Usually dresses in Hawaiian style, even when it’s maybe not that appropriate<br/><strong>Flaw:</strong>Idealist – Ponipua lives by a set of island values, and doesn’t quite understand that not everyone else lives by those same values.<br/><strong>Archetype:</strong>Romantic<br/><br/><strong>Concept:</strong>Ponipua is a tiki goddess who has come to the mainland to protect her land.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Ponipua is generally sweet natured and kind. However, she has been used to a certain kind of respect, and she is not really well-adapted to deal with haole civilization, especially modern city life. She is determined to save her land, since she and her land are effectively one. This also means she does feel a certain unfulfilled sense of longing for home.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Ponipua (Translation: Purple Flower) is a plant spirit. She comes from a long line of plant spirits who has had contact with Earth from Ioluqar for years through her family’s gate, opening on the Earth island of Ni’ihau. Through a longstanding set of misunderstandings, her ancestors established themselves as Tiki Goddesses (this was actually a common mistake among many early Polynesians with their contacts with Ioluqarans, so tiki gods and goddesses are not that completely rare.) Of course like all such Tiki Pacts, the key issue is land.<br/><br/>Every Ioluqaran Tiki family is linked with a small piece of Polynesian land. And as modernity has slowly encroached on the Islands, so the Tikis have suffered – change or damage to the land is effectively change or damage to the Tiki. Up to now, as Ni’ihau is the "Forbidden Island", Ponipua’s home has remained sacrosanct – even for the thirty years that she has served as Tiki.<br/><br/>Not anymore. Apparently, some haole with too much money and too little appreciation for local wildlife wants to build a Magnum-PI themed resort there. (And if ever there was a worse time for Magnum PI to get a reboot, this has to be it.) So Ponipua has traveled to the mainland in order to find allies to save her home from this horrific fate. A spirit of the island countryside and then some, city life confuses and scares her, but she retains a positive outlook on things in general - save for property developers. They can all throw themselves into the nearest volcano as far as Ponipua's concerned.<br/><br/><strong>Primary stats</strong><br/>Alertness:  1xd6<br/>Charm: 3xd6<br/>Power: 0xd6<br/>Cunning: 1xd6<br/>Spirit: 2xd6<br/><br/><strong>Health:</strong>6<br/><strong>Willpower:</strong>3<br/><strong>Experience:</strong>0<br/><br/><strong>Relationships:</strong>TBD<br/><br/><strong>Equipment:</strong><br/><br/><strong>Moves:</strong><br/>Basic Moves: All<br/>Flaw Moves: All<br/>Battle Moves: Arcane<br/>Social Moves: Beguile, Seek Counsel, Connections<br/>Special Power Moves: Supernatural Allure<br/>Archetype Moves: (Romantic): (Un)Practiced Naivete, Body Language<br/><br/><strong>Story Arcs:</strong><br/><br/><em>Save My Land!</em>The central arc of Ponipua is the quest to save her land from the heartless developers who intend to raze it over and build a Magnum-PI style resort.<br/><em>Pay for Lawyers</em>: Legal battles cost money.
