Akela is a Wolf Fang Druid-Animal Trainer and a solo player in the MMORPG Elder Tale, with a fine reputation, due to having participated in Full Raid Parties. Since the Catastrophe, he has banded with some old friends, and formed his own guild, Wolven.

Appearance
Standing at 6'07", Akela is actually almost a full foot taller than he is in the real world. He has dark blue hair tied back above his lupine ears with the rest spilling down his back, reaching his waist.

He wears leather armor under a forest green hooded cloak, fur brimming the hood, earth-brown trousers, boots, and fingerless gloves to bear his claws. His eyes are an icy blue, described to be piercing like icicles, and he has a long and bushy wolf tail constantly on display.

Personality
A literal lone wolf, Akela preferred being a solo player before the Catastrophe although he did enjoy spending time with friends and is capable of working in parties, having been a part of several successful full raids.

After becoming trapped in Elder Tale, Akela fell into a depression and suffered great heartache, due to his fears of never seeing his family again. However, his friends found him and helped him realize he was not alone, that they were together, and out of deep appreciation, he founded his own guild, Wolven, and invited them all to join.

Akela is something of a straight man but can have a good laugh and knows when to have fun.

Prior to the Catastrophe
Before the Catastrophe, Akela (whose real name is Akira Rowan) worked as a porter in a high-end restaurant while also working to get his children's novel published. He was born to an American businessman and a Japanese waitress, who met when the former came to Japan on a business trip. They married but due to his father's job, Akela rarely saw him while he lived with his mother.

He grew up, enjoying reading and writing, and desired to become an author of children's books, and found work at a high-end restaurant to earn his own money. He got into Elder Tale when a friend recommended it, and became a veteran player, eventually reaching Level 90. He was playing when the Catastrophe occurred.

Trivia

 * Akela took his username from the character of Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book"

Guild
Wolven is a small, but capable guild in Elder Tale that was formed after the Catastrophe.

It was founded by Akela who, prior to the Catastrophe, had avoided joining any guilds, preferring to be a Solo Player but would participate in Raids.After the Catastrophe, Akela fell into a depression from which his friends helped him out of, leading him to register his own guild and dub it 'Wolven'.

Strength
Wolven consists of 9 members, with its guild master and co-founders all at Level 90 when the guild was founded, and the other five were all below Level 40 by the time each of them joined.

Using their subclasses and going out to hunting grounds to level up, they make good income, and practice working together everyday to improve their teamwork.

Guild Base
After Wolven was founded, instead of renting a guild hall at the main guild building, the guild members pooled their riches in order to purchase their own, a tall tower-like building in the outskirts of Akihabara close to the west border of the city zone as their guild base.

There are 7 floors and 1 basement level.
 * 1) Bathroom - The Bathroom features a large tub and three private showers, where the guild members do most of their bathing/showering; as a rule, the guys have their own bathtime, the girls their own, and Akela enforces this rule rather harshly where Synnbad and Fawkes are concerned.
 * 2) Restroom - There are actually two Restrooms, which just have toilets and sinks, but one of them is used primarily by the girls in the guild where they keep their cosmetics.
 * 3) Akela's room ("guild office") - Akela has the master bedroom of the tower, and after including a desk and bookcase, he began treating it as his own office, using a curtain to conceal his bed and nightstand for privacy.
 * 4) Oraion's room - As Akela's right-hand man and best friend, Oraion has his own bedroom
 * 5) Mariah's room - As a co-founder of the guild, and its head-chef, Mariah has her own bedroom. It's well furnished, with a garden-like theme
 * 6) Lance's room - Lance is one of the senior members and got his own room
 * 7) Kitchen and Dining room - the Kitchen and Dining room intersect, and often Mariah is found there, cooking up something delicious and the aromas of her cooking is often the first thing one smells upon entering
 * 8) Wooden deck - Here, the guild members have a lovely view with a nice awning providing shade from the sun. Sometimes they eat out here on a picnic table
 * 9) Tsukuyomi and Ebony's room - Being among the younger members of the guild and because of their gender, Tsukuyomi and Ebony became roommates.
 * 10) Synnbad and Fawkes' room - As the younger male members of the guild, Synnbad and Fawkes became roommates.
 * 11) Sylph's room - Sylph got her own room as a co-founder of the guild
 * 12) Laundry room - The Laundry room is located in the guild building basement
 * 13) Water tank
 * 14) Stable and Corral - Outside the guild building, right next to it is a large corral with a stable where the guild keeps their horses and Akela's wolf Pet he trained using his Animal Trainer subclass.
 * 15) Greenhouse - Outside the guild building, right next to it is a greenhouse they commissioned from Oceanic Systems to grow herbs, fruits, and vegetables, many of which Mariah uses for cooking and Oraion uses for making herbal remedies
