or risk dissipating into nothing due to the lost connection.

    • Ao-pakarea (Clouds of Thunder Storms) - Ao-pakarea is the next child that Māui is able to summon while channelling Tāwhirimātea. This child is the child of thunderstorms, and is a rather simple summon to consider. Sacrificing two of the whirlwinds summoned by Apu-matangi, Māui is then able to cause the sky above to turn a dark grey, covering what seems like an endless area with cloud. In his next post, the sky begins to rumble with thunder, and lighting starts crackling and spreading over this cloud cover. At this point, Māui is able to direct up to two lightning strikes per post. Each strike is nearly-instantaneous, but may not do as much damage against targets with defenses against lightning. In the post, the lightning must strike two different places. Each subsequent post after the first usage of lightning, one whirlwind is sacrificed to keep this child alive, therefore disallowing Māui's stocks of whirlwinds from growing. If Māui chooses not to sacrifice a whirlwind, the clouds will dissipate within a single post.

    • Ua-nui (Terrible Rain) - Ua-nui, as his translated name makes obvious, is able to summon rain that will fall for a single round. This rain completely disrupts the vision of all those caught within, including Māui himself. By sacrificing one whirlwind, clouds will darken over in the sky. At the end of Māui's post, rain will begin to fall. This rain will persist until the end of Māui's next post. This rain will douse most fires, including spiritual ones--due to its powered nature.

    • Ua-roa (Long-Continued Rain) - Unlike his brother Ua-nui, Ua-roa creates rain that is not so heavy, but persists for a long time. This rain will not douse spiritual fires, but it will douse all others. The presence of the rain also makes movement slightly more difficult for all beings, due to its heaviness and constant falling. It lasts for five rounds, dissipating at the end of Māui's last post.

    • Ua-whatu (Fierce Hailstorms) - One of the brothers of the rain, Ua-whatu is capable of raining down attacks upon Māui's enemies. Although each one alone may not be capable of causing damage, when hundreds of hailstones are fired upon the Earth at a speed that rivals that of pistol bullets, they tend to cause great damage to the unprotected. Sacrificing two whirlwinds in his first post and then a single one each subsequent post, Māui has to take shelter within the confines of one of his own whirlwinds, or risk being damaged himself--the whirlwinds start spreading the hail further, making it more dangerous to those within its confines. He can only keep this hailstorm up for six rounds at a maximum, before being forced to return to normal.

    • Hau-maringi (Mist) - Not technically one of Tāwhirimātea's children, but a grandchild--Hau-maringi is still exceptionally worrisome to deal with. By sacrificing all whirlwinds at the time, and disallowing himself from summoning any more in each subsequent post, Māui is able to create a pea-soup fog that surrounds him and spreads out over 500 metres. At this point, everything is obscured for everyone except Māui. He is able to see, and it's as if it doesn't exist for him. This fog cannot be dissipated by most abilities, and usually needs to be blasted away by one of Māui's whirlwinds. Therefore, this ability can end in two ways.
      • Māui can summon a whirlwind and dissipate it in a single post.
      • Māui changes forms. At this point, the mist will last for two more rounds. After one round, it will have faded to allow for 50% visibility. After the second, it will be completely gone. By the end of Māui's post at the start of the third round, visibility will be perfect for all beings within the fog.


Tāne Mahuta - Tāne Mahuta, also simply known as Tane, is the Maori God of Forests and of Birds. Known as the progenitor of humankind, Tane has, as you would imagine, dominion over the forests and birds--capable of summoning powerful objects with sweeping movements of his hands.
