The Hawaii Revised Statutes 5-7.5 acknowledges the Spirit of Aloha as not just a philosophy, but also a law that all government officials and citizens (and visitors, too) are obligated to be in accordance with on a daily basis.

5-7.5 “Aloha Spirit”is the coordination of mind and heart within each person. It brings each person to the self. Each person must think and emote good feelings to others. In the contemplation and presence of the life force, “Aloha,” the following unuhi laula may be used:

“Akahai,” meaning kindness to be expressed with tenderness;

“Lokahi,” meaning unity, to be expressed with harmony;

“‘Olu’olo,” meaning agreeable, to be expressed with pleasantness;

“Ha’aha’a,” meaning humility, to be expressed with modesty;

“Ahonui,” meaning patience, to be expressed with perseverance.

“These are traits of character that express the charm, warmth and sincerity of Hawai’i’s people. It was the working philosophy of the native Hawaiians and was presented as a gift to the people of Hawai’i.” For more information, please visit the following resource: Hawaii.gov

 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.

 Because of the ripe history in the area, there are a multitude of strange events that can be looked at throughout the last couple of centuries in order to feed into the happenings within our Tenebrous Isles game. Mysterious sinking islands, erupting volcanoes, active worship to island deities and some cannibalism peppered in there for good fun, the rich culture of the Hawaiian Islands provides a fantastic backdrop for a game where all lore is real.

 Mixing mantles will be allowed, and addressed on a per-application basis. The Fate system is extremely flexible, and so are we, as long as you can work with the GM team to achieve a PC that falls within reason.

 If you do not see the type of supernatural that you would like to play on that list, keep in mind that we are starting out the game with the available common groups in the Dresden Files Fate game and have been able to make rules adjustments to best fit our concept as a site. In the future, additional mantles may open up to allow for further variety of characters.

 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.
