IC INFORMATION
Character Name: Akizetesche Qou Jokzi/Akizet
AU or OU: AU
Canon: Corru Observer
Canon Point: N/A
Character Age: UhhhHHHHH there's no clear indication but Akizet is definitely An Adult. Like 30s??
AU Description:
Obesk have a larval form and a qou form; in their larval forms they look much like humans, but with chitin and receptors rather than ears. Molting into a qou is usually done as a survival tactic or sometimes as a marker of a huge life change, which sheds natural armor and a more solid shape for shapeshifting malleability that can adapt to large pressure and depth changes. They use their receptors to communicate with thought among each other and can also communicate via vocalization with non-obesk.
Cliffnotes:
- the obesk are a humanesque species who lived underground (think something akin to the Wildsea Ketra; whether they share an ancestral link with humanity is /hand waggle) and formed a symbiotic relationship with several varieties of parasite and larger monsters for food and shelter, digging extensive caverns to live in. A great quake was recorded in their history as the continent they were in fell from the sky; they began choosing surface-runners to investigate and made first contact with Elysium/the Empire at this point.
- Akizet and the Call Research Team are sent out as part of first contact, working on long-range communications and compatibility between obesk receptors and Empire technology. They build a small embassy near Elysium, already under suspicion due to their tendency to treat all 'bright cousins' as equal.
- Had a technological revolution with an ether-infused mineral they called corru - not a substitute for ether stones, but a separate mineral that had retained some kind of strange property from absorbing the radiation of ether stones that allowed them to telepathically link with the material and instruct it into different shapes. Among other things, this allowed them to create technologies, artificial bodies and weaponry on a new scale, including ones that could potentially rival the Empire's armors.
- Empire didn't like this, so they tried to bomb the obesk into oblivion. Possibly this is part of why Bavrecht in particular was chosen as a weaponry test bed; Bavrecht may be the origin point of the obesk?
- The obesk withdraw completely, abandoning all outposts and fortifying their own structures and cities. Akizet and the Call Research Team survive the Embassy's destruction; Akizet chooses to join the Vault and the rebellion rather than go completely underground. Leaving this vague in case anyone else wants to AU etc.
- Viva La begins.
OU Backstory: (A wiki link can be submitted for this, this should outline the general backstory of your character)

Desired Faction: Vault, Flotsam
SAMPLES
Please include two IC threads with your character of at least 5 comments each with two different characters. Samples for AU characters must be within the AU setting. Alternately, you may answer 10 of the following questions from the Interview Sample. The interview sample, ICly, is a discussion with a Corsair recruiter when your character joined the Crimson Corsairs. Answer the questions in-character, and the character may lie but if so please indicate [lie] in the answer.
