Tadzi

"The live green earth is transformed into dead gold bricks, with luxury items for the few and toxic slag heaps for the many." ~ Michael Parenti "This we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself." ~ Chief Seattle of the Duwamish "There is no trap so deadly as the trap you set for yourself." ~ Raymond Chandler, The Long Goodbye Background Tadzi Elizar grew up, for the most part, on the Nez Perce reservation in Idaho. He is of mixed parentage, half-Nez Perce and half-Siletz. He spent a lot of time on the rez getting into trouble, occasionally fighting, smoking weed, playing guitar with the only other kid who was into heavy metal, and going out hunting. He was already pretty well-known to the sheriff of the town of Craigmont, Idaho by his 14th birthday. Apparently, that's when his mother sent him to live with his father. After this, he straight up disappeared until he was about 22-23, roughly last year. Tadzi and his sister, Kaya, have made a short trip southwest across the United States, traveling from their father's home in Wyoming towards Los Angeles. The two siblings spent some time in Salt Lake, then in western Utah where they picked up their cousin. They also tried a month or so in Las Vegas, but that didn't stick either. Maybe Los Angeles will be their final destination. RP Hooks Indigenous: Tadzi is half-Siletz, half-Nez Perce. He's generally very interested in indigenous affairs, and will occasionally get involved in activism. Murder and Terror: Tadzi is a true-crime afficionado. He recently got turned on to podcasts like My Favorite Murder, Last Podcast on the Left, and Morbid. He often describes the former and latter as 'like reading a book, but narrated by two sassy white ladies.' Criminal Activity: Tadzi is also a different kind of true crime afficionado. Mostly confidence schemes and minor theft. Writing: Like everyone in Los Angeles, Tadzi is workshopping a screenplay. He may even show up at a writer's group, who knows. Mystery Fiction: Similar to his interest in true-crime, Tadzi is a big fan of writers like Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett. He has even toured Chandler's house in La Jolla. Musician: Tadzi is a pretty good guitarist. He primarily plays rock and heavy metal, but can do a decent job with thrash and punk, and can play some classic blues songs. He plays an electric guitar like someone who learned on acoustic. WtA Hooks Returning: Like a lot of Garou in L.A., Tadzi was gone for a period of time and recently returned. Notable Heritage: Tadzi comes from a long and proud line of Garou. He is young yet, but he doesn't quite measure up to expectations when people meet him. Most Uktena have probably heard of his father, Water-Follows-Stone, and likely his grandfather, Leaping-With-The-Glade, and his great-grandmother Leaping-With-The-Glade is something of a legend among Pacific Northwest Uktena. Kaya: Tadzi's kinfolk half-sister, Kaya, is a starry-eyed Hollywood starlet-hopeful. Ernest: Ernest is Tadzi's cousin and another kinfolk who arrived with him. He's much older than Tadzi and Kaya, and seems to be very traditional regarding kin-Garou relations. There is a deep sadness to him. Ernest enjoys gardening and light woodworking. Sept of Undine Falls: Tadzi's home Sept is built around the Undine Falls caern in Yellowstone National Park. Undine Falls is pretty well-known for being, well, full of undine spirits. The main pack that guards the caern is Tadzi's father's pack. Tadzi himself served alongside a war pack of convenience of other Cliath who had taken their Rite of Passage, under Boar. He left after being ordered to protect his sister by his father. One might say that he never quite distinguished himself during his tenure at his home Sept save for succeeding at his Rite of Passage. Bonneville Salt Flats: Tadzi, on traveling with Kaya to Los Angeles, stayed at the Bonneville Salt Flats Sept for about a month or so. He seemed to hit it off well with the kin and People there, but Los Angeles was always the destination. Ernest is from this Sept. Contacts Raul Kateri River Wovoka Jones Lola Logs No logs found!
