Description: A pudgy man standing about 5'3" has a big stupid grin on his face most of the time. He is dressed in a clean green cloak covering his clean studded leather. He keeps his white hair in a pixie cut. His eyes are white and he is always smoking a pipe.

Personality: His voice, at times compared to that of a Nymph, lambasts those who consider themselves "civilized" with snide, belittling remarks; the subtle growl he speaks with growing louder in doing so, one can find it most pronounced, despite the otherwise natural purity of his tone. His respect, as difficult as one would find it to earn, is unwavering; those who more than prove themselves to him, a bar set well above any reasonable standard, he tolerates in varying degrees. Though less modest and more hasty in his reactions to snap at those who irritate him, Akmen is combative with any and all who dare try his patience in the slightest.

History: He was born blind and as such lacked many opportunities for work. A freak accident while working with his Barrister mother left him crippled. He has drifted apart from his friends and has been working freelance. Each gave each other a copy of their signature longbow.
