Rakae (ラカエ, Rakae) is a Konatsian. A gifted warrior, he was granted entry to the prestigious Venyi Academy in Age 746. He trained there for thirteen years, mastering the schools of Master Caktir, Master Levion, and Master Kyomu Tachi in that time. He is a secondary character in Across the Universe.

Overview[]

Appearance[]

Being a Konatsian, Rakae is a biped who vaguely resembles a human. He has pinkish skin, long, pointed ears, and a red mohawk. His eyes are green. He is rather tall, slim but not lacking in muscles. He wears the regular midnight blue training clothes of the Venyi Academy at all times.

Personality[]

Rakae is a laid back individual, far less dramatic than any of the other Venyi acolytes. Soba noticed in their first interaction that Rakae was somewhat selfish and didn't really care too much about him, though he did try to comfort him in a cursory manner. He is not fond of Master Levion, the teacher he spent the most time training under, due to the man using Rakae as his butler. His constant complaining about the masters and the difficulty of their schools caused Soba to consider him a bit of a whiner. When Soba mastered Qono's school, Rakae's insecurity and jealousy was clearly on display. Audacci considered Rakae the easiest to manipulate of the other students, due to his pride and confidence. Despite outwardly showing such confidence, Rakae does not feel that way because he struggled with Master Qono's teachings.

History[]

Across the Universe[]

In the fourth scene of chapter 2, Soba agreed to join the Venyi Academy. Xutol was most pleased. He told Soba that he would be the fourth active student, which was unusual, as the Venyi Academy usually only had one or two students at any given time.

In the first scene of chapter 3, Soba and Xutol reached the planet the Venyi Academy was located on. Xutol wanted to introduce Soba to the other three students immediately. Soba agreed. Xutol led Soba into a small chamber where Audacci, Rakae, and Anso were lounging. The three students sized him before the teacher asked Audacci to spar with him. She promised not to hold back.

The Hera hit him with a two-footed flying kick, sending him into the wall, shattering several of Soba's ribs. He couldn't get to his feet. As she approached him once more, Anso teleported over to Audacci and advised her to stop the fight. Audacci was offended that someone so weak had been granted admission into the academy. Master Xutol stepped forward, shooting ki ropes at Audacci that wrapped around her body and mouth. Though the girl struggled to break free, she could not. He reminded her that everyone at the academy was a family, that they were not in competition with one another, and that they should not be hostile towards one another.

Anso offered to treat Soba's wounds. Xutol nodded, releasing Audacci from the energy bindings. Soba passed out, waking up some time later as Anso was finishing applying his bandages. She told him he shouldn't fight for a while. She also told him that since Audacci's parents had been space pirates, that was why she acted so wild. Anso promised that both Rakae and herself were much more welcoming towards a new recruit. He got to his feet, preparing to rejoin his classmates, and thanked her for helping him. Anso cautioned him against it, but he said he was fine.

They returned to the sparring chamber. Soba requested a fight with Rakae, who was taken aback, due to the other boy's condition. Xutol let them fight, however, after Soba pressed the issue. Rakae used a dull sparring blade during their fight. He struck Soba in the shoulder with the blade. The Yardrat retaliated with a ki ball that the Konatsian deflected. As he went to swing his blade once more, Soba used Instant Transmission to appear behind him. He punched Rakae in the back of the head. The other boy was impressed by Soba's technique. He increased his speed and attacked again, this time overwhelming Soba with sword strikes. When the Yardrat fell to his knees, Rakae placed the sword's tip against his throat and declared himself the winner.

While Xutol admonished him for being boastful, he nevertheless agreed that Rakae had come out on top. Xutol declared Soba's sparring time over. He asked Rakae to direct the Yardrat to Master Levion's location. Rakae was not pleased, as he had wanted to fight Audacci, but Xutol told him that that was Anso's task.

The two departed. Rakae asked Soba what Xutol had told him about the other students. Soba admitted that he hadn't said much of anything. Rakae said that was because Xutol was deliberately cryptic, which he found to be irritating. Soba told him that Xutol had mentioned intuition as being a very important attribute at the school, but Rakae considered that to be an overrated opinion. He thought instinct was more important than intuition, though he cautioned Soba that all of the masters thought intuition was more important.

Soon, they came upon Master Levion. He asked Soba how the sparring session with Audacci had gone. Soba said that he had been thoroughly outclassed. Levion tried to lift his spirits by noting that Audacci had trained with the Venyi Academy for years. Soba, being a new recruit, had not been afforded that luxury yet. Even so, Soba doubted that he could ever reach her level. Levion told him that the most important trait was one's internal drive to be great, to be the best they could be.

Next, he instructed the two watch him. Rakae grew haughty, for he had mastered Levion's teachings years ago. The master asked him to step forward, in that case. Levion materialized a sliver of ki in his palm. Moments later, it fractured into pieces and disappeared. Rakae tensed up. Just then, the ki reappeared around his body, coating him, but remaining about an inch away from his flesh. He knew if he moved a muscle, he'd touch the energy and it would explode. Rakae complained to his master that he had never materialized it that close to his body before. He tried to use his sword to cut his way out, but that caused the ki to explode. Rakae was none too pleased by the result. Levion hinted that he had missed his opportunity to get out of it unscathed.

He asked Soba to step forward. Since Soba was wounded, Levion wanted him to perform an offensive test. He asked the Yardrat to fire the strongest ki blast he could at him. Soba did so. The instructor was impressed at its strength, given the fact that Soba had no combat training. He then asked the Yardrat to use Instant Transmission to teleport a ki blast at Levion. Soba didn't know how to do it, but after Levion explained that ki was just an extension of one's body, meaning that it was no different to teleport that than it was to teleport himself, Soba was able to do it. Impressed, Levion stated that he could see why Xutol had chosen Soba to join the academy.

He dismissed the two for the night, asking them to get some rest. On the walk back to their rooms, Rakae told Soba that Levion had gone easy on him because Audacci had cracked his ribs, but come tomorrow, his training would get very intense. Soba wondered how that would be possible, as bones do not heal that quickly. Rakae mentioned that Master Hotal, the resident healer, would work on him that night.

In the second scene, the acolytes were sleeping in their dormitory. Rakae did not wake up with Audacci and Soba teleported out of the room.

In the third scene, Soba continued his training over the next few months. He noticed that he was still far behind his peers, for Rakae and Anso held back when sparring with him and Audacci had been forbidden from fighting him. He grew disheartened at his lack of progress.

In the fifth scene, Soba found Rakae cleaning his sword under an old, gnarled tree. He told the Konatsian that he had just finished sparring with Anso. She had really done a number on him, which made Rakae laugh. He told Soba that Anso had joined after he and Audacci had, so they were stronger than her. She also hadn't mastered any of the masters' teachings yet. Rakae had mastered Levion's school. He didn't much like Levion, for Levion always made him clean up after the old man, as if he were the guy's butler.

Soba tried to reassure him, as mastering any school was no small feat. Rakae dismissed his words, for Levion's school was the easiest to master in the whole academy. It did not begin to compare to Master Qono's in difficulty. He complained that he had been training under Qono to learn Instant Transmission for six months and had yet to get anywhere in his training. Soba was surprised that Rakae was having such a difficult time with that technique. The Konatsian shook his head. Yardrats could master that technique far easier than any other species. He asked Rakae if his ability to use Instant Transmission meant he had already mastered the teachings of Qono's school. Rakae didn't believe so.

He took Soba to Master Qono's training grounds (Soba had never been there before). As they descended in through a door towards an underground chamber, Soba sensed Qono's energy coming from ahead. He grabbed Rakae's arm and teleported them over to the master, startling the Konatsian bad. Nevertheless, Rakae bowed when he spotted Qono standing on the far side of the room. They greeted one another. Qono noticed that Soba was a Yardrat. Soba didn't know if he had mastered Instant Transmission to the level Qono had, so he asked the master to test his abilities. Rakae whined that he had wanted to continue his training. Qono ordered him to meditate instead as he and Soba teleported away to some far-distant world.

In the sixth scene, Audacci thought to herself that it had taken her four years to master her first school - Xutol's. She believed that his school was the easiest to master. She noted that neither Rakae, nor Anso, nor Soba had trained at that school yet. Rakae gave up on Qono's school after two years. Even so, Audacci considered him to be her only threat (though she was far stronger than any of them) due to him mastering two schools, while the others had only mastered one in that time. She was growing annoyed at Rakae for getting close to mastering Sharu-Kan's school. She changed her focus to Sharu-Kan's school as well, for Anso had mastered it, and she knew that she was far superior to Anso.

After receiving a message from a Corvos League envoy, Audacci met up with Rakae, who was bloodied and bruised and triumphant. He boasted that he had just mastered Caktir's teachings. She wanted him to show her Caktir's famous technique. Tired as he was, he didn't want to. When she called him a coward, he obliged to spar. He attacked her, but she dodged him, hitting him on the back of the neck and sending him into a stream. Spitting blood, he changed his mind, deciding that they should spar the next day. Audacci didn't give him the chance to go through with that. He came at her again, mistaking her defiance for playfulness. She caught his fist and crushed his hand in her palm, breaking multiple bones. As he screamed, she shot into the air and came down on his head as hard as she could with her elbow. The blow reverberated through his body, causing his eyes to explode. She hit him three more times. Rakae fell to his knees. Moments later, his body exploded in a mess of gore. Satisfied, Audacci burned the evidence, reducing much of the garden to glass.

In the seventh scene, Soba sensed Rakae's death and also sensed that it had been Audacci who had killed him. He teleported to the location of the incident. Audacci asked him not to say anything to the masters. The lie she came up with was that Rakae, having grown weary of the masters' authority, had decided to leave the school. Knowing she could kill him if he refused, he agreed to back her up if the masters asked about Rakae. She asked him to repeat the alibi to her, and he did so. Then, she dismissed him. Soba walked back to the dorms. He was deeply saddened by Rakae's death. Later, Soba told Anso that Audacci had killed Rakae. He implored her to tell the masters and avoid confronting Audacci if she wanted to live.

In the eighth scene, Anso went to see Master Jabo to inform him of Rakae's death. As she approached his chambers, Audacci attacked her. Anso dodged. Then, the Hera landed. She lamented the fact that Soba had told Anso of Rakae's death, for now Anso would have to die.

Rakae carried a sword because TeamUnitedNerds thought that all Konatsians should do so for some inexplicable reason.
