=Koa's 3x3=
==Friends==
'''Marama Peleps Kaimana''' is Koa's twelve year old daughter with Liriope. She lives with him on the Iron Isle, assisting at the forge and generally getting into trouble.

'''Two-Ton Hammer''', the God of Warstriders, was profoundly diminished by creation of the Exigence. What remains of his puissance forms the power core of Still Smoldering Ashes, though he also manifests as a cranky old man who loiters around the island shaking his fists at clouds. He has no magical power outside the core, though his knowledge of Artifacts is deep.

'''Tebitha''' is an Infernal Exalt sorceress, who runs a floating asylum for those devoured by the Fair Folk. The two crossed paths when they both tried to recover magitech scrap from a watery battlefield south of Wu-Jian. They crossed swords briefly, but were ultimately able to come to an agreement and split the booty. Since then, Tebitha has become a patron of Koa-Mika's forge, supplying a steady stream of orders for artifacts. They also have an on-again/off-again romance, depending on the mood of the focused and mercurial Solar.

==Foes==

'''Scalpel Against Flesh and Steel''' is Koa's primary rival for the magitech treasures hidden in the West, and a dark and twisted mirror of his own desires of lost greatness. Her ghoulish band of half-dead scavengers are a favorite target of Koa's blade, and he's exchanged blows with the Abyssal more than once.

'''Ninegala''', Forge-goddess of Makelo, is proud and mighty. Her works are legendary, as are her passions and furies. She demands much of those who would learn the secrets of her forge, and those who fail her often wind up as carbon for the next batch of steel. Koa studied with her for a time, and the two became lovers, but he had no intention of staying forever. When he rejected her marriage proposal, her wrath was legendary. It is said the heat from her anger forged a blade of such puissance that it slew a Second Circle Demon. To this day, Koa is harassed by her forge-priests and warriors in his travels - though whether they do so at her command is unclear. The two have not spoke since that day, and Koa is not eager to do so.

==Connections==
'''Captain Peleps Liriope,''' a lifer in the Imperial Navy, plys the supply convoy circuit for the Imperial outposts that dot the Western Isles. She and Koa had a relationship in Wu-Jian years ago, before either of them Exalted. Now she's a Water-aspected Captain with a ship of her own and he's the Exigent of Warstriders, raising their daughter on an obscure Island away from the Realm's eyes. They still meet on Abalone from time to time. They were never going to make it as a couple - but they still have the occasional fling when the fleet comes into port.

'''Xuân Otieno the Younger''' is a Guild Merchant-Princess from distant lands that has somehow learned of Koa-Mika. On more than one occasion, she has commissioned bulk orders of high quality arms and armor, jade on the barrelhead, paid in advance. Needless to say, such a customer gets the red carpet treatment. So when her latest request arrived - a suit of ''artifact'' armor that a mortal could use, Koa accepted the challenge.
