Toonka

Manhwa

**Toonka** was the leader of the rebellion against the mages of the Whipper Kingdom. He first met Cale Henituse in the Roan Kingdom's coastal Ubarr Territory, when he washed ashore due to his ship crash induced by Whipper mages' magic attacks.

He hid his identity by pretending he was a simple fisherman named Bob when he was saved by Amiru Ubarr until he exposed himself by fighting the Whales, Witira and Paseton. That fight caused him to get banished from Ubarr territory.

Toonka hated mages due to the oppression they did to the people of the Whipper Kingdom. Though he was against magic, he didn't opposed to ancient powers. Ancient Powers were the only type of power that non-mages, who focus on physical strength, accept as strength because they consider it a blessing for someone’s power to be passed down through generations.

## Appearance

Toonka has long, messy brown hair that has been likened to a lion's mane. He is described to have *a dangerous appearance that seemed like he could and would easily send an orc flying with a single slap*.

## Personality

Cale thinks Toonka is stupid in general but sharp and naturally intelligent in battle.

Toonka is very loud, arrogant and careless. He has a rock for a skull and is so fearless you could call him suicidal. He never backs down from a challenge, even if his opponent is a dragon. He has trained by traversing all types of natural disasters.

While his brash characteristics drive away many people, his lack of hesitation and passion for fighting are also what make so many non-mages in the rebellion admire and follow him.

At first he is depicted as a fighting maniac. He loves fighting strong people, and has no regard for weak people. He doesn't bother to listen to 'insignificant' weak people, and throws away his own people when they are injured or too weak to go on. He tries to fight those whom he thinks are strong regardless of propriety or circumstances.

> "Sacrifice for others? A hero? Toonka was not interested in anything like that. All he cared about and obsessed over was strength. He was the type of person who ignored the people on his own side if they were weak, and even killed them if necessary."

## History

### In *The Birth of a Hero*

Toonka was shipwrecked in the Ubarr territory and wanted to battle against the force of the nature—the whirlpools. After going in the biggest whirlpools, Toonka gain an ancient power, the Sound of the Wind. Toonka went back into the Whipper Kingdom, created the non-mage faction with Harol Kodiang and rebelled against the Magic Tower and win. Afterwards they went into a war against The Jungle and the Mogoru Empire.

### Current Plot

Toonka was shipwrecked in the Ubarr territory and he met Cale who had just gained the Sound of the Wind. Cale helped him to return back to the Whipper Kingdom and promised to buy the Magic Tower. Toonka rebelled against the Magic tower earlier and because of Cale, the non-mage faction of Whipper Kingdom allied with the Roan Kingdom, the Breck Kingdom, The Jungle and the Whale Tribe and avoided going into war with the Jungle. Afterwards with the help of Cale's group, the non-mage faction successfully conquered the Maple Castle of the Mogoru Empire.

## Relationships

### Cale

He has little to no regard for Cale at first, as he does with all weak things. But the more Toonka speaks to Cale, the more he thinks Cale is interesting due to his nonchalance attitude towards Toonka's informal speech or how he seems to pull out new unique ancient powers every time they meet. When Cale reveals to him in the Ubarr territory that he plans to purchase the Magic Tower and supports Toonka's cause, that causes Toonka to be interested enough in Cale to invite Cale over to the Whipper Kingdom in two months and tell Cale not to forget his name.

Overtime due to Cale's actions, Toonka gradually changes his mindset. He still loves fighting and going crazy, but he views Cale as a friend. He also has more respect for those who are weak.

To people like Cale, he can be very sincere and serious, which is a direct contrast to his usually arrogant and idiotic self.

He was the leader of the non-mage faction during the civil war and has his loyal subordinates.

* Harol, the Supreme Chief in charge of the entire faction.

## Abilities

He attacks using his body, and has high magic resistance. He has reached the pinnacle of strength for the human body. He often uses his fists, and sometimes uses a bat. His physical strength is overwhelming and can jump high up.
