Description:
None → From the sea came the Afaka - faceless forms made of water bearing the shape of man. From the sea fled the Afaka. They will not go back. Even if it kills them. The only memory they have is desire. The desire to break free from the swirling eternity of their mother and be free, to be different, to have a face and an identity apart from the whole. This desire is what burns at the core of every Afaka. On the other side of their desire is fear - what if they are forced back? What if they meld again? This fear drives Afaka away from bodies of water. Maybe everything will be okay, but not a single one is willing to risk it. This puts them in a precarious position - in their search to avoid the call of water, they often put themselves into environments hostile to their own existence. Almost as a curse to their want for identity, all Afaka look the same. Their bodies are all smooth and blank, resembling human kind but devoid of a face beyond their mouth. Despite being comprised of water, they are only slightly translucent (appearing a cloudy blue) and need to eat to maintain energy and hold themselves together. They are a young race, and so far have produced few offspring. While they can’t reproduce by conventional means, those brave enough to collect a bucket of water have been able to create a smaller one of their kind through concentration and care. Though counter-intuitive, their fear lends them great courage. Anything can be conquered in the face of the eternal rage of the sea. Anything that threatens their newfound independence should prepare to fight tooth and nail, down to the last Afaka, because they aren’t going back.
