[Rakashu]

I was born an Action, never had a choice in the matter, it was always in my blood. One day, when I was a child, my father took me aside and he said to me "Son, what do you want to do when you grow up?". I looked him square in the eye, just like he taught me, and I said "Papa, I want to dance!". He kept that stern cold look on his face and peered into my soul, looking beyond the void of the Universe, and he said to me "No son, you'll be a Copper Miner". So I headed off to the Mines, along with my father, my six brothers, and my grandfather. I worked in those Mines day in and day out from age 7 to 36.

On one of the most tragic days of my life while working in those Copper Mines we had a collapse, my brothers, my father, 12 other men, and my self were caught up in the collapse. Unfortunately my father and brothers perished in the initial collapse, and so there I was, trapped, and alone in this world. We didn't know what to do, where to go, surrounded by the darkness. I sunk into a mighty depression in that moment, uncertainty hitting me like a pickaxe to the wall. That's when I heard it, the final whispers of my father, a ghost within the caverns "Dance, you fool!".

Well, on that day me and my dancing got us out of that mess, saved all 12 men.

10 years later I found my self working on the Vice Squad on the mean streets of Concord, New Hampshire. I had finally learned what exactly it meant to be an Action; we were never meant to be burdened and shackles by the daily goings on of normal humans. No, we were meant for something more, something explosive, something deadly, something where people would go "We need a man, a man of Action", and that's who I became. It would be my inevitable downfall though, when i got in too deep. I remember the day Sarge demanded I turn in my badge and gun, called me a wild card, said I was too much of a liability. I asked him "Does this make me a liability?!" swinging my fist at his desk and punching a clear hole straight through it. Turns out, yes, having such mighty fists does in fact turn you into a liability, and as such I could no longer be on the Vice Squad team.

I traveled the world for 20 years, trying to find my self, trying to find out exactly who I am. That's when I found my self in the jungle mountains of Vietnam, lost, confused, hungry. A monk found me, took me into his temple. I lived with them for 5 years, learned to harness the Fist, the power of Action. When they knew my training had been completed they sent me on my way, giving me a new name.

They called me Rakashu, Rakashu Action. Now I'm a door to door sales man selling bottled water, but when I'm not doing that I'm fighting crime on my own terms. I lead a rag tag group of street urchins who have hearts of gold - literal hearts of gold. My sworn nemesis found it funny to turn childrens hearts into solid masses of gold, it was cruel, unusual, and insane. I took them in though, I made them believe in them selves. I also coach youth basketball at the St.Blanc Academy, an inner city school; they call me coach Cooper, I tell them that isn't my real name, but they still do it any way, I don't understand it.

It's a derivative of Dharkin, which was my first main name when I started playing Everquest.

Years ago my Xbox Live account was Alyss Sin. Alyss after Queen Alyss Heart of Wonderland. I changed Heart to Sin because I thought it wasn't as feminine. Whenever people began calling me "Alyssasin" over the voice chat I condensed it to Alyssin. Basically Allison but "Alice-in". I still get called Alyssa which I chalk up to dyslexia. Should I have a daughter in the future her name will be Alyssin since my eventual wife to be likes it so much.
