Description
Prince Aikka, sole heir to Nourasia’s throne under King Lao and Queen Nori, endured a royal upbringing defined by discipline. From age seven, he trained rigorously in magic, martial arts, and commanding his giant beetle mount, G’dar, under mentor Canaan—a guiding paternal figure who shaped his leadership and combat prowess. Bound by Nourasia’s coerced alliance with the Crog Empire to ensure survival, Aikka navigated the political tension of aligning with humanity’s enemies, complicating his interactions with humans.
Competing in the Great Race of Ōban to claim the Ultimate Prize and free his world from Crog control, he crossed paths with Molly during Alwas’ pre-selections, forging a bond marked by rivalry and reluctant camaraderie. Their first encounter saw him shielding her and Jordan from Grooor, though Jordan’s prejudice against Nourasians ignited friction. A pivotal race against Molly led to a weaponless duel to honor fair competition, but Jordan’s unauthorized attack on G’dar fractured Aikka’s trust, casting doubt on human integrity.
Honor nonetheless drove Aikka to protect Molly in perilous moments, such as confronting Spirit after a crash. His internal struggle between Nourasian loyalty and personal ethics peaked during the Ōban finals. Forced by General Kross—who held his family hostage—to sabotage the Earth Team’s ship, he later abandoned the race to rescue Molly post-crash, joining forces with her and Jordan to overthrow Kross. This alliance mended fractured ties, acknowledging past transgressions while striving for reconciliation.
Aikka’s journey balanced duty against conscience, as compliance with Crog mandates tested his knightly ideals. Initially reserved, he revealed vulnerability through actions prioritizing Molly’s safety over strategy. Post-race, he returned to a still-occupied Nourasia, resolved to challenge Crog domination despite uncertain odds.
Biologically, Nourasia’s extended orbital cycle and delayed aging rendered his maturity distinct from humans like Molly, complicating their dynamic. His noble yet conflicted persona drew inspiration from Tolkien-esque Elves and dragon-rider lore, with early design concepts featuring a mask to signify hidden darkness—later discarded to contrast rivals’ aggression.
