He's a hunter primarily, a family protector second, and a warrior third. His tribe is known as the Wawahtewa Lenni-Lenape overall, but they're divided into four distinct sub-groups, one of which is the Tipisk clan, which Pihko Misit is a member. Personality-wise, he's stoic to those he typically does not know well. His is a tendency to say little, if anything, and instead observe someone new until a read has been made on just who he's associating with. However, once a positive relationship is established, he becomes much more gregarious and outgoing! He's somewhat vain in a sense, proud of how he looks and how his physical stature carries an imposing nature to those around him. Indeed, he's muscular and masculine in that regard. This aspect leads well to the traditional dress of his people, which in a contemporary view is very limited. The notion of physical modesty does not carry much weight, as tribal members are equally comfortable in just a very narrow loincloth as they are in absolutely nothing. All clothing items are derived from animal sources, making buckskin leather the most common material for just about anything. Leggings are a popular choice for protecting his legs in the task of walking through brush, but only the coldest of winter weather will see him don anything else for outerware. It certainly pays to have a fur coat on at all times!

Daily Attire

  • Hair (headfur) is cut very short with the exception of a brush of stiffened hair two inches wide running from the forehead to the nape of the neck, with a scalplock hanging from the crown to which a coopers hawk tail feather and a golden eagle primary feather is tied to.
  • Both ears are pierced at the lower outside corner, and through them are simple circular carved earrings made from antler.
  • Around the neck are hung two items;
  • Slightly longer leather cord holding a buckskin knife sheath adorned with dyes and bear fur, the forged iron dagger inside about 5 inches in length, with a carved wooden handle.
  • Shorter leather cord with a small noticeably full leather pouch sitting more or less mid-chest. Its closure is a single dark brown bear claw.
  • Around both upper arms are bone hairpipe armbands, worn tight, with round abalone shell discs on the outside.
  • Both nipples are pierced with simple, round silver rings.
  • Simple hand-woven leather belt is worn low around the waist
  • Simple leather knife sheath with tasseling is worn on the right hip, the blade 12 inches in length, with an antler handle.
  • A small leather tobacco pouch is worn on the left hip.
  • A narrow buckskin breechclout with the flaps hanging to the knees both front and back, is worn.
  • Thigh-length leggings (as in, rising to just above the knee) also of buckskin that are semi-snug are worn, and are fastened at the sides to his belt with leather thongs. These are gartered just below the knee with leather ties.

Ceremonial Attire

  • A long-style “Porky Roach” is worn on the head, the deer hair dyed red, with the back length reaching nearly to his tail. It is fastened to his scalplock using a porcupine quill.
  • The antler earrings he wears are removed, and are replaced with silver "drop" style earrings.
  • Normal armbands are replaced with much more intricate armbands made of purple and white wampum beads.
  • Both wrists have several silver bracelets loosely worn around them.
  • A woven sash dyed with an alternating sawtooth pattern is worn wrapped over the top of his belt.
  • An ornate leather pouch made of red fox fur, with the fox's face as the flap and the fox's tail hanging from one side, is worn beside the tobacco pouch on the left hip.
  • His normal buckskin loincloth is swapped for a different leather one that has been dyed a deep red that closely matches the red of his roach.
  • His normal leggings have been swapped out for a pair of the same cut and design, using leather that has a glossy finish to it dyed to a rich chestnut brown. They are gartered using a nicer set of ties with white and purple wampum.
  • Can be pictured with his favorite war club, fashioned in the so-called "Gunstock" shape with an iron point.
  • Still wears the same pouch and knife around the neck.
  • Nipples remain pierced with the same silver rings.
