Appearance
Despite his mix human-elf heritage, Kenkuroi has more of his father's elfy looks in him compared to his mother's Kemitish origins, so much that those non-elves not familiar with urm... elves, usually make the mistake of thinking Ken is a pure blooded elf, much to Ken's dismay and chagrin (Ken has a thing against elves).
Amongst the elves of Syl'rosya though, many has conclude on how he pretty much resembles his father to the extent they labeled him as a 'younger version of Llorinal', much to Ken's dismay and chagrin (Ken has a thing against his father).
Overall, the young half elf has fair and smooth olive skin (the most significant Kemite trait in him), a petite, lean and un-muscular body frame, and can fairly be described as a 'pretty boy', or more subtly, being 'handsome in a delicate manner', or more accurately, 'effeminate' as some had come to call him, much to Ken's dismay and chagrin (again).
Contradicting with his near androgynous appearance and young age, his voice is surprisingly deep, rough and very masculine.
Characteristics
As a baby, whenever he cried, his rather incompetent mother will stuff a cigarette in his mouth as a pacifier. This routine continued as he grew older plus an upgrade to a lighted cigarette. Now in his mid teens, he is a chronic smoker and has even developed a psychological reaction towards his addiction.
If he doesn’t get to smoke within a few hours he becomes emotionally unstable, constantly overreacting, easily agitated, hot tempered, reckless, restless, anxious etc. For longer periods he will fall into depression. So far his longest record is 12 candlemarks without a smoke. Cigarette in hand, Kenkuroi is much calmer, laid back even, with a constantly bored look on his face though he's hot headed and impatient still. The nicotine overload does seem to have taken its toll for the youth’s health is slowly deteriorating.
Background
Born a bastard child from an 'accident' between
Shouten Hanamiki of the
Shouten Family from
Kirin Clan, a Kemite woman katana expert with an attitude problem, and
Llorinal Mithania, Lord of Moonwillow, the rogue elf of
House Mithania, the half elf lived with his mother until he reached his early teens before being delivered to the Elfhame to live with his father as 'per-contract'… whatever the agreement was.
Secrets :
House Mithania
Formerly the 5th noble House of the Syl'rosian combine.
Llorinal Mithania
Relationship: Father
The third son of Shan'tilarr Mithania and the Lord of Moonwillow Keep. Talented with the harp and a Master of Song, he and his band of Moonwillow elves were regarded as 'Mithanian renegades' since their ideals and lifestyle were the total opposite of House Mithania which at that current time, were driven by warfare and revenge. Flamboyant, carefree, entertaining, he also has a notorious reputation as Silrosia's great lover of women (and men .....or anything beautiful that has two legs).
Good times didn't last forever though, for Mithania fell prey to the twisted Combine politics, unfairly accused for treachery. On the day of the trial, Llorinal was forced to make a cruel decision, join his brothers to be sentenced to death or disown them and save himself and Moonwillow. He chosed the latter but eventually became overwhelmed by emotion and guilt. He currently still resides in Moonwillow, depressed, broken and drowning himself in alcohol, no longer the joyful and enigmatic man he once was.
Shouten clan
Sub clan of Kirin R’tol. Details yet to be known.
Shouten Hanamiki
Relationship: Mother
A Kemite woman who devoted her life to 'the way of the sword'. A katana master, extremely skilled in dual wielding katanas, has a reputed signature move; Iaijutsu or better known as the invisible katanas (a drawing move so fast, it appears as if the swords never existed). She left the clan when of age to further refine her skills as a sword-saint by seeking to duel stronger opponents. Hot tempered, brash, arrogant and proud, she had her pride and honor pricked finally, not by a stronger opponent but by an elf lord casanova, when visiting Silrosia to duel with Mithania's strongest.
Considering it dishonorable to abandon both responsibilities and a defenseless infant, she became an unwilling mother, not before ensuring the child would not be fatherless (an agreement was reached between she and Llorinal, using brute force as necessary and benefitting her style). She proved to be a terrible, terrible mother void of any motherly, and womanly instincts.
Gradually over the eras, despite the initial hatred towards this unplanned addition to her life, she developed a rather unique but close mother-son relationship more akin to that of a sister-brother type. They constantly argued, even over the pettiest of things (such as the last piece of meat on the plate), carelessly throwing the foulest of obscenities. And it became much of their daily activity to get into physical fist fights, with her always taking the opportunity to goad her son's inherited hot temper into action. Of course her son was never a match for her battle prowess.
Though it seemed or sounded like abuse, the boy did not really suffer and was well taken care off. She pampered him with food, alcohol, tobacco, toys, pets, books, anything the boy wanted (usually after a good beating up), and protected him from danger and harm, especially those related to her dangerous and reckless lifestyle. Never had she included him in any of her endeavours, refusing even to teach him the art of the katana. If one is wondering about their physical fights, they were all merely mock fights or play wrestling, where she had carefully restrained from breaking any bones or splitting any flesh. There were bruises of course, but in her perspective, those were good lessons to teach the Shouten Creed; Strength and Honor is Everything, as well as make a man out of her elvish-effeminate looking son (which annoyed her greatly as he grew older and remained pretty).
Even with a son, she had refused to give up her ambition to achieve katana perfectionism. They travelled the Empire, after having settled in a city, always she left her son alone or in the care of others for quite a period of time as she went away 'for business' (what she does exactly was never explained). Despite their decent relationship, it was made clear from the beginning, she was never meant to be a mother and he was plainly just a burden to her, and therefore, one fateful day, she 'returned' him to his father and promptly disappeared from her son's life.
No doubt she had gone to further pursue her ambition, wandering the road, continuing to challenge herself, continuing to push her limits, until she finally meets her match, or until age betrays her to lesser opponents. Either way it will be a true warrior's end indeed.
