    Character Information
    • Full Name: Hunapoc Faolan Hahoona
    • Race: Half-Fin'ullen (Gallovian Ailor Recessive)
      • Ngāti-Moana culture
    • Age: 25
    • Gender: Male
    • Eye Color:Bright blue
    Core Concept
    • Religion: Hunapoc is indifferent to formal religion, but does take care to respect the elemental spirits of the Nÿalu by seeking natural balance. He has a passing awareness of both the Estellon gods and of his father's Old Gods faith but doesn't worship them. Even Morrlond is more of a figure to be feared and respected rather than worshipped.
    • Concept: Hunapoc is a man seeking balance and harmony in himself - born between the cold north and warm sands, seeking stability and craving freedom, and both fighting and embracing the beast within him. To first meet him, he appears as a cheerful and confident young musician and medic, but this masks waves of stormy turmoil over the fear of losing control and the temptation of blood-pumping freedom.

    Appearance Information
    • Mutations: The most consistent and notable of Hunapoc's mutations are his sharp-pointed teeth, reflective eyes, and dark-grey blunt claws for nails. Other mutations that he toggles on and off with [Ocean Affinity]/[Watercrest] are patches of spotted seal skin on his arms and torso, a cascade of turbulent black water replacing his hair, and a general dark opalescent sheen over his skin.
    • General Appearance: Hunapoc strongly resembles his mother with his sturdy build, light brown skin, curly black hair, and bright blue eyes, though he is of somewhat smaller stature and has softer facial features and ears than a full-Fin'ullen. There are, however, some nods to his father's people in his choice of jewelry and tattoos, featuring intricate knotwork and swirling patterns that blend nicely with the native Ngati-Moana styles. He favors bold colors and natural materials in his clothing and loves wearing accessories that clink and clatter against each other as he moves. There is a dark brown tattoo of a howling wolf's head on his right shoulder and one of a knotwork seal wrapping around his left forearm.
    • Aquatic Form: Hunapoc's favored aquatic form is that of the leopard seal, seeing it as a creature that travels from northern waters all the way to his native islands in the winter, as well as having grown up with stories of seal-folk in Aontaithe folklore. He can transform into any stage between full-seal to only taking some elements, but his preferred shape is to take the body of a seal from below his ribs, allowing the skin to reach up his chest and around his back, shoulders, and face, but to retain his natural head and arms.
    • Marken Form: Hunapoc's Marken form, which he calls 'Coomara', is of a lithe and athletic Wolf Marken with midnight-black fur, sleek and appearing as though recently emerged from the water, though a very close (and dangerous) inspection would reveal many dark grey spots speckled all over its back. The Marken's underbelly is light grey and its eyes are bright purple.
    Life Story
    • Childhood: Hunapoc was born at sea after an Ailor trading vessel encountered a group of exploring Ngati-Moana Fin'ullen and, as it turned out, goods were not the only thing being traded. To Kaialla's surprise, her lover Faolan insisted on staying with her and helping to raise their son, and so the small family spent many happy years traveling between verdant islands and making voyages into cold northern waters. Here, Hunapoc learned about many different places and developed a hungry and roving curiosity to learn more.
    • Adolescence: As the boy approached his teenage years, his father became more and more anxious to get him back onto land, insisting that something terrible would happen if he was on the ship when he came of age. Eventually, they made port and Faolan quickly brought him out into the wilderness to prepare for what he knew was coming - the arrival of Markenism.
    • Early Adulthood: Hunapoc and his family spent the next several years on the smaller ships and scattered islands of the Ngati-Moana, where he began to study traditional music and medicine with Kaialla. Meanwhile, his father continued to teach him about Markenism and about the culture of his northern homeland, though taking care not to reveal their nature to anybody except for Kaialla. Although initially frightened by his transformations, Hunapoc slowly began to embrace them as part of his identity.
    • Regalia: However, Hunapoc was less experienced in controlling himself than his father and, after being relentlessly mocked by a peer for being a half-breed, flew into a rage and killed the young man. When the fury faded from his eyes and he transformed back into himself, he stared in horror at what he had done and then in terror as he saw the young girl peeking out at him from behind the bushes. As the girl turned and fled towards the village, Hunapoc found himself facing a choice - to chase after her or flee for the port on the other side of the island. He chose the latter, hoping that, somehow, he could be forgiven for what he had done.

    And it shall come to pass on a summer's day
    When the sun shines bright on every stone.
    I'll come and take my little young son
    And teach him how to swim the foam.

    Character design/concept sketch

    A previous aquatic form design. I may redo it sometime specifically for Hunapoc, but for now, this is still canon with the exception of skin-tone and tattoos.

    Previous character design. In new canon, I suppose this can actually be considered Hunapoc's father, except Ailor instead of Fin'ullen. But I just think it's neat to compare different iterations of the same character.
