Re: Hoa Kahuna (Rafiki) :: District 9 :: FINISHED

I have always kind of stuck out. Being a colored person from District 9 will do that to you. I never let it get to me though. I rarely go into town because I really don't need anything there anymore. I live with my "family" out in the woods and we have been there for the past couple of years. We have a house and we can hunt and generally keep to our selves. The only time we ever are forced to go into the inner city of the district is for the reaping. We all have been lucky, never losing a member of our dysfunctional family to the dreaded hunger games.

My name is Hoa Kahuna, and I love the air.

I have big brown eyes. I am quite tall. I look normal when compared to people of my own ethnicity. This is a very difficult thing to do because nobody in our district looks like me. I am what is considered a migrant. The capitol moves kidsto different districts every couple of years to experience their great nation. I have a strong chin. My face is very calm, almost tranquil you'll rarely see my extreme reactions, but you'll certainly hear them. I am a person who chooses to speak rather than to act.

Hoa Kahuna. Air.

I am normal. I wouldn't stick out if it wasn't for my skin. I don't make waves within my own family. Stick me into a normal society and you will see what type of person I truly am when faced with ample amounts of ignorance that is today's society. My feet are big. I don't really know how I look; these are all things I am told by the ones who love me. I am a very fast runner. I am rarely seen doing anything of significance; even in the woods where significant is a pretty lame term in our standards. Keeping many family members sane is considered my role. I help them look at what type of person they are, but I rarely understand what type of person I am even myself.

Hoa Kahuna thinks the world is consumed being consumed by Fire.

My torso is strong. I am pretty built myself in general. The people of my home district are very fit. Labor was my job, it has kept my body looking prime during all the time I have spent in District 9 doing nothing. I am tattooed in some places, they don't cover my body by any means but I do have markings, some are significant, others mean nothing I just thought that they looked nice. A calm life is what I desire, my looks rarely distract me from this goal. Living a simple life is easy in the woods, the only thing that makes it difficult is my family and the "people" we disagree with.

Hoa Kahuna. Fire.

I am connected. I don't really care for all of the connections I have acquired but they are existent. From a young age I wasn't really concerned with worldly matters, that didn't prove a problem though. I mindlessly performed my required daily tasks and then I was free to do whatever I wanted. The list of things I have experienced goes on forever so don't ask the specifics. I love helping people, so you could call me caring? I am never jealous because I rarely come across a person that interests me to such an extent.

I enjoy my work, I'd like to call it work but it's not a very difficult job. I keep the world aligned I speak to it but it never listens to me. It's a love hate relationship, I love the world and it hates me. One day our roles will switch, that'll be the day I finally am once again consumed by the planet. I guide people, it's what I do. This whole speaking calmly thing is only happening right now because I was heavily sedated for this interview I am currently having with you people. I am a happy person, I love nature more than any lady...she is my lady she is the lady.

I am a grounded person. My personality isn't. I am WILD in every shape of my mind. Looney. My body is calm. My mind is not. I question the deepest darkest corner of the universe. I can't help it.Ever since I could remember I have been alone -that is, without parents- I have traveled from district to district living in the streets, sleeping in silk pajamas, even making gauze bandages...My life hasn't been hard per say but I wouldn't say it was milk and cookies either and I'm thankful for that. Out of all the children in my family I can take %100 confidence when I say I am the most cultured of all of them.

My story is pretty unique compared to all the other children in the house. I'm a traveler; I can't call myself a wanderer because when I go places I always have a purpose. If I'm not traveling with a purpose then I am probably not moving at all. My job takes me all over the country though, and with it, I have met some pretty cool people. I'd bet you'd like me to elaborate a little more eh?

My work isn't exactly what people from the districts call...legal; that is because my job has been explicitly illegal for the past 7 years of my life. I travel into districts and work. You can't make money in the lower districts, that's what makes my job so hard. Getting in and out of wealthy districts is a calculation all about timing. I'm the best at it; it's all about becoming one with yourself and being able to analyze people. I do what I need to do and then get out. I've worked alongside tributes, businessmen, victors, doctors. If they are anyone who's anyone, I've most likely worked for them. I do petty tasks in upper districts: being a training dummy for some career to wail on, organizing legal documents for lawyers, even making gauze bandages and doing paperwork for doctors. Like I said earlier, I am connected.

My childhood was awful. I grew up alone. Life was hard, moving from foster home to foster home wasn't milk and cookies. Nobody wanted me and it hurt. Once I turned 17 I was finally able to live on my own. That's what I have been doing, living with the rest of my dysfunctional family for almost a year now... I met Mufasa (pardon me, the character is un-named as of now) one day in the market, he took me under his arm and we have been best friends ever since.
