Personality:
Loyalty: It takes a bit for her to warm up to another person but once she does she is very Loyal and will stand by them and support them in their endeavors.
Frugal: If she was given the choice she would choose the cheaper option over the more expensive one any chance she got. She was raised to be careful with all trades and to save where she could so the rule was burned into her brain for her whole life.
Impulsive: She would charge into any activities that would come to her mind. No matter how rash or dumb it is. From catching small fish up to going and doing things her parents told her were dumb to attempt.
History: When Akamu was really young her father took up hunting to support and feed the family as well as get extra food to trade. While his father is out working her mother is at home taking care of her and her baby siblings. Akamu helps her mother take care of them when she can but she would rather be out exploring and catching fish. She doesn't tell her mom, but the fish she catches she brings home and puts in the food storage.
The family never really had a lot so her father was always working and her mother was always making sure that all the kids would stay healthy so that they wouldn't have to get any healers to help.
Prompt Response || Akamu’s eyes slowly drifted open as she woke from her sleep. She groaned softly and sat up, stretching and looking around her dimly lit room. She got of up her sleeping spot and looks around, letting out a soft sight. “I know you’re there. You’re bad a holding back your giggles.” She said and looked at the grass growing in the corner of her room. There was a soft rustle and a couple of her siblings swim out of the grass and out of her room, giggling all the way out. Akamu shakes her head and swims out to the front room.
“Sweetie, can you help me?” Akamu’s Mother asked her, working on cleaning up the place. Akamu sighs and nods a bit, reluctantly helping her mother clean up. Once they finished cleaning Akamu swims and peeks outside before grinning widely. “Oh no.. I told you that you shouldn’t-” Her mother stops when Akamu swims out, grinning widely. Her mother groaned and walked over to the entrance. “Make sure you keep your distance if you’re going after what I think you are!” She shouted after her.
“Okay, Okay!” Akamu shouted back and swam, looking around to see if she can spot any Weliwekas. She knew that they were a dangerous creature but what she heard of them made them sound so pretty, like a sea of stars. She knew she had to see one, even if it was only one time and from a distance. ‘Finding one may be a small dream, but it’s not the big dream I need to complete.’ Akamu thought to herself, starting to get lost in her thoughts as she swam. Her mind snapped back to reality and she swam up quickly, just barely missing a neighbor.
“Watch out.” The person said, waving and shakes their head. Akamu giggles and keeps swimming and glancing from side to side.
“Come oooon, Weliwekas.”Akamu groaned. She swam hader, kicking her feet faster in hopes of finding the starry creature in her dream. Her eyes widen and her let out a gasp. It was there, faint and in the distance, but it was there. “Wait! Come back!” She shouted, doing her best to catch up with it. Akamu felt the sinking reality that she wouldn’t be able to catch it as it faded into the darkness of the deep. She groaned softly and shook her head a bit before swimming back home.
“How was the adventure?” Her mom asked her. Akamu shook her head and sighed before going and laying on the floor. “The bad, I see.” She added.
“I was able to see one but wasn’t able to get a good look at it.” Akamu rolled over onto her belly and yawns. Her mother walks over, leans down and kisses the top of her head gently. Akamu mumbles and curls up and slowly falls asleep. Her mother picks her up and takes her to her room before laying her down on her bed, leaving her room quietly.

THE MOAKAI
Deep in the shadowed depths of Kahikina dwells a race bred to survive the cold and the darkness. The Moakai have dark, cooler toned skin that is a backdrop for their bright eyes. Their scales match their hair, going from brighter blue-toned colors to nearly black. On top of the being the darkest colored race in Kahikina, they are also known for the lure that sprouts from their forehead and softly glows in the darkness. It is rare for most to wander away from their deep sea home, but some are starting to emerge on the surface to explore the lands unlocked by the recent floods.
The main home to the Moakai is the deep sea trench Ka'lei, where they believe Iokaila, the Mother Ocean, lives and communicates. While most of the deep sea is open and filled with strong currents, the Moakai have established key settlements for safety. No Moakai has lived outside of the four major settlements, at least not for long. For how empty the lands of Ka'lei may seem, they house a rare treat of creatures that glow softly like stars in a moonless sky.
Near the surface of Ka'lei lies the large settlement of Akamu, and is known as the Twilight City due to the soft sunlight that still penetrates the waters. Farther down into the Trench means most of the remaining settlements are housed in pitch black. It is only the bioluminescence that allows any travelers the ability to travel in the deep ocean, and even then it is strongly recommended visitors travel with a Moakai guide.
The Moakai are a serious race that believes strongly in the voice of the ocean. Much like their neighbors in the reef, they have become strong swimmers thanks to years of living in the currents of the sea. In the past, they depended on others to communicate with the freshwater people, as they struggle to adapt to the pressure of the upper oceans as well as the taste of freshwater. Many are uncertain on what the opening of the river means to their home, and hesitant to journey to the surface too quickly.
Religion
The Moakai have developed their faith around the currents of the ocean. Because they live in the depths of the sea, they are intimate with the impact of the tides on the way of life. Water is seen as the life and energy of the world, and the currents are the flow of the world that brings life to the ocean. Many Moakai understand the danger of these 'current rivers', and learn quickly of their location so they do not get drawn in. There is an awe and fear of the power of the Mother Ocean, Iokaila, and Moakai children are taught to understand that the 'chaos' of the currents is something to respect. They know that Iokaila is a fickle deity, and take care to ensure they don't get snared in her fits of rage.
The Moakai religion has taught its people to be strong and vigilant, respecting that chaos is a reflection of strength and that there is always a balance between peace and destruction. There is no pressure in their religion to pray or follow any sort of rules, but simply to listen to nature, respect Iokaila, and be aware of the world and power around them.
Government
The Moakai have a government with Iokaila being the central leader, and divine prophets that read the messages of the ocean and speak the word to the people. The leadership doesn't dictate how the people need to act culturally, but instead focus on reading the messages of Iokaila and using them as guidance for how to manage the settlements. Citizens of the deep are allowed to act on their own without major consequences, but also trust in the prophets to interpret Iokaila. In the past, those that refused to follow the guidance of the prophets often faced disastrous consequences, and as a result there is often a fear whenever a message comes back that speaks of risk or ruin.
