General Appearance: Anatoni would appear to be a very intimidating man, standing at 6’5” with broad shoulders and defined muscles, if it weren’t for the grin he often has on his face. His dark complexion is pair with dark eyes and hair to match. His hair, wavy at all times (even when weighed down from being wet), is shoulder length and there’s hardly ever a time it’s not that long. Though facial hair is more likely to change. He’s been clean-shaven, he’s grown a beard, and currently he dawns a goatee.

Personality: Something of a gentle giant, Anatoni’s face more often than not seems friendly with a small smile. His overall personality is friendly and warm, though slow. He meanders. In everything he does. He never feels rushed or hurried. He lives by the motto of ‘I’ll get there when I get there’. Relaxation is the key to life in his opinion. If you aren’t relaxed in something you’re doing, than you’re doing the wrong thing. He has no patience or acceptance for drama; it’s too disturbing and ruins the calm he tries to hold on to. The rare occurrence he is angry, he’ll loom and glower until he simply walks away from a person.

History

It’s Anatoni’s opinion that the life he’s lived has been rather boring and mundane. It’s not been a bad life, no. But nothing that’s all that extraordinary has really ever happened to him.



Anatoni was born on the Hawaiian island of Lanai on August 6th, 1976. Her pregnancy with Anatoni was what led to his mother retiring as a dancer as she wanted to be able to stay home with him and eventually his sister as well. From an early age, Anatoni and Leilani were taught to have a deep respect for the earth, animals, and nature as a whole. Before they had even begun attending school, their mother would teach them what she could of the plants and animals, land and water, that surrounded their home. As such, they all spent as much time as they could outside.



When both children were away in school, Anela began teaching traditional Hawaiian dance in the family home. Often times, the children would come home as their mother was still teaching and would take great fun in practicing with the women learning the skill.



Up until Anatoni was eleven, his life was relatively mundane. Good, but not very special otherwise. Until one day when he was eleven. Anatoni had been running late for school. As he ran, he tried to push his burning muscles even faster since he wasn’t particularly fond of his teacher and didn’t want to get in trouble with her. A silly thought had popped into his head. How much easier would it be if he could simply fly to school? Despite his desperation, he smiled and spread his arms to the side as if he were flying. But then it seemed as if he actually were flying.



For a brief moment, he seemed to be soaring through the air. But then the next moment, he was tumbling to the ground. And it only become more peculiar after that. He realized, lying on the ground, he wasn’t him. Not really him at least. He was different now. Smaller. Tiny even. Confusion and fear had him paralyzed in place and wondering what had happened. He wasn’t sure how, but suddenly he was back to himself and doubling over as pain coursed through his body.



He ended up being late that day. Very late.



Though he’d kept the incident a secret to himself, two weeks later a person had shown up on the family’s doorstep and took him off to a school called Hammel.



Hammel had been the biggest change to his life. And it had next to nothing to do with the fact that he went to a school for Meta-Humans. Ok, so a little bit it had to do with going to school for Meta-Humans. But a lot of it also had to do with the vast differences between this life and island life. He was used to taking it slow, easying his way through everything.



But things were so much more rushed, making everybody seem frantic. It was overwhelming and on more than one occurrence, Anatoni begged for his parents to take him home, to leave that place.



It wasn’t enough to simply go home on breaks. It wasn’t enough to only sometimes see his family. And he was shocked that nobody seemed to appreciate nature as he always had been taught to.



Though, by the end of his second year, he’d gotten his bearings. He became more familiar and comfortable. He began to realize that life was just different in some places. Once he accepted that, his own life became easier. Friends were more easily found and his new home didn’t seem so bad.



After college, there was a struggle in deciding whether of not to return home or stay near Hammel. How well did he truly know any of his friends in Hawaii anymore though? So he made the decision to stay in Pilot Ridge and get a job while attending community college.



After that, life seemed to be easy sailing. After graduating with an Associates in the Arts, he began looking for a job that felt more permanent to him than a retail shop. He was twenty-seven when he heard that his old school was looking for a security guard. And with lots of walking and outside time, it seemed nearly perfect to Anatoni.



Ten years later and Anatoni is still walking the grounds and helping to keep order in the school. He now has a two bedroom townhouse just on the edge of town, putting just about all his regular spots within walking distance.

Roleplay Example

There once was a princess name Cuppy. Life became difficult for her and she needed a very much needed and appreciated break where she could just be alone within herself. After such time, she decided it was time to return to her friends in a beautiful and mythical place called Hammel.
