Name: Cheveyo Viho Wanageeska
Age: Appears to be 19; really is about 1,000.
Sex: Male
Species: Chepi; Shaman
Nationality: Native American; Abenaki [footnote:1] The Abenaki are a tribe of Native American and First Nations people, one of the Algonquian-speaking peoples of northeastern North America. The Abenaki live in the New England region of the United States and Quebec and the Maritimes of Canada, a region called Wabanaki "Dawn Land" in the Eastern Algonquian languages. The Abenaki are one of the five members of the Wabanaki Confederacy. "Abenaki" is a linguistic and geographic grouping; historically there was not a strong central authority, but as listed below a large number of smaller bands and tribes who shared many cultural traits. [/footnote][footnote:2] His Native Tongue is Malecite-Passamaquoddy. But he speaks slightly broken english and also a variety of European languages. [/footnote]
Abilities/Strengths:
Perception - He has a full apprehension of his senses and mind. He can understand some of the hardest drawn things.
Elemental Use - They can mostly use anything around him to protect himself or others. Though he has one element he is better at than all. He just doesn't share that information. [footnote:3]Air is his forte. Earth is the hardest for him.[/footnote]
Ancestral Spirit - Any spirits (like himself) can be contacted through him witht he perceptions and dreams, or signs that the Shaman gathers together.
Magic - Though "magic" is widely used for various things. The magic I'm speaking of is where he can promote things to happen with his will. Like if he didn't want to/couldn't move, he could summon something closer to him for him to take ahold of.
Shifting - He has the power to be able to shift into an animal, and the form he commonly takes is a Silver Wolf (Malsom), or Black Bear (Muwin).
Inabilities/Weaknesses:
Quiet - He is very soft- spoken, and he hardly talks which makes him seem mute.
Empathy - Being a shaman, he can understand some of people's deepest thoughts and sorrow. He can understand and feel how another feels, making him quite sensitive.
Cynical - He thinks that MOST people are motivated by their own self-interest. He trys to get people to think different and is often viewed as a peace-keeper.
Indifferent - His always seems indifferent, even though he is the most caring person one can know. He tries to protect everybody as a whole, but sometimes can't save those few poor souls.
Demons - The one thing he hates are demons. He has no trust for them and he thinks of all them as horrible monsters. Though he can't always tell who is or is not one. As much as he hates them, he is polite towards them.
Depth Perception - Because of him being blinded in his left eye, his depth perception is weird, though he's mostly gotten used to it.
Illness - He seems to never be sick but he has a disease which causes his lungs and throat to be extremely weak. He can barely talk and breathing is a hard labor.

Occupation: Wandering Shaman
Appearance:
Cheveyo has a lithe body of a male, tall and broad but still soft.[footnote:4] He has three scars on his chest on the left side, they were from a bear attack at the village he lived in when he was younger. [/footnote] His skin is a light tan color and contrasts barely with his medium gray - blue hair. His hair usually falls a couple inches below his broad shoulders, some pieces of his hair has dark crimson bone beads. His left eye is always covered by a thick black cloth eyepatch which also has beads at the end of the edges, while his right eye glems a soft gray blue. [footnote:5] -Insert sob story- xD Nahh.
His brothers and him were playing when they were young; he tripped and fell, injuring his eye somehow.[/footnote] His clothes consist of a long sleeved shirt that is under a poncho-like layer of hide to cover his torso. His bottom is clothed by simple slightly baggy trousers/pants with a skirt like layer over the pants, it's only for the extra layer. There are extra pieces of hide that covers his legs below the knee. Leaving just his shoes which are also made out of hide, but they are layered heavily and stitched together for them to be thick.

Life Story:
During Life-
Cheveyo lived a sad life, surprisingly. He was young when he died, which is why he seems younger than other Chepis or Shamans. Though his wisdom is earned mostly through his life. His Father was the Shaman of his Tribe before he had been, so his Father had taught him many things. Mostly it was medicine, how to talk to the spirits, and how to shift to an animal form. But since a Shaman was mainly the leader of the Tribe, his Father also taught him patience, willingness, and observance.
His Childhood was not really a Childhood one would have. Since he was the next Shaman in line, he was robbed of the chance of a childhood causing him to act more mature than most. This is how he became distant from others and also slightly mute-like. He wasn't able to talk much because many illnesses have fallen upon him to make his throat and lungs weak.
A battle between his Tribe and Foreigners broke out after the Tribe finally got tired of what they were doing to our food sources. hunting them and leaving them to rot. His Father had made him hide in the Nursing tent when the battle broke out so that he wouldn't be in harms way. But as the battle progressed, most of his Tribe was killed. The rest was sent around parts of the world to be slaves. He was sent to England as a slave at the age of 16. He didn't sale for much because of his eye being injured and the scars on his chest and also the fact that they were Native Americans. But his Captures called him "Indians" which he had never heard of before.
He died of food poisoning. He was a food tester to see if poison was in it before it was eaten or drank by the family he served. Unfortunately, it did and it caused him to died a slow and agonizing death. That was at the age of 17, almost about to turn 18.
After Life-
Cheveyo was summoned a few years after his death, the experience changing his soul to a wandering Chepi with Shaman powers. He had lost everything and he could never get it back.. But it didn't mean he couldn't help others, and encourage them to do what was right. He tried to get people to see the good instead of the bad.
He lost his way and is currently stranded in London. He is a type of street rat that needs no food, no shelter, and no warmth. Though he desires it, he doesn't need it. He's more like that of a spirit anyways. He has learned how to defend himself with various types of weapons because of the long life he's had. He's also learned many European languages which gives him an upper hand when he talks. He usually motions more than talking because he's still mostly mute.
Not much is really known about Cheveyo besides the basic facts and stories he tells to the children wandering the streets, like him. He doesn't ever give out too much information.
