Personal Information

Appearance

Nikai is male Kiffar who stands at approximately 1.8 metres and with 75 kilograms. Due to the natural physique of the Kiffar people, and the nature of his militaristic duties, Nikai has an athletic build with nimble features. Looking at the man, one cannot easily see his racial tattoos, or qukuuf., as normally seen on the faces of the Kiffar. As is custom, his tribe chooses to place their markings in the extremities primarily; however many have qukuuf on the torso proper and back. Behind this, Nikai has fair skin. Unlike the Kiffar on Kiffex, there are a greater number of light-skinned tribes.

History

Tonnak Pride

Nikai was born to Abani and her husband Kanem Tonnak, the chief of Clan Tonnak, on Year -9 Day 338. Their first child, Nikai was raised with the expectation to one day lead the tribe. From an early age the young Kiffar joined his father and other men in the wildlife hunts. Due to Kiffu's rugged terrain the varying fauna had very tough exteriors. The hunters had to work expertly together to take down even a single beast. Besides the hunt Nikai learned skills from his mother. From utilizing local herbs and roots to cooking, Nikai's parents wished to fully prepare him. Their second born, Nidu Tonnak, was born when Nikai was 10. Despite being the second, Abani and Kanem treated both children as equals and held both to the same prestige. The Tonnak tribe was proud to have a strong son and daughter to carry them into the next generation.

Rise of Kiffu

When Nikai reached 18 years of age, his father decided it was time for his son to obtain leadership experience. Chief Kanem stepped down provisionally with Nikai's first action being to declare war on the rival Nabovu tribe. Both tribes had been at odds for centuries with the Nabovu claiming the former's land. With the young leader's unique tactics Clan Tonnak emerged victorious and subjugated the Nabovu. Nikai stepped down after this and informed his father that he would like to lead the tribe, but that he wishes to first venture our into the stars.
