Akali(Character)

Akali is a now reclusive werewolf who has been present for a long time on the planet of Eriu. Once the king of Valtaria, he was a well seasoned traveler, an albeit very obnoxious, could easily prove himself in battle. His current whereabouts or condition are unknown. He died canologically to his Mother during battle with her.

Appearance
In human form, Akali currently appears as a older gentlemen with greyed, collar length un-maintained hair, albiet trimmed in the front; a long face with a pointed chin, adorned with a small tuft of hair, and green eyes. His clothing of choice is pretty casual, reliant on the current weather outside; though he prefers a loose fitting coat and moderately worn dress pants.

In werewolf form Akali appears much more lively; a white wolf with blue stripes along his back and tail. his underbelly is a creame color.He looks aged, but less fragile as a wolf. His white fur has lost some of its luster, the blue of his stripes suffering the same fate.

He is always quite witty and snappy, but doesnt bother much with small talk, making him seem abrupt and fast paced. Akali enjoys goofing around and talking to Catherine.

History
Akali has a long and indepth history leading up to his assassination, after which he was of course dead for a long period of time.

Pre-AAW times
Akali was born into a small shack in an undefined territory in the sub tundra. He and his little brother Akaru were raised by his Mother and Father, who's names were Scarlet and Ringo. Around the age of 12, some affliction took hold of her Mother and she became a shadowlike entity of magic which took a perpetual silhouette of her wolf form as its appearance. It claimed to still be Akali's Mother and protected the family diligently for 2 years before it started to loose its grip on reality. One evening when Akali was 14, a fight broke out in the kitchen between his 'Mother' and Father in the kitchen, where in Mother claimed she had a way to protect Ringo and his kids for eternity. After much protest, and without revealing what that 'plan' was in any detail, Mother struck down Ringo with a powerful blow then consumed his body, Akali caught a glipse and panicked, trying to run away with Akaru. Akaru ignored him until Mother came into the bedroom they were in. Frightened, Akali tried to leave through the window to be pinned down by Mother as blood dripped from her mouth. Akaru saved him from death by bludgening Mother over the head repeatedly with a peice of his bedframe which was loose, and during the chaos Akali slipped into the night while Akaru was left behind.

Left alone, he learned to hunt on his own, relying on his wolf form to kill without any knowledge of how to craft his own weapons. While he could use magic, he was unaware of his full magic capability's at this point. Several years later at the age of 16, Akali came apon a group of travelers in a fateful meteor shower. He watched these powerful heros battle massive monsters many time their size; captivated by their power and friendliness, he tagged along with them on their quest, swearing to himself he would be just like these heros. These travelers turn out to be Matthias, Rogdata, and Neko*(and I think sarah was there too.)

Early AAW RP
Akali, discovering his magic ability's, trained under Matthias, often challenging the much greater foe and king to duels which he frequently lost. Greatly admiring the king of Kavora, he strove to follow in his footsteps, assisting in several battles and skirmishes, and making many friends along the way.

Thel era
A year later, an interesting character by the name of Thel showed up into the ring of adventurers. It was around this time Akali began to gain his harder hitting powers, capable of manipulating water and ice in fantastic ways with a small knowledge of physics. Akali frequently bickered with Thel, they got along but they had their differences among eachother. Rogdata was looking to assign Akali as the king of Valtaria. This was a rather uneventful period, though Akali did get much stronger in this small strech of time versus any other.

King Akali
Months later, Rogdata brought Akali into his fortress to offer him a gift- Kingdom-ship over the land of Valtaria. Akali immediately accepted the offer, eager to become like his role model Matthias. Soon after taking charge of the district, he had a small floating palace built to watch the territory from outside the capital, this also doubled as his living quarters. The palace itself relied on Akali's own magic to keep afloat, slowly siphoning off of him as its main power source. It was also fitted with a back up generator incase anything was to happen to Akali- even though the generator alone could not sustain the palace for very long. Under his rulership the territory slowly began to fall into a economic depression; Akali had no experience with leading a territory and didn't know what to do when presented with the urgent need to reinflate the Valtarian economy. It fared well in the end, but it wasn't the best times for the territory.

Another undefined era
Eventually, Akali, in a mission to take out a criminal ring on Eriu, ended up 'saving' a very young Mars Elf from an underground bunker, she was being held captive; her name was Catherine. Akali was supposed to take care of her, but in a confused and panicked turn of events, turned her over to Matthias/Mik'taks care instead in fear of his inability to raise a child or care for another being. He walked off to peruse his own prospects alone for some time as a King, regretting this for the rest of his life.

ANOTHER time skip later
Several years later(?), Akali has befriended an elf of the name Mik'tak. This started to loop Akali into the Eri'tak universe, where Mik'tak, Akali, and (Catherine?) encountered the Venus elves. I belive Mik'tak was converted into one at some point in this time period, and Akali and another character had to seek out the Venus elf queen and beg for Mik'tak's return to normalcy.

Plant Akali
Some time after this, Akali is attacked by Henry in a frenzied and violent state, he is left critically injured in a field where the Venus Elf Queen presumably had found him and converted him to a venus elf himself to heal his injurys. He remained a Venus elf for some time until asking to be converted back to normal as he wasn't happy as a venus elf. The queen complied reluctantly, turning Akali back to normal by completely separating the plant entity from him- this ended up creating a duplicate but disabled Akali clone that was linked to himself. If the clone was killed, he would die instantly. This was used as a ransom against him acting against the venus elves as a species.

Akali gets a magic carpet
Rogdata gives Akali a magic carpet, nothing really interesting happens here besides Akali trying to make amends with Catherine and Thel.

Assassination
About 2 years later, Akali is Assassinated while giving a public speech to his kingdom by an unknown assassin who was never found. They still walk Eriu to the day. After Akali's death, he was lost in a limbo state outside of any afterlife, he died in a transitional half mortal state due to a certain affliction with the Venus elf queen. He was unable to truly die or live. For somewhere between two to four decades he remained in limbo while the other half of him rotted away slowly on Eriu. He had alot of time to think over his life and his decisions, and matured greatly. Within this limbo state, about 10 years in, a strange spirit who identified himself as Templeton stumbled apon the wolf in Limbo. Apperently a reclusive divine spirit who prefered to ignore the world and stare at the stars, the two made conversation, which was shaky at first. Akali hadn't seen or heard anyone in 10 years, all alone. He was in a horrid and unreconizable state of depression. Templeton gave Akali joy again by staying with him for years at a time discussing philosophy, goofing about, and reading. Templeton later tells him he was the original man of the whole entire family linage of Evereens, implying he was the subject of a folk tale from 500 years ago about a godlike figure with divine powers who walked the earth, and later died by exile.

Resurrection(sorta) to Present
Following the final death of his plant counterpart, Akali is spontaneously thrown out of limbo into a sub-tundra permafrost wasteland- more specifically, the spot he was born on. Nothing was left of his former home, most of it burred under years of rot and frost. Unable to return home, at a lost of a lot of his power from weakness; he set up camp north of his birthplace, spending at least a year there before residing in the north tundras of Eriu, roaming the lands for some time before meeting a human woman named Rose. Falling head over heels in love with her, they leave the artic to Valtaria where they maried and had 2 daughters, named Moon and Shibuya. Shibuya was lost shortly after birth in a tragic kidnapping, leaving them with just Moon, who they affectionatly raised. But not all was well. Slowly Rose and Akali grew apart, their diffrences enough to spoil the quality time they spent together. Growing disinterested in Akali and his wild and self harming tendancys, she left him with Moon while she was 12 to live a safer life, sending Akali into another spiraling depression. 12 years Later, Akali appeared into the spotlight again out of seemingly nowhere, appearing before the newly reincarnated Thel. Neither had ever been seen since their demises. Akali flirtatiously followed Thel around for a short span of time before ending up in Rogdatas castle, leaving Thel in the capital of Kavora with 3 other side characters. Out of the blue, Akali runs into Catherine and another, who were fighting. Catherine, seemingly unaged even after 50 years since they last saw eachother, notes Akali looks 'really old all of the sudden.' They then go on to fight an Eri'traik'n angel who went rouge and attacked the lands of Eriu. They ended up victorious(mainly due to Thel's sacrifice of his age to gain his powers back), but ended up with Akali wounded and weak. His old age of 74 was not faring him well and he was growing weaker and weaker by the day.

2 Years later, Akali reunites with his friends to go on a spontaneous quest to check out a town named Perusi which is demonstrating some strange magical activity- He also wants to collect a special artifact to give to Catherine. Along this arc, the hero's are met with a formidible opponent- Akali's Mother. After several battles, Akali is corrupted by Mother's magic and then later killed by a bite to his throat, ending his life at 76 years old. He was later buried on the side of a footpath leading to a major road to Kavora, and a funeral was held in Valtaria a week later.

He had a good run ;_;
