:'{ so many feels! Accepted. You may post Eos to the char chest. As an update to all. I'm still waiting on the remaining pending chars to finish their CS, but there is no rush. Good things take time, and I want this RP to be magnificent. Thank you all for being so dedicated :) I'm hoping for at least a female char to join the Allegiance before starting an IC. If you know of any friends who would enjoy this, please promote! I've got a ton of work to complete today and lots of student conferences this week, so I might not be around as much. Just a heads up. <3&fluff, jag.

hmmmm any friends, wait i see the problem now, all my friends are completely not interested in this kind of thing....

Name
Kano Frey

Age
Twenty-five

Gender
Male

Allegiance
The Fair Folk

Appearance
Kano is a man possessed of great height and a lithe build, standing at just under 2 meters (6'4") yet weighing no more than 180 pounds. While he is slender for his height, his sinewy muscle lends him great speed and a deceptive strength that has surprised many an opponent who believed themselves his physical superior.

Personality/History
Peace is a word that has never applied to Kano's conflicted mind, and all his life his wants and desires have been raging against each other. As a child, his darker half often won out and led to the instigation of malicious pranks and a combative demeanor that often got him in trouble with his elders, as well as causing harm (sometimes a significant amount) to his peers. While outwardly he displayed no remorse for these misdeeds, a part of him wept with every child his scheming hurt and raged against his vile nature. Eventually, his father saw the conflict within him and took it upon himself to help the young boy gain control of his darker urges, taking him with on his hunting excursions to teach him how to kill without malice and control his desire to harm others. Once he reached manhood, his control was enough that his better nature won out more often than not, and he even had several friends who had found it within themselves to forgive his past misdeeds. His father's tutelage and wisdom allowed his natural humor and wit to manifest in a positive way, laughing with joy at his friends successes rather than with evil glee at their failures, and helping to solve problems rather than scheming to create them.

Kano's darker urges were not gone, however, and with the right provocation they would re-emerge and those who thought they knew the young man would stand unbelieving at the depth of his rage and desire to punish and humiliate those who wronged him. It was one such incident that led to the original manifestation of his power in the black arts, and in the midst of his fury an acrid cloud of pitch black mist began to emanate from the ground on which he stood, spreading rapidly to cover the land around him until it entirely encompassed the small village that was his home. As power flooded through him, the mist drained away the life of all it touched, plants and animals collapsing lifeless in moments while the villagers grew steadily weaker until none could even stand. The air grew cold and even the colors dimmed around him as the village was choked lifeless in the unforgiving grip of his frigid rage. A cruel smile grew on his lips as he watched his new-found power work, and when no life remained the mist vanished as quickly as it had come. Upon returning to his own house and finding the bodies of his parents and sister dead on the floor, the reality and horror of what he had done finally broke through to him. A wail of anguish split the silence as he sank to his knees in front of them, tears falling freely down a face twisted in sorrow and pain. These were the people he loved, and he had slaughtered them without a second thought.

He remained there for two days, unable to eat or sleep and unwilling to move, before a visiting friend found him and took it upon himself to keep the young man alive in spite of his grief. He could not know the truth of what happened, did not know that it was Kano himself who had destroyed the village, and the young man never deigned to tell. He refused to speak a single word for a full year after the incident, and when he finally did speak again, it was simply to thank his friend and say goodbye before setting off on his own.

His travels took him far and wide, across the three kingdoms and even beyond, and it was during these travels that he encountered a group of monks and was led to discover the counter to his dark gift, the ability to utilize white magic. In an effort to better control his darker side, he devoted every waking moment to the study of this new power, quickly growing adept in its use. When the monks finally had no more to teach him, he thanked them for their help and training and set off to return to his homeland, following news of the developing war between the oldest and youngest heirs to the kingdom.

On his way back, he once again visited the village of his birth, and while the bodies were gone and the buildings had begun to crumble, no other living thing had sprung up in the years since his power first manifested. Not a single blade of grass, nor a single earthworm could be found, and simply setting foot on the dead ground tied his stomach in knots and forced a chill into his bones. He wanted nothing more than to turn and run screaming from the horror he had wrought, from the evil that still lingered here, but he pushed forward. He forced himself to take step after step in spite of his growing sense of dread, until finally he stood at the threshold of his home. He stood there for what seemed like hours, but could not make himself step inside. His eyes dropped closed as tears ran down his cheeks, and two small words escaped his lips in a whisper.

"I'm sorry."

Then he turned and walked away, leaving behind the blight he'd created. There was a third heir, the middle child, who had yet to align himself with either side, and it was this man that Kano sought. Perhaps there was a way to end this war without destroying the lives of thousands. He couldn't bring back those he'd drained of life all those years ago, but he could try his utmost to prevent the heirs from falling prey to the same evil natures he had that day.

White Magic
Light and music and warmth and life. The essence of white magic is civilized and positive, encompassing all things inherently beneficial and good. This magic is most often used defensively and in other applications that are not a part of offensive combat, such as creating illusions, defensive shields, and healing the wounds of the injured, and though it is not its primary purpose, it can also be focused into powerful offensive spells. While there are many throughout the three kingdoms willing to teach all of these applications, white magic can only be used offensively if the wielder believes that their actions will primarily benefit others. This magic often manifests as an ethereal mist that seems to glow from within and provides vitality and warmth to those near it.

Black Magic
Darkness and silence and cold and death. The essence of black magic is primal and negative, encompassing all things inherently harmful and evil. This magic, being sinister by nature, has its primary focus on the destruction of one's foes and the domination of their minds. While it can be exceedingly powerful, there are none willing to teach it in the three kingdoms, and as such it is accessed and manipulated on a purely instinctual level by those with malice in their hearts and the talent to harness it. This magic often manifests as an ethereal mist that is devoid of color and blacker than the darkest storm clouds, and seems to drain the warmth and vitality from those near it.

To manipulate both, one must possess an equally divided spirit, craving at once both goodness and evil, life and death, healing and harming, light and darkness. Understandably, this is an exceedingly rare occurrence.

Mystical Skills

Infusion
The ability to infuse one's own body and weapons with the power of white magic for the purposes of combat, increasing the speed and force of blows, the durability and endurance of weapon and fighter, and the perception of the five senses. Outside of combat, this skill can be used to grant Kano vast endurance during strenuous activity or simply refresh his mind and body on long journeys. Kano has also learned to use this skill to replace the need for sleep, instead meditating every night for several hours in order to regain his energy and clarity of thought.

Shielding
The ability to erect defensive barriers of pure white magic, capable of stopping both physical and magical attacks. These barriers can be molded to any shape, and their strength is reliant on the skill and willpower of the wielder. Kano possesses enough skill to stop a single boulder fired from a catapult, but the mental effort required will completely exhaust him and several hours recuperation will be necessary.

Expulsion
The ability to release white magic from one's own body in order to physically affect the world around the wielder. The force generated by this ability can vary greatly, from that of a light breeze to a powerful gust of wind to the howling power of a tornado. Kano possesses sufficient skill with this ability to generate a level of force comparable to a boulder fired from a catapult, though as is the case with his shielding, doing so would leave him mentally exhausted and in need of time to recover.

Healing
The ability to harness white magic in order to heal the wounds of oneself or others. Kano is talented enough with this skill to fully heal any natural disease he contracts or non-fatal injury he sustains, so long as he is allowed enough time to do so. Small cuts, scrapes, or other superficial wounds and non-lethal poisons can be healed in only a matter of moments, while more serious injuries and normally terminal illnesses and fatal poisons can take several minutes to several hours of focus and meditation to heal. When applied to others, he can heal small cuts, scrapes and superficial wounds, cure less aggressive illnesses and neutralize non-lethal poisons in a matter of minutes, while deep or gaping wounds, terminal illnesses, and fatal poisons are beyond his ability.

Illusion
The ability to create non-physical manifestations of pure white magic that can be manipulated to resemble any physical thing. These manifestations can be as complex or simple and as tangible or ethereal as the wielder desires, though for every increase in complexity or tangibility, there is a corresponding increase in difficulty. Kano himself is skilled enough to create nearly any static illusion up to the size of a small village, or up to seven people-sized non-static illusions at once. If creating a tangible illusion, his level of skill limits him to the size of a single house for a static illusion or the size of a single person for a non-static illusion. If deprived of weapons, this ability allows Kano to create tangible replacements, and is often used to create substitute arrows for his bow, though they only last as long as he maintains them.

Black Arts
The ability to manifest the darkest and most vile magics in the known world, stripping others of their possessions, lives, and free will with but a thought. The capabilities of this form of magic are not fully known, but every time it is used the stench of death and evil lingers where it has touched and is almost impossible to erase. Kano has used this power only once, and swore to himself he would never release it again.

Physical Skills

Archery
Due to his training with his father, Kano is an excellent shot with a bow.

Tracking/Stalking
Also due to his father's training, Kano is adept at silently tracking prey through most terrain.

Hand-to-hand Combat
Training with the monks who helped him discover his white magic has made him adept at physical combat.

Staff Combat
Also due to the monks, Kano has become well-versed in the use of the quarterstaff as a weapon.

Traits
Ambidextrous
Excellent Reflexes
Great Agility
Very Observant
