Grand Karcist Akisa

Appearance:

Akisa is an androgynous individual who stands at 183cm and weighs 65kg. She hides a sleeper build behind several layers of ceremonial robes and a cloak. Her black hair is cut short in layers stopping at her shoulders. She has silver eyes and reddish tan skin. She has several scars on her arms and torso from battles past and Nälkän tattoos on her back.

Behaviour:

Akisa is a troubled spirit, still bearing the scars from a hundred years ago where she funneled her hatred into a weapon as one of the many outstretched claws of rebellion. Despite surviving long enough to live during the early golden years of the Kalmaktama Empire, she left this deep seeded hatred unresolved, electing to bury it and distract herself with more work.

She is eager to make herself useful where she can be, caring little for any consequences that may befall her. However, she cares deeply for the Nalka and would do anything to keep them safe. Big decisions where she may be forced to risk any Nalka weigh heavily on her, sometimes to the point where in anxiety, she will hesitate on making hard calls.

Akisa resents her mixed blood heritage, seeing Daeva blood as something that connects her to something she loathes. She associates her more negative characteristics of hate and violence with her Daeva heritage, as she understood from experiencing the Daeva society and its treatment of her. Akisa thinks to a certain level that partly from her blood, but also from an ‘irreversible personality’ that she is twisted by the Daeva mentality in such a way that makes her ‘evil’.

As such, Akisa has a difficult time accepting any form of praise or generosity. She is awkward with intimate situations of friendliness and kindness.

History:

Akisa was a young slave during the earliest years of Ion’s rebellion. Akisa was liberated during the earlier period of the rebellion from a textile mill. She was eager to join the rebellion, but was forced to wait until she became a teenager to fight. Despite finding comfort in the backlines patrolling the slowly expanding Kalmaktama borders, Akisa yearned to do more. She was taken under the wing of a cunning Karcist mentor named Naimi. Under Naimi’s guidance, Akisa was placed undercover in a Daeva city to collect intelligence and act as a sleeper agent for when the city was to be sieged. The operation was a resounding success, but left a lasting impact on Akisa who was left rattled after months of being embedded in Daeva noble society. In the following months, Akisa would have a falling out with her mentor and part ways.

Akisa continued her fleshcrafting alone, experimenting on her body endlessly until she was almost unrecognizable, having changed herself into a more masculine form to distance themselves from the haunting experience they had playing the role of a Matriarch heiress. They continued to pop up throughout the collapse of the Daeva Empire.

They remained a wandering soul even during the golden age of the Kalmaktama Empire, exploring the various corners of the continent until the War of Flesh and Bronze called them back to action again. They were elevated to the status of Karcist, but even that didn’t keep Akisa tethered. They continued to wander until the war brought them back to Adytum.

The Fall of Adytum was horrifying and swift. Grand Karcist Ion disappeared and Akisa abandoned the fight to escort the civilians hiding behind the inner walls to flee the city. She led a large group of various stragglers away from the fighting. They stayed on the move for a few months to stay ahead of the Mekhanites scouring the continent for the last echoes of the Nälkä.

One night, their entire camp was swallowed and spat back out onto an alien new world—Nerivia. They were stranded, with only Akisa and a few others to look to for guidance. Akisa was forced to truly step up as they settled for good on the planet. Despite the circumstances, the native life of Nerivia were welcoming and kind, granting a glimmer of peace. That peace shattered, when the Daeva arrived to conquer Nerivia.

There were no tears, no fury when Nerivia burned. Deep in Akisa’s heart, this is what they had always expected from the Daeva. But still, quietly in the back of Akisa’s mind there was grief in being proven right yet again.
