Character's Appearance: Kata's height is about the same as a normal man, but his weight is lower than most. His hair is an eerie black color and is about shoulders length. His eyes are dark green and have a sharp look to them that never changes. Kata is a person people would usually want to stay away from, because of his death stare and the straight face he keeps most the time. Kata is clothed with clothes of a thief, even though he isn't one. He wears a worn-out cloak around his regular everyday clothing, a satchel at his waist attached to his belt, a locket with a picture of his sister around his neck, and a black scarf around his neck which belonged to his beloved sister. And of course, he always carries the Katenou at his side.
Character's Personality: Since he was separated from his sister, Kodoku Kaoru, his personality changed. He used to be caring, protective, and kind. Protecting and watching over Kaoru was everything to him, until he failed her. Now that he is alone, he is always serious, cold, quiet, and focused. He doesn't care for much, unless it has to do with him, anything close to him, or involves bandits. He wanders killing bandits where ever he goes, it may seem like he's kind-hearted for getting rid of bandits, but Kata only does it for himself. Kata only wants revenge on Ascanth for what happened.
Character's History: He and his sister lived is Ascanth as an orphan because he lost his parents at an early age. His parents were killed by bandits that attacked a small village on the outskirts of Ascanth. Back then, he was more joyful and made friends in the orphanage despite how cruel the owners were. He took care of his sister and always stayed by her side until he became about thirteen years old, when she was taken away from him. To keep themselves warm and fed, the two of them decided to steal from local shops. They watched each other's back, and always stayed together. One night, they decided they wanted to change their lives as soon as possible, the fastest way was to steal from the Ascanth's treasury, unfortunately they were caught. Luckily, Kata escaped, but Kaoru was captured. Only her scarf was left at the scene, and so Kata quickly picked it and fled. He holds it with him everywhere he goes as a memento of Kaoru. Kata, now 20, had already left Ascanth and started teaching himself how to use a sword. He searched for anything that would help him get his revenge on the Ascanth Empire for taking his sister for something as little as thievery. Kata acquired a sword known as the Katenou, and carries it with him at all times. He keeps himself alive the same way he did in the past, but this time he steals from bandits after killing them. Kata is wandering the lands in hopes of finding someone that will help him get revenge on the Ascanth Empire. His wandering led him to the desert region of Haaj.
RP Sample (Will Ask If I Feel it's Necessary): "Hey Kata, look at all this gold I found. We're going to be rich!" Kaoru said with a bag full of coins. "Quiet! We could get caught." With a worried face, Kata picked up some gold as well. "Hey, do you hear something? Hide!" Kaoru panicked and dropped coins as she looked for a place to hide.
"Look at that, why are there coins on the floor?" One of the guards examined curiously. "Hey, it's a thief!" The guard grabbed Kaoru's wrist causing her to drop her scarf. "Let her go!" Kata stood up and attacked the guard with a wooden stick, but it was futile. He was knocked away like a fly. "Kata, run, there's nothing you can do, please!" The guard tightened his grip as she yelled. Kata quickly snatched the scarf Kaoru had dropped and ran with tears pouring down his face. "Get that kid!" More guards emerged and tailed Kata, but because of their bulky armor, they couldn't touch him.
"This can't be happening" Kata thought to himself as he moped back and forth in a dark alley. Looking into the streets, he notices many guards searching every house and store. He stares back at the castle, "I'm sorry Kaoru, I've failed as your brother..."
Kata quickly wakes up, with sweat running down his face and on to his drenched pillow. "That dream again...why?" Kata stares at Kaoru's scarf, "Where's all my stuff?! Why did this have to happen?" Anger building up inside, Kata leaves the inn and notices the entire village is strangely empty. It wasn't unusual that people didn't want to come out because he was there, but all the buildings seemed destroyed. Searching through the streets for his items, Kata comes across the innkeeper; he was a nice man who didn't hesitate to let him stay, for free too. But he looked different; he had a weapon with him.
"You!" The innkeeper said with a stunned face. "Why do you have an axe with you? And my sword?" Kata said calmly eyeing the Katenou at the innkeeper's side. The innkeeper suddenly swung his axe horizontally, aiming for Kata's neck. Kata ducked, "Do you have my locket too?" He swung his axe once more, but missed. "Hah, you're nothing against us without a weapon!" More men appeared from the other buildings, they were apparently bandits. Dodging the attack once more, Kata stole his sword back and stared into the eyes of the innkeeper. In an instant, he slashed the man repeatedly. "MY LOCKET! GIVE IT TO ME!" The other bandits charged with their axes, while some attacked from afar with a bow. Kata attacked relentlessly, taking every hit he couldn't dodge and killing many. Luckily, he had regained some vulnararies stolen from him; otherwise he would have serious injuries.
After awhile, he pursued what was left of the bandits, hoping to get his locket back. This chase led him to Haaj, the desert country. The dust in the midst of battle put Kata at a disadvantage, but he killed all except for one, which seemed like the boss. Blood dripping from his blade and his face, Kata continued the battle. "Don't be a fool, you saw what I did to your comrades, give me the locket." Kata glared at the brigand with the eyes of an assassin. "Heh, you're injured; you can't do anything, no vulnararies either" He brandished his axe and swung. Kata easily blocked, and countered. Unfortunately, this guy could block, unlike his idiotic allies. Kata then unleashed a series of slashes, though weak, the damage began to take it's toll. The brigand fell to his knees, "I'm not done yet," he let out a one more slash that put a deep wound in Kata's leg. As if with no emotion at all, Kata just stood as he wiped the blood off the blade of his Katenou and watched it shine in the sunlight. The brigand fell, and just lay on the floor, motionless. Kata picked up his locket, and trekked to the nearest town, Kor. "I won't let you go again, Kaoru..." Kata thought to himself as he entered the town.
I wish I were the Last Scion!
