Thinkers are the player character of Kainga. They are the only unit capable of discovering new technologies, (generally) cannot fight, and must survive in order to succeed on a mission.
Wise with experience, this Thinker considers the future of his people carefully. Expect an early establishment with the resources needed to get a head start. — Kainga Encyclopedia
Sumac is the newest Thinker to join the Skyloft. He was tasked with finding 6 relics across the lands: a fossilized skull, a Darkwood branch, a teal pearl, Trunkwood sandals, the royal sash and a seeing stone. After having spent his entire life looking for these items, he was given the impossible task to "build a town on a Crustacean". During the tutorial segment of Kainga, Sumac accidentally awakens a Crustacean granting his acceptance into the Skyloft. After having arrived, he wonders why no others had to go through such a difficult journey to become a Thinker... — Thinker Deep Dive: Sumac
Sumac is the first Thinker available to the player upon starting Kainga for the first time.
