Okiti

Most okiti long for thrills and adventure, and while many are loath to leave the security and companionship of a colony, some strike off on their own to seek a life of fortune and excitement. An okiti may have sailed as part of a pirate crew, ran with a band of smugglers, or may have fallen into a criminal gang on dry land, but it is very uncommon for their background to be entirely on the right side of the law.

Okiti enjoy fighting with words as much as weapons, and seldom keep quiet unless actively sneaking. They enjoy outwitting others with riddling talk or petty larceny, and will generally boast of their victories for long enough that their various embellishments make the stories unrecognizable, and seldom let those they outwit forget.
