Name(s): Kouen Dainiji
Nickname(s): N/A
Age: 19
Sex: Male
Birthday: 17/7/x372
Sexuality: Straight
Affiliation: Neutral Mage
Rank: D-rank

Guild: Tartaros
Guild Tattoo: Kouen’s guild tattoo is colored black and placed on his lower left abdominal.

Physical Characteristics: Starting things off Kouen’s hair is a dirty snow white color that seems to be snow white during the day when it truly isn’t. Its length reaches down to his neck which he just lets flow down in no particular hairstyle because he finds it tedious to style it, but it seems to fit his attire so in the end everything works out. His eyes take an ocean blue color to them that is hidden by his hair slightly, which does contrast with his attire heavily but because of the way it goes together with his outfit, he refuses to change his outfit to complimentary colors. Other than his eyebrows, obviously the same color as his hair, Kouen lacks facial hair. He does posses body hair, but because of its color and the little amount, it usually goes unnoticed. All together he is about 5’11” and weighs about 159 lbs. Kouen has the common athletic build, along with 6 pack abs, which happens to affect his walk, his walk being with his chest out and head held high giving the appearance that Kouen is always looking to fight somebody, which he is but he isn’t walking like that on purpose, it is just something that happens naturally to him.
Attire/Clothing: Starting from the bottom and going up, Kouen wears a pair of black combat boots which instead of laces, have one pair of straps on both boots. Hidden vaguely underneath the straps are zippers, zipped all the way to the top strap and stopping there leaving the rest of the boot open. Moving higher, Kouen commonly wears pants with the bottom tucked into the opened section of his boots, that is the main reason that his boots are not zipped completely up, it is very rare to see him wearing shorts. These pants rest somewhere in between baggy jeans and relaxed fit jeans as they are clearly neither of them. His favorite color of his pants being a dirty brown, which approaches black, but he has been known to wear other colors but each color being of the dark affinity. These pants actually lack belt loops, not because they weren’t bought with them, rather because the pants fit perfectly around Kouen’s waist to the point that he purposely cut them off. The next thing would usually be the shirt, but Kouen happens to never wear a shirt unless for special occasions and even then it would have to be very special occasions. Just because Kouen doesn’t wear a shirt is not to say that he doesn’t cover his upper body, as he wears long crimson red leather coat. Just like the boots, the coat has two straps, one located around the waist which is on the outside of the coat, while the other is placed across the chest inside the coat. For Kouen, he only ties the strap inside the coat leaving the one outside to move with the wind. On a stylish note, Kouen plays with the sleeves a lot going from having both sleeves rolled up to his elbow, only one sleeve rolled up while the other stays at original length, or both sleeves at original length. Which style he goes with usually depends on his mood, but since he only has those three styles with it, it becomes common. On the back of the coat is a final strap, which is tied, that is used for holding swords, the main type of sword are those resembling medieval swords as they are the only ones that will fit. Finally around on his arms, he wears fingerless motorcycle gloves, with holes where the knuckles are and a bigger hole on the back of the hand. To say the least, Kouen’s style makes him resemble a biker.
Abnormalities: Kouen has a scar on his lower back’s right side close to his spinal cord, actually only a few inches away from it.

Personality: Based on his background Kouen’s most dominant trait would be his love for war or combat all together. At this point he is the type of man to go invade an entire city just for the fun of it and to see if he could and survive. This is not to say that he is unstable because he is actually a quite calm and collected person. Even though him being calm has really nothing to do with his love of combat, it is just that his love of combat is a slight instability within his general personality.

Another noticeable trait other than his love for combat would be his reckless behavior, something that goes very well with his first love. He would literally do or say whatever he wants without caring for the consequences, even though he would prefer not to go that far. At times it would lead him into fights which would give him what he wants at the end of the day.

Being a calm person Kouen is not going to jump into a fight the second he meets a person, rather whenever the conversation would lead to fighting, he would keep it on that topic until a fight starts, with no limits on what he would do to begin the fight. Because of his seemingly lonely life, Kouen doesn’t really do well with large groups and has little trust for others. This is not to say that he cannot get used to other people, but it would have to be done over a period of time and only with the select person rather than just throwing him into a group of people.
Hobbies:
-Not hard to figure out but Kouen’s favorite hobby is to fight.
-Enjoy watching things burn down. It maybe from his past, but Kouen loves to watch things burn.
-Studying different styles of combat to have various options during combat.

Likes:
-Combat of all types (War, fighting, etc)
-Exploring the world
-Hunting in certain circumstances
-Weapons
Dislikes:
-Large groups
-Those who make him result to major methods to fight
-People who need a reason to fight, other than the thrill. He references all of them as annoying.
-Brownnosers
Inspiration: Kouen’s motivation is quite simple. He loves combat, because normal people are unable to give him the thrill he is looking for, he has turned to mages. In order to match those mages he learned magic and is now on his way to new battles.
Fears:
-Dragons
-Going into a state of depression like his mother
-Even though he will not speak of it, Kouen actually fears gaining a family as he thinks they would get slaughtered similar to his tribe.

Augments are optional and not required.

Augment Name: Enhanced Reflexes
Augment Description: Actually not something Kouen was born with rather something that developed after countless battles, but Kouen’s reflexes are higher than most people. This augmentation simply makes reacting to things easier as Kouen can solely rely on his body’s natural reflexes than his fair judgment. Not to say that it is ultimately the best decision but in most cases, his reflexes are the best option.

Augment Name: Eternal Vitality
Augment Description: Something he is very proud of, is his larger amount of energy than others, not magic. Putting it bluntly Kouen has high levels of stamina allowing him to fight continuously for a couple hours before he starts to suffer from exhaustion, if he doesn’t rely on his magic.

History: Kouen simple bought this to have a full pair when using another weapon.

Kouen’s story starts with his parents, not on how they met but how they got the place where Kouen was raised. Both of Kouen’s parents were born in Lost Pinnacles of South Fiore. To skip the formalities, they met one day, started to date, got married and now we are at the current part of the story. Kouen’s father was not the head of the tribe but was the second in command, though his father happened to be the strongest warrior he just didn’t have the brains to back up his brawn. When Kouen was born it was the happiest day of his parent’s lives and just by looking at him they knew he was going to be a great warrior like his father. Over the next four years, Kouen lived a normal babies life playing around with whatever he could get his hands on along with showing off surprisingly high amounts of energy for a person in general. When Kouen was four, not specifically around his birthday, actually a couple of months after his fourth birthday, the dragon that was said to rule the bottom half attacked the tribe.

To say the least it was a massacre, not only were the tribe completely unprepared for the attack but due to some of the hunters being away, the bloodbath couldn’t be stopped. The question of where Kouen was during this is probably arising; he was with his mother with the tribe being attacked by the dragon. His father however was out hunting beasts for the night’s dinner. To make it out of the attack alive, Kouen’s mother took him and jumped down to the bottom half of the pinnacle. The only reason the two survived was due to his mother’s gravity magic but it wasn’t much help considering the attack from the dragon lured all the other creatures towards their location. With the addition of the other creatures, the onslaught seemed worse than it actually was. It is safe to assume that the creatures attacked Kouen and his mother, which they did, the only thing that kept them alive was his mother’s magic which helped them reach Pelistine City. Concerning Kouen’s father, when he and the hunters that were with him returned to the village to see it being attacked by the dragon, they naturally did everything in their power to defend their home. It ended badly, with the death of anybody who foolishly held onto their home.

Back to Kouen, since his mother was accustomed the tribal life style adjusting to this new one took quite the toll on her. The toll mainly came from the fact that she just lost not only her husband but her entire tribe, leaving nothing but her son. It sent her into a great depression in which she started to neglect Kouen as she started to drink. Kouen now had to make a change, the change being him growing up quick. It would have been an easy feat if he didn’t start to get into fights with the local ruffians. Luckily Kouen was from the Lost Pinnacles and had natural fighting abilities, allowing him to take on multiple opponents at once but each battle not without its consequences. A major consequence is during a fight a random person stabbed Kouen in the back, inches away from his spinal cord almost paralyzing. Even though a bad thing, it was a good thing when it came to his family as his mother came to, to treat her son. She had learned some healing magic from the tribe and was able to fully heal Kouen after a couple of months. During his recovery time, he started to study magic under his mother as well as hearing stories of his father’s strength.

Around the age of seven, Kouen was still fighting anybody who dared challenge him but now he was becoming a competent fight. During the time lapse between Kouen getting injured and healed by his mother and him turning seven, his mother fell back into depression to the point that she was mentally killing herself. Kouen was aware of this but pretended not to be for the sake of his mother. Making a fair outlet for his suppression, Kouen began to enjoy battle to the point that it became a craving. At the age of 10 his mother finally died, a critical blow to Kouen as her death, for some reason, caused all the suppressed memories of the dragon attack to come all at once. With his developed crave for combat; the awakened memories warped them a little into a love for war. His first act of “war” was the massacre of those who lived in the poverty stricken sections of Pelistine City. Shortly after the massacre Kouen left Pelistine City and started to explore the world, looking for greater battles. For 3 years Kouen fought all around Fiore and ended up at Mt. Hakobe where met some unknown mage. Unfortunately Kouen fought the mage and lost, not even scratching the mage once. The mage took interest in Kouen, for some reason the mage was able to tell Kouen was from the Lost Pinnacles, and decided to teach him how to use magic.

The training lasted for about 2 years until the mage figured Kouen was at a level good enough to fight with other mages. The training did not come free, the mage gave Kouen a choice, join their guild or die. Having no real intention to die, Kouen was agreed to join and was imprinted with the guild’s tattoo. The mage soon disappeared leaving Kouen to wander Fiore for the next 4 years. Now that is all Kouen is doing, wandering Fiore for the next fight and trying to find if there are any guild members other than himself.

Wow. What a solid application you have here. I'm really looking forward to seeing where you take this character. Hopefully we'll be able to bump paths!


The only thing that I find faulty is:

Augment Name: Eternal Vitality
Augment Description: Something he is very proud of, is his larger amount of energy than others, not magic. Putting it bluntly Kouen has high levels of stamina allowing him to fight continuously for 3 days before he starts to suffer from exhaustion, if he doesn’t rely on his magic. You can have high stamina, but not something quite like this. 3 days without getting tired? No. Not possible. I can give you a few hours of fighting head on without tiring, but not days.
