Physical Description
Stocky and sturdy, Ahkati is built for survival in the harsh arid terrain of Sutekh, having been born and raised on the road with his family's caravan team. His form is broad shouldered and short, with wiry muscles under fur adapted to the sweltering heat. The hyena's fur is a dark chocolate-brown near his back, lighter tan near his stomach and chest, and marked by broad black stripes. His muzzle, spiky mane, and face is black, fading to brown on his neck, while the mane runs from between his ears and narrows as it runs to the small of his back.

Clothing is utilitarian, well-worn vintage desert fatigue pants belted off at the waist and sealed at the ankle with boxer's tape to prevent invasive sand or road dust during travel. Ahkadi's top is an old work uniform piece, sun-grayed green with tan mesh in the armpits, and inner elbow to allow heat to escape. His wrists and forearms are also wrapped his boxer's tape for protection against abrasions. An orange shemagh and matching orange beret add a dash of color to the ensemble, and a pair of tinted sun goggles are usually perched on his brow. Across the hyena's back is slung an old military pump-action shotgun loaded with heavy-gauge slugs for defense of life and livings, and a heavy web-belt worn at his waist supports a holster and cartridge bandolier.

Personality

Ahkati was born with thick skin, used to the hardships of the desert and it's people. The hyena is a self sufficient individual, personable within reason and not without his share of adventures. He keeps a positive attitude, believing that life is one giant test of endurance that he has committed himself to beating.

In work, the hyena is confidant almost to the point of arrogance, his finely honed survival skills making caravan life something he can do on simple auto-pilot, though he is by no means complacent, merely his instincts have been attuned to the environment he has chosen as his life.

In more casual times, Ahkati exudes a laid-back demeanor and amiable nature, with a slight wistful edge at times. He always longs for the road, to see something bold and new, something to explore or re-discover. It is this wanderlust that both defines him and motivates him every day.

History
Practically born walking, Ahkati learned about life the rough-and-tumble way, seeing the world through the eyes of a wandering merchant, hopping from settlement to settlement to do business and scraping by every day for food and water enough to carry them for the next leg of the perpetual journey. Eventually, Ahkati grew old enough to carry the weight of the caravan himself, allowing his parents to settle down for a hard-earned rest while their only child continued the tradition of the traveling entrepreneur. He has few friends outside of the caravan companies because of his constant movement, but has many contacts throughout many settlements, and can call up help at a moment's notice.
