Name: Kalen
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Hometown: Meslit
Appearance: Fit and slender in build, Kalen's body had shifted his hair to an ice white hue. He blames the use of cryomancy, but the locals who know his story urge that his bodies will to survive turned his hair color to blend in with the glacial surroundings. Kalen keeps his hair cut short to not be in his way or obscure his vision. Much to his disdain, he retained his mother's plain brown eyes. Sometimes he wished his body had changed their color, but this could be seen as his only true form of remorse. Typically Kalen will be seen in a basic white shirt with a black zip up hoodie. The hood had been custom made to a length that could envelop his head to protect him further from the harsh weather he frequently endured. Despite living in the wilds alone he has accrued a stunningly low number of scars and marks, mostly due to his quick reflexes and keen sense of impending danger.
History: Kalen comes from a long family line of survivors. His family would go to any lengths to persevere through conditions that they often times placed themselves in. They forgo living in a populated city due to their understanding of how fickle humans can be in their emotions. It made survival too risky. They had a family cabin in the deeper outskirts of Meslit that had been passed down through the ages where they taught their children their techniques for survival. The most unique survival trait passed down is the erasing of the family’s last name. The children only hear their family’s true last name once in their life before it is never repeated and forgotten again. Kalen had been particularly adept at hunting and placing traps as a child. By the age of ten, it was clear that he would make his family proud. However, everything changed when a particularly aggressive ghost Naturelmon destroyed his family’s home. The three of them had escaped, but could not seem to shake the ghost. Kalen’s father had taught him that the easiest way to predict your prey, is to give him something to hunt. Kalen, using his wit, had been placing a deliberate trail for the creature to follow. As it gained on them, Kalen feigned a broken ankle, causing his parents to hesitate for only a single moment in their decision making, long enough for the creature to impale his father with his spikes and grab his mother in one fluid motion. There were many things about that night that he would never forget, but the look on his mother’s face as he stood up and began to ran, is forever etched into his memory. Her eyes swelled with pride, an acknowledgement that he had done well. After months of hiding, he returned to the remains of the family cabin only once more to retrieve his father’s broken dagger, a needless memento but one that he was compelled to go back for.
Personality: After spending nearly fourteen years in isolation, Kalen has rudimentary socialization skills. Acknowledging this, he attempts to socialize whenever possible. He has a deep desire to make friends but often times doesn’t go about it appropriately. He sees very little need in being delicate to sensitive situations, frequently shoving his foot in his mouth as the expression goes. Contrary to his history, Kalen has turned into something of a Robin Hood in his area. He would frequently only take what he needed to survive and give the rest to weary travelers ill-prepared for the journey ahead. He is responsible for the saving of more than a few children, but even this he did so cold and calculating. He is a survivor to the core and puts that above all other relationships.
Relic: His relic takes the form of a sapphire that he had placed into the pommel of his passed father’s shattered hunting dagger that he wears across his waist at all times.
