Tamati Paewai

Tamati was born and raised in Sulani, having a fairly simple background with a special connection to the island. At a young age he found himself alone after being the last of his family.
==Appearance and Personality==
He is a dark-skinned, straight-haired, wide-eyed native of the Polynesian ethnic group that makes up Sulani. Tamati is known for being cringe-worthy, amusing to some, but quite embarrassing to most. He is playful and loves the outdoors.
==Personal Life==
After living in Sulani where Tamati had had two children whom he didn't remember due to events that caused him to lose his memory in moments of mental instability where he wandered lost for a while, he eventually recovered and Tamati decided to move on with his life after no longer having a home, it was then that Peter Monahan offered Tamati a stay at his house in Evergreen Harbor, as he had been charmed by him. Tamati had told him that he was bisexual and they had had intimate relations that night, but Peter had discovered that Tamati wasn't really interested in Peter, considering him unattractive, because he thought he was using Peter, he decided to send him away from his house, so once again Tamati was on the street.
Aimless, he found his livelihood in Strangerville when he met Destinee Hanson, who offered him a job as a dancer and prostitute at her small, simple bar, Jasmine Bar, where he could work and earn his own money, and Tamati stayed at Ruddy's Motel, which was just off the street. Working in the bar, Paewai ended up getting a client pregnant, who gave birth to Tamati's daughter.
Tamati went on to do other minor jobs, even appearing in a reality TV show made by Timo Kamov via streaming in Sulani, where he gained a certain visibility and because he knew the place well, but the reality show didn't go very well and had only a few episodes, so Tamati didn't change his life much and stayed in the bar. One day, he arrived at Bay Photography Studio in Brindleton Bay to be photographed by Blaine Monahan for local records. After having his photo taken, Tamati was still in the studio talking to a boy who approached him, called Cecil Christiansen, who showed an interest in Paewai and began to gently flirt with him, who responded by saying that if Cecil wanted to have sex with him, he should pay, that it was the only way he would have anything to do with a desperate man like him, embarrassed Cecil went into one of the cupboards to hide himself in shame, Tamati prepared to leave.
Blaine saw Cecil hiding in the closet and asked what he was doing. Cecil told him what had happened, but Blaine was a priest of a coven in which the entity he worshipped had ordered a person he was going to refer to pay with his life for a mistake he had made in one of the rituals he had previously performed, in order to balance the lost energy. But Blaine didn't have anyone to recommend and he was running out of time. Knowing that Tamati could be a rude guy, he decided on impulse to recommend him, even though Paewai was just having a bad day, but Blaine was running out of time and Tamati was in the wrong place at the wrong time and did the wrong thing. Blaine pointed him out to his entity in charge of leading Tamati to his death, when Tamati left the studio, he took off through the streets and was almost run over, the entity's first attempt failed, but Tamati's luck wouldn't take long. However, during his journey, a rat escaped from a dirty cage in one of the houses in the neighborhood where Paewai was walking, it was attracted to him and bit him angrily repeatedly on his ankle, Tamati fell into despair and the transmitted disease began to advance in his body in a frighteningly fast way, meanwhile the rat continued to bite him non-stop until Tamati threw him away. He managed to call an ambulance, but Tamati died the same day at his young adult age. Destinee Hanson heard about the death of the now ex-employee and that evening asked for a minute's silence from the staff before starting the night.
