Characters

Motega

Motega is Native American. He’s 22 years old, on his last year of college. He studied Environment and Ecology. He’s tall, almost 6’4. He has long black hair, which he never cuts, tanned reddish brown skin, dark eyes. He’s calm, collected, not very expensive. Very spiritual and close to nature and his people. He’s single, believes in soulmates, totem animals and spirits. He worries about the environment, promotes sustainable living and encourages people to be closer with nature. Crafty, good with his hands, taught how to hunt by his father. Shared house duties with his parents and his people for years, so he’s knowledgeable and skilled. Loves to draw and craft. Usually keeps to himself, but good and caring with friends. He faces a lot of prejudice from people around him in the college. Especially from professors, who decide, they can speak about his culture in a dismissive way. Usually keeps quiet, despite inner fury. Prefers to avoid conflict, because he knows people will talk, if he’ll raise his voice and talk badly

Obligated class for every faculty in their building. Another two hours, where Motega begged every ancestor to spare him the talks about he people, he didn’t want to join

Professor walked inside, opened the book, cleared his throat and started the lecture
