Description
Character Name: Lukari of the Black Tiger Tribe
Originally Featured: [link]

This is my submission to Jessica Elwood's "Sword and Sorcery" contest. I revamped this character for a visual upgrade and adapted her for the contest.

Age: Human equivalent of young adult
Gender: Female
Birth place: Mwene
Skills and talents: Barbarian + Shaman
Uneducated in reading, writing or the "civilized" world.
She is training as a shaman and has a knowledge of medicines and nature greater than the others in her pride of the same age.
Her greatest ability is the capability to transform into a black tiger beast.
Has great strength typical of her race, as a result of their physiology and lifestyle.
Her senses of sight, hearing and balance are higher than the average human.
She is trained to survive in the jungles and savanna of her home as a hunter and gatherer.

Character History:
Lukari is a member of the Black Tiger Tribe, a band of hunters who live in the stoney areas of the Mwene savannah. She is the daughter of the tribe shaman and is considered by her tribe to be slightly excentric, just like her family. She takes great delight in life and in the curisoity of youth. She loves gold and collects what little trinkets and coins she can carry. After her first big hunt (her rite to adulthood) she was given four blue jewels that match her eyes. The have no magical quality, but she always wears on her person, set in gold. She left her tribe to travel with her companion Rix. As a result her shamanic studies have been put on hold, and her skills and spells have become slightly limited. But her curiosity and youthful exuberance keeps her traveling with him.

Weapon: Large heavy spear
The blade of her spear was an old ornamental short sword she found. She couldn't handle it as a sword with her large paws, so she set it in a wooden pole and uses it as a spear. Not made for long flight and throwing like most spears, this one is heavy and strong and is used to kill larger game. It's large size and thick shaft is common among her people, who's large paws make using smaller weapons more difficult.

The text on her charm used to mean something, but the design progressed into triangular shapes similar to PREDATOR or KLINGON font, so the original meaning is gone.

I'm not so sure about the textures on this one, but it does look better with them than without them.

Mary Sue score: 20
