Kai Aikawa

Kai Aikawa (SparkByPhoenix in-game)
Kai Aikawa is a resident in the Kingdom of Nullaria. Not much is known about his past due to an amnesia he received after an accident on the age of 7. He is currently serving as a knight in the city of Nul'lari.

Background
Kai was born somewhere in the middle of the Empire of Uldarash. Altough it is not exactly sure where, it's most likely somewhere around current Sanctuary or Alfheim. Nothing much is known about his parents' background except that they had Aurlûnoren background 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 artifact. Once he touched the relic, the young boy was swarmed by dark magic coming out of the relic and he passed out, staying unconscious 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 unleashed 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. The people there treated him very friendly, unlike all the other territories he had visited before. He wasn't treated like an outcast but was instead welcomed and treated like a citizen there. Sadly he felt uncomfortable staying there for days without doing anything and decided to go on his way once again.

One day when he was on another one of his journeys, Kai found himself in the Kingdom of Nullaria. He thought that he would be attacked when he noticed a guy there and was ready to flee once again. Instead, he was invited in the country and a bit later was toured around by the king himself. It's been a long time since he felt welcomed and this time actually stayed for a bit longer in a country. When being toured by the king, Kai was offered to become a citizen of the capital city of Nul'lari.

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 country that accepted him. During one day, Kai was offered to become a night, an offer which he gladly accepted! It was in Nullaria that he developed an interest towards Philosophy and politics.

The fight 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 control the darkin's craving for gore and his tempers. He does that by meditating outside of Nul'lari and practicing more martial arts, combined with the curse's powers.

Introduction to the Twin Dragon belief
Ever since he was 8 years old, Kai was seeking balance within him. He was introduced to the Twin Dragon religion by the same monk that took him under his wing. The young boy would pray to the Twin Dragons together with his master every night, which is something he does nowadays as well.

Twin Dragon involvement in his life
To provide a balanced state of mind within himself, Kai believes that the religion and its philosophies help him keep his curse under control. He keeps in mind that while order and harmony must be kept at all cost, some senses of legalism should be a norm as well. That's why in order to keep balance, he unleashes the beast within him sometimes during training.

Appearance
Kai has a mostly white hear with some red strokes above his right eyes(Which symbolizes the usage of the darking). His right eye is a red color with some slightly red marks around it and his left eye is light blue. He usually wears a dark gray sweater with two bands( a red and a white one) on his right hand and an orange one representing the flag of Nullaria. In the middle of his shirt there is there is a symbol, representing his belief in the Twin Dragon as well as on the back. He wears black pants with a white stripe on the sides and has black boots.
