## Out-of-universe information

### First appearance

I Try Today

**Akui Azurlumen**, also known as the **Soulfire Daemon**, is a hybrid Netherkin/Blazekin who will be integral to uprising in the Nether. She is a future member of the  Unburnt Rebellion who will make her debut in *I Try Today*.

Akui was created by Dexter Kronos who posted her submission in #character-suggestions-for-series on official Rainimator's Discord server, which was accepted seconds later on December 20th 2023.

## Design

Akui is a dark skinned human-like figure with waist-length, ombre-cyan hair and cyan gradient eyes. She wears a short black crop top with a pauldron and elbowguard on the right shoulder, black gloves on both hands, and fishnet sleeves on both arms (the right one having its fishnet cut in half). Akui also wears a black miniskirt and black knee-length boots, equipped with fishnet stockings. She also wears a small ribbon around her left elbow. She has a noticeable bust and waist.

## Personality

According to her doc, Akui is "Brash and abrasive, [with] little time or care for negotiation, only giving that chance to Netherkin or Blazes. She despises the  Nether Horde for their treatment of Cobalis [home town], and eagerly sides with the  Unburnt Rebellion not only out of respect, but out of genuine trust in Abigail to steer them right. She can be a bit of a flirt and enjoys watching people squirm, but her heart is genuinely in the right place.

If she is angered, however, she will become an absolute monster, enjoying the screams of her enemies and brushing off wounds with a flirty insult in return [...], made to disgust someone enough to slip up so she may burn them to ashes."

Akui's canon personality compared to the suggestion is not confirmed, but it is likely that her abrasive attitude, hatred for the  Nether Horde and her trust in Abigail Crysteffor will remain.

## Skills

According to her doc, Akui is very swift and a great physical fighter, skilled with sickles in particular. Her main weapon, however, is her charm, being able to seduce others rather easily.

Magic wise, she is a skilled Pyromancer, utilizing Blue Flames to combat anyone in her way. She can heal from other flames and magma, can occassionally bend lightning (whether this is still canon is unconfirmed) and heals injuries through absorption. If her doc is mostly canon, she can also produce wings of flames to help her fly in a fight, but they usually only trigger with anger.

Her most obvious weakness is water, which - when doused - will reduce her flame capabilities and have her rely solely on physical power. Otherwise, her tolerance is the next greatest challenge.

## Trivia

* Akui is the sixth accepted character to be officially added into the series, being preceeded by Brots, Kaia, Sora Maeda, Dystopia and Saphira-Thunderwing.
	+ In contrary, however, she was made by a Production Team member.
	+ Ironically, she is said to hate Brots in her original documentation.
* She is the second pansexual character in the series (preceeded by Sora), making her the eighth confirmed LGBTQ+ character.
* Her design and suggestion document were made by Dexter Kronos, allegedly because she 'wanted to test out fishnet designs'.
* The name 'Akui' means 'spite' or 'malice' in Japanese, whilst her surname 'Azurlumen' is a combination of 'azur' ('blue') and 'lumen' ('light).
	+ Therefore her entire name means 'Spite of the Blue Light'.
* Akui's original surname was 'Embersoul', however, this was changed for the canon introduction.
* Akui is the first hybrid Blazekin/Netherkin in any of the series, and the first character to wield blue flames outside of The Dragon.
	+ This is allegedly due to living in the Soul Sand Valley biome.
* Akui is also the third woman of color in the series, preceeded by Hilda and Agatha.
* Akui's age is within her early 20s, making her *at minimum* a year older than Ciara, Rain Wynter and Abigail Crysteffor, and potentially the same age as Stella.

#### Information from the Google Doc

* Akui's father - Egan Embersoul - was apart of a prestigious Blazekin warrior clan in the Soul Sand Valley, defending the kingdom of Cobalis from harm.
* Akui's mother - Sayuri - is a distant relative of the Crysteffors, with her long-defunct clan (the Feuer Clan) acting as advisors to the King of the Blazes.
* She grew up on legends of great Nether warriors, such as Glutton, Lahar (unaccepted character), Agni (unaccepted character), 'Ratzon the Stormslayer' and his son 'Nuriel'.
* Her family were given land by the Blaze King Kurono for their service over the years.
* All the Blazes of her hometown - including King Kurono - were sent to war by the Horde against their will.
	+ Egan was killed under Brots' command months later alongside other captives, leading Akui down a path of vengeance.
* She has conquered her fear/intolerance of water and can bend lightning in some circumstances.
* Her end goal is the destruction of the Horde, especially of Brots and Naeus.
* Akui cannot wear normal clothing or armor because when she gets angry, she heats up, and her clothes are burned. The only exception is her current outfit.
	+ She hates this because "she’d love to wear a dress armor but nooooo".
