Totem

"a species should not be judged by it's base instincts but rather on the pinnacle of what it can be.." ~ Totem
Totem is a hero originating from another world, arriving in the mainstream Earth after the destruction of his own world by a warlike race he tries to adapt to the strange new ways of this world while also trying to keep the links he has with his guardian-spirits alive via aiding the weak and needy.
==Origins==
Totem was born to an alternate world where people lived in harmony with the world and the animal-spirits, which were powerful spiritual beings that granted people powers via the special bond they shared with the land - however Totem's peaceful life was changed forever when one day the skies opened to reveal a strange sight: thousands of metallic ships emerging from a dark portal, spewing clouds of pollution into the once blue sky and spraying the ground with a foul gas that turned the once fertile soil barren and caused the plants to wither and die.
Totem and his people fled from the invaders but couldn't run forever and had no choice but to fight back as the aliens stripped their world of its natural resources - yet they were no match for the advanced technologies of the invaders and Totem watched in horror as his people were brutally massacred.
Dropping to his knees he gave a desperate prayer to the Great Land Mother to spare his life and found himself enveloped in a golden light and transported from his world, at first he saw this as a direct intervention from the Great Land Mother but would later learn it was actually the doing of Merlin - who had observed the tragedy and intervened despite it being forbidden.
At any rate by Merlin's actions Totem found himself transported to the mainstream world and was surprised at the differece: disgusted at first with the way humanity had detached itself from nature his views softened when he saw the courage by which some people fought for freedom and justice and decided to ally himself with humanity as a hero so as to witness for himself the true potential of mankind and teach them the ways of his people..
