Kai Aikawa

Kai Aikawa (SparkByPhoenix in-game)


Kai Aikawa is a resident of the Kingdom of Nullaria and sometimes Novareach. Not much is known about his past due to an amnesia he received by an accident on the age of 7. He can be spotted around Uldarash and The Far East.

Background
Kai was born somewhere withinin the middle of the of the Western part of Rathnir, not exactly known where, but it is most speculated to be Aurluner Valende. Nothing much is known about his parents' background except that they had Aurlûnoren background(from some DNA tests he made by himself) and they had died when he was really young. He has no siblings or at least none that he is aware of. At the age of 7 he was wandering around Uldarash when he stumbled upon an ancient relic. As a young and stupid child he picked that relic, which resulted of the young boy being swarmed by dark magic from the artifact and knocking him unconscious, staying in this state for three days until 2 merchants found him. He was brought to a nearby town where a local monk treated him. When he finally woke up, he had some parts of his hair now colored red, his right was red and he now had a mark around his right eye, all due to the magic of the relic. The monk treated him like his own child and after a few years, when he was 13, the monk was teaching Kai martial arts. The monk noticed that the boy possessed some dark powers and waited until the young man turned 15 to teach him how to control them. Unfortunately during one of the training sessions, the dark powers took control over Kai, turning him into a darkin(a fallen warrior from the past who refused to accept death). The monk had tried to put the darkin back into the seal he had put on Kai a year before but instead was killed by the fallen warrior possessing the young male. Kai was fighting the overwhelming power and with some help of the seal he managed to put balance between his own mindset and the rage of the darkin. The boy then rushed to his mentor, trying to stop the bleeding and heal the wounds but it was too late, the monk had lost a lot of blood. Kai's parent-like figure looked him in the eyes and with his last breath he told him to learn to control the dark power sealed within him. The young boy stood there with his now dead mentor in his arms when all of a sudden the citizens of the town came out of their houses and saw what was happening. In their eyes, Kai had killed an important figure in their society so naturally they were starting to get angry, some even had brought swords. Now really scared, Kai made a use some of the dark power, which helped him flee the scene. Even after years, the horrors of this night still haunt him.

Traveling years and arrival in Nullaria
Now being completely alone, Kai had spend his years traveling. He learnt new skills such as hunting, craftsmanship and had taught himself a couple of languages, all that at the age of 16 and 17.

He was used to having to travel constantly and so he always carried a backpack with tools and a tent. One particular visit in Alfheim made him a good impression. It was a city that had a good architecture and friendly people. He wasn't treated like an outcast but was instead welcomed by the locals. Kai couldn't bring himself to stay there for a very long as he had passion for traveling around and exploring different cultures.

One day when he was on another one of his journeys, Kai found himself in Nullarian teritorry, Uldarash. The young male was finally think

ing of residing somewhere after years of traveling. Kai was offered to become a citizen of the capital city of Nul'lari and gladly accepted the offer.

Becoming a citizen of Nullaria
After becoming a citizen of Nullaria, Kai had spent his time there logging and mining at first. He finally felt like he found a place he could call home and was ready to contribute to the state that accepted him. It was there that Kai developed interest in politics and philosophy.

The life with the Darkin
Even after he settled in Nullaria, the fight with the fallen warrior that was sealed within him still continued. Unlike his first attempts to control the power, now that he has some understanding of magic, Kai can now control the darkin 's craving for gore and his tempers. He does that by using another source of powers to chain up an overwhelming amount of the fallen warrior's powers. It took them both a while to develop some sort of bond, which started wth his partner finally sharing his name, Erkhaan. Erkhaan and Kai practiced until very late at night,achieving a Balance Control state of power, now Erkhaan was represented on the left side of Kai's face. Both of them began traveling around Rathnir, collecting the other pieces for to assemble the full state of the relic. It took them a while to do it but it was worth it. After collecting all pieces needed, the broken parts began floating in the air,assembling in the pressence of dark energy, revealing the weapon Erkhaan used in the past, a pretty powerful bow that he called "Mortal Reminder''.

Erkhaan's self consciousness began to weaken and when he noticed that this was happening, he decided to asign his remaining powers to Kai's control and had promised him to watch over him from above. Thus the seal to maintain balance between both states of mind was broken due to it now becoming one. The scars that resembled Erkhaan were gon and Kai's hair color changed, as well as his eye color slightly.

Political involvement
On 16th of November 2021, Kai joined the citizen committee of Nul'lari, a position he applied for a while back. Together with the other members of the committee, he continued the proggress in the city after the mayor there died. On 26th of December Kai was promoted to a Minister of Foreign Affairs of Nullaria, but he also kept his position as a citizen committee member. Once he was promoted to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Kai also established the Diplomatic Corps of Nullaria, sending out a few people on Diplomatic missions.

Traveling to Novareach
Kai began another travel around Rathnir, this time writing about different cultures, religions and political systems. The Far Eastern part of Rathnir caught his interest, especially Novareach. Kai applied for a citizenship there so he could study the social-democratic regime. He also built a pub in the city of Mythoros, expanding his alchohol business.

Kai's Researches
Kai would spend most of his time researching what's the other source of power that's being kept within him. It surely cannot be Erkhaan's as his powers have this very dark aura and the other source has this very calm and light energy. Erkhaan has admitted that the power is completely different and is the one thing that has been keeping the balance. Leaving that aside, Kai was intrigued by the theory of prolonging his life, something he heard by a few people on his journeys. He did write a lot of notes on that subject and even began interfering with the souls who were trying to rest in their afterlife.
