Endo Kamisato

Endo Kamisato (神里 遠藤 ── Kamisato Endō) is a half-blood human mage, adventurer, soldier and merchant currently affiliated to the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire. Endo was raised somewhere in the wildlands of the Katsura region; he became an expert in the art of trading goods, and also he’s well versed into both magical and martial fields, as he studied and learned about enchantments, potion brewing and diverse fighting techniques that included various knowledges from swordsmanship to warfare tactics since a very young age.

Appereance
Endo is a fit young male of tall height, although being a half-blooded he possesses a vast majority of human-like features, a clear-toned skin and an overall athletic body. He has straight dark-blue hair, being quite long at neck height, small and slanted eyes that seem to vary from dark amber to a bright golden color. Despite his young age he also has many scars scattered all around his body from both stabbing and cutting injuries, mainly suffered during his battles or from when he was traveling around the lands of Eldham.

His major notable characteristic is probably the scar he has on his back, as it seems to assemble the same pattern than the kanji “力” (Chikara ── Japanese for “Power/Might/Will”) that being the reason of why his clothes have that same kanji drawn on them, this scar occupies the entirety of Endo’s back and it always has been there as it is a birthmark.

Besides when using armor Endo appears to always wear the same type of clothes, the majority of the time he wears his blue yukata with black pants and tends to use traditional tight sandals as footwear of preference, but when exploring for long periods of time he may change his clothes main piece of clothing for a thicker jinbei-style kimono.

Personality
Endo has such an intriguing personality, as it has many sides that conforms his behavior, ideals and forms of acting, he’s described as a man with almost an unlimited will-power when it comes to do whatever he qualifies as “right”, in those certain cases he may be serious and dedicated, some people even call him “perfectionist” because of how he looks for an optimal solution when he commits to a particular duty, but otherwise Endo tends to be simple and direct with everything else that is not a priority of his, thus making him a person that can easily find quick solutions to any trouble that gets on the way due to a peculiar mix between his analytical capacities and his lack of interest, this also applies to socializing as he adopts a more relaxed posture towards the most of the people, this also means that even if he just met them, Endo will simply speak sincerely under his standards to anyone regardless of who they are, although he does not want to trespass the barrier of just being plain disrespectful towards other people, it’s just that even if he tries to it is likely that he won’t hold his opinion back even when others could consider it offensive.

When it comes to his overall personality he’s confident yet easy to approach, even if he is too blunt sometimes when speaking with others in a serious manner, he is also kind and even may reach a prankster-like attitude when he’s around people he feels comfortable with or when he just feels like it, at that point his serious facet almost disappears as his uninhibited facet shows up, upon being in this state Endo enjoys joking around and can even reach to the point where he has no taboos, this also includes behaving somewhat promiscuously and joking about his own lewdness, and in some few occasions this relaxed behavior becomes even more intense (mostly when he’s drunk or tired but both scenarios are actually pretty rare to happen yet they still do occur).

As Endo was raised in such a hostile environment he is relentless in combat, even if he doesn’t have any other aftermaths dues to his time surviving and fighting in the wild, he acquired a survival and combat instinct that kept him alive; Endo won’t hesitate to commit murder in order to neutralize threats when he’s in combat, yet it isn’t like he does not have mercy at all, he may let his enemies go away under certain circumstances like if they were a good opponent, or if there is not a real reason to fight until death.

Endo also possesses an incredible control of his negative emotions, he may get annoyed at certain things but he can control emotions like anger and even suppress them at will, yet as every other person he has a limit in his patience that even his training as a mage and warrior can’t prevent him from reaching, Endo’s anger is described and violent as unstoppable as he loses the majority of his analytical capacities to find other answers besides from eradicating what triggered him. Still keeping a major portion of his combat technique and tactics he adopts an more offensive fighting style due to his incapacity to hold back, yet he’s still able to plan his moves and execute them, when interacting with other people during this state he becomes cold and distant even with those who are close to him. If a stranger or someone not that close to him tries to stop him it is likely that Endo could become hostile towards them if they get in the way of his rage.

"A Fallen Star"
Endo Kamisato was born during the very first minutes of a New Year, under the noise of the fireworks exploding in the sky and the stars shining through the black blanket of the night, besides from that, little to nothing is to be known about the first moments of his life. Who were his parents or where exactly he was born remained a mystery, exactly one hour after the New Year celebration, when the fireworks were over, one brilliant unidentified object was seen over the Katsura Region, it was first described as a unusual golden shooting star, yet it didn’t pass by for only a few seconds as shooting stars usually do, but it started to become brighter until suddenly disappearing when passing over a small gunjōnese village making its inhabitants confused and fascinated at the same time, the next morning a retired mercenary that lived in that village went to the nearby forest in order to collect some wood for the elders, but he found something else between two massive wisteria trees, a place where snow melted and revealed the purple flowers that shouldn’t have bloomed at that season, where the grass was soft and green, filled with life during the cold of the winter, without any other explanation he felt warmth all around the zone coming out of that basket, after thinking about it twice, he decided to open it, and it was such a surprise when he found a newborn with a note that had written the last name of this baby, “Kamisato”. Upon finding him, the mercenary won’t hesitate to take the newborn to the village, he brought a branch of the wisteria tree to prove he was not making up his story about a newborn under protected by bloomed flowers during cold temperatures, every single member of the village was intrigued about him as they saw a strange birthmark on his back and his golden eyes, but they finally decided to take care of him, and after a meeting decided to name him “Endo” which literally meant “Far wisteria” as he was found under the cover of those flowers and his origins were unknown.

Childhood and education
During the first years of his childhood Endo was the center of attention of that humble village, its inhabitants saw him as “divine blessing”, although he was not officially adopted by anyone, every single villager took his turn to take care of him, but mainly there was two people who took care and educated him the most, the retired mercenary who found him and a woman who was into witchcraft but gained the trust of everyone because of her medicines and kind nature, he learnt the most of these two.

Endo helped the villagers with many tasks and learnt from many fields from a very young age until he was 15 years old, during that time he never got sick neither got exhausted, instead he seemed to be stronger and healthier than other kids even older than him. When under the protection of the mercenary, who turned out to be a famous war veteran with several battles in his career, Endo was introduced to the martial arts, mainly swordsmanship, Endo had both talent and will to improve, his efforts weren’t in vain as he improved insanely quickly as he was declared to be a prodigy, and also he had another talent that was discovered under the wing of the benevolent witch of the village, he had such a good connection and sensitivity to magical energy that he managed to enchant his first item by accident while just being a 4 years old kid, he studied and managed to both learn and memorize entire books with great detail and was also revealed to conceal a tremendous magical potential within his body, that fact in addition to his mysterious origin started the rumor about him not being a human.
