Mental Description: Bakku is essentially an optimist, trying to find the humor in everything and doing his best to lift the spirits of those around him. Despite his size and sometimes domineering personality, the irathient is actually more gentle than he likes to admit. Death is something he's seen far too much of, and rather than getting used to it, he's come to respect the value of life more than others. There's a lot he'll do for the right amount of gyagya, but most of it lands in the realm of morally acceptable. While he's not so quick to trust, you wouldn't know it from his friendly, occasionally over-the-top interactions with others. In the rare event that someone gains his trust, respect or admiration, he becomes fiercely loyal and protective, but the veil of humor and carelessness can often obscure his true feelings.
Background:
In 2013 Bakku arrived on one of the many Votan arks as an unborn child, one of the first aliens to be born on human soil. At such a young age, he had no understanding of the hatred and fear some of the humans held for him and his kind, but in time it became clearer. At just under five years old, Bakku and his family were forced to relocate to a Votan colony in Mexico. Years later, the colony was thrown into upheaval by the beginnings of the Pale Wars. Fearing the worst, dozens of irathients left the colony to start a small village together, Bakku and his family were among them. Bakku trained in combat with the villagers, adhering to the faith and traditions of the irathients. Bakku was 17 years old when the arks fell, a devastating amount of ark debris landed in Bakku's village, killing well near everyone. Bakku returned to the colony, living there for a few more years before he traveled north with some irathient companions, leaving Mexico behind and taking odd jobs like exterminating hellbugs. So many years later, he arrived in the Bay Area, settling down at an irathient farming village for a while, where he met Viilo.
