| Procreation | Kanaka wai reproduce sexually like humans do. They can reproduce with other ysian nations, humans, and other metahumans, and the offspring follow the mother. With non-human beings, it is only possible with supernatural intervention. |
| Esoterica | Kanaka wai are beings of conflueverant, ikehua lyua pele, emotional resonance, and ashar.

| Special Powers | Kanaka wai are constantly improving, both individually and as a group. Their powers increase as time goes on, expanding or altering by the thermal energies of the world around them. All kanaka wai have the power to glamour while underwater. New powers appear variably. |
| Senses | Kanaka wai have the power to listen to the emotions of the world and learn about the flow of magma and water, as well as information about events in other parts of the world. They can see in low-light and have strong senses of smell. |
| Affinity | Kanaka wai have an affinity, or connection, to mahi-mahi, wahoo, tuna, triggerfish, tang, marlin, swordfish, barracudas, butterflyfish, sailfish, opah, and goatfish. They can sense them, speak to them, and influence them. |
| Weaknesses | Brown aether kills them. |
| National Culture | As a nation of ysians, they share many things with the original nation of their species. However, they have adopted many features of nearby nations, having a focus on the flow of waters through the Thousand Thousand mountains underseas, a connection to the volcanoes there, and passions for building great constructs throughout the mountains around their territories, forming undersea walls and strange temples. They are also fond of turbulent waters, riding dangerous currents for sport. |
| Outside View | On land, kanaka wai are wrongly associated with tidal waves, viewed as the cause of them, and thus shunned and feared by landdwellers. Those who know more about them seek them out sometimes for information. Sailors often consult them when sailing over in order to get their bearings, offering treats in exchange for guidance. |
