Quote: When I was young, my mother fell ill, and searching for firewood became my job. Over the years, the trees around my village began to disappear. Piece by piece, they were stripped away. Wood became as precious as gold, and no one thought to plant new trees. Each day, I was forced to travel farther and farther to find firewood. One afternoon, I spotted a small herd of elephants. I knew they would eventually lead me to trees. I followed the magnificent beasts for hours, until finally – trees! But before the elephants could take cover in that tiny patch of forest, poachers opened fire. That awful sight burned itself into my mind. I realized that people are not the only ones who need trees to survive. Animals need them for food, and protection, too. That is why I believe so strongly in planting trees.
Name: Kwame
Age: 16
Where is this character from? Captain Planet and the Planeteers
Why did you pick him/her?: The final Planeteer, and Gi needs a friend.
Picture:
Personality: intelligent, compassionate, loyal, kind. He is calm and serious being the leader he is able to stay focused and lead his team and others out of danger. But even he can lose his cool and panick or get angry if he's pushed too far. For a brief time he quit thinking he couldn't make a difference. But he later returned after being convinced he could. After their abductions he didn't suffer as bad as Gi but pretty close. He was tortured in different ways made to believe his team was dead and he was alone. That Ma-Ti had abandoned them all to this fate. He adores Gi like a sister and is protective of her. He is very protective of the Earth always wanting to protect trees especially or plant new ones if necessary.
History:
Kwame grew up in Africa. He gathered firewood and other supplies for his family growing up. He did watch elephants get killed by poachers who could have survived if there was more trees around. One day he received his the Ring Of Earth and he accepted it. He joined the Planteers and became the leader of the team. He quickly became good friends with Linka, Wheeler, Gi and Ma-Ti. He lived with Wheeler and Ma-Ti in their house while the girls lived in another one.
Despite their different cultures and backgrounds the team became good friends. They had a rocky start at first but soon learned how4 to use their powers and grow as a team. Their enemies soon saw them as an an noyance and often tried to separate them or stop them from summoning Captain Planet. The villains great achievements were Captain Pollution, Zarm getting them to temporarily wear the Gauntlets of Conquest, and wheeler being tricked to alter history. In that alternate history Kwame returned to Africa using his ring to stop what damage he could there. With only four rings there was no Captain Planet so they'd split apart. Wheeler restored time to its rightful place and the team saved Wheeler from the cave in.
One day Ma-Ti disappeared and the rest were captured by the eco villains. Kwame did his best to survive for his team. But he was told they were all killed and he was the last. That he'd failed his team and the Earth. The more psychological and physical tortues placed on him the more he tried to fight back. Eventually he snapped just as the ship was shocked by explosions. The others had escaped. He had been lied to and they were alive. They were scattered in the confusion but he briefly got ahold of his ring before everything went black.
When he came to his ring flew away from him as a glove lay by him. Zarm's old glove. He picked it up vowing to protect his friends and the planet by force if necessary. Now having the Earth Glove of Conquest. He then found the circus and joined it learning Gi was there.
