Tribe: Pode-da (main) and Sawa-da
Magical Abilities / Skills: He is the most powerful mage in Pode-da, likely due to his mixed heritage. He is skilled in purification, herbalism, shapeshifting, and healing. However, he is entirely useless in combat as his skills aren’t for fighting and he doesn’t know how or care to learn to use a weapon.
Ranking: High Priest. He has earned respect equal or greater to that which is often given to the elders.
Personality: Very formal, yet kind. He is very humble and returns compliments and gifts right when he is able. He has a very serene air about him and is often found meditating. He is very in tune with nature and often has wildlife curling around him for naps. He is very wise and great to speak to for comfort and advise.
Location and Occupation: Due to the minor issue of everyone agreeing to split up, no pairs allowed, and how he is completely useless in combat even with a weapon, Ina stays near the tribes’ territories in the forest. He views the old villages from afar every day in search of anyone who might have returned.
Extra: His human form contains so much extra mana that it seems to spill out of him. To solve this problem, he stores his power in his earings, and maintains a small part of his animal form so he does not waste energy. His full animal form turns him into a centaur of sorts. That is, if there are deer centaurs.
His father was a purifier and his grandmother a diviner, both in the Sawa-da Tribe, and his mother was an herbalist and his grandfather a shapeshifter from Pode-da. This lucky combination resulted in an almost legendary outcome, as normally children with mixed blood were born without magical affinities.
The elders took this as an obvious sign Ino was blessed by the gods, and the child was immediately appointed as a High Priest, a beloved icon to both villages.
Of his own will, he stayed mainly in Pode-da, the place of his birth, though he would travel to Sawa-da if he was needed or there was a celebration for him to attend.
