Name: Rain
Level: 1
Age: 18
Sex: Female
Alignment: Unaligned
Appearance: Rain is a Razorclaw Shifter. She basically resembles a human with tiger features. She has a wide, flat nose, large yellow-green eyes, pointed ears and long sideburns. She has a tail that measures about two feet long. Like others of her race, she likes to move in a crouched posture, springing and leaping along the ground.
Height: 5'6"
Weight: About 130 lbs.
Personality: She's not the smartest student in the class and her way of meeting people is pouncing on them. She thinks of things in terms of hunter and prey and is naturally curious but will exercise caution in areas that "don't feel right." She's a friendly individual who prefers the outside and is wary of closed spaces.
History: Rain never knew her true family and was raised by an elven Seeker alongside her biological daughter. They lived in a forest although Rain often woke up late for lessons. She was always too busy staring up at the sky at night. She knew she wanted to become a Seeker for as long as she could remember and was leaning toward forming a Spiritbond.

On the night of her fifteenth birthday, orcs suddenly appeared and burnt the forest to the ground. Rain's adopted family were killed in front of her eyes. She barely escaped. She returned to find their bodies and out of grief, she made a Bloodbond instead. She received amnesia soon after and began recreating her past. She remembers being a Seeker and having a family but she's certain she's a Spiritbond Seeker who left them to travel out on her own.

However, the voices in her head calling for blood and vengeance are making her think otherwise ...

Personality


Bound to the samurai principals of the bushido yet inheriting his mother's free spirit Takahiro is willing to interpret the letter of the law in unconventional ways so long as the spirit behind them remains intact. The counterpoint between his parent's personalities yet still berry much his own person to upholds the principals of both clans as best he can.

Takahiro loves a good joke and growing up in the country has left him naive in some ways but parallel to the softer side is the stubbornness inherited from both his parents.

history

When a lordless Lion samurai married a Unicorn he because a part of her family and the two retired to a quiet village far from the ever more improbable stories of their adventure that spoiled a plot to infiltrate and overthrow the empire. Having chosen a life away from pressure and wild stories for the child Ryoko carried their conflicting personalities mellowed under the absence of stress and they were able to make a functional family.

Takahiro received wildly different tutelage from each parent, the rigorous and strict instruction from Kiyoshi and the more improvising and flexible bouts with Ryoko eventually were combined into his own distinctive style and he fights as well on foot as he does on horseback.

Even in the country his father made sure to teach him the works of Akodo and would spend hours reading passages to Takahiro and telling him different ways they could be interpreted while Ryoko watched, this continued for the young samurai until his cooing of age.

It was a quiet evening in the Moto household as Takahiro mulled over his decision in him mind, and to his surprise when he announced he was going on a journey with no destination neither parent was shocked. It because apparent they had already discussed it among themselves as they exchanged significant looks and Kiyoshi led Takahiro to a room he had never been into before. On a stand in a place of honor was a Daisho, ancient and revered as a relic for many generations, and now his to bear.

Promising his younger sister he'd return soon with something "exciting and exotic" for her he set off to prove himself in the world.
