Description
Máktuu’kál, at first glance, could be described as popular, knowledgeable, resourceful, laid back, kind, and stubborn. His clothing style is always lax and flowing, some may even call it lazy. As pictured above he can be seen wearing overalls with no shirt, one strap undone, and no shoes when he’s in Desnind hanging out around the Fire Pit with the other hunters. When in the Lori he will have a plain tunic on underneath the overalls and a pair of soft leather shoes on his feet. He is always wearing his large necklace made of thick, braided and wrapped silver cords with turquoise stones as well as a septum piercing and an eyebrow ring. Tuu’s hair will always be picked out to a full afro even in the Lori, often leading to sticks, twigs, leaves, and sometimes even bugs to find their way into his hair. This doesn’t seem to bother him much though.
It’s well known that Tuu makes his living by hunting, fishing, tanning, and training people. If you ask him to be your trainer he will only ask to take what he catches for his own, leaving what you catch to be yours. He’s also known to train people in self-defense with the gnarled quarterstaff he can be seen using as a walking stick in the Lori. Everyone around Desnind knows him as a resourceful and honest person. He is someone who can get things done and can be found more often than not at the center of gossip for the city. When not in the city you will find him fishing at the Tosibeere River, he is very willing to talk and help you.
Tuu’s facial expression is generally aloof. This Sev’ryn man is simply laid back and takes everything in stride. Being knowledgeable about the Lori and often in the know about gossip around Desnind he hates being contradicted for something he
knows he knows and will not budge even if he’s wrong. He’s not an angry type and will give the “silent monk” treatment if pushed and annoyed on the matter as he is quite the pacifist.
All and all he his a friendly person and his stories are a known trait around Desnind. It’s one of his favorite past times to sit around the Fire Pit with a crowd and tell stories of far off places, races, people and deeds. His stories vary from children’s tales to perhaps more adult tales with a horror flavor-- though only if you ask! While telling his stories Tuu will use his whole body, throwing his arms around in the air or making faces to match the tale.
Beware his cooking!
