Bonuses:
Akisa, despite appearances, is first and foremost a soldier. She fights physically, preferring to get her own hands dirty and seeing things through in person. Her talents for Fleshcrafting are weighted heavily into her own body, being a fluid shapeshifter and deceptively average for being built like a human bulldozer.
Her scholarly knowledge is where she often falls short, sometimes being too impatient or too busy to sit down and enlighten herself with written works. She works on feelings and instincts that she’s built up over the years, especially as a leader. For better or worse.
In person, she can be a little off-putting from her at best, reserved, or at worst, gloomy attitude. She means well, even if she comes off a little harsh, but there are few souls who know her well enough to know more than what shows on the surface.

Appearance:
Akisa is an androgynous individual who stands at 173cm 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 Nalkan 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. For example, her eagerness to lead an expedition into The Ways to search for other realms to explore and learn about.
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 quietly resents her mixed blood heritage and holds internalized misogyny from her childhood as a Daeva slave. She subconsciously associates her more negative characteristics of hate and violence with her Daeva heritage and womanhood, 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. One of her healthiest relationships despite not seeing eye to eye, was with the late Karcist Fekohar.

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. Once she joined the fight, she quickly gathered renown for killing a Daeva Matriarch and helping capture a city at the age of 16. Akisa was well known for her physical prowess.
However, despite the impressive feat, it seemed to have rattled Akisa into taking a drastic shift in identity over the following 2 years. Their fleshcrafting talent was used on themselves to take on a more masculine form and role in society. Akisa became recognized as a Karcist at the age of 19. Akisa pulled away from involvement in combat as the rebellion began to quiet down and the new Nalkan territories were being established.
As the Kalmaktama were getting their feet on the ground, more avenues beyond their humble planet were becoming known to them. Experiments and research were being conducted to travel off-world via The Ways. Akisa, in hopes of distancing himself from his ghosts, led an expedition through The Ways. However, the expedition overshot their destination, slipping out of their cycle and becoming stranded on Nerivia.
However, despite the circumstances, the Nalka were kindly welcomed by the natives of Nerivia. Akisa had a difficult time adjusting at first, but found a glimmer of peace in teaching Carnomancy to the natives. This peace wavered first upon discovering that Akisa and the other Kalmaktama were not aging.
That peace finally broke when the Daeva returned.
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.
