Race: Tuskarr (Draenei)
Class: Shaman
Skills and Abilities:
Shark from a Pond: Mau's fishing ability is fantastic; being an aged and talented Tuskarr fisherman has granted him excellent skills with fishing, which are aided as well by his Shamanistic familiarity with water allowing him to get used to new bodies or styles of water very quickly.
Healing Waters: Mau's ability to commune the element of water has given him greater control over healing. He is able to cure disease and infection on top of his healing abilities.
Weather Man: Mau's Shamanistic abilities lie within the weather; he can call forth gusts of wind, sheets of rain and black clouds. These are rather useless in a combat situation however, and are more useful in creating a haven in a storm or growing crops in a drought.

Other: Has a Tuskarr-style fishing pole with him at all times which is very well crafted, made from the spine of a smaller species of whale native to Dragonblight's waters. Carries a multi-purpose stave with him, a simple, twisted yew stick used for walking, stirring, poking and occasionally bashing. Wears many different jewellery pieces crafted from wood and bone. They are simply cosmetic and/or ritualistic.
Alignment: Neutral Good
Personality: Despite Mau's troubling history, he is quite light hearted and jovial in a general sense. While he is a very serious, stoic and mature individual he tends to take every opportunity to make a light hearted joke or a polite tease. This gives the impression that he is quite happy; he tends to act this way as a method of handling the sadness of his life. He will often join in with jokes and conversations, he is very sociable. This helps him fit in a world in which he is the alien. He is a kind and patient man, and due to his relatively large coin purse would not hesitate to hand fish or silver to the needy. He is often seen as the lovable old man, but he takes life, social encounters and his work very seriously, even if he acts in a contrary way some of the time.
He is very peaceful and and does not enjoy combat. Though he won't hesitate to protect himself or an innocent he would never kill. He is a rather slow-to-act person, but this is because of maturity and wisdom, not stupidity. He enjoys the waiting game. Mau is rather sad, however, his dark past often creeping up on him. He tends to avoid it and will not share his problems with others as he does not have any true friends after his departure from Kalulak. This causes his grief to cook up inside him.
History: Born many years ago in the Moa'ki harbour of Southern Dragonblight, Mau was the son of a Shaman and a young Tuskarr lady, who had only recently become of age. He spent most of his time as a young infant with his extended family, learning to fish from a young age. He showed talent even as a young boy for the craft and it was not long before he would go fishing with his father.
As a teenager, Mau showed interest in the Shamanistic ways. He learned with his father and second Uncle on his Mother's side. He, in particular, showed affinity for working with water. Mau was content with his simple and challenging life as a fisherman and Shaman. It was around his twentieth birthday that Mau found himself a wife as he could support such a household. He treasured the vest that she crafted for him, receiving two new vests- one for each child his beloved wife birthed. As a family they lived happily in the small village for many years.
At around fourty years of age, Mau and his Wife decided to travel Northrend. Leaving behind Moa'ki they travelled through the icy wastelands towards Kalulak, in Borean Tundra. They encountered little hardship, keeping to the coastal line as much as possible. Upon reaching the capital they were welcomed with open arms and made a home there. They lived a life not unlike their previous, but change was just what the couple needed.
The Kvaldir, on the other hand, were not. Their invasion of Kalulak was unexpected and Mau's beloved was one of the first to be slaughtered by the barbarian sea men. He was stricken with grief but managed to escape as he helped out some of the women and children. He remembers little about that day, aside from being taken to a large and abrasive Orcish stronghold and kept their in safety for a number of days. During his stay at the Stronghold he learnt much of both the Horde and the Alliance, and became fascinated with both; but of course the Orcish view on Humans was far from pleasant. Mau spent a lot of time with Orcish Shamans, comparing their two interpretations on their craft and skills, and exchanging a few tricks. He spent around a month paying back their hospitality with information and knowledge as an indigenous of the area. After expressing interest to visit Azeroth, they left him with a parting gift from their most elder Shaman- a bone bracelet that keeps his temperature relegated even in the warmer areas of Azeroth. Unfortunately no enchantment could let him survive in harsh areas such as Blasted Lands, Tanaris or the Badlands.
