Hashkeh Naabah

## Haskeh Naabah

Hashkeh Naabah is a Navajo Medicine Man.His name translates to "Angry Warrior" in Navajo. WIP, figuring out things.

## Appearance

Hashkeh is a thin, short, sturdily-built middle-aged man. His skin is so coarse from work that it feels like leather in some places. He is dark-skinned due to his ancestry, and his hair, although now streaked with gray, used to be as black as a raven's feathers. His eyes are dark brown, and he generally wears simple, inexpensive, and rather dull clothes. The left side of his face and neck bare a large scar, from when he SOMETHING WIP.

## Personality

Hashkeh is mild-mannered and mostly tolerant of other people, as long as they aren't harming nature or wildlife, which he is devoted to. Despite this, he has no close friends that are still alive. He is reserved and quiet, but if bothered enough may become wrathful, earning him his name. Holding a strong grudge, he is still seeking revenge on multiple people he had business with when he was younger. He is honest to a fault, this often being taken as being harsh or critical. People often look to him for advice or guidance.

## Backstory

As a young boy growing up on a reservation, he learned traditional 'alternative' medicine from his elders and modern medicine from the government-issued medical staff near his reserve. He devoted himself to medicine and nature, which were both sacred in his tribe. Medicine men were considered holy and able to see into the future to heal. This wouldn't earn him a decent living in the world, however, so he was forced to learn carpentry and farming, which he resented deeply. He grew up very poor, with no access to technology. As a result, he is fascinated by new world tech. His tribe greatly suffered due to a bout of spotted fever when he was around 30, but he was left unscathed by the disease, unlike his friends and parents, who fell ill and perished. He eventually fell in love and married another Navajo woman, Doba, but she died in childbirth. Grief-stricken, Hashkeh placed his son in a foster home and left his reserve, never to return and see his son, Tahoma. Tahoma ("Water's Edge" or "Shoreline" in Navajo) would be 25 by the year 2060.

## Items

**Misc.:**

 Medicine Bag, made of tanned deerskin, containing a bundle of corn, sage, cedar, sweetgrass, yarrow, and tobacco, used in smudging rituals to burn and fan the smoke to heal and cleanse a person. It also contains a pipe, two curved bones, and paint bags. He carries this under his clothes around his neck as is it sacrilegious for someone else to touch it.

### Innate Abilities

WIP

Stealth: Trained on the reserve, he learned how to walk softly and slowly so that his footsteps never made a sound. As a result, he has great balance and weight distribution, knowing how to stay steady in the occurrence of an attack.

## Trivia

Navajo culture is very superstitious, believing in Skinwalkers and myths and as a result, so is Hashkeh. Some general rules are : Don’t point at a rainbow or throw rocks into the wind. Don’t look at slow-moving clouds or fast-moving rivers, and never stare at the moon. Don't whistle at night, or evil things will whistle back. Always watch for night creatures and trickster Coyotes.
