He is easily angered in battle but never loses his cool, able to keep in control of his actions and despite his laid back and fun nature, he always puts the safety of his allies above all else. He prides himself when his allies are saved and will do his best to heal even former enemies. It’s shown that he also adores his hairstyle and will gladly fistfight anyone who thinks it is anything less than beautiful. While having an extremely tough exterior, the man has also shown to be compassionate and caring, in both his healing determination and his interaction with animals.

Background


Ikem was born in Palawas grace in the riverlands, his parents were exiled from south of the bone wall for petty crimes long before he was born, his mother was a heavily religious woman dedicated to the six gods and he was raised with similar beliefs
Ikem and his family bullied and pushed around by the local awakened working to keep the villagers in line which gave him a long hatred for the awakened serving joko, driving him to perfect himself to fight back.
In his teen years to early adulthood, his father taught him how to fight as a guardian, to protect the village from wildlife, he also became an illegal fighter in a fighting ring set up to release stress of the exiles, the strength he built up since childhood to beat his opponents in brutal hand to hand fights, however at the age of twenty, he ended up coming to fight an awakened soldier. One who happened to be a member of the mordant crescent who promptly lost against the young powerhouse of a man. Feeling extremely humiliated by defeat at the hands of a simple exile farm boy, the mordant crescent had him arrested.

He continued to work out in his cell of the deadhouse for the next five years, maintaining his resolve and sanity from stories of the gods his mother once told him while keeping himself in shape for if any of the guards thought they would try to beat him, his continues resistance and defiance to what they put him through earned him a jail sentence which would have lasted about three lifetimes after the inevitable awakening they had in mind.
That would have been the case if not for a sunspear raid on the jail. Where they freed the prisoners of corruption from the jail, spreading word of the rise of the sunspears once again. He instantly helped them through the breakout and joined the sunspears, picking up his training once again to dust off his abilities with weapons, once again practicing magic and everything he needed to support the sunspears as a healer who can hit back.

Ever since, his close friends and allies have taken to giving him the nickname “The brick” since, like a brick, he is strong, dependable and it hurts when he hits you.
