## History

### Early Life

Utka Aktu was born in Orlando Florida in 2004, to his father Gene Aktu and mother Amanda Aktu. During his childhood, Utka's parents often fought with one another verbally, although physical fighting was not uncommon. Amanda begged Gene for a divorce several times, however Gene threatened to take Utka away every time.

Eventually, at the age of 7, Utka's mother brought him to an orphanage late at night, and left him to wait on the front stairs. However, Utka realized too late that she had accidentally left him at an abandoned hot dog factory, instead of an orphanage. Utka then used the ancient art of hitchhiking to get a ride, and decided that he would start travelling.

Utka started hitchhiking his way up the east coast, making many friends along the way. Utka traveled with one of these friends a trucker by the name of Hank Trufflux for 5 years, exploring the eastern states and everything they had to offer. During one such adventure, Utka and Hank climbed to the top of Mt. Washington, however once at the top they both tripped and fell all the way down to the base of the mountain. Both survived the fall with minor injuries.

Utka and Hank eventually parted ways, and Utka began to travel on foot more. Utka eventually hiked all the way through Maine, and began to make his way back down to Florida. Along the way, Utka encountered many wild animals, such as deer, bears, coyotes, etc.

### Camp Jackalope

On one particular hike, Utka went through his chrysalis, and gained bird wings, blue sclera, a bird tail and webbed goose feet. Utka was then attacked by a beast-like monster, but managed to fly away in time. After crash landing, Utka was approached by a woman named Layla, who offered him time at Camp Jackalope, a summer camp for fae. Utka accepted, and he was given a frog which he named Zhaba. A bus quickly brought him to Camp Jackalope.

At camp Jackalope, Utka soon met several other fae, including Em, Morgan, Madison, and Billy Monroe. Utka and his new friends were brought to one of the counselors, who tasked them with finding the Bloody Slasher, a campfire story monster who was terrorizing campers. Utka and his newfound friends set out into the woods and fought the Bloody Slasher, killing it with somewhat a struggle. However, after the fight a man in a porcelain mask and a second slasher appeared, and chased the party out of the woods

### South for the Winter
