__________________IN-DEPTHPHYSICAL DESCRIPTIONGrowing taller than his father, Tchenko stays strong from his work, with a powerful back, arms, and chest. He's warmly tanned, most likely from his lineage, than wandering around in all that hot sun the tundra and it's waterways are known for. His long lavender hair is usually held back with braids and falls down to just past his shoulders. His beard is generally unkempt, growing thicker around his chin and mustache above thin lips and rarely shaved. With high cheekbones and languid, hooded amber eyes, beneath a medium brow. A tattoo marks his face, a small slope just above his brow and a hook-like etching just around his cheekbone. His expressions have little variation from "Quit the bullshit, get to the point," to "Yes, you can braid flowers in my hair." You might never know what you're going to get.

PERSONA"Though now it hurts like hell, it is better to feel just something else than live in that uncertainty."Tchenko Sindri is a man of few words. He's aloof by nature, although not intentionally in a manner that is hurtful. He keeps to himself, largely, with a strong sense of duty - usually throwing himself into his work, rising early and not finishing until the day is done. Then rinse and repeat. It's a useful distraction, and he'd never been one to enjoy staying idle for long, lest he get antsy.
He visits Hyoite often, staying in touch with his sister and her family, bringing his nieces small whittled gifts. Tchenko prefers to stay close to those he cares for, and gives what time he can spare to ensure their well-being, loyal to his core. He'd never been one to nix his feelings, preferring to be honest and upfront than beat around the bush. If he likes you, he'll show it. While there's no real ill will toward anyone, Tchenko would fiercely protect anyone he cares about.
He's a nostalgic sort, ofttimes ruminating on the past, and it's not uncommon for him to spend sleepless nights working on scrimshaw, or when the sun is about to rise, passed out by his heart with an empty bottle. Yet he still rises each day, getting back into the rhythm. It's certainly better than sitting around feeling sorry for himself.
- Things! -- Scrimshaw - likes to carve all kinds of things, and generally gives the decorated bones he's crafted as gifts, or sells them to traders that come through Hyoite. He has a carved fang he made into a handle for favorite curved fillet knife.
- Self-induced insomniac, it usually takes a few chugs of rum to make sleep happen. And when it does, it's rarely pleasant.
- Wears a small tiger's eye charm stone around his neck on a cord, given to him by a wise woman when he was a boy and intended for Hemming when he came of age.
MAGIC/ABILITIESFishing! And with some extensive knowledge of boats and some sailing. Father taught him how to hunt, but his true calling is the water. Can cast a net and throw a polespear as second nature.
Fairly decent navigator as well.

HISTORYTchenko can't trace much of his lineage back beyond his grandparent's grandparents, and much of his life has revolved in Hyoite where he was born. Life was far from idyllic, raised along with his sister to help their mother with daily chores, curing the meats and skins their father brought back from long fishing excursions. He brought with him things from his travels, taught them about the places and people he'd met along the way. Sula moved on to find her own way and Tchenko took on the family trade, soon moving to Carlig nearby and married, raising a family of his own.
He was proficient in his trade, eventually owning his own boat, but helping on others when an extra hand as needed. He'd stay out for months at a time, long excursions, hauling catches back. Returning to a warm home, to Massari's loving embrace did him a world of good, and knowing his son would have a good life made it all worth it. Then Hemming got sick, and passed away. He was away on a voyage when it happened, and although the waves and winds had been favorable, Tchenko couldn't get to him in time. He was buried next to Tchenko's father and mother, and Massari eventually parted ways with him, moving back to Hyoite, where she remarried.
Tchenko stays in Carlig, as it still is his home and keeps himself as busy as he can.
