Isiaka Akintola

Isiaka Akintola is a major supporting character in Forgotten Villainy. He is a talented swordsman who fights for the Circa rebellion to receive freedom from Weirong San's oppressive reign.
==Appearance ==
Isiaka is a good-looking man with black locs that he often keeps in a low ponytail, and brown eyes with long eyelashes. His skin is dark brown, and he has an flat nose. He has a fit, athletic figure that is somewhat lanky. The bottom half of his right leg is missing, and he usually wears a prosthetic (designed by Ariyo) in place of it. 
Since he is part of the Circa Clan, he generally dresses in yellow clothing, and he wears small, round, golden earrings to signify his heritage.
==Personality ==
Isiaka is very extroverted and social, and becomes one of the first people to treat Meilian nicely because of this. He is almost always cheerful and witty, even in bad situations. Despite his dumb and unserious demeanor, he is actually very intelligent and strategic, a side of him which will show itself occasionally. 
After being taken captive by the Tria Clan and made a slave to Junyao, he becomes significantly less upbeat, more shut-up, and the light in his eyes seems to "disappear." 
==Abilities==
*Fighting Prowess: Isiaka is very skilled at fighting with a shamshir (type of scimitar).
*Strategy: Isiaka has a natural ability to think on his feet and plan ahead.
*Charisma: Isiaka has shown that he has a natural charisma which makes him likeable and allows him to mediate arguments.
== Relationships==
===Ariyo Kang ===
Ariyo is Isiaka's partner. They have known each other for the longest out of anyone else at the Circa rebellion, as they met at an orphanage when Isiaka was a very young child. They escaped from the abusive orphanage together when Isiaka was 6, and they stuck together after that, surviving on the streets of Ojoewe. Ariyo was the first person whom Isiaka told about him being transgender. Throughout the story, they are frequently seen together. It is revealed that they are a couple after Meilian rescues the group from Yuanwei Palace. Isiaka thinks that Ariyo is very smart and talented, but so serious that it's fun to tease them (as "it's cute when they get mad"). Ariyo sees Isiaka as being strong, noble, and funny, but a bit braindead at times.
===Adelana Ayika===
Adelana is one of Isiaka's best friends. Isiaka views her as a strong, capable leader who is also a great friend. They met when they were still children, when Isiaka and Ariyo attempted to steal Adelana's food, and she accidentally revealed herself as the blessed one to them. Isiaka and Ariyo became loyal to Adelana after that, and the three of them have stuck together since then. Isiaka is one of the people Adelana trusts the most, so much so that she placed him on the Circa Council. She sees him as funny, a great fighter, and she also somewhat envies his cheerful nature and natural confidence.
===Damisi Muyiwa===
Damisi is one of Isiaka's closest friends. Isiaka, Adelana, and Ariyo saved Damisi from starving to death when she was 8 years old, and they all stuck together after that. Isiaka and Damisi often spar and train together, since they are both talented fighters. Each respects the other as a great warrior, as well as a good and fun friend.
===Ruhan Jia===
Ruhan is Isiaka's friend. The two of them met shortly after Isiaka first joined the Circa rebellion, and became friends, bonding over the fact they were both boys. They are similarly extroverted and confident, allowing them to form a strong friendship. Isiaka admires Ruhan's valor and archery skill, and he thinks he would be a fine partner for Adelana, but he wishes Ruhan wouldn't fight so much with Ariyo. Ruhan thinks Isiaka is a hilarious and a great fighter. 
===Meilian San===
Meilian is one of Isiaka's friends. At first, Isiaka didn't trust Meilian, but he still treated her somewhat nicely, if not with some teasing and making-fun thrown in. Isiaka became one of Meilian's favorite people out of those at the rebellion due to this, and over time, they grew to be friends. Meilian rescued Isiaka from Junyao's enslavement at Yuanwei Palace, which put a tension between them but increased their trust overall. Isiaka is glad that Meilian makes Adelana happy, and he admires how upbeat she usually is, despite circumstances. Meilian thinks that Isiaka is a worthy opponent to spar with and a funny friend. 
===Weirong San===
Isiaka hates Weirong San. Weirong oppresses and discriminates against the Circa people, a group which Isiaka is part of. Weirong also allowed Isiaka to be taken as a slave to Junyao Feng, an experience which became deeply traumatizing for Isiaka. Isiaka is part of a rebellion against Weirong.
===Junyao Feng===
===Yuling Aragberi ===
=== Korinola Ojediran===
Korinola is Isiaka's friend. They met through Adelana, after Isiaka, Adelana, and their friends joined the Circa rebellion. Isiaka is one of the few people who knows Korinola's secret: that she is related to Adelana.
===Rui Juan===
