Magical Teacher Professor Landry! - Patch 3.0

Name: Kohana Akecheta
Race: Demon
Class: Wolf God Wannabe
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Aura: Dusty Forest Green

Appearance: 5'10" tall, with straight black hair that falls to the middle of his back. Black, fur-covered wolf's ears top his head, and are normally hidden under a black and white patterned bandana which keeps his hair out of his amber eyes. His skin is deeply tanned and gives him away as a member of a Native tribe; this is made painfully obvious by his habitual removal of shirts, should he even be wearing one. He always wears a pair of loose cloth pants, dyed black and covered in white patterns similar to those found on his bandana. These same patterns are tattooed on his back and arms. Around his waist is usually seen a very fuzzy black belt; though lately he's taken to simply stuffing his tail into his pants. His feet are usually left uncovered as well; if he owns a pair of shoes, nobody else knows about them.

Abilities:
Alpha Hunter: Kohana's village relied on a group of hunters to provide meat and skins; this has not changed much over the years. As the Wolf's chosen, Kohana was eligible to lead the hunting party from an early age. A seasoned tracker and survivor on the plains and in the forests, Koh learned very quickly to keep tabs on those he deemed pack-worthy, and is capable of tracking such people by magically attuned senses. Only affects people Kohana actually likes. Current pack-mates are Adeline, Diana, Hie, Landry, Sao, Sean, Shin, Sieg, Twitch

Hunter's Step:Koh grew up in heavily wooded areas, and continues to visit the woods near the Amaranth Institue. He's developed a method of moving through the woods quickly and quietly, making him both fast and difficult to see while in wooded areas.

Armsman: Koh is proficient in all of the weapons of his people, as is expected of the Guardian of his village. Knives, shields, javelins, and the bow and arrow rest comfortably in his hands, but his twin tomahawks are his pride and joy. He is a master-class fighter when using them, and generally attempts to adapt them to whichever style of combat he's studying.

Summon Axes: Koh has enchanted his axes so that he can summon and dismiss them at will, for a minimal mana cost per summon/dismissal.
Deflection: Koh's axes, now magically enhanced, can be used to parry and deflect most spells.

Brawler: Koh can throw a punch when unarmed, and is pretty scrappy when he needs to be. His work in Caporeia has really only enhanced this; he now fights in a stylized form of caporeia that mimics the movements taught by his instructor with some of his own flair. Has grasped the basic forms of caporeia, and is slowly adding his own axe-based fighting style into them.

Strong Legs: Koh is a powerful kicker, and has enjoyed being one for many years. His time training in caporeia has enhanced this, giving him the ability to boost the power of his kicks much higher; high enough to break walls, and shatter bones.

Spirit Conduit: Koh can open himself to the spirits around him, making minor powers and abilities his own while using templates to bring more powerful spells to bear. As a basic ability, it also only affects that particular spirit's domain; channeling Sao's power would only allow Kohana manipulation of the Amaranth waters, not water in general.

Materialize: Kohana can, via touch, put a spell on spirits that gives them - or rather, forces them into - a physical form for a short time. Previously this has been used to exorcise spirits from inanimate objects, and theoretically can work on Artificial Intelligence; though you would have a fun time explaining what that means to Kohana.
Spirit Sense: To Kohana, each spirit exudes a particular scent, one separate from humans. The presence of nearby spirits also makes Koh's ears and tail bristle.
Wolf Boost: The spirit of his people's Wolf God resides inside of Kohana, granting him the ability to enhance spirits and overcharge their powers when channeled through Kohana's body. Doesn't affect spells that originate from the Wolf.

Upheaval: While the Wolf God is a creation deity for Koh's people, Kohana himself can't make things out of thin air and dreams. He can, however, manipulate the Earth his patron created; sand, rocks, dust, minerals - the forces of the Earth are at his fingertips. Can be combined with other elemental manipulations drawn through Spirit Conduit for impressive Nature spells. Cannot be enhanced by Wolf Boost.

Bio: A young man from a remote Native village in the U.S., Kohana Akecheta took up the mantle of Wolf Shaman at a young age; likely because his mother, the previous Wolf Shaman, died giving birth to the boy. At only a few years old, he was deemed (apparently) worthy, and suddenly found himself learning to be the next Wolf Shaman. This change, naturally, made Kohana something of a jerk to be around; after all, if you grew up with a God inside you, the power would go to your head too. He was eventually sent (forced) to Amaranth as a means of both getting his feet wet in the real world and cool his heels, and as a chance for everyone in his village to breathe easy for a little while.

After the nightmare about the Field of Honor, and Koh's utter conviction that these events actually transpired, he has done just that; training has taken the forefront of his thoughts, and he is determined to become an exemplary Wolf Shaman.

Classes:

Love and Fightiology (A+)
Archery (B-)
Birdwatching (A+)
Caporeia (B+)
Soccer (C)

Relationships:
Sieglind Tressel - A young violet eyed boy who Kohana met three years ago, and was caught up in the incident concerning the rogue Magic-User. Sieglind is Katherine Tressel's younger, much quieter, brother, an extremely talented Shaman in his own right, and questionably human. Currently, he attends Amaranth, and has Kohana sharing (what should be) his single occupancy dorm. He seems to look up to Kohana - who (out of concern?) has bonded him using their blood.

Katherine Tressel - Sieg�s, equally violet eyed, over protective, and much racist sister. Like Sieglind, Katherine met Kohana at the outset of the incident three years ago, back when she still owned a bar. Now, she's the CEO of her (deceased) parent's weapon's company, and works part-time on the Amaranth Campus, instructing students in the use of fire arms. She also dabbles in Wizardry.

Wanagi Wiyohiyanpa - A Shaman from Kohana's home, and the first member of Kohana's tribe to attend or work at the Amaranth Institute for the Gifted. Like most of Kohana's associates, he was involved in the incident three years ago. He currently runs the birdwatching club, and periodically mentors Kohana, Sieglind and Hie in the Shamanic Arts. He�s usually found on the roof of a school building, though its not clear if he's awake, or just staring at the sky. Kohana created a bond with him, using their blood, before he left the reservation a year ago.

Hie Mica - Kohana�s cousin (not by blood) and fellow Spirit Vessel. Perhaps as a result of the spirit possessing her, the Trickster God Coyote, Hie delights in tricking and frustrating people, but has little patience for long hours of study. As a result, she takes her Shaman training even less seriously than Kohana, and to date, has only learned abilities to frustrate and compete with her cousin. Even so, she has proven to be a capable magic-user, and participated in the incident three years ago. She enrolled herself in Amaranth (perhaps against the elder's wishes) so she could stay close to her main source of entertainment, Kohana.
