Name: Asazi New Medicine
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Location: a beach between The Hatchery and Crystal Caverns (closer to the caverns)
Personality: Asazi is quiet and shamanic/spiritual, really enjoys being out in nature, doesn't like city life, more comfortable around non-humans. He has learned to communicate with animals and nature spirits due to the shamanic path he chose to follow. Asazi also has strong survival skills.
Effects: He just has his backpack. In it he has a change of clothes, a couple books, a few crystals, a spirit pouch, and a few snacks.
How you ended up on the island: Asazi was flying from the United States to the Phillipines to help out at a wildlife sanctuary for a year and the plane went down in a storm between Honolulu and Manila. He survived the crash and was brought to the nearest beach by dolphins. Back in the United States he worked as a Wild Animal Rescuer/Rehabilitator and was VERY passionate about his work. He has Native American heritage and has been following a shamanic path, though he mixes a few 'new age' aspects in with it.
Earth, Air or Water: Strongly Earth

Breath deep, Asazi.
Considering the turn Gurney took with Dinotopia in TWB, your character should fit in nicely. Not that I approve.
Welcome regardless and do good work,

What do you mean by that? If you find the character to be offensive then let me know, I don't want to offend anyone. I wanted to base the character around myself RL. I just made him more skillful and gave him a different ancestry.

Don't worry, your character is great.

Asazi:
I mean no offense and would not have you change your character. Our characters come from the deep out of ourselves and are a good form of self-expression.
I just don't care for the turn Gurney took in TWB. I'm not a big fan of spiritism and mysterious powers. These elements have their place in many exciting movies and books, but I just personally feel that the Ruby Sunstone and the vision elements in TWB do not really fit into the Dinotopia James started to develope in ALAFT. I do appreciate the possibilities that the Ruby Sunstone has opened up, only spiritism's many facets strike me as more appropiate to wild fantasies with dragons and mystical shaiemens and wizards and alien cultures. I can't honestly say I like the Disney's Atlantian "ancient culture/advanced technology" overtones Gurney introduced in TWB.
I will say one thing; Gurney has certainly left his options wide open.

P.S. I actually like your character very much, Asazi. I could use him myself. I just dislike the supernatural. I'm rather fond of the Native Indian naming system; such descriptive names!

No offense taken, and thanks for explaining what you meant.
I'm learning animal communication RL and try to do energy healing (mostly with crystals), as I have Asazi being able to do, but he's not a great miracle worker or anything. Most of Asazi's work is through herbs and ritual and some crystals. He's also humble and respectful with what he does.
Anyways, On another note, I don't get online too much, and don't think I can RP at the level of what I've seen here so far, yet. That's why I haven't jumped in anything or started my own RP. I plan to eventually though.
And thank you all for the welcomes, sorry I didn't thank you earlier.

You are welcome Asazi. While I don't fully agree with healing with crystals and herbs, I see no point why you can't use them in the RPs. Dinotopia is a place where different cultures and religions live together in peace (Unlike my homeschool group LOL) I look forward to seeing you in the RPs.

*screams in a very high-pitch* You do energy healing?!?!?! I am SOOO excited to write with you, then! My mom does RET, and I'm thinking of talking some Reiki and/or animal communication classes when I'm old enough as well!! By the by, I like crystals, too, particularly Rose Quartz. -Arithia
