Nat’áanii Atsiniltłʼish, known as the Lightning Chief in English, is the elected leader of a previously hidden underground Native American tribe known as the Hóyą́. Living in the technologically advanced city of Hodéezyéél, he was forced to reveal himself and his people when the Doomuli began to threaten Earth as their ancestors foretold. He's also the first member of Brandon's 2018 character lineup.
Like some other Inora characters, he doesn't have a home series but is expected to show up in future crossovers and other projects. Reception for the character has been (TBA).
Appearance
Lightning Chief is a tall, bulky man whose weight mostly consists of muscle with very little fat. He has long black hair, dark skin (like the rest of his tribe), and light brown eyes with black paint smeared beneath them, in addition to very sharp facial features. He has two small turquoise earrings, the hallmark of a Hóyą́ chief.
His usual outfit is a black suit and pants lined with bulletproof Sentelenium. Beneath his suit he wears a white button-up shirt, and his brown boots are made of leather. When it comes to rituals, he goes shirtless and shoeless and instead wears tan pants made out of a fragile cloth.
History
Prehistory
Long ago, the Doomuli visited America as part of their efforts to scout out Earth. Viewing the world's societies as primitive and beneath them, they opted to leave the planet alone until it had further developed. Before this though, they had several violent encounters with the Navajo people. Their weak weapons were unable to compete with the alien group's, which lead to them being slaughtered as well as them being left with the ominous warning that they would return. The survivors recorded this through art, and it was passed down from generation to generation.
As the first European settlers made contact with the Native Americans, the Navajo were split on what actions to take. While most of them believed it was best to take them head on and try to achieve peace, a small faction believed this to be naive, having heard of what they did to the other tribes. This group, deemed the Hóyą́ (a Navajo word meaning disrespectful or wise), migrated underground to a massive hollow cave beneath Colorado. They founded Hodéezyéél, a small peaceful village, and took the art telling the Navajo of the Doomuli with them.
Sending spies up on occasion to check out how things had changed, they saw that the outsiders had slaughtered and marginalized their brethren. The tribe decided to stay isolated besides a few visits to the surface to learn English, in case they ever made contact, and to watch how the rest of the world was progressing. In the 1900s, they discovered a massive deposit of Sentelenium, which allowed them to build taller buildings, create technology decades beyond the surface people, and light the city without using just torches.
