[b]The Hunt[/b]

What is the hunt? One might confuse it with the hunter, but there is no hunt without the prey. The act of chasing, tracking, blending with the environment to elude or surprise. The obsession with the target, the focus of the mind so that all else seem to vanish. A fisherman is not a fish hunter, but a whaler is a whale hunter, a person must leave their comfort, put their necks in the line, to truly hunt.

Tuku is the gamekeeper, they are the deity of hunters, but also the warden of the mightiest of prey and exotic, challenging locale. They are somewhat related to hunting weaponry, skills such as tracking and outdoorsmanship, trophy taking, and keen senses. Within society, the hunted man with a bounty on his head and the bounty hunter are in the periphery of the deity's realm, and with enough obsession and/or risk-taking, a person who hunts for a treasure, an ancient tome, or even love may find themselves dealing with this deity.

[b][u]Persona[/u][/b]
A wildman through and through, they are a somewhat chaotic but reserved deity. Many of their emotions are hidden by the emotionless expression of the wooden mask.

They are not a formal deity, they do not demand rituals and worship and do not see mortals as inherently inferior, but that should not be confused with fairness or trustworthiness. If they were fair, they would still be the god of the fly hunting frog, and the frog hunting heron, but they are not fair, they pick favorites and hold grudges, to them hunting is not some great test or filter that shows the worthy, the randomness of luck and the many advantages one can acquire not by merit clearly taint the results.

Trust to them can only be gained by closeness, they recognize the feeling of mutual trust in a squad of soldiers but not their loyalty to a king. As such they will not give their word or sign contracts, if the other gods want a trustworthy ally in them, they must be worth the trust.

They are not a deity of great objectives, they even have no problem admitting that time is a hunter superior to them as they are truly inescapable and ever-lurking. They move on a drive of curiosity to experience new things, as well as an urge to collect that which is rare or to hunt challenging prey. Behind of a mask of an aloof deity however there is someone who thinks in their non-commitment they are superior to others, and who finds the prospect of being a trickster, throwing wild cards at deities who rely too much on order, is justified, or at least pleasurable.

[b][u]True Form[/u][/b]
A lithe figure wearing a wooden mask and colorful clothing filled with patterns that seem to move on their own. What many assume to be their skin doesn't actually seem to be that at all, with a texture best described as softwood, with the markings being akin to carving instead of tattoos. Their gender is also unclear, if you were to peek under their loincloth you would just find a featureless smooth crotch. It is assumed that taking the mask off would reveal their real looks, but the deity insists it's a simple form, not interesting.
