[QUOTE="Dave Turner, post: 3199411, member: 12329"] [b]Akilu[/b] [size=+1][b]Description and background[/b][/size] [b]Appearance[/b]: Akilu has the large frame, thick neck, and powerful jaw of his race. His smooth, slightly oily skin displays black and white racial markings that resemble tiger striping. Jet-black eyes like the ocean on a moonless night rest above a small, flat nose. He usually travels barefoot and wearing nothing but short leather breeches and a sleeveless leather cuirass studded with iridescent oyster shells. [b]Backstory[/b]: Akilu has been a resident of the Docks for nearly his entire life. His family were refugees who fled a genocidal assault on their hidden village by the same sahuagin tribe that plagues Ptolus to this day. As the bodies of his clan floated in the bloody surf, Akilu and his family were chased for three days by bloodthirsty sahuagin. Exhausted, they found refuge on the docks of Ptolus. Akilu’s family took to harvesting the rich oyster beds near Ptolus to support themselves. At first, local oyster divers took a dim view of Akilu’s natural advantages, especially as their profits dwindled. For the first year, Akilu and his family were routinely attacked in remote corners of The Docks, in the hope of convincing them to give up oyster farming. Akilu’s natural strength and ferocity soon brought the attacks to an end. Akilu’s family make a comfortable living selling oyster meat and pearls. At the urging of Akilu’s sister, the family have ingratiated themselves with Dock residents by taking on jobs uniquely suited to their racial traits, such as temporary repairs on the stilts that support The Docks. Recently, Akilu’s sister was murdered by the killer plaguing The Docks. Struggling to contain his rage over the loss of yet another darfellan and a beloved sister, Akilu has sworn to avenge his sister’s death and to ensure his mother’s safety. Soon, his sister’s killer will find himself on the end of the ancestral trident of Akilu’s clan.
