Axi.

[Oliver]

Basic Character Information

Name: Axian Typherous Dekkalt, commonly nicknamed "Axi" by his peers.
Race: Asura.
Profession: Engineer/Mechanist.
Age: 19, yet looks 24 by Asura standards.
Gender: Male.

Appearance

Being a little bigger than the average Asura, Axi stands proudly above his Asura peers. His skin remains a paler shade due to his lust for cavern exploration, a contrast to his darker hair colour. His eyes are by far the most notable feature of his facial appearance, being a deep shade of red, almost akin to rubies. This pigment is shared with a rather striking circular pattern tattoo on his upper left arm, trailing down to his forearm and barely being hidden by his clothing. The origins of the tattoo remain a closely guarded secret, shared only with those that know him well.

He much prefers attire that sets him aside from his friends, yet everything must serve a purpose. He's frequently seen donning a set of engineer's goggles, and thick, functional, protective clothing to shield him from the elements. Infernal devices line the inside of his coat, sometimes rattling around as he walks. The origins of his tools and trinkets remains unknown to him, yet he makes use of them whenever he can.

Biography

Being born into a network of underground caves, Axi was extremely fond of all things mechanical, frequently building small golems and other such devices to aid his parents in discovering mystical artifacts and fascinating relics. His path to becoming an adult was somewhat difficult; his father eventually abandoned him without reason at the age of 12 in the murky depths of the Ak'tur caves, and he was forced into a life of fear and angst, seemingly being the only creature in those forsaken caves.

He travelled for days, weeks, months in the stone cold depths, eventually running out of the supplies he was rationing for himself. His mind slowly descended into a state of heightened insanity, wanting nothing more than to see the overworld that his father once promised existed. Eventually blacking out searching for the cave exit, all hope for Axi's survival was lost. His will to continue was shattered, his hopes to see his parents again were cast aside by feelings of betrayal and hate.

That is...until he woke up to the red sun on the horizon, propped up on a tree nearby a dark entrance to a very sinister cave that he simply does not recognize, no matter how hard he tries. In disarray, he gathered what strength he had left and set off towards the nearest sign of life.
