Age: 17
Celeb: Siman Baker III
Ethnicity: Native
Job: Scout
Residence: Sioux
Weapons: An axe with bagie leather wrapping and red string holding the sharp stone part in place. He also has made arrows and a medium bow.
Appearance: Standing at 5’7 with a well-toned body Wahkan is in good shape. His hair is a black color like all Sioux and goes down to his mid-back if left untied or unbraided. His eyes are a deep brown but light due to inheriting it from his mother. His skin like all Native Americans, or the majority is tanned. His face is round he has a strong jaw and nose, and full lips. Clothing for Wahkan consists of buckskin pants with various leather strings hanging off the outer sides. And mochicans upon his feet. His upper torso if warm enough he’ll wear nothing except a deer skin sash for holding his arrows and bow. In winter Wahkan will wear a long sleeve buckskin shirt and it is very cold wrap himself in buffalo fur blanket.
Personality: Wahkan is a very opinionated young man. He’ll speak his mind when not even asked the question, which to some is considered rude, and he’ll just say anything that is on his mind. Which in the native culture isn’t considered to polite to interrupt but Wahkan is still trying his best to learn. Wahkan most of the time though is a caring, outgoing and opinionated young man, he’ll try her hardest at most things till he gets them right, or till he thinks he did. He’s also very stubborn, getting it from his father, and will always believe he is right, and try and find a poor excuse to prove so. All and all Wahkan is a young Sioux native that is headstrong, strong willed and full of opinions.
History: Wahkan was born in late December when the snow had started to melt and the trees were regaining life again. His mother Skydance, had a hard time giving birth but after she was too happy to realize any pain. Both of Wahkan’s parents were Sioux his father Smoke Owl, was a warrior and a high one at that and his mother was a fabric maker along with a small group of woman in their tribe. Growing up Wahkan had it well, a strong family, tribe and soon a little sister who ended up following him everywhere. When he was thirteen he was given his first Mustang as a gift for being successful in his first buffalo hunt. Wahkan ended up naming the horse Grey Cloud.
When he was fourteen his mother became ill in mid-December and the medicine man of their tribe could heal nothing. They even sought help from a bigger tribe nearby but still nothing. She passed away in the cold night. Wahkan was stricken with grief and his father didn’t go on hunts for a full month. So Wahkan did it for him, he knew his father was in pain and as Wahkan started to scout with other young boys his age he was soon seen as a scout. His father ended up well again and started to hunt and do what was needed to protect his two children and his duty as a warrior.
Then the white men came, invading Wahkan and his people’s land. His father has forbidden Wahkan from seeing or talking to these people, Wahkan has agreed to listen. But for how long.
