Akhun I

Founder member of the League of Heroes, Akhun I became the Akhun on his tribe after the previous one had died of old age, while the title was usually hereditary, the previous Akhun had died without any heirs and many elders of the tribe believe it was a sing, Akhun I would experience a vision of a world burning in flames and decided to proposed himself as the next Akhun, while there were more members of the Tribe that tried to become the Akhun, he was the only one to survive after realizing the Akhun initiation ritual, after which he would exit his tribe and search for the meaning of his visions,
After the French army discovered he was a super human he was quickly enlisted in the army and soon after the war broke out. His initial treatment by the french army was as one lower super human, he would be send into the north Africa theater and would lead many assaults into the vanguard, many of its superiors expected him to died but he was able to beat all probabilities, he quickly became very popular between the African troops and it was clear his powers were more powerful than initially thought.
Akhun I would participate into the western theater soon after fighting the French soldiers in the vanguard and gained the love and appreciation for its people and for the government who saw his calm nature and naiveness as a propaganda tool, while he was not by any chance the most popular French super Hero, it was the one elected to become the Member founder of The League of Heroes after the war ended.
Over the years he would participate in the League stabilizing the fragile world and would be an image of leadership and determination, he would officially retire after his daughter took the Mantle of the Next Akhun and he would return to his tribe.

Powers and Capabilities

Emerald Staff

The Emerald Staff is the weapon used by the Akhun, each one has used their own unique Staff and it is made usually of wood or metal, the important part of the staff is its orb, a green orb that is believe to be the source of the powers of the Akhun, at least partially. All Akhun use the Emerald Staff as their weapon, with the orb they can open a portal to the Emerald Jungle and free one of its beast, then they used the same Orb to take control of it.
Each staff only works for their respective owner, if anyone else were to take the staff, it would have no effect what so ever and although officially, none of the three Akhun had lost or get their staffs destroyed, they would be able to take another orb from the Emerald Jungle a create another staff.

• Akhun I: The Staff of Akhun I was a simple one, is was a short rod made of a torn off branch of a tree, the orb was set to the rod with a rope.
• Akhun II: The orb was a more elaborate one, Akhun I brought some red wood from the Emerald Jungle, from this wood a staff would be carve, long with fine motives representing the history of the Akuanit Tribe and a socket for the orb to keep it firmly in its place.
• Akhun III: This Staff was made of aluminum, it was a rather simple one made with a simple and slick design, the staff had gold rings on its ends and have carvings to have the form of a diamond.

Emerald Portal and Emerald Beats

This Staff allows the Akhun to open a portal to the Emerald Jungle and unbound a beast from the dimension, then the Akhun would use the Staff to take control of the beast; Once the beast enter our dimension it will be in a stage of rage or fear causing it to act aggressively with everything surrounding it, however the beast will also be naturally attracted to the orb, the Akhun then would try to hit the beast with the staff, the contact of the orb with the beast will cause a connection of both the Akhun and the beast. At this moment the Akhun will have control over the beast, the beast will obey the commands of its master.

Body of the Akhun

While the primary power of the Akhun is being able to summon mythight beats, they also have more powers that come along and should they lost their staff to summon this beats, they would still have this powers in full without any drawback.

• Enhanced Senses: Hearing, sight and Smell are very sensible for then, allowing then to have a perception of their surroundings.
• Super Strength: All Akhun have showed an incredible strength despite their relatively small frame and body mass
• Healing Factor: While not being able to fully grow extremities, their bodies can heal most wounds and injuries, this is also correlated to an immunity to illnesses.
• Calm Mind: While they are not controlling a beast, they are unable to feel fear or wrath, this means that most of the time they are relatively calm people and are able to think clearly in all situations.
