Gaka

Gaka was one of the more trusted lowborn Foreckaw to follow Wisest out of Gunhalmeir and start the unofficial 4th Generation of Foreckaw. He took on most of the manual labor around the Soaring Village, and helped raise it to what it was.

## Appearance and Personality

Like most Foreckaw, Gaka wasn't overly clothed, only wearing low cut smallclothes. His skin was completely green, with the usual purple eyes and antennae jutting from his forehead. He was relatively tall, burly, and as Wonder noted, often foul-smelling. As a lowborn, his speech was kept simple, and had a tendency to fly into primitive rages. His thought process was overly simpliistic as well, and didn't think deeply about much, even attacking Feyule at one point, confusing her for the Canickaw which destroyed his bridge. Despite his lacking intelligence, he was earnest and remorseful about his mistakes, and was very receptive to orders. He had a tendency to take moments to himself, muttering his simple thoughts aloud.

## Story

Gaka was a part of the segment of Gunhalmeir which followed Wisest to form the Soaring Generation, though it is not known why. On the journey out of Gunhalmeir, he and the rest of the Foreckaw were attacked by Monstrous and some of her Widerain Watchmen. Gaka survived, though some Foreckaw and possessions were lost in the encounter.

Gaka was presumably the lead laborer once Wisest decided on a spot to raise a new village, and though he had not read of the old Human books describing their architecture, he was likely guided by one of the Highborn. With Gaka's hard work, many structures were built, and a home for the Soaring Generation was set.

Giida, Guurah, Gohst, and Gaka were all part of a squad that had gotten stranded on the opposite side of the river when the Canickaw destroyed their bridge, and thieved the proper tools to repair it. Frustrated by this, Gaka separated himself from the others and considered trying to jump from a nearby mountain to clear the river. Feyule was troubled by this concept, and introduced herself to the Foreckaw before he could jump, despite Wonder's warning against it. Gaka confused Feyule for the Canickaw which left him stranded, and flew into a rage, attacking them. Once he was beaten, he explained the current situation, and Feyule offered to help him get back to his village. Wonder insisted they would only help if they could have a place to rest, to which Gaka reluctantly agreed.

After Gohst found him, Gaka calmed down considerably and felt remorse about his actions, offering to help Wonder and Feyule when they returned from retrieving the stolen tools. He chopped makeshift planks and bolted them in place, allowing a passage for them while he continued to fix the bridge completely.

The next time Gaka was seen was at the Foreckaw Trial for Wonder and Feyule. He hurriedly constructed a makeshift judge's table for Wisest, who presided over it. Gaka testified against the pair, claiming that Wonder and Feyule attacked him when they met, causing a stir in the all-Foreckaw crowd. In the proper answer, Feyule interjected, defending Gaka's actions, claiming it was all a misunderstanding, and they became friends after the skirmish.

After the trial, Gaka was tasked with finding Guufu, who was visibly rattled during the trial, and disappeared soon after. Gaka searched around the village for some time, but eventually made his way to the Wilds to look for him there. At some point during his search, he was ambushed by the Canickaw stalking him, dying in the conflict. It is unclear who struck the final blow, but it is heavily implied Maevrix was the killer.

When Wonder's group were investigating the remains of Feyule's Mint Garden, the Canickaw surrounded the cave it resided in, and infiltrated it. When they encountered Maevrix and his group at the mouth of the cave, he callously pulled out Gaka's severed head from behind his back as an intimidation tactic, and also a rallying cry for his own men. Gaka's head was kicked into the rock and rubble of the cave, before Maevrix and his men engaged Wonder's group.
