{{tab}}Keep the '''''Aloha Spirit''''' in mind, as your actions and behavior does have an effect on your environment. Nowhere are the Gods more active than they are in Hawaii. Pushing forward negative vibes and harming the world around you by shunning the spirit of Aloha can feed certain negative and/or dangerous gods. Sticking with the Spirit of Aloha can help the positive gods maintain their power in the face of those more violent. Every day, you have the opportunity to keep the balance of power in Oahu just by living within the Spirit of Aloha. | {{tab}}Keep the '''''Aloha Spirit''''' in mind, as your actions and behavior does have an effect on your environment.

No one is Godly, everyone is Human, and with that comes our frailty in the face of those things which could destroy us. While everyone here could have some special, supernatural, spark, it's not what tells the tale of our PCs. Our PCs forge a community story by going through their trials together, in a far more human method despite there being true Gods and other entities alive and well in the world. |

+ | |- | ||
+ | |style="color:#000;"| {{tab}}The White Council has been a part of the Hawaiian background for a very long time, really since before they began writing their stories down instead of delivering them via oral tradition. Hawaii represents the bridge between the Eastern territory of Ancient Mai and the Western territory of Ebenezer McCoy. It's thoroughly inundated with magical influence due to it being along the Pacific Rim which is a natural source of vibrant energies. There are two active wardens in the area, a married couple known as the Sheppards, considered to be the Wardens of the Pacifica territory. The White Council as a whole in Hawaii are a mellow bunch, living in harmony with the world around them, or at least as much as possible. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | {{tab}}While the White Council does have a lengthy history of being involved in Hawaii, they are certainly not the most powerful influence there. Due to the unusually high number of very active gods, Emissaries, Scions, supernatural creatures, Entities, and various other sundry beings of power, there has been an understanding of balance that is only helped by the White Council. They aren't here in the capacity to control anything save the spreading of uncontrolled, harmful, magic use that breaks the laws of Magic. They are certainly a force to be reckoned with, but the Spirit of Aloha is taken very seriously by them in conjunction with all of their other concerns. After all, no one benefits from Pele electing to throw a massive fit. | ||
