Milliways Dossier: Ratonhnhaké:ton

[herr_bookman]

History

• Four-year-old from Kanatahséton valley, currently spring
  
• Small, peaceful village based on agriculture
  
• 18th or 19th century Americas, based on skin-color and diet
  
• "Sworn to protect the land our village lies on"
  
• Bound, as of this writing
  
• Knows: Kate Barlow, Javert
  
• Clan Mother, who tells story
  

Impressions

• Threat Level: LOW - He is four, but when he grows up, I suspect he'll be loyal, and formidable. Plus, he's rather articulate already; are all kids where he's from like that?
  
• "You stink .... was something chasing you?" - haha!
  
• "I was just curious"
  
• Defensive about his age, highly intelligent in a similar manner to Fry, but with different manner of processing the world around him
  
• Fidgets around food, interesting - "some I like more than others"
  
• Dislikes: Celery, chocolate, marshmallows
  
• Not very experienced with magic, naturally, but keeps an open mind
  
• guhcheegwuhai - warrior game played with webbed sticks and balls used to resolve disputes
  
• Clan Mother represents them in the Haudenosaunee, a gathering? and a Great Council too, hm
  
• "Many people here do not know what their names mean. It's odd." - YES! His is "life that is scratched" based on illness in his early childhood
  
• Wampum - beads made of clamshells; image-based substitute for writing - Clan Mother wears one unique to her
  
• **"Mother told me never to fight unless I did so to protect"** - deep and abiding motivation material right here
  
• His mother fought to protect his father, a white man
  
• Taught him Schnitzeljagd (paper chase)
  
• Refused a carpet ride, wow - don't see that often
  
• "You can't buy things on moons" - hee
  
• "There must not be a lot for healers in your world to do if these things exist." - healing herbs
  
• Traded five herbs for some wampum, or ten to see it made

Weaknesses

• Fairly squishy - I bet he runs fast, though
  
• He's four years old!

Scabs

• Have I met him as an adult? I don't think so...

Opportunities

• Living history - though it's not difficult to see him as a person, too, according to Teja's warning; it helps that Ratonhnhaké:ton is a child
  
• Wampum imagery
