{βUa mau ke ea o ka `aina i ka pono.β }
|Height & Weight|
6'4" & 245lbs
|Build|
Kai is a man built for heavy lifting. Tall as an oak tree and as broad as a barn, he exudes an aura of gentility though he is a bit of a klutz. Okay, he's a tad completely klutzy. He moves in a lumbering way and is often compared to a teddy bear. He has kind eyes whose beautiful colors aren't often as they should due to the way his eyes are shaped, making it seem as though he is forever squinting the way people do when someone says something stupid. He holds a dark tan complexion all over and keeps a constantly groomed mustache and often rotates from beard to goatee from month to month.
|Skin Tone|
Dark tan.
|Hair Color|
Jet black locks that extend down a mite past his shoulders.
|Eye Color|
His eyes are a soft mix of green and blue with a few gold flecks that shine in the right light.
|Significant Markings|
{Tattoos}
[Left Forearm] Right Shoulder
|Fashion Sense|
He has absolutely no sense of style and has only recently learned that being naked is not acceptable in American society. This seems to have caused distress from some of the females in the buildings and they tend to dress him for formal occasions. When he picks out his own clothes he either looks like a bum or a gym rat -- there is no in between.

|Personality|
A single glace at this Polynesian behemoth has you either swooning with lust or quaking with fear. There is no in between.
Because of his build and default blank expression most people immediately assume that Kai is not the kind of guy you want to hang out with. Actually, Kai is probably one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Kai is a very thoughtful guy and tends to put the needs of others before him, even the needs of complete strangers. Many people think that this is because he's very simple and ingenuous. Maybe that's true but he doesn't let it bother him. He's aware that he's very new to the way the rest of the world works, still astounded by things like gas stoves, air conditioners, and cars. Kai can't even do simple math and his reading is just barely at the level of a fifth grader.
Despite his simplemindedness when it comes to academics, he's very wise when it comes to life. He understands the duality of man and, contrary to popular belief, he is capable of reasoning on a philosophical level. As he learns the ways of the rest of the world he finds himself more and more grateful that his home is exposed to none of it. He finds it strange that people feel the need to make laws for human rights, feeling that no man has the right to give or take them away in the first place. He was absolutely horrified when he discovered that homosexuals weren't allowed marriage, or even adoption in some places. Anger welled up in him when he learned that they were attacked as well. He holds simultaneous feelings of horror and wonder for the world around him and he realizes now that he must find his place in it and contribute to the good.
While Kai is sweeter than the sugar cane that grows on his lands, he can also be a very violent person. He doesn't like seeing innocent people being hurt and is quick to resort to violence to defend someone. He doesn't believe in police officers being the only ones allowed to save people, feeling that this helps little to nothing and that it is a born right for others to defend themselves and anyone else who needs it. Because of this, he's landed in jail more than a few times. More than anything, he hates the displayed machismo and misogyny. Raised by and around powerful women, he cannot see how any man would see a woman as less than them simply for being a woman. He's not opposed to breaking a man's fingers for simply touching a woman without asking.
Through it all, he is a teddy bear. Loyalty is something that he lives and breathes and he will do anything that his friends ask of him without hesitation. He doesn't have much else to do while waiting for the war to be won so he's constantly free to help anyone around the apartment buildings and will sometimes help down at the coffee shop when new shipments come in. He's a man who likes to spend time with people, especially at parties. Kai loves joy and he loves to deliver it even more. He's a genuinely good person, even if he does have anger issues.

|History|
Hokuikekai was born on an island that had managed to avoid assimilating with America's tourist culture. In fact, the island was the only part of Hawaii that hadn't become part of the United States, saved by being owned by the family of an English nobleman who'd bought it from King Kamehameha IV. After Hawaii fell to America, the Robinson family felt terrible about the loss of culture and sold the island to Hiwahiwakeiki, the eldest child of Queen Lydia LiliΚ»u Loloku Walania Wewehi KamakaΚ»eha who was hiding there at the time, Marines looking for him.
Even when the rest of the Kingdom fell, the island of Kuahu remained in tact and kept with their traditional ways; Hawaiian is the first and only spoken language on the island, though they do speak a couple of other languages for their visitors from their Samoan or MΔori friends. It is known as βThe Forbidden Islandβ because non-Polynesians are not allowed to go there, not even to visit for a day. Today, there are approximately 1050 native Hawaiian residents living on Kuahu and their lifestyle has remained the same over all these years. There are no shops or restaurants on the island, no electricity, no paved roads, no cars and no hotels. So in other words, life is very simple. People get around by bike and on foot, sometimes by horse and wagon.
As Kai grew, he didn't have regular schooling like most children in the world. Kai was taught politics, diplomacy, and philosophy. He didn't have a lot of free time as a child, teaching him to cherish each moment he got to have for himself. He didn't resent his tutors or his parents for this because he placed the needs of his people above his desire for extended leisure time. However, because of his isolation he was unfamiliar with many things in the world β television and video games are still a wonder to him. He had heard stories of electricity and cinema and cars from those who visited and he always wanted to try them but he knew that he could never leave the island.
He was twenty-three years old when he was crowned King after his father had passed away from cancer. Many would say that he was a wonderful King, though he did have those who didn't agree with him. There would always be those who didn't agree β mostly due to his anger issues. But he kept peace between the different tribes on the island and helped maintain friendly trade relationships with the Samoans and MΔori. Years went by on this island lost in time and they knew that they'd have trouble soon enough. Their friends brought word to them that the natives who lived on the main islands were angry that the island wasn't part of America like theirs was, refusing to accept it.
Kai felt that they were angry because of the loss of their heritage and reached out to the natives of the main islands and welcomed them to visit and get back in touch with their ancestral culture. Some thought that it was a great decision and some thought that it was unwise.
It turned out to be the latter.
Kai was kept hidden away by his advisors out of fear as more and more people flooded to the island, treating it as a tourist destination. With this new attention came more to invade the island and soon attempts were made on his life. Several small countries made invasion attempts, wanting to take the island for their own for reasons that were yet unknown. His island had no military power capable of combating with the guns that were brought and war erupted. Needing help, he reached out to the United States. Obama understood that the Kai and his people were so far behind in time that they had nothing to offer but gratitude. Wanting to see that their home and people remained intact, he agreed and sent military forces.
In the latest attempt on his life, the world believed he was dead. In honesty, it was a body double who had volunteered to sacrifice his life to save his King. Kai was transported out by the American Navy and allowed to pick his place of hiding. He chose Los Angeles, having heard so much about it. He was given a large bank account to fund him while he was in hiding and two CIA agents to monitor him from a distance. He didn't want to have to be away from his people, wanting to fight. But he had no heirs and they made it clear that he needed to stay alive. He hates watching the news because there's always a story about the war.

A Light That Never Comes β οΈ Linkin Park
Nah, you don't know me
Lightning above and a fire below me
You cannot catch me, cannot hold me
You cannot stop, much less control me
When it rains, it pours
When the floodgates open, brace your shores
That pressure don't care when it breaks your doors
Say it's all you can take, better take some more
(Oh)
'Cause I know what it's like to test fate
Had my shoulders pressed with that weight
Stood up strong in spite of that hate
(Oh)
Night gets darkest right before dawn
What don't kill you makes you more strong
And I been waiting for it so long
The nights go on
Waiting for a light that never comes
I chase the sun
Waiting for a light that never comes
(Oh) (Oh) (Oh)
Waiting for a light that never comes
When I was young, they told me, they said
Make your bed, you lie in that bed
A king can only reign 'til instead
There comes that day it's "off with his head"
(Oh)
Night gets darkest right before dawn
What don't kill you makes you more strong
You'll have my mercy then when you're gone
The nights go on
Waiting for a light that never comes
I chase the sun
Waiting for a light that never comes
(Oh) (Oh) (Oh)
Waiting for a light that never comes
And I told them:
Nah, you don't know me
Lightning above and a fire below me
You cannot catch me, cannot hold me
You cannot stop, much less control me
When it rains, it pours
When the floodgates open, brace your shores
That pressure don't care, it breaks your doors
Say it's all you can take, better take some more
(Oh) (Oh) (Oh)
Waiting for a light that never comes
The nights go on
Waiting for a light that never comes
I chase the sun
Waiting for a light that never comes
(Oh) (Oh) (Oh)
Waiting for a light that never comes [/font][/center]
