Keeket Oakvuk

Keeket Oakvuk is a sculkikian bard and rancher currently living in south-western Eldham. Since emerging from the caves below Eldham, Keeket has begun a life of ranching and music.

Emergence
Keeket, like all sculkikians, was born out of a sculk pit somewhere deep below the lands of Eldham. Keeket lived underground for months, surviving off of whatever troglodytic organisms she could sniff out or hear. She frequently would move around between underground chambers, and this eventually led to her ascent to the surface of Eldham. Keeket followed the scent of a poppy to the surface, amazed by the sweet scent she'd never experienced before, and found herself in a completely different landscape than what she'd known prior. Deciding that her life was better spent here than in the dingy, moist caves she'd spent her life in the few months prior, she set up a small homestead in the forest.

Appearance
Keeket looks like any typical sculkikian. She has dark, cyan hair, an eyeless face, and a large cavity in her chest containing what appears to be souls of other organisms. This cavity stretches from her waist-line's height to just below the collarbone, turning most of her torso's front into a piece of this feature. Around this cavity, six rib-like bones protrude from her sides, offering the souls within her chest protection. Keeket can almost always be found in some variation of the same outfit. Her wardrobe is not fantastically large, so she is usually found in a pair of black pants with a brown belt, brown leather work boots, and matching leather gloves. She also often wears a small crown of sculk fibers as a means of amplifying the sounds around her to her. Despite wearing pants, Keeket does not wear any form of top as it would cover her chest's chasm, causing her to feel suffocated. Alongside this, Keeket, when wearing armor, often opts to wear a chainmail chestplate or neglects to wear a chestplate at all.
