Crafting: Carpenter
Apperance: Aketen has been looking very thin and drawn. Her ebony hair reaches down to her collarbones, which she usually leaves free to hide the thinness of her face. Aside from her sickly appearance Aketen is almost the very definition of average. She has a large tattoo on her back, spanning the length of her shoulders, that few ever seem to see because she favors mostly robes in terms of dress.

Special Abilities: She can hear the voice of her deceased father, though she draws less attention to it than when she was younger.

- Alignment:
Motivations: Aketen seems whole-heartedly set on her current project - Reanimating the dead minus the necromantic side-effects. Other than that she remains loyal to her friends, and what they ask of her. She also seems very focused on befriending those that she knew before she left all over again.
Disposition: Usually very calm, with a sarcastic biting side that is usually meant in good fun. It takes a lot to get her angry, but when she does she is simply furious and can not be talked down. From time to time her mood seems to take a dive into depression for no particular reason.
Outlook: "People will hurt you. They may even kill you. Oh well."
Religion/Philosophy: Technically an atheist, Aketen as subscribed herself as a follower of Burtoxxulous for his following's knowledge of death and disease. She has been quoted as saying, "I have nothing to lose in terms of garning favor with one of the gods, in the event that I am wrong, and they are real."
Sexuality: Bisexual - Leans in no particular direction, though she seems to make relationships easier with women.
Positive Personality Traits: Aketen is fun-loving, and fiercly loyal. She is usually very open and willing to listen, and cares deeply (perhaps too much) for the well-being of those important to her.
Negative Personality Traits: She is so shy it's almost crippiling. In many situations, unless there is someone else present that she is aquainted with, Aketen will rare speak. She can also be a bit stubborn, but is passive-agressive when it comes to defending what she believes out of a desire to simply stay out of everyone's way. To her friends, she comes across as a little headstrong, but in reality she's afraid of everyone and everything.
Misc. Quirks: Aketen can play a few instruments thanks to her initial training as a bard, many years ago.

History: When Aketen was 20, her father was determined to leave the island of their home and head to Qeynos to start a better life. They bartered with a Far Seas Training Co. ship and stayed in the Cargo hold. The ship was attacked, with Aketen the only survivor. She washed up, barely alive, on the shores of The Isle of Refuge. Shortly after she began to hear the voice of her father, and even though she had made it to Qeynos AKeten defected into Freeport and started studying the arts of the Defilers. She established a life for herself, and seemed fairly content in Freeport. However, two years ago Aketen completely dissapeared deep into the walls of The Academy of Arcane Science to work with some of the gnomes there on a project of sorts. However, something happened, and Aketen has returned looking frail and sick. One thing she didn't lose was her drive, and she is continuing on with the project by herself.
