Nation Name: Chickasaw

Human Name: Shotek (meaning "Sky")

Age: about 9,716; appears to be in his early twenties

Sexuality: heterosexual

Appearance: Shotek has a single scalplock of dark hair that runs down the top of his head and parts in the middle to rest on his shoulders and chest. On the top he has a fake roach made of porcupine and deer hair.
His eyes are similar to the dark brown a pine tree gets after it rains with various streaks of beige mixed in. His skin, though not as dark as his counterpart's, is a dark tan and has several various scars all over. The most notable being a long and deep diagonal scar that runs across his left cheek, extending from the bottom corner of his jaw nearly up to his eye. Few know the story of how his eye was almost cut out and even fewer know by whom, as he doesn't like to speak of it.
He has a strong physique, more so than his counterpart and it shows, from years of training. Though centuries of constant archery has made his right shoulder sore and stiff in movement if he has to reach up high or throw anything.
Shotek is very adamant about keeping his culture alive and refuses to wear anything but his traditional buckskins. He wears deerhide leggings tucked into thick bearskin boots with an extra layer added to the sole due to his bad habit of wearing them out quicker than intended. A feather decorated, ribboned, bearhide shirt completes the outfit, even if he only wears it for modern days' decency. As he never used to wear a shirt unless it was too cold not to.
He has a large tattoo that runs across the entire top half of his torso, even the top of his upper arms and shoulders, depicting a deer running from a pack of wolves into a forest in which the wolves are also running out of. It circles around his torso and is made of many, many small dots. It is to represent, at least part of, the continuous loop of life. He doesn't wear much jewelry though what little he does is worn near constantly: one or two traditional necklaces and a few bracelets as well as a small hoop nose ring. Though he no longer wears war paint, unless for a ceremony, he does, however, keep a thick black line across the middle of his face just under his eyes. This is to help reflect the sun away from his eyes as he primarily works outside (and if he's honest a bit to feel like the old days whether he admits it or not).

Personality: Shotek has over the years developed a gruff and wary personality. While once long ago he used to be more open and friendly he now chooses not to befriend anyone outside his family, and even then few he still holds a bit of a grudge against (namely Choctaw and Creek). He doesn't like strangers and has even more of a dislike for certain Europeans, most notably France, England, and Spain. He has a long standing rivalry with Shikoba, though they are trying to make amends even if they haven't really gotten anywhere with it yet. As they are still shirt with each other and very awkward if they have to be near each other for a lengthy amount of time. However, with other siblings Shotek can be friendly and hospitable. He is quite tolerable as long as Shikoba or specific others aren't around.
Calm and coordinated Shotek has always felt best on the battlefield, though he no longer fights as often as he used to in modern times. He is quite proud of his achievements though and still keeps his old war trophies and adornments, such as a mantle of swan feathers and a tomahawk taken from an enemy Creek warrior long ago (that he likes to keep around just to irk Creek for a laugh).
He looks up to and respects his elder siblings as well as Loper. He is highly loyal to Loper and is not hesitant to do as told even if he disagrees.
Shotek is unable to sit still for very long and must always be doing something. He can't stand to be idle and will always find something to do even if he has to do what he considers women's tasks such as cleaning or laundry. (And no he is not sexist, this is what he was taught from a young age. That men do certain tasks and women do others).
If left to his own devices for long or occasionally at night when he can't sleep he often wonders if his life has had any meaning to others. He is always mentally, whether conscious of it or not, doubting himself and thinking that he could do better. However, he is stubborn and does not outright tell or ask anyone about his own problems and accepts help from very few if at all.

Other: Shotek has a good aim with very high accuracy and is well versed in using any kind of bow, his particular favorite arrows are the Chickasaw's traditional fire arrows. Though he is no longer able to use a bow properly due to his stiff shoulder, something that saddens him as he knows that was his greatest skill.
He used to own a pet beaver who he named Wenutu, which means "clearing sky after storm".
When troubled about something he has a habit of drumming his fingers on his leg, though he may deny that anything is wrong.

Current economy and status: faring well and he holds nation status

Why he came: he was actually invited by Shikoba, and as they are currently trying to have better relations he decided to come.

Allies: even he's not sure anymore

Enemies: many. Formerly Choctaw, Seminole, and Cherokee. He is still at odds with Creek and Shawnee.

Skills: He has scarily good accuracy and he used to be a master of the bow, able to fire several arrows in succession and not miss a single target. Though his using the bow so often has rendered his shoulder near immobile at times and thus he is no longer able to do so.
A good strategist and an excellent fighter, throughout his history he has felled many an opponent who outnumbered him, and when at even odds while teamed up with his brother, Cherokee, it ended in a draw after fifty years.
He is well versed in horseback riding and horse breeding though doesn't do the latter much these days. (In fact he owns a quarter horse that is very dear to him).
He can cook corn and squash pretty well though he may burn other foods...
