Biography (Please make this at least 2 paragraphs long. This must include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.):
Humata Muusa remembers very little of his village. He remembers being raised by a whole community of dark skinned people in a tribal atmosphere very different then the customs practiced in Asulon. He vaguely remembers the images of his parents. He only remembers a few words of his native tongue and his own name.
One of Humata’s most vivid memories is seeing his village in flames. He remembers running with his family into the jungle to escape. He soon lost track of his parents and spent weeks looking for them. It seemed hopeless for Humata to find his family again, so he wandered aimlessly through the jungle, using all the survival skills his father taught him to live which included climbing particular trees for fruit, hunting and trapping animals, and collecting rain water with a hand-carved bowl (it often rained in his homeland, water was not a problem).This aimless wandering continued for years and years until he became a full grown man.
One day, a huge storm, equivalent to the size of a hurricane, devastated the jungle he was wandering in, forcing him to take cover for a day and a half. When the storm died down and everything was calm, Humata rose from his shelter and realized the entire jungle was flattened and scattered chaotically. Humata had no more fruits and animals to live off of, so he wandered, once again, aimlessly to find a new undamaged portion of his jungle. He wandered for days, he was soon becoming very hungry.
He soon stumbled upon the shore of a beach. He has never such a sight in his life. A whole field it seemed to him was made out of sand, and more surprising yet, was a vast, never ending body of water that extended to the horizon.
Humata ran along the shore, curious if the vast stretch of water would ever come to a halt. After 20 minutes of such traveling, he came across a VERY curious sight. Even more curious than the sand and the endless body of water (which he later discovered was called an ocean).
The sight struck him with awe, there, in the distance, appeared two men, but what was strange about these two men was their skin! It was pale, as white as snow! The two white men were sitting on the sandy floor doing something to some white sheet (Humata later learned that they were writing on a piece of paper, which, is an invention he has never heard of until now.) The two men looked up and were slightly startled to see Humata. They also noticed from the lack of fat surrounding his limbs that he was starving. The two men stood up and beckoned for him to come over, they did so as peacefully as possible so as to not scare him.
Humata did not trust them, but something told him that these men had food, so he walked up to them slowly, he was hungry enough to do so.
After Humata had been fed to his content, he tried sharing as best he could through his hand motions that he no longer wanted to stay in his jungle, but that he wanted to follow the two white men because they promised him food as well as fellowship. Too long has Humata stayed in the jungle by himself with no one to talk to. The two white men pointed out to Humata that they each had names, and that was Zazzerok and Maharg (actual online players who I know in real life, for proof, ask them when they are online.) Afterwards, the three men walked along the shore and approached two floating machines. Humata was surprised that such machines existed, and he hopped in one of them just as Maharg and Zazzerok did, and journeyed into the ocean.
On the journey through the ocean, Humata was shown a piece of paper with drawings on it. Humata was amazed and thought it was magic, but he learned that this ‘magic’ was called a map, and he was pointed out that the place he was living was just one tiny little island out of a vast, vast world. The three men sailed back to a land called Asulon, and there, Humata and his two friends will journey together.
