STATS
Name: Tuikh
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Class: Jack-of-all-Trades

Description: Big and burly, Tuikh would inspire fear in most other humans if not for his goofy grin and general sloppy appearance. He has lightly tanned skin, dark, wavy hair that always seems to be in need of haircut and big brown eyes. His facial features are broad (bushy eyebrows, wide nose, plump lips).
Personality: Goodnatured and friendly, Tuikh tends to want to help people with whatever it is they need. Because of his size, he can be a bit clumsy, especially when handling small or delicate items. The young man has long since learned that task requiring strength are the best fit for him. But this will not stop Tuikh from taking other tasks if there is need for them. Taking care of others is his biggest drive in life. When not helping people, Tuikh enjoys sleeping, walking around and people-watching.  
Skills: Strength, Observation, Natural charm

STORY
The young traveller found himself in the quaint village of Kojiki after a long and adventurous trip he'd funded by working along the way. Tuikh had been on this journey for the last two years, departing shortly after his grandmother had died and receiving a small inheritance and a letter that bid him to chase his dreams.
Dreaming had been somethign Tuikh didn't do much of. He was a guy living in the now. And if the now was good, why covet other things? But his grandmother's will had instilled in him a need to look for other things, to broaden his horizons, to see more than just the sleepy village where he'd grown up. There was no-one to leave behind, no meaningful job or hobby to quit. Setting off was surprisingly easy and uneventful.
What hadn't been easy to let go of, was Tuikh's own inherent nature to help. He'd lingered longer than he'd had to in some places. He'd helped bring in harvests, had hauled bricks and built homes when he really didn't need to. But he'd been paid for his effort and after a while, this way of life had become a habit.
But nothing lasts forever and change always finds those who don't chase it.
Tuikh had arrived only the night before, so he had not found work and was leisurely strolling through the town when he was hailed and greeted.
"Hello there, good Sir."
"Greetings, may luck be on your side." Tuikh replied.
"And on yours." the other man continued, "Might you be interested in seeing the young Drago?"
"What are Drago?" Tuikh asked.
Not much later, Tuikh was educated on the small Lemurian monsters, the elements they worked in and their general needs. He also learned that the latest nest was due to find bonds or homes as the young had grown a bit restless. Never doubting his ability to help, Tuikh quickly volunteered his presence.
When they arrived at the nest, several people were milling about, getting close to several young Drago, trying to entice them with food or voice. Some of them got whacked with a tail or glomped. Some looked as if they'd been in a fight. Tuikh quickly realised the cause of this as a light blue female with stubby horns and small wings threw herself against his side. Finding support on a conveniently nearby wall, Tuikh remained upright. He steadied himself, legs spread and shoulders squared as he commenced a play(?)-battle with the young female.
When her energy had been drained and she found Tuikh still standing, the young Aqua Drago happily decided to stay with this human and help him. She would defend him from danger and let him know of dangers on the road travelled.
"So what do I call you?" Tuikh asked.
The Drago chirped, blinked and cocked her head.
"Blue?" Tuikh tried.
The Drago shook her head and seemed to sigh.
"Too simple? How about Miranda?"
She came a little closer but still seemed dissatisfied.
"Even more elaborate? I hope I'll be able to remember this, but how about Myravinda?"
Myravinda seemed to purr in agreement.
