Nomoko

Nomoko moves with the slow, deliberate pace of a river-watcher, yet they react faster than a striking hawk. For years, the brash young fighters of Waterfall City saw only a quiet elder who spent days staring at the sky through a strange azure visor, calling out warnings of coming squalls to the fishing boats. They offered respect but never a challenge. That changed during the pirate raid. While others charged into the fray, Nomoko stood perfectly still beside the great fish statue. They didn't block; they simply stepped aside from attacks that hadn't yet landed. They didn't chase; they placed their simple wooden staff where a raider was about to stumble. That visor wasn't just reading clouds; it was reading futures a second before they happened.
