Nubicanten

= Nubicanten =
Nubicanten is a citizen, now head of treasury, of Carvinia. he currently has only been a part of the nation for a short time however has given it his undying loyalty, even if at times it does not pear so, thanks to the quick acceptance of him as well as the overall ese he found in living there. despite his role as heavy treasury he can commonly be seen doing more laborious tasks as opposed to the much cushier ones you would expect of someone in his position.
Nubicanten was born, or perhaps hatched, as a hybrid of an assoiti and human. unlike his assoiti parent he was bipedal with 3 digit feet which were able to grasp. he did keep the signature 6 pairs of arms as they are known to have as well as a pair of long, sharp limbs with were positioned just above where the spine would meat the hip bone. he was mostly covered in an dark blue exoskeleton with strips of short, fuzzy, red feathers found mostly by the joints. however from the top of his gut to his inner thighs was a softer yet still thick and tough layer of leathery skin was present. this skin was also found in between the joints as well as under the exoskeleton. his head was rather strange, as it seamed to perfectly match the look, texture, and strength of gold. there was a mixture of the insect like mouth parts and human. a pair of mandibles were on the outside of his face while inside his mouth there was a layer of human like teeth, however all the molars were replaced with either canines or premolars, followed by grinders near his throat which seam to have their own independent jaw to the rest of the mouth. by now he stands at an intimidating but not enormous 7,8 ft. as his height would allude to he is incredibly strong, but despite this he is not well trained in the arts of combat.
== biography ==
not much is known of his earliest parts of life even by him, however through his very fractured amount of memories he can make out that his parents were an assoiti and human. however he is unaware of what happened to them. he knows that for most of his "infancy" he would have to live by himself, living mostly on instincts to hunt and survive, able to do this due to the fact that he was already developed enough to do so even a his younger age.
=== pre-carvinia ===
==== early life ====
by the time he was able to retain his memories he would still be relatively small, especially compared to what he is now, standing at around 3,6 ft at the age of 5. he would wander around from place to place, most commonly around mountainous areas in search of food and shelter. nothing of much importance happened at this time as he would never come near civilized areas. however, something would take an interest in this strange young hybrid. something even stranger than him. 
at the age of 14 he would finally come across a city of some kind, however due to his lack of ability to understand or speech the language he didn't at all know what it was called. the people there would shun him for his wretched looking appearance, some even trying to get violent with him due to a belief that he was a monster. he would despite this stay in the city, eating scraps of food and pests while moving from place to place, finding shelter where ever it was available. during his time he would pick up on the language somewhat and he would find rags which he would dress himself with to hide his odd form. after a time he would once again begin to wander going from town to town buying food for labor while keeping his visage hidden at all times under his cloths to avoid causing a distain for him. during this time the being would grow even more interested in the insectoid. 
=== During Carvinia ===
==== finding of carvinia ====
by now he was at the age of 19 and had now reached his full size. he had earned himself better clothing however would always keep the features of his body covered with rags if the cloths would not cover them. on one of his travels between towns he found himself in a desert near by a river. for some reason he was drawn to it. shortly after he reached it and began staring deeply into the water a sandstorm would quickly form. he would try to hunker down near the river, but the storm had become even heavier and was dragging large pieces of debris with it, one of which would knock him into the water. he would try to swim out but was unable to due to the strength of a current and the storm above. he would knock his head against a large rock, doing it in such a way it snapped his neck. now, by all means he should be dead, however that "thing" decided to intervene, healing him and guiding the waters to the nearby island nation of Carvinia. when he awoke, he found himself on a small island f sand near by the city of new Huffnug and some dock. he would scrabble around for his rags which he appeared to have lost, unable to find them. he did however still have his clothing, though drenched in the salt sea water. after his frantic search he would look at the islands, thinking them to be his saviors and decided he would dedicate his life to them as payment.
==== time in carvinia ====
to gives thanks to the islands that saved him he looked for materials, wood, dirt, plants, and fruits to give to the island. but he didn't think this was enough, so soon, he dove under the water and began to mine out an underwater cave near the islands. he would then begin to mine out stones, gems, and precious metals which he would bring to the islands and store them. during a time of rest a citizen from Carvinia would see him and call out to him. after a few seconds of them exchanging a look, the man would gesture for him to follow him onto the main islands, a place he was yet to go to despite putting so much into getting resources for them. he would guide him through a tour of the cities and gave him some food. he would then lead him to New Hoffnug, where he would see all the homes for sale. he asked the man what they were for and he explained about how New Hoffnug was freshly made and how most the houses were vacant. this intrigued Nubicaten and he asked if he could buy a house and he man responded and told him he could if he had enough money. somewhat familiar with the idea of money due to his travels he would go into the cave in which he stored the materials he had gathered. he would then take them to Carvinia and sold some of them before taking his newly earned money and buying a house with it. now knowing that he could give the resources to the Carvinian government for a reward he quickly brought all the resources from the cave and gave it to them, making a small fortune. he believed that owning money was some form of status and way to be accepted due to his travels. he never accumulated much though because he was unable to carry much with him on his travels and would be unable to buy a space to store it due to what he was. however, the people in Carvinia either didn't notice or didn't care about his disfigured and strange form. he would find comfort by living with the people of Carvinia freely without having to hide his figure. but despite there kindness he still felt slightly scared that eventually they would grow to despise him like so many others, and as such he decided that as long as he was useful they would never shun him. he began to gather more and more resources, selling them to the government for slightly cheaper price than they would normally give for the quantities he provided. unknowingly he actually put strain on the Carvinian government due to the speed he would gather the resource.
a short time after being integrated into the nation he would discover bar and alcohol, and immediately wanted to start making them himself. he would buy a building which used to be a bank so er could make a brewery. he would then have some builders make him a basement in the new brewery so he could store more alcohol. he would then do almost nothing but make alcohol for days. after the few days he would come out and get back to his standard work. he would then request an expansion to his building, starting with an underground wine cellar before beginning to mine out by himself. the area he would mine out would become a farm for cactus.
during his time making a farm, the creature that had been watching them for the few months sense the incident that brought him to Carvinia would show itself to him. the creature would convers with Nubicanten for quite a while, teaching him about the incident and other things that the creature deemed important. Nubicanten would try to ask who or what it was, however, it would not give him the knowledge about either of his questions. after more talk he would leave and tell this to the overseer, not explaining the thing well unfortunately. the overseer would then tell Nubicaten to get rid of the thing, in which he complied by telling it to go away.
one day, as he was going about his standard work, the overseer would be looking for new heads of government to replace some of the missing members as well as a few traitors. as Nubicanten was doing some farm work the overseer would come up to him and ask if he was any good with finances, to which Nubicanten said yes. he would then be assigned to head of treasury, where it was proven that he was indeed good at finances.
a few weeks later the creature would once again appear, this time only in his mind. Nubicaten at first was hesitant to speak to the creature again, however, it had somehow soothed his unsettled feelings. the creature would reveal its true form to him through his mind as well as its self-given name of Arkan-Mag'kan. Arkan-Mag'kan would hold Nubicanten in his own mind space for a time, during which they would converse. after this time nubicanten would find himself admiring the Arkan-Mag'kan, not only for its ideas, strength, and intelligence, but also for its compassion. this admiration would turn to be more like a religion than just simple appreciation of its seaming omnipotence. he would begin to ponder the ideas that Arkan-Mag'Kan had given to him, however for many of the questions he had he found no answers by himself. he began to try and call out to Arkan-Mag'kan. these calls did not go unanswered, and Arkan-Mag'kan would once again begin to converse with him and aswer some of his questions. nubicanten also expressed his desire to worship him, a proposal that Arkan-Mag'kan accepted as though it was what he wanted all along.
With more time both his faith and knowledge of Arkan would grow as he started to expand the religion to other, or at least attempted to.
