Chaatla is a bit curmudgeonly and, in his earlier years, was known for carousing and brawling. These days, despite being married to the elegant and wealthy Kani'itat, is mostly found in casual clothes, wandering the nearby forests in search of the best hidden fishing holes. #PeopleOfAhuTiiko
Morning folks - as part of an upcoming project, I've made the tough decision to rejoin Instagram. If you're interested in following me/C&C there, you can find the profile at: www.instagram.com/coyoteandcro...
Swaalaha, daughter of Baaz Chash, is known around Ahu Tiiko as an over-the-top flirt and a brat. She encourages the rumors about her promiscuity, knowing it infuriates her father. But a scrutinizing eye could get the impression that her whole persona might be a facade. #PeopleOfAhuTiiko
Being married to the town doctor is the perfect excuse for Soonwicha to do what she loves: further her own agendas through sheer force of will and proximity to power. If there is a meeting of influential people in town, look around. You'll find Soonwicha in the shadows. #PeopleOfAhuTiiko
Young, pretty, and mostly carefree, Seela Saak works at Yobi's diner, has many friends throughout town, and likes to fall asleep under the Bone Tree in the center of town. She's also married to Sawadii, a union that has raised more than a few eyebrows. #PeopleOfAhuTiiko
Doonook is handsome, confident, and a great sunwing flyer - if you ask many of his young admirers in Ahu Tiiko. Others will tell you he's arrogant, prone to exaggeration, impertinent, and likely a criminal. According to Doonook, every woman should feel honored to sleep with him. #PeopleOfAhuTiiko
As the owner and head cook at Yobi's, open 24 hours, Askikya is one of the most well-known and loved faces in Ahu Tiiko. Her dishes are renowned, her friendliness contagious, and her ear for gossip is the best in town. Just don't ask her about her husband. #PeopleOfAhuTiiko
With aging cybernetics, a continuously befuddled mind, and a penchant for smoking medicinal mushrooms, Awsha is an enigmatic, well-liked wanderer, selling handcrafted items in the markets of Ahu Tiiko. His sweet demeanor is well known. But it's clear he has deeper knowledge... #PeopleOfAhuTiiko
Badger is a familiar face in Ahu Tiiko. He runs the food delivery service and takes care of those in crisis, cooking meals and organizing other helpers. He's known for his generous nature. Rumors of a violent temper or connections to organized crime are surely rumors. #PeopleOfAhuTiiko 🧵
Baaz Chash is likely the wealthiest and most politically influential person in Ahu Tiiko. A widow, with two adult children, he's always on his way to a meeting. He's a town elder and a member of the mysterious club Fyell's Cloud. Is he just too busy to talk? Or is he evasive? #PeopleOfAhuTiiko 🧵
Ufally Daynoo, standing over 6', is an impressive figure, even before she sings. Her voice draws people in from far and wide. But beyond her hypnotic performances, she's a reclusive enigma. Only a few in town know her personally. Is her secrecy just part of her stage persona? #PeopleOfAhuTiiko 🧵
One of my favorite parts of creating Ahu Tiiko was the complex web of NPCs and their interconnections. It was important for them not just to feel like real people, but also for them to have real relationships. bit.ly/4e95p4c I'm going to talk about them a bit... 🧵 #PeopleOfAhuTiiko
If you've been curious about the Ahu Tiiko Soundtrack, it's now on our composer's Bandcamp (for the same price as in our webstore), but you can hear samples of this amazing score. Check them out! somndev.bandcamp.com/album/ahu-ti...
I think this is my favorite commentary on Coyote & Crow ever. This is going on future book backs and boxes.
