Ichake Asaku is a Level 1 Troverthian Ursin Peace Cleric / Level 2 Shepherd Druid in Bedlam in the Badlands. He is played by Amia.

A wandering monk from Troverth, he set out on his journey in service of Dao Shinto three years before the events of the campaign began to bring peace, harmony, and happiness with the spirits and the mortals long before he even heard mention of a demonic thread invading Pteris, which he luckily happened to be in the nearby vicinity. As scared as he may be, he sees it as the best test of his faith. After all, his ideals pull him in that direction, do they not?

Physical Appearance

This is the choice I've made tens of thousands of times.

Ichake Asaku has the traditional patterning of a panda bear, largely white fur with portions of black fur, and black claws. He wears pretty loose-fitting, blue-grey robes with sky blue accents, included a blue-corded belt and necklace with a magatama on it.

Personality

I'll respond to the call of my irritated fate.

Ichake is incredibly reverent in every aspect in their daily life, but not to a point where they become overly uptight or stuck-up. He genuinely believes that the world could be better if everyone treated each other with kindness, peace, and harmony. He knows it's not always possible, but from what he's seen, it usually works.

History

I think I'll give up on giving up.

He set out to help people before he even knew they needed it. Time and time again, Ichake has heard that you can't help people who don't want to be helped. But could he help the people who didn't yet need it? It's a question that Ichake has pondered since the beginning of time, but one that he never thought he'd have to put into practice as he set out on his lonely road throughout all of Quelmar, attempting to spread peace and harmony. Little did he know that the actions of his hometown would make it all the more hard.

The following section is in Layman's notes for now

2/3/2/117 - DAY OF DEPARTURE

THE SECOND DAY OF THE THIRD TENDAY OF JUNONIA, 117 PR

It is Ichake's 20th Birthday today. Normally, a birthday is meant to be a day of great excitement. Today is no exception, but there is also a lingering sense of nervousness within it. Today is the day that Ichake finally gets to depart from home. He has never left the bounds of Quixing with the exception of minor expeditions to the grassy bounds outside of the city to gather herbs and minor supplies to live with and do his religious work. Years of curiosity about the way the world works has finally culminated in his grand sendoff from the Asaku Conclave, the most well known conclave of worshippers to Dao Shinto. Who knows what he'll find on his exceptional journey? He sets out into the world, and it's almost as if the winds have blessed his very back. As if Dao Shinto whispers in his ear, blessing his feet, urging him onwards. But he's unaware of the tragedies that may await him.

6/4/2/117 - ARRIVAL IN FRIþLEAS

THE SIXTH DAY OF THE FOURTH TENDAY OF JUNONIA, 117 PR

After 14 days of travel throughout the region of Troverth, Ichake arrives in Friþleas, and submits himself to the city's laws. He's unsure as to why a place would need to be so strict with the people coming and going, especially when it comes to magic. Isn't magic a tool that is supposed to help people instead of hurting them? He doesn't understand the city's restrictions on both raw magical power and infused magical items, but he's not planning to rebel or challenge the laws in any way, he's happy to follow them and maybe learn more in the meantime. He stays a few days in the main city, enjoying the culture, meeting the religious groups within the city and doing work to help those who need it, before he sets out in the direction of the University of Xyrneiros, planning to drift between the two for a long while.

9/1/5/121 - DEPARTURE FROM FRIþLEAS

THE NINTH DAY OF THE FIRST TENDAY OF ORBRAZE, 120 PR

It's been three years since Ichake first arrived in both Friþleas and Presmarivale, and he feels he's become all the wiser for it. Both of the city have deep, shadowy undersides, but what sets Ichake apart from the lawful people who inhabit both cities is that he doesn't seek to fight it, squash it, or reign it into submission. Just as peace was once made between Glendoveer and Champerty (a peace that he was sure to uphold while he drifted between the two towns), he too believed that he could be a shining beacon of peace could be made between the shadow and the light. He was ready to congratulate his friends from the University of Xyrneiros on their graduation, and made plans to set out from Friþleas that day...until the news broke. Of the Troverthian Demonic Infiltration. He couldn't hide that he was from Troverth any better than a cheetah could change their spots, and with the authorities descending upon him, accusing him of being a secret agent to sow chaos in the city...all he could do was run, with his tail between his legs like a dog. Maybe he really became one. In any sense, he boarded the first boat that was leaving the city, and everything he knew behind.

7/6/6/121 - ARRIVAL IN SALTPORT

THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE SIXTH TENDAY OF DALSK, 120 PR

Ichake arrives in Saltport after a long boat ride, where news of the Demonic Experiments in Troverth has not quite spread yet. He abandons his faith entirely while he is here, a period of his life he doesn't like to refer to, known as the Demonic Grip. Because of this, he has developed a deep fear of demons with charm-based affects.

2/3/2/124 - DEPARTURE FROM SALTPORT

THE SECOND DAY OF THE THIRD TENDAY OF JUNONIA, 124 PR

On Ichake's 27th Birthday, he realizes that even though his hometown has forsaken him, he should not forsake it. He proclaims himself again as Asaku of Troverth, and begins to set out on his missionary work again, departing from Saltport and taking a boat up to Xandria in service of Dao Shinto.

2/4/2/124 - ARRIVAL IN XANDRIA

THE SECOND DAY OF THE FOURTH TENDAY OF JUNONIA, 124 PR

Ichake arrives in Xandria, and spends some time letting the cold refresh himself, since the heat of southern Quelmar has a tendency to melt the poor, fluffy panda bear in an instant (foreshadowing). He makes a life for himself here in Xandria, and is slowly able to shed the label of his old name in Troverth. Even when the news hits, people don't judge him as harshly for it.

7/7/7/127 - DEPARTURE FROM XANDRIA

THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE SEVENTH TENDAY OF KENTGANNON, 126 PR

Even though he largely recognizes the Troverth Demonic Infiltration as not his fault, he still feels the need to atone for it. He considers himself a new worshipper to Dao Shinto in this regard, despite him being told it was as if he'd never left. He decides to trek through the harsh climate of Breme on a journey of self-discovery and atonement for letting the Demonic Infiltration slip under his nose.

2/5/12/127 - ARRIVAL IN KARSÖ

THE SECOND DAY OF THE FIFTH TENDAY OF TORUSTELL, 126 PR

After a long five months of trekking through the snow-covered mountains, camping in the cold, and learning new things about himself when pushed to the limits of his mind, body, and soul, Ichake arrives in Karsö. He doesn't plan to stay long, only a little under a year, but one thing he learned from his journey is he wants to explore more of the world.

1/1/1/128 - DEPARTURE FROM KARSÖ

THE FIRST DAY OF THE FIRST TENDAY OF ARRECHRYLIS, 128 PR

After a little under a year of replenishing his supplies and making a small, but modest living for himself, Ichake is ready to set out again. He wants to explore more of Isonhound, the place that he lived in under such bad terms, and see it in a bit of a more positive light. On New Year's Day, there's a boat from Karsö to Fallhorn City, which he sees as a blessing.

4/2/1/128 - ARRIVAL IN FALLHORN CITY

THE FOURTH DAY OF THE SECOND TENDAY OF ARRECHRYLIS, 128 PR

Ichake arrived in the city, and despite being forced to be relegated to the slums of the city, something that is generally not recommended to be done in Fallhorn City, he's able to make peace with it. After all, having just trekked throughout Breme, there's quite a lot that Ichake can handle (Unless it's the heat). Plus, he's happy to be a comforting presence to the other people living in the city.

7/3/10/134 - DEPARTURE FROM FALLHORN CITY

THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE THIRD TENDAY OF GZY'X, 130 PR

After six long years helping people in the city, Ichake recognizes when it's his time to leave. He can't overstay his welcome, after all! Though, no matter how far he goes, he'll always be thankful to the people he was able to help in Fallhorn City. However, the boats from the city have a tendency to only go north, and Ichake wants to challenge himself by eventually getting to Pteris, so he begins to walk south.

10/3/10/134 - ARRIVAL IN FASILTUM

THE TENTH DAY OF THE THIRD TENDAY OF GZY'X, 130 PR

Ichake decides it would likely be best to micro-dose living in a coastal/tropical climate to acclimate to the heat of Pteris, which is an idea that proves smart, but ultimately still a struggle. Despite that, he arrives in Fasiltum after about a 3-day walk from Fallhorn City, and decides to get to work the way he always does - picking up odd jobs to make money and build up his funds.

6/8/4/136 - DEPARTURE FROM FASILTUM

THE SIXTH DAY OF THE EIGTH TENDAY OF GROVENDER, 136 PR

It's only been about two years since Ichake first arrived in Fasiltum, and his exposure therapy to the heat has been going pretty well! He's been able to acclimate to the warmer temperatures by keeping his fur shorter, but still fluffy. However, this has instilled in him a new sense of hubris that he can handle Pteris, and with his funds newly amassed, he plans to set out and start off his journey in Pteris heading into the hottest time of the year.

8/2/5/136 - ARRIVAL IN PTERIS

THE EIGHTH DAY OF THE SECOND TENDAY OF ORBRAZE, 136 PR

After making the boat journey down to the northern shores of Pteris, he is excited to set out on this brand new walk of life! His hubris does get the better of him somewhat, but he's happy to be on this new journey. For once, he doesn't have a clue of where he's trying to go, since most people in Pteris live away from the ocean, but by wandering around, he's able to enjoy his time in Pteris.

8/5/5/136 - ARRIVAL AT THE ARBORETUM

THE EIGHTH DAY OF THE FIFTH TENDAY OF ORBRASE, 136 PR

Ichake arrives in the Arboretum for the events of "Bedlam in the Badlands."
