Maui'To

Fallen Aasimar Druid (Circle of the Moon)

Far Traveller

(Based loosely on Maui from Moana)

History

Among the islands of the great expanse of ocean between Kara-Tur and Maztica live a sea-going people with legends and history strange and unknown to the people of Faerun.  Among their legends is the story of Maui'to, a shapeshifting demigod of the sea, who granted untold bounty to the sea-peoples. Sadly, Maui'to's legend ends in tragedy. He attempted to steal a great artifact from the goddess Ishtishia. He was caught and placed under a terrible curse. Until the world ends or Maui'to pays penance for his sins (whichever comes first), he must wander the world as a mortal, doing deeds of glory to earn favor with the goddess of water. With each death, he is reborn into a mortal child who eventually learns his true identity and starts the cycle anew.

This Maui'To is the latest incarnation of the ancient demigod. After many lifetimes, he's learned that his homelands are unable to provide him sufficient opportunity to pay his penance, so he's struck out toward Faerun in hopes he will have greater chances there.

Description

Maui'to is a large gregarious man with tanned skin and black hair. He is jovial, but arrogant and self-centered. He is bitter over his long punishment, feeling his deeds should have long since earned him recompense for his sins. He soldiers on in this newest lifetime, hoping his deeds will finally earn him his place among the gods once more.

After each deed of renown and glory, Maui'to's skin reveals a tattoo that depicts the deed. After many lifetimes, his skin is covered with these tattoos, which shift and make way when new deeds are added. In his childhoods, these tattoos remain invisible until the day comes when he realizes the truth of his identity and then they manifest anew.
