Profile
Akron was born in a very low-income mining town along the border of Xylon & Lurhan. His parents were two young, dumb caballors who decided they wanted to have a child while they were barely struggling to get by. Blinded by love and desire for a family, Akron was born. He was born almost completely without fur and almost didn't survive the cold of the first night. His fur grew very slowly, and he was left with giant patches of naked skin along his muzzle, paws, and underbelly. His parents tried to stay optimistic, but poor little Akron was almost an instant regret.
Young Akron was already a little strange; he was completely nonverbal for the first few years of his life. His parents fought constantly and slowly, and their own sanity began to slip as they continued to struggled in extreme poverty. Verbal abuse was normal for young Akron as he constantly got screamed at for not acting normal or how ugly he looked with his patches of missing fur, but during all of it all he would do nothing but stare blankly without a hint of a reaction. He had very intense eyes when he would just stare; it would scare his parents to the point where they would leave home for days on end.
At only 5 years old, Akron was chased out of his home by his mother with a blade. She screamed horrible things at him as he ran and ran through the Xylon winter eventuallyt losing her in the blizzard.It was nothing short of a miracle that Akron was found, a patroling cult member caught sight of him in the snowstorm and brought him to the cult's hub to shelter him.
It took him a few dates to recover from the combined fever and frostbite, the process made him delirious. He would wake up, mimicking the voices of his parents and screaming out the terrible things they would say to him randomly through the nights.
The leader of the cultists, a "reborn" god named Mecrenes was the first face that Akron woke up to. He learned a lot about Akron during his nightly episodes

- Akron had a very unhealthy picking habit as a young cab, he was directed to focus that anxious tic on other things such as gardening and woodcarving. Gardening isn't much of an option for him where he lives but throughout the years he found talent in carving wooden tapestries as well as sculpting furniture from the trees around his home.
- As they grew older Akron found it harder and harder to face his anxieties while being alone, with lots of begging he was able to move in with Oliver. He carved a little headshot of him and Oliver smiling onto the front door of their home.
- Akron's biggest source of trauma is his mother, he often gets flashbacks from time to time of her screaming in his face when he was only a child. The words she used to say torture the young cab often and he has sought guidance from Mecrenes to silence these horrible memories.
- Akron has a terrible habit of muttering to himself, if he's thinking about something there's a 80% chance that it's coming out of his mouth as a hushed whisper. It makes him come off as creepy to those who don't know him.
- The only person who truly never got along with Akron was Mara, he often found himself getting annoyed at the smallest things such as her meek demeanor and her longing dream to want to leave the cult and see the world. Out of respect for Oliver he was never vocal about it.
Since the moment Akron was adopted into the cult he clung to Oliver's side, even over a decade later he still follows him around like his shadow. He loves him, although that love often turns to obsession. He can sometimes forget about his curse when he's with Oliver, poking at him to get reactions, the dangerous missions, ect.
His Messiah. The one who saved Akron from such an agonizing fate and makes sure he remains protected. He owes Mecrenes everything, unaware of the lies that he speaks directly to his face. .
