Akumin Naut

**Akumin Naut** otherwise known simply as **Aku** is a Human wanderer and lover of all things artistic. He is by no means a nationalist, and holds little spirit as such. Currently, they reside in the country of Escharia, in a town called NisArkhall. Outwardly, he practices Soleannen and has no problems with said religion, but in secret he worships the Asitir faith.

## Early Life

Aku was born in Auron, when it was still ruled by Bardonia, and before it had fallen to ruin. Growing up, he never was able to stay there as his mother and father lived a nomadic life, so now Aku did as well. He moved from country to country, and this is a large part of why he has no sense of nationalism. Most of his movement was for his fathers work, who was a freelance construction worker. They never didnt have money because of this, though there were times where they began to run short.

Aku's parents, now both deceased, had gotten their hands on a copy of the original Adaere Namu. They began studying it while Aku was still only three years old, and became devout worshippers. They would teach Aku the rituals as they performed them, as well as teaching him religious concepts and tolerance as he grew older.

By the time Aku had turned 14, he came down with a great sickness. No doctors or apothecaries in nearby towns and cities were able to cure him, and sentenced him to death. This lead his parents to a quick and hasty dive into the Asitir witchcraft known as Gonmur. While they had some basic knowledge, they had had no reason to truly practice it up until this point. However, it wasnt enough to cure Aku still and they had to search deeper into Telmur magic. Through a mix of the two, his parents had channeled a spirit into Aku, healing him completely. But this came with a cost, as their parents did not know which spirit they channeled into Aku. The ritual itself drained them of their life, and after all was said in done they both found themselves dead.

## Work

From the age of 14, Aku found themself having to work for a living everywhere he went. They hopped from town to town, even getting banished from Bardonia before it fell after getting into business they shouldnt have. They have talents in construction and building that come from his father, though they don't proclaim to be a master by any means. Their real talent comes in with the arts. They is a musician first and foremost, though most places have no need for one. This led them to poetry, which they have taken a liking too and even sold a collection of them. So far, they only have one work available for purchase but as they continue to wander and live, they continues to write.

## Current Life

Aku is currently staying in the city of NisArkhall, having found a welcoming community and an apartment that fits their every need. He currently outsources themself for all kinds of odd jobs, including construction of the military fort in Avony. As they outsource themself to these places though, they will usually pull out a journal and begin to write poems. One of their recent poems, Aquarius, was written as they took a seat in the market stalls of Valoria and gazed upon the statue of Aquarius they proudly present. They currently hold no plans for the future, other than to move out of their apartment and into a house of their own, as well as make a bit more money.
