III. PERSONALITY
Personality: Kane's personality is quite calm and cool as he likes usually likes to keep his wits about him, but he is actually fairly cheerful and confident on life. He may not like to actually say it, but he cares for most humans and wishes that they could all not be the same as his brother who was taken by evil. He feels that what he has done in the past has made him feel that he needs to pay them back, so that is why he wants to help people as best as he can.
Kane has a good outlook on life and enjoys to have fun, make jokes, and party, will always keeping sure not to let his guard down to much as he doesn't want to die without his final goal being complete. Kane's main hobby is drawing, it is one of his most notable talents and is often draws when he is in a bad mood or when he is really feeling the muse, which is also where he got his magic from. Often Kane can get quite hotheaded when people mock his reasoning's or things that he enjoys. He has high loyalty to his friends, but will always be a bit cautious at times, as not to be played the same like his brother did to him. Kane is rather straight-froward and likes to get straight to the point, even if it kinda hurts others feelings, but if he feels they need to know he will instantly say it.
Kane isn't the type of person you see just walk up to someone and start a conversation, if they don't have anything to do with him he will often try to walk away as if they weren't there. As he is branded as a criminal he is often cautious to his surroundings and the people he talks to.

Kane hates to see or have to kill people, as just like him they could also be waving something over there souls that now cannot be atoned for. Ever since he was a child, he has often grown opinions of people from there appearance before getting to know them, which usually decides how he acts or seems around them. One thing Kane isn't very knowledgeable with is woman, he was never really been around girls or other children as a child he tends to get caught up in there appearance and often gets him accused of being a pervert. He is fairly confident in his art and fighting abilities and has a very clean and precise way of doing so he can accurately see what he is doing.

Fears:
- Getting taken over by darkness, like his brother
- Dying before he can accomplish his main goal of ending all dark guilds
Positive Traits:
- Acrobatic (+3):You have excellent body awareness and coordination.
- Fortitude (+3):You are tougher than normal. You can take more hits than the regular Joe.
- Stealthy (+3):You are particularly good at avoiding notice. You could be sitting somewhere in a thread at a bar and people wouldn't even notice that you were there.
- Zealot (+4):This person has trained themselves to wield a specific type of weapon. This weapon can be mentioned behind the Zealot feat within brackets to claim it upon approval.
Negative Traits:
- Bad Reputation (-1):You have a reputation that angers or frightens people. Examples include being unlucky, petty, or cruel. The rep may or may not be accurate, but in either case, word travels faster than you do. Because Of Kane's past, he has a reputation of a criminal and is wanted by the magic council.
- Branded (-2):You have fled for a crime committed and now have a prominent brand. You may have been a criminal, a slave, or some other such illicit individual. The brand is such that it cannot be easily covered, and a cursory search reveals it each time. Law enforcement agents of any lawful land will immediately take you into custody if they see the mark, for extradition or imprisonment. It is your choice as to whether or not you were falsely accused of the crime.
- Cautious (-1):You are uneasy engaging in behavior that carries a chance of failure. You must spend twice as long performing any skill that requires an action. For example, deciphering a page of text would take 2 minutes for you instead of 1.
- Curiosity (-1):You're a naturally curious person and you find mysteries of any sort irresistible. In most circumstances, alas, your curiosity overrides your common sense.
This forces you to investigate something unusual, even if it looks like it might be dangerous.
- Daredevil (-2):You only really feel alive when you're staring death in the face. Your character is addicted to the thrill of death-defying stunts, pushing himself to the limit at every available opportunity.
- Indecisive (-1):You have been known to hesitate when faced with difficult choices or split-second decisions. If forced to choose between letting a villain escape and rescuing a loved one from being lowered into a snake pit, you're likely to agonize over the situation until something--perhaps a cry for help from your sweetheart--forces your hand.
- Inattentive (-1):Your mind has a habit of drifting off at inopportune moments. It flits from one thought to the next so fast that you have trouble getting it to concentrate on the here and now. As such, you are particularly unaware of your surroundings.
- Judgmental (-1):You form opinions quickly and change them very slowly. You also have a tendency to judge people on their appearance. A man dressed as a pirate, no matter how gentlemanly, is a scoundrel and a dog as far as you is concerned. A man covered in mud is a peasant, and a woman wearing revealing clothing is a prostitute.
- Misfortunate (-1):Lucky breaks are something that happen to other people. Your luck isn't terrible; you wouldn't have survived as long as you have if it were. It just isn't very good. Look at it this way: if you need some blind luck to get you out of a sticky situation, expect to be sticking around for a while
- Merciful (-1):For a villain, you have a terrible weakness--you don't like to hurt people. Given the choice, you'd rather exile your deposed brother to another country than do him in. Whether this is because you want him to live knowing that you beat him, or whether you just have a small soft spot down in your heart somewhere, the result is the same: your enemies keep coming back again and again.
- Star-Crossed (-1):You keep falling in love with the wrong people. You're the common soldier who falls in love with the king's daughter at first sight, or the hero who falls for the villain's daughter without knowing who she is.
- Reckless (-1):You lack the emotion of fear. Unfortunately, it is often an important cue that keeps men from doing foolhardy things. Sure, you don't flinch at the sight of even the most hideous monster, but neither do you feel the need to run away when outclassed.
IV. MAGIC
Magic: Art Magic
Caster or Holder: Holder
Description: Art magic is a type of holder magic that uses art drawn with a paintbrush or pen, to grow them to life-size, and come to life, acting according to the user's will. The art can be used for offensive as creating warriors and beasts to fight for you, defensive as making barriers, and supplementary uses, along even outside of battle. The art made by the user has the original strengths and weaknesses of what the user drew, so if the user creates a large beast it will be strong but quite slow.
Strengths: A main strength about this magic is its versatile, being able to use a larger variety of spells that can be used compared to other wizards. Another strength is that it has no real elemental weaknesses, except for the weaknesses of the art the user created. As the user gets stronger, the more the size, quantity, and time the user can release, also with depending on the speed and quality of the drawing the user can use that to there advantage to create them faster and more detailed.
Weaknesses: To use this magic the user either must been very skilled in drawing to be able to draw on the move, under pressure, or from long distances. Since it is not necessarily exact replicas, they are a bit weaker then the real things, as they are easier to take down. If you aren't able to draw anything as, you don't have a brush or pen and something to draw on, the magic is practically useless.
V. HISTORY
History: Kane was born into a nice family in a village with his mother father and an older brother, Shuuya whom was four years older then him. There village had few kids so Kane and Shuuya spent most of there time playing with each other, which grew there bonds quickly to where they were best friends. There mother was a nurse in the village while there father worked as a mage, specializing in a type of magic that turned inanimate objects to life. Both parents loved and cherished there two boys and they did the same. By the age of seven Kane grew really interested in Shuuya as he began to start training to get stronger. Kane wanted to be like him and always tried with him but Kane wasn't very good, even so he would watch Shuuya train. While growing up Kane grew a hobby of art when he saw a woman creating a beautiful mountain scenery with a starry sky as the background, though Shuuya mocked him a bit about it, which made him a bit angry. Kane began drawing soon after that and had a real knack for it. His first drawing was of a mystic bird called a griffin, he had heard of with the body of a lion, he was very excited of how it came out and went to show his parents, as his father was able to turn objects to life, he wanted his father to make this bird real. His father tried but he couldn't and he decided he wished to learn magic to turn his art to life. Shuuya wasn't as interested in magic at the time or art as well which his father began to train Kane in. Which is when the two brothers began to become distant, Kane still looked up to his big brother, but Kane was taking the attention of his parents which lead Shuuya to become more distant to them.
Kane continued his artwork and practicing on magic for a few years until he was at the age of ten. By that time he was able to make small images he drew come to life with his fathers help, while Shuuya had began to go on adventures and do things on his own. Recently Shuuya had become to go away for a day or two before coming back home, his parents began to wonder and worry but Shuuya wouldn't say what it was about, which lead to an argument that lead Shuuya to angrily exit. The two parents went to discuss elsewhere and Kane sat awkwardly still thinking about what happened.
A couple days had past and Shuuya had not returned home, Kane began to grow worried so he went out looking for him while his parents where at work. He searched the entire village and a bit out of it, but to no avail. He was about a half mile away from his village before he began to see a large smoke cloud form off in the distance. He was puzzled at what they could be doing and began to worry so he began running towards the village. As he got closer he began to see the tip of dark flames appear and grow as he got closer until he had the village in sight. He couldn't believe what he was seeing, building in peculiar flames, blood and dead bodies, and few screams of the survivors meeting the same fate as the others. Kane wasn't sure what to do as tears grew in his eyes, he then thought about his family and pushed through, dodging flames and trying not to focus on the people around him. His house was not that far off but in no better shape the the others it wasn't in flames but smashed with holes nearly falling. He went inside letting out a cough every so often as he saw his parents both on the floor in there own blood. His tears grew until they fell from his face he bent down next to them and hugged as he heard loud crashes outside. He quickly rushed to get somethings from his house and said goodbye to his parents. He ran as fast as he could from the village until he was far enough away from the fire to stop, with the only items on him were a picture of there family, a few of his art supplies and a small ration of food. He lied on the ground and looked up at the sky not knowing what to do, as he heard a someone approaching and rolled over still frightened. Shuuya appeared as Kane ran to him hugging him and telling him about the village, but Shuuya already knew. Kane asked Shuuya what should they do as he smiled and said we can do as we please. With that Kane started to cry some more on Shuuya, the two left the land.
From then on Shuuya showed Kane what he would do on his own and how to survive by teaching him to fishing and fight. Kane was fairly bad at both of those things and would often stop and draw what he saw around still working on his magic, which didn't make Shuuya happy. As there journey continued they reached a town. This is when the two boys began there walk to evil. They needed a way to get money, so Shuuya made the decisions and Kane followed not noticing his descent to evil. Shuuya began getting them jobs to hunt people down and getting rid of them, along with stealing items as such while in the the shadows. Kane thought what he was doing was right as Shuuya told him that was what they were doing, so he did his best to assist Shuuya.
By the age of seventeen Kane finally accomplished his magic of being able to make his art come to life, Shuuya grew aware and started to use Kane more. With all of these dark deeds made the magic council began to be aware of the two and they were branded criminals, Kane was unaware of this situation, but it didn't stop Shuuya from acting the same. But then came the day while they were doing a big job for a hefty pay the Rune Knights had found them and they were got surrounded by a group of them. Kane didn't understand why they wanted to take them in, but Shuuya yelled to fight them. Kane didn't understand but they were closing in. Kane quickly grabbed out his art book and went to the first page of the bird and called it to life. it began to fly and pounce on the Knights, Kane and Shuuya both fought. After they were all knocked out the bird disappeared, Kane and Shuuya quickly escaped as they heard more approaching.
After Kane felt safe enough to stop he did and stared at Shuuya angrily as he stopped as well. He asked what he was doing and Kane asked why they are after them and whats going on. Shuuya grinned and laughed as he began to explain. "This entire time that we have been doing this we have been doing criminal acts to survive, I have just been using you ever since we left home to further advance myself and this here." He said as he moved the collar of his shirt and there was a purple marking. "This is a mark of the guild Phantom Lord and I have been working for them since the village got destroyed, I got to join them for that reason." Kane was extremely confused but asked what was the reason. His response was that he and his guild were the ones destroyed there village and now that Kane wasn't needed and he was going to die now. Kane shook his head in anger as he yelled at Shuuya, "how could you do that to our family, our village, and even me!" Shuuya continued to laugh as he said "Only somethings in life are important, those things are money, power, and vary few other things that you all weren't giving me, they didn't even care about me! it was Kane this and Kane that... It felt so great to destroy it all and now finally you." Kane yelled "How could you do that I looked up to you! You aren't supposed to be like this!" and he ran at Shuuya and tackled him to the ground as he sat on top of him and began to punch him as Shuuya looked up smirking, until Shuuya clenched his fist and landed a hit to the side of Kane's face. As he clenched his burned cheek, Shuuya got up and walked towards Kane. Kane quickly began to move back and he grabbed out his art book and paintbrush. Shuuya grew an angry look saying "You and your stupid art... i'm tired of you!" He said as he reached for his back and grabbed a katana and pointed it toward him. Kane nervously continued as fast as he could until he could feel Shuuya in front of him, with the blade next to his neck with dark flames coming from it, Kane looked up and saw a face that truly frightened him. He lifted his brush from the paper and Kane yelled for the griffin to appear and the mystical bird came from the paper pushing Shuuya back, as the sword sliced a bit of Kane's neck as blood trickled down. Shuuya tried to block it with the katana, but it was to strong and slammed Shuuya into a tree with its claws in his chest. The griffin disappeared and Shuuya slid down the tree till he was on the floor as, Kane got up slowly grabbing his neck and stared at Shuuya as he got up and walked slowly towards him with his sword in hand. "So you did it, you really beat your big brother. I still remember those times as kids when we would always play together." Kane began to back away as Shuuya got closer, until he reached a tree trunk. "I'm sorry things ended up this way, I wish my heart wouldn't have been tempted by that man, but I can't change the past... Even with all that said, I could never have killed you even with the darkness I never stopped loving you..." As he got in front of Kane, he fell forward and landed on his chest and wrapped his hands around Kane with both of them tearing up. "Don't be tempted like me... Goodbye Little brother." He handed Kane the katana and with that he fell to the ground as Kane fell to his knees. "Brother, I will take your final wish to heart, goodbye." Kane took his words in deep consideration then heard the Rune Knights coming closer, he took the katana and to honor his brother, he took his name and took it for his surname, saying Kane Kosuda is no more. He then fled and began to live his knew life with a new purpose to assist others like his brother.
He was now nearing 21 and after years of hiding in the shadows from the magic council while also having his goal of turning those to evil to good and assisting those in need. He and his brothers name still circled around from time to time but they had nearly been forgotten. Until a man approached him one day saying that he Knew who Kane was and What he had done in the past and asked if he wanted to assist him in in helping those with evil inside them. Kane was quite skeptical until he heard more of this man's words about how he was also had done evil deeds in the past and now wishes to make up for them. Kane agreed to assist this man to also make up for he and his brothers wrong doings and followed the man, Aiden Lost and join his guild called Crime Sorciere.
