Kajeal

Name:Kajeal


Age:19


Faction:Civilian


Weapon: Most any part of his body (Martial Artist / Pugilist)
Due to his extensive martial history and devotion to an ancient art Kajeal is able to concentrate his Kii energy into his attacks, using Materia he has equipped as a type of focal lacryma. With this technique he forfeits the usual path of casting for infusing his body with elemental energy, he can alter the degree of energy used and it allows him to alter his attacks according to the element. With this style of combat he is able to transform his already lethal body into a living weapon, however he sacrifices any ranged attacks that may come naturally to a cast spell.

About
Kajeal stands about 5’11 his body is intensely athletic and covered in numerous scars, badges of battles past and an attestment to his vast history of fighting. Dark raven hair manifests wildly upon his head tied back with a crimson obi headband. Intense, black eyes peer from behind a bright smile even when in battle, it’s easy to tell when this guy is having a blast. Adorned with a vest bearing the symbol of the Seishiro school, and black pants all of which are near tattered but well taken care of. A curious trait is that Kaji is rarely seen with footwear, instead preferring to feel to ground beneath his feet unhindered. This does not bother him on rough terrain either, his intense training has left his feet as with his hands, knees, and elbows calloused and his bones calcified to the point of iron.

Personality
Brazen, hot-headed, and eager to battle Kaji is one to act first and ask questions later. His intensity in battle is hard to rival and he takes great pride in strength and spirit, this is rather evident to any that witness him or have the unfortunate luck to misguidedly challenge him. Kaji’s lust for battle and urge to temper his skills are rivaled only by the sheer size and ferocity of his heart, he is a fiercely loyal and caring individual putting his friends and those around him before anything else and will face impossible odds to see they are safe.

Kaji holds a brilliant natural charisma, his smile is ever present and infectious, and an air of confidence and resilient strength surrounds him. Perhaps too trusting on the fly he displays a childlike innocence and is willing to believe anyone at face value, though is quick to anger once he feels he has been betrayed or deceived. Even amongst all his bravado Kaji rarely ever holds a grudge and is prone to forgive or even defend someone that has caused him great pain.
His numerous battles with all kinds of opponents has given him incredible knowledge, experience, and muscle memory, he can adapt and change strategies immediately and often times with lightning fast response times. Though coming off as simple minded he is a very cunning individual, he thoroughly enjoys meeting people and having new experiences …. but above all else Kaji loves FOOD.
“Kaji” means Wildfire in Wutainese, a befitting name given to him because much like the element he is named for, he is fearless, bright, and refuses to ever give up. Making Kajeal a fearsome opponent or a peerless ally… but in most cases, both.

History
His history is a rough and mostly incomplete story…..

A young Kaji was victim to the hostilities of uprisings in Wutai it is thought that his family were among the Shin-Ra employees when the mob attacked and detonated explosives, the then four year old was found wounded, lost, and crying amidst the debris and smolders. The only identity the child had was a damaged name badge with “Kajeal” Sector designation and birthdate emblazoned above a Shin-Ra Electric company logo, the kindly old Shrine maiden who happened across him saw no other option with the current state of the grounds but to take the child with her.

And so it would be that the young boy accompanied the Maiden named Yuriko across all of Wutai with her monastery company, it was a busy life, and one chocked full of experiences and learning. The Gozo-Doshin monastery was one of tradition and compassion, forsaking a landmark location for a life of roving pilgrimage. They traveled all of Wutai assisting with natural disasters, plagues, and martial aftermaths, all the while demonstrating ancient arts of martial prowess, feats of endurance, education classes, and brilliant artistry. This life of movement gave the young Kajeal the opportunity to train under many different schools throughout the east continent, fueling his fighting spirit and wisdom through many bouts and styles. As he grew into a young adult he was given a rare opportunity albeit at the behest of the ailing Yuriko, to join the Seishiro-Komodao jin School.

This ancient martial school is known by none save a small few, the teachings are unique in that they rely on the emotions of the wielder, using these emotions to fuel and attribute according emphasis on strikes and styles. The grandmaster heeded the words of his old friend Yuriko and upon meeting Kajeal, saw a fire in the boy requesting him to join. It would seem the child’s worldliness had seeded the Seishiro mantra naturally within him. It was his innate determination, bold approach to combat, and fierce loyal nature that awarded him the name “Kaji”.
Carrying on the tradition of the school he spent many, many years wondering Wutai wih the purpose of helping those in need, challenging the strong, forging relationships, and enjoying all that life had to offer (especially the food). Regular visits back home would yield testing, teaching. and sharing stories from those that went on the pilgrimages around the continent.

It was on the eve of his 19th birthday that he was called into the the Gozo yert (a temporary tent structure) to see Yuriko, the reunion faded to a grim yet peaceful goodbye and the elderly woman was succumbing to her age. She wished to see the boy she raised as a son, her “Yūkan'na tora” (Brave Tiger) one last time and to usher unto him a blessing. She told him how proud she was of him that he had grown so strong and kind, with a weak smile she removed her “Obi” and wrapped it around his hand as he held hers. “Promise me Kaji… you will never stop growing, tell me you will always strive to get stronger…. so that nothing will ever remove your spirit.” Tears welling up in both their eyes as smiling still she breathed her last breath.

Softly placing her hands gently over one another he rested them over her chest, then wrapping her Obi around his head a warm surge of serene happiness settled over him and he smiled. Feeling the flames of purpose welling within he wiped away the tears he had shed kissing Yuriko’s forehead. "I promise.... mother."

The next week as by decree of the grandmaster of Seishiro style, those that accomplish all battles, and test are to leave to land and search the world over to hone their skills and learn. It is a mantra that dictates” Battle purges all impurities, only through this will you truly know your opponent, and true knowledge is a weapon and armor in the hands of one enlightened.” With this Kaji bid farewell to the only family he ever knew, a proud moment to be sure and embarked on a quest to West… Adventure, Passion, and intrigue welling in his heart.

Who will he meet?

What battles will he face?

What experiences will he partake in?

Oh man.. what kinds of food exist out there!?
