Origin

Akin was born in a small town in Mexico, the son of hardworking parents who dreamed of a better life for their family. When Akin was just a young boy, his parents made the difficult decision to cross the border into the United States, seeking opportunities that were scarce in their homeland. They settled in a modest Texas neighborhood where Akin grew up immersed in the rich cultural tapestry of both his Mexican heritage and his new American surroundings. Despite the challenges they faced as undocumented immigrants, Akin's parents were determined to build a stable future for their son.

Through perseverance and a relentless work ethic, Akin's parents found odd jobs in housekeeping, landscaping, and construction. They instilled these values in Akin, teaching him the importance of education and the English language. By the time he reached his teenage years, Akin was fluent in English, which opened doors to better employment opportunities. When he turned eighteen, a combination of luck, advocacy from community organizations, and new immigration policies allowed Akin and his family to obtain legal residency, eventually becoming proud American citizens.

Akin moved to Chicago and pursued a variety of jobs, from landscaping and housekeeping to construction, using his bilingual skills to advance his career. He also nurtured a deep passion for music, particularly hip-hop, which became a creative outlet for him. His talent for DJing caught the attention of local club owners, and before long, he was spinning tracks at popular venues, charming the crowd with his energetic mixes and charismatic presence. Akin's natural charm and good looks made him a hit with the ladies, especially older women enjoying their girl's nights out.

Akin's life took an unexpected turn when he met Nan, a mysterious and alluring woman who frequented the clubs where he performed. They quickly developed a friends-with-benefits relationship, enjoying each other's company both on and off the dance floor. Through Nan, Akin was introduced to Patrika and Katelyn Wrein during the early days of the Seed Eaters, the being group shrouded in mystery. Impressed by his easygoing nature and reliability, the women hired Akin as their caretaker, trusting him with tasks that required discretion and efficiency.

As Akin spent more time with the Seed Eaters, he became a favorite among the group. Nan and Katelyn often relied on him for more than just caretaking using him for their carnal needs, and Akin's charm continued to make him popular within the group. However, as Katelyn fell in love with another man, Josh Kneelly, her attention towards Akin waned, and he found himself more engaged with Nan. As more women joined the collective, Akin struggled to keep up with their insatiable demands, unaware of their true nature as succubi.

Eventually, the odd occurrences around the Seed Eaters piqued Akin's curiosity, and he began to question his role in the group. It was then that Nan, sensing his unease, took him aside and playing down the supernatural angle, explained to Akin that she and the others weren't like average women, they had deeper desires, that needed to be met and that sex energized them and made them very happy. They meant no harm and valued him as part of their group. She reassured him that despite their nature, they were the same people he knew and promised they would never put him in danger.

She emphasized that his presence was a blessing and they truly appreciated him, in a way that was gentle and reassuring, focusing on their need for his unique presence. To sweeten the deal, Nan offered Akin a substantial raise, allowing him to aid his parents and family members back in Mexico financially. Grateful for the opportunity to help his loved ones, Akin decided to stay, embracing his role as caretaker for the Seed Eaters on the flipside the ladies labor to keep supernatural events out of his sight, though sometimes he does see things, but they create plausible excuses for those events later. He generally believes the women are escorts, but knows something else is going on.
