Navy
NAME: Kawau Paka Crewe
NICKNAME: Navy (explanation in history)
AGE: 18
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: New Zealand
HISTORY
(he has a LOT of history to tell (: I’ll try to make it short)
His mother was native Maori, and his father was an Englishman that had come to Port Pegasus as a British navy man, retiring as a fisherman – in which he met Kahu Kura (rainbow), married her, and had his 8 children. The year that Kawau Paka (sea bird) was 10 years old, was the year that influenza broke out in Port Pegasus, New Zealand. Their father died, and of the 8 Crewe children, only 2 survived. KP, and his 2 year older brother Rongo (rain).
Kahu was devastated that her husband had gone and that she had only 2 children left. She was determined to give her two sons a better life – a life like their father had known. For the next 2 years she worked and saved, getting books for her sons when she was able, and teaching them of their Maori heritage and tradition of tattooing themselves. She saved for them to be able to go into the british navy.
During those 2 years, the boys worked too – fishing like their father had done and sailing out to Anchorage Island. It became Kawau’s favorite place – his place of peace. He was so known for always crossing over to Anchorage, that the sailors and fisherman in the area began to call him Anchor. He rather liked the idea, and the Anchor became his sign.
By the time he was 16, the British Navy picked him and his brother up as cabin boys. Not long after they made their first port, Kawau’s free spirit got him marooned in Singapore. He wandered around Singapore for a few weeks before finding work on an American Navy ship as a hand since he was stronger. The USS Olympia picked him up, and he sailed with them until he was 18 – and even tattooed sailors on board for a fee, which he saved.
After 2 years of sailing with the Navy and experiencing different cultures, he finally hopped off in Brooklyn, NY. He now runs around free and friend to everyone, living off the money he made on board the USS Olympia – and people call him Navy because he came here from the Navy and because of the Anchors tattooed on his hands.
PERSONALITY
Positivity is the current that flows through Navy. He smiles all the time, loves to laugh, and make the best of every situation. He has a slightly Australian/American accent. He finds the simple things in life enjoyable, and is as free as the wind. He makes friends easily, and even though people don’t quite understand him all the time and see him as a strange phenomenon with all of his tattoos – he is a hard person to hate. The simplest way to describe Navy would be to call him the original hippie. The one that started it all. The sea bird.
He has typical habits of a street kid - smoking, gambling, drinking, ect... But he keeps it cool. His goal in life is to love and be loved. He's just waiting for it to happen.
