Akinyi

==The Basics==
Akinyi, (Aki, to those who know her), was born in -5, making her 32 years old this year. She wears her red hair half tied back with a leather tie, and has the green skin of a forest troll. She stands at 6' 4.
She always wears her Relief Team tabard (red cross on a white field) and mostly sticks to practical leggings and boots, though will whip out her spellfire robes (red to match her tabard ;) if there is need). She keeps her first aid supplies on her at all times, stashed in her belt bag (it's really a utility belt), on which she also keeps her dagger and waterskin.
==Physical==
===Inventory===
Her belt has one large compartment, which holds her bandages, gauze squares, cloth padding, needles, thread, and a small tool to unpick existing stitches. Along the rest of the belt are small handmade bone vials, all filled with different potions. They are coded by small painted rings around the top, different colors and different amounts of stripes indicating the use of the liquid within.
==Skills and Professions==
Akinyi is a capable mage, and knows a plenty of useful tricks, but most of these apply to larger scale battle situations, not close combat. She can handle herself in a magical fight, but if it came to a punch up, she'd be as good as useless.
She can open portals to almost anywhere, though this takes a lot of effort and concentration and if she tries too many too often she gets severe headaches and it takes a week or more for her to recover back to full strength.
She gathers useful herbs when she sees them, and is building up a store at Camp M, now she has a place to keep them. She uses these to brew potions with a variety of uses, though she focuses on healing.
She can't heal with magic, but uses a combination of her alchemy, first aid knowledge and healing supplies to act as a medic.
==Past==
===Family===
Her close family consists of only her mother, father and one older brother, though of course she is close to the multiple cousins, aunts and uncles she grew up with.
Mother-Yeft
Father-Maji'ko (deceased)
Brother-Otho
===Childhood===
She was born in Revantusk Village, in the year -5. She grew up there with the tribe, and still visits her brother and elderly mother there frequently.
When she had just reached the training age of ten, elves were beginning to move down into Troll territory, and she picked up a spellbook on one of their scouting trips. She asked the assistance of Sai, one of the elders, in translating it, and began to teach herself arcane magic.
Her experiments weren't going very well, but she had heard talk of an ogre living near the village. He had been outcasted by his people for murder, though she didn't realise that at the time. Aki had heard that the ogre specialised in arcane magic, and decided to approach him despite the fact she knew her parents would strongly disapprove.
He wouldn't talk to her in the beginning, and attempted to scare her off, but she persisted, and eventually he grudgingly agreed to teach her. Her secret studies were going well, and a gruff sort of friendship was forming between the two, but then her parents found out. They went to very long lengths to prevent her from going for more lessons, and the dispute went on for a long time. It only ended when there was an attack by elves, in which her teacher was killed, and she and her father were captured. They were trapped a long way from the village, and Maji'ko was gravely injured. Without their shaman to heal him, his wounds got badly infected and he eventually died. Aki blames herself as she feels that if she had done what her parents had wished and trained a shaman she could have saved him.
With no reason to stay now her father was dead, she attempted magic her teacher had only just begun to teach her before he was killed, portal magic. She managed to teleport herself back to the village, even bringing her father's body back with her, but fainted and slipped into an almost comatose state for over a week. It was feared she would die, but all she needed to do was restore her body's depleted energy.
The shared grief managed to reconcile her with her mother and brother, and though she kept practising arcane magic, she studied first aid and alchemy to a point where she can do almost as much as a magically gifted healer can.
==Guild==
Joined the Horde Relief Team this year, wishing to give aid as she used to when she was a mage doubling up as a medic, but no longer wanting to fight in major battles.
She seems to have become the guild's healer, there to stitch up people's wounds and even provide handy poison cures.
She assisted one of the co-founders, Janxi, to fake her own death, inadvertently involving herself with the Shattered Hand. At the same time she had been caring for a troll at the crossroads, Kithkata, who had a rare, fatal type of blood poisoning. Conveniently provided with a body, she used it to further cover up Janxi's appearance by burying it instead. She was later accused of murder by Syria, a senior member of the Team. This was eventually cleared up by Syria's private investigator, who confirmed Akinyi's explanation.
After the guild was disbanded Aki moved back to Renvantusk Village.
