Rykanis Dakshata Pic thanks to Keene Ward Basic Facts Name: Rykanis Dakshata Race: Akalak Age: 72 Birthday: 75 Winter 441 Physical Description Height: 7'1" Weight: 270 lbs. Skin Color: deep violet(is easy to tell from black in direct lighting, but easily confused as ebony when in shadows or the dark) Eye color: Pale Blue Hair: Shoulder length black hair, kept in a plait to keep it out of the way Facial Hair: Clean Shaven Gnosis Mark: From Akajia, takes the form of a dark blue triangle between his shoulder blades. Tends to blend in with his deep violet skin, unless looking at from close up, or in good lighting. Character Concept Rykanis is an Akalak, having grown up in Riverfall. His dominant side is closer to what most would see as his "dark" side, it is all about action, emotion, fighting, and tactile experiences. He is full of anger, love, being bold, and lives in the moment. He is not one to hold grudges, and makes friends easily. His recessive side however arose much earlier than in most Akalaks, meaning that his two sides have learned to work together better, even though they are very different. At times it is hard to tell even for Rykanis which side is dominant, or recessive, as they both switch control easily, usually whenever something is going on that they do not enjoy doing, but the other side does. They do tend to conflict though, as they are so different in almost all of there wants and needs, and even the ones they have in common seems to be divided within the similar need. The recessive side is a calm, analytical, patient, and calculating. He likes to reason things out, is very inquisitive, and introspective. At times though he is very detached from people, and is very cautious to the point of fear. He also tends to hold grudges against those he sees as having wronged him. It is a bit funny though how they seem to balance each other. While his dominant side is action oriented, it is also impatient and hates repetitive tasks, such as the ones needed to gain skill by training. His recessive side however is patient, and has no issue doing repetitive tasks for self growth, and often takes over when training or a repeated action is going on. His recessive side is obsessed with knowledge and secrets, but is very cautious, and tends to play it safe. Since he is afraid to take the risks needed for finding secrets, it takes his dominant side to take the lead, and do what needs to be done to help out his recessive side. Though the one thing they do have in common, is the seeking of secrets, which is a obsession for both. However each one is only obsessed with a certain part of it. The dominant side is all about the chase. He likes seeking secrets, but loses interest once he has it, and has an empty feeling which can only be filled by the next secret to find. His recessive side loves having secrets, to store and keep them to himself, to know things about other people and to always know more. But that is all he really cares for, not the seeking of the secrets as the dominant side does. Though he does tend to be on the lookout for secrets, and gets rather excited when he believes he is about to find out a new one. Character History Rykanis was born and raised in Riverfall. He grew up as a normal Akalak, raised by his father and his konti mother. However his mother died soon after his Rite of Trial, and his father left the city before even his Rite of Passage, leaving him his lakan, and to be raised by his grandfather, his last relative. Throughout his life, he has been a devoted follower of Akajia, and has had a need to discover and keep secrets, which has only grown in time.

(Nightstalking) Gnosis Gifted- Has excellent night vision. (Nightstalking) Gnosis Gifted- Can communicate with and befriend shadows. (Nightstalking) Night Stalking : The singularly marked individual instantly knows the language of Makath and can communicate with shadows. They suddenly understand that shadows are not simply the absence of light in an otherwise lit space or the rough image cast by an object blocking rays of illumination.. Shadows instead become sentient creatures for those Akajia marks. And because they become sentient creatures, the Night Stalker can talk to them. This does not mean that the individual can get them to tell him or her what he wants to know. Time and reputation must be built at this level. Shadows must be befriended. Night stalkers with one mark can see clearly into shadows as if they are not there, although shadows do not disappear for them completely. Night stalkers with one mark have excellent night vision and often feel at home in the complete darkness. At this level, the marked begin to yearn to know secrets and their ability to ferret them out simply begins to manifest. Night stalkers literally often stumble upon mysteries and cannot simply help but solve them in their own minds. A night stalker keeps secrets. They have a true reluctance to give them up, however, they can be ‘convinced’ to through bribery, torture, or simple exploitation.
