## King Shark

### Background: Late 1980s

According to King Shark himself, his father Kāmohoali'i, The King of All Sharks and a god in the Hawaiian religion, was out on patrol between the islands of Maui and Kaho'olawe after a furious storm. On his patrol, Kamo discovered a beautiful young human woman adrift in the waves. Kamo rescued her and took her to shore to recover. He watched over her and kept her safe, expecting others to find her and take care of her. However when no one showed, Kamo used his magic to adopt a human form and took her inland himself until he found a hospital to care for her.

The next day, Kamo returned to the hospital to check on the woman. He found out she was still unconscious. He returned later that night to find her still unresponsive. Kamo sat with her that night and to pass the time, he recounted his many adventures to her. He kept this pattern for nearly a month before he found that being in her presence made him feel good. It took him awhile to realize that the woman had a strong, untapped aura and his recounting his stories to her in her sleep was being returned to him in some form of unconscious worship.

After six weeks, Kamo channeled up the power to use his magic to cure the woman. Doctors called it a miracle and they were right to say it was. As soon as he was certain the magic worked, Kamo attempted to leave but was stopped by a nurse who dragged him before the girl and told her that he was the one who rescued her and had kept her company every night as she lay there sleeping. Uncertain how to repay his kindness, the beautiful woman asked Kamo if she could buy him a drink. He accepted.

One thing would lead to another. The two went on a few awkward dates until the woman, whose name he learned was Kalei Waipio, suddenly kissed Kamo. The spark of that intimate moment kickstarted something in Kalei's brain, causing her to recall all the stories Kamo had shared in her comatose state. Kalei knew that "Kamo" was none other than the shark-god Kāmohoali'i. But that did not stop her from another kiss.

Surprised that she was not afraid of him, Kamo learned that Kalei had been raised by her grandmother in the traditional ways of their people and knew that Kāmohoali'i was a protector. The two engaged in Kamo's ritualistic drinking of awa, a narcotic beverage, and shared one last night together before Kamo returned to his patrols of the sea.

### Nanaue: ~1990 - 1999

An apparently human child was born from the affair of the shark god Kāmohoali'i and his human lover. Nanaue was born on a very dark night and his first cries announced the arrival of his father. The shark king warned Kalei not to let child eat meat before his ninth birthday.

Raised as a vegetarian, Nanaue was an unhappy child, but he did not know why. He did feel compelled to eat meat and was sure that would satisfy his temperament. He had seen other children eating meat and was never told a good explanation for why he could not eat meat. And then one day before his ninth birthday, another boy offered Nanaue half of his sandwich at school. Nanaue devoured the sandwich and was surprised he was not satisfied as he had always assumed he would be. If anything, the craving became worse... much worse. The next time, the same boy offered half the sandwich again, Nanaue ate his friend instead.

### Supplemental Reports

* (*Submitted by Hydrophile*) King Shark isn't one to mess around. He's four-hundred pounds of magic and muscle with a mouth that can bite off and swallow an Atlantean's head whole (Yes, I've seen him do that very thing... Poor Eos). He's also had his own jaw ripped apart and his right arm severed, but as you can see he's since recovered from those injuries. This is a dangerous monster.
* (*Submitted by Hydrophile*) Nanaue originally came to call himself "King Shark" as both a reference to his father's title "The King of All Sharks" and due to his belief that he should be the true king of the sea, thus putting him in direct opposition to other claimants such as King Orin ta'Atlan and his brother Orm. Interestingly, Nanaue has found himself allied with both of those other claimants to his title. During the Atlantean civil war, a young Nanaue allied himself with Orm's forces (though Nanaue probably planned to betray and/or eat Orm at the war's end) and much more recently Nanaue swore fealty to young Prince Ar'Jeron, promising to serve the prince (and King Orin) in exchange for the prince's support in Nanaue's claim to the position of chieftain to the Sher'Hadeen tribes of Tritonis. Though King Orin has been reluctant to do so, Nanaue has been more docile recently.
