Endo Kamisato

Biographical Information Physical Description Meta Information Endo Kamisato (神里 遠藤 ── Kamisato Endō), also known as Endo Adan, is a half-blood Kaszatti mage, diplomat, general and merchant 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 in 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.

Appearance
Endo is a fit young male of tall height; although being half-blooded, he possesses a vast majority of human-like features, clear-toned skin, and an overall athletic body. He has straight dark hair that also is somewhat short 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 stabbing and cutting injuries, mainly suffered during his battles or 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 as the kanji “力” (Chikara ── Japanese for “Power/Might/Will”) that being the reason why his clothes have that same kanji drawn on them, this scar occupies the entirety of Endo’s back. It has always been there as it is a birthmark.

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

During war times or in some rare formal occasions, Endo wears traditional light armour, mostly based on the Katsura Region cultures; his armour has numerous diamond reinforced metal plates forming protective guards along his chest, back, shoulders, waist, thighs, and arms; he also replaces his normal footwear with a leather hardened armoured version of his sandals. Yet, Endo refuses to use a helmet or protective gloves. Besides his main armour pieces, he doesn’t wear any other form of protective equipment, instead, he wears casual clothing behind his armour.

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 laid back and carefree individual that can easily find quick solutions to any trouble that gets on the way due to a peculiar combination 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 murder 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 excellent control of his negative emotions, and he may get annoyed at certain things; Still, he can control emotions like anger and even suppress them at will. Yet, like 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 as violent and unstoppable as he loses most of his analytical capacities to find other answers besides eradicating what triggered him. Still keeping a significant portion of his combat technique and tactics, he adopts a 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 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.

The birth of 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 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 among the villagers, they 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, 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.

The Dark Odyssey
Even after years of studying and researching an immeasurable quantity of books, Endo couldn’t find anything related to his origins, this clearly annoyed him, although the villagers were like family to him and he knew that it was really unlikely to find anything related to his parents in a small town, he really wanted to know more about the Kamisato family, find where he came from, know about his race and maybe discover how he ended up in the middle nowhere; this martyrdom of researching in the village’s old library lasted for years.

Endo spent his entire childhood in that village, it seemed like even though he did not have a family, he still was going to have a good life due to his charisma and productivity, sadly the village’s witch got sick when Endo was 7 years old, she taught him advanced magical concepts but finally passed away due to her illness one year after, he still lived in the village until he was 10 years old, a day before his tenth birthday he ceased his research in order to get some sleep and prepare himself for his the New Year festival that was being prepared by the villagers, little did he know that tragedy would strike down to end his pacific life.

The village was filled with happiness and hope for another good year of success and abundance, once again the fireworks filled and lighted up the sky, since there was another reason to celebrate that day: Endo’s birthday, after a great event he felt somnolent and decided to sleep while the adults remain awake to party and drink, a couple of hours later he woke up to the smell of burnt flesh and smoke, confused he got out of his cabinet to find out what was going on, his golden eyes opened up in a mixture of despair and fear while he was horrified: there were dead bodies everywhere, fire arrows embedded on the houses while their roofs were burning down and the deafening screams of children and women coming from the depths of the forest.

After recognizing the villagers bodies he got traumatized, the people that always were so kind and friendly to him were now dead, he decided to look out for any survivors, and finally found two siblings in the middle of the chaos: a young kid with his little sister, the brother took her hand and they started to run towards Endo, and so he did as well, but before he could even reach them a rain of arrows brutally killed both of the children in front of Endo, they were unlaid upon the mud of the ground, Endo fell on his knees and saw six bandits that also noticed him; Endo couldn’t do nothing, he was in a total shock and his body did not answer, he wasn’t even able to get on his feet, the bandits aimed at him, and almost all hope was lost, but a miracle occurred, the retired swordsman jumped out of the bushes and single handedly took out all bandits with his iron sabre, he looked over his shoulder noticing Endo, yet when he was about to approach him an arrow was shot into his calve, he yelled at Endo, telling him to run away. Endo woke up from his shock state and got up, he tried to somehow help the mercenary, yet he took two arrows more this time to his back, coughing blood it was obvious that there were many more bandits, dozens of them hiding in the trees and shooting the swordsman with their crossbows. Endo cried in pain as he saw one of the few people he knew slowly dying, but finally his will allowed him to do what he was told and he started to run away just before 20 arrows or so finally ended up killing the mercenary who collapsed in the ground, Endo was being persecuted by the bandits, the arrows were hitting the trees as he fled the scene, being that traumatic event the start of his dark odyssey.

Endo got lost in the wildlands, yet from the life in the village he already knew the basics of survival, days passed by, he survived with the food he could recollect or hunt down, he returned to his village to bury every single member one by one and finally paid respects, he was broken at first, even started to complain about just dying to the cold or to some wild bear, but finally his misery was interrupted when one lonely bandit tried to rob a malnourished Kamisato, he did not answer or even react at first, after all he lost every single person he knew, yet something in the bottom of his heart made him say no to the idea of accepting death; although he was desperate, he did not lose his hope, it was like his own will power just didn’t want to give up, he needed answers to his own origins and now he had another reason to live: to avenge the deaths of the ones who loved him; with this in mind, his eyes shone once more as he wielded a hidden dagger that he had picked up to stab his attacker right on his torso, they fell to the ground but the attacker was still struggling and trying to push Endo away, he got on top of the bandit and repeatedly stabbed him until he finally stopped moving, a couple seconds later Endo realized that he took a life with his hands for the very first time, yet, he did not feel any remorse, he understood that it was either the bandit’s life or his own, so he made a choice.

Two years passed by, Endo started to hunt some animals and sold them to other villages, as he had collected the loot of his village and recovered what was left in order to survive. The group of bandits that attacked his village was well-known not because of their skill but because of their numbers, messing with them was dangerous, but Endo was filled now with anger, just pure and absolute anger that created a wish of vengeance that was burning like a flame that couldn’t be extinguished. When the day finally came, he track down the bandits; he had everything prepared, Endo decided to first wait until night to then set their campsite on fire just like they did with his village, many people in that group got caught in the fire and died on the most painful way while they screamed in extreme pain, then he went on a killing spree, using the mercenary's sabre he rushed in and started killing every single bandit one by one in the middle of the chaos, Endo physical abilities were certainly superior which was actually rare because of his very young age, but this only proved what he was capable of, and also made clear that he was not a ordinary human being, instead he was repeatedly called a monster by his victims; after the attack was finally over, Endo have killed 24 bandits with his blade and other 45 died due to the fire he started, leaving no survivors whatsoever. As rain started pouring Endo took a second to look at the grotesque scene, he was covered in blood and surrounded by the smell of burnt human flesh, but he wasn’t even affected by what he did or had any remorse at all, Endo just looked at the sky as the raindrops extinguished the fire and cleaned his face from the crimson liquid that covered him, after a while his silhouette simply disappeared among the trees of the forest once again before anyone else could find the scene; although he had no mercy or compassion, Endo knew that the souls of the people that raised him could finally rest in peace, and that was fair enough for him.

Swords, Books & Warbands
After accomplishing his vengeance, Endo decided to live in the wild for 4 years, he often encountered bandits when he was travelling in the steppes or wild beasts when camping in the winter forests so danger became a quintessential part of Endo’s environment; yet, he overcame every single obstacle on his way thus developing his innate survival and fighting instincts. As Endo’s childhood ended when he was 10 years old, he was forced to quickly mature in order to stay alive; he understood that there was evil all around the world, people that were capable of committing such horrendous acts like the genocide of his village, and so the wish to never let that happen once again encouraged Endo to get stronger in order to survive the dangers of the wildlands and protect what was precious to him.

When he reached the sixteenth year of his life he finally “returned” to civilization, yet he was not wild, instead Endo actually had matured since he spent that time meditating and reflecting, and so he started to look for any jobs available to him, Endo decided to travel all around Eldham to find a way of make a living there, mainly he committed to the job of a mercenary since all he knew was fighting, he did not have an easy life, during that time he would most likely end up sleeping in the mountains or in some dirty barracks, fighting without a purpose was something that he would usually do, yet he still had in mind to investigate and try find answers to his questions, these hardships made Endo a man with a strong will, even if he was in misery he still kept going forward, and without even noticing Endo was already 20 years old; as a mercenary he was mainly contracted by merchants to protect their products, so he learnt the art of trading due to traveling alongside with them, besides trading Endo also studied many sciences during his travels, and finally after 4 years of wandering as a hired blade Endo decided to start planning on what to do with his life.

Endo realized that he could use his knowledge to start a life as a standalone merchant, and so he did, he arrived to the nation of Tortuga, and stayed there for a little bit but quickly decided to quit after he discovered that they were also raiders and pirates, thus making the nation not compatible with what he thought it was right.

He started to wander Eldham’s lands once more, travelling from one frontier to another, but finally encountered a place, and that was because of a single person: After walking for several kilometers in one of his journeys he found an enormous mansion in the middle of the territory of the A.W.E. and he also encountered the owner of that mansion, Vik Leyla-Earcala, he and Endo managed to have a conversation despite of their abrupt meeting, Vik revealed his position as a High Council in the A.W.E. nation and directly invited Endo to join their forces, he even offered him a house in any town of his choice for free, and after not-so long consideration Endo finally accepted the offer and joined the empire.

Endo decided to move to the remote province of Bostadia, a snowy region covered in ice, the main reason of his choice was that he didn’t feel that it was correct to ask for a house in one of the major cities since he was not paying for the propertie, after traveling a little further he finally arrived at the little town that was also the regional capital and shared the same name with the province, Bostadia; as promised Endo was given a small cabin and he met Lafonze Adan who was the major of the town, soon after they became very good friends as well and as Endo was in gratitude with the A.W.E., especially with Vik and Lafonze, he decided to use his talents to provide the police force with large amounts of potions as he was allowed to expand his home and make it his own workplace.

Blood and Glory
Endo was dragged into war after his second day of officially being a citizen of the empire, but this time it was in order to fight for the nation that accepted him and offered him a chance, so he accepted without any doubts as he was already used to combat. Endo played a minor role in the war against Skjondolfor as one of the many soldiers under the command of the Triple Entente coalition, he was one of the soldiers that persecuted the fleeing forces after the main assault; during the battle he separated from his group and encountered two enemy soldiers armed with their enchanted diamond armor and despite having a low tier armor and being armed with only a barely enchanted sword Endo managed to kill the two enemy soldiers that engaged him at the same time thanks to his axe and the potions he had made before the battle, but that was the last of his participation in the battle.

Days later, Endo Kamisato decided to travel around the territory of the A.W.E., and after a visit to the city of Steigenhaven he met another important person in the nation, Oscar Draekar, who was the major general of the military forces, after that Endo became his swordsmanship student and practiced with the general Oscar for hours, not being able to defeat him even once in their sparrings, he also was advised about the strongest fighters in all of Eldham, and as he got inspired by the strength of his new master and the idea of one day being able to defend himself against the most skilled warriors, Kamisato decided to have a training regimen for some time in order to improve.

The end of Hell and a new Horizon
A month later, Kamisato kept providing potions to the police force and started to enjoy travelling all around the cities next to Bostadia, he started to gain some trust in the nation as he met plenty of people like Bohhy Von Kirknell, Astapf, Emerson Draekar, etcetera.

Yet this period of post-war peace came to an end when an strange portal appeared and demons started a continental scale invasion against entire Eldham, as these evil creatures escaped from hell and started to cause chaos, Endo was one that stood up to protect his nation among the dozens of Eldhamites that decided to stop the invasion all around Eldham, he fought alongside his comrades and even the Grand Falcon himself, they were eight men yet together they protected their nation and wiped out the hordes of hundreds of monsters and powerful creatures, during the monsters’ assaults they decided to move to the city of Aktala in order to protect it, but suddenly a portal opened in the middle of the city as one of most dangerous creatures appeared, a Wither, alongside a final great horde of monsters, but even after spending four hours of nonstop fighting Endo and his comrades faced this last threat and managed to slay the Wither and obliterate the rest of the monsters, succeeding in protecting their nation as the invasion was finally over.

When the sun rose in the horizon Endo and Lafonze were back home in Bostadia, yet something bizarre was about to happen: Sir Bohhy decided to go to Bostadia as well, his visit was unexpected and without any warning he started to collect the ice of the surroundings carving some obscene figures within Bostadia’s iced rivers and lake, Kamisato could not tolerate this and went up to him since Lafonze also was concerned, but before he could say anything Sir Bohhy took his sword out of its sheath and tried to attack Kamisato so he could keep collecting the ice but Kamisato managed to dodge it, that’s how they started a friendly duel in front of Lafonze; but because of Endo’s confusion, due to how bizarre the situation was, he wasn’t that convinced to fight him at first, but Lafonze told him that if he managed to win he would give Kamisato the title of “Guardian of Bostadia”, so he got a hyped and now without any hesitation rushed towards Sir Bohhy who tried to make Kamisato fall into the cold ice water by destroying the floor with his pickaxe, but Kamisato’s superior agility allowed him to jump over the holes, dodge his attacks and counterattack with his sword slashing his opponent multiple times to the point that Sir Bohhy tried to run away because of how overwhelming his attacks were, only to be finished with an arrow from Kamisato’s bow giving him his first victory in a “official” duel.

After the duel was over, Endo Kamisato was contacted by his comrades once again in order to get some well deserved drinks after all the recent events. After hanging out with Lafonze, Sir Bohhy and Vik in a tavern, Endo told them his own history and how he ended up with them, he was still always helping the nation with all he could do, until that point he still considered himself as a simple “soldier, citizen and merchant of the A.W.E. that lives in a small village”; hours later, Lafonze told him how much of a good comrade he was, and also how good of a friend he was, since they helped each other in every conflict and situation that showed up, finally Lafonze revealed that his family, the Adan family, was actually the Royal Family of the empire, and he did the unthinkable and offered Endo to adopt him as his brother and become a royal, since Endo grow up without a family and was raised in the most hostile lands he did not know how to answer properly, but finally accepted as Lafonze told him that he was worth of becoming a member of his family because he was the person he trust the most, they sealed the contract with a firm handshake between himself and his new brother, and so, Kamisato adopted a second name, Endo Adan.

The first step in a long journey
The first days with his noble status weren’t that much different from before, Kamisato kept working in Bostadia to now produce his own supply of potions and spells in order to be ready for battle; yet, somehow the almost abandoned town started to gain more and more recruits. Every single time Kamisato woke up and got out of his cabin Lafonze already had a new member to include in the town, and so Bostadia started to have more houses and more overall activity, which also meant that now he had to look out and protect the new civilians from both the dangers of the wild and possibly banditry going around.

Kamisato started a more intense training regimen, climbing the nearby mountains and even swimming the entire ocean that separated the Bostad province and the Steigen province; as result he felt how his body was becoming stronger with every single day that passed, but he knew that even if he already participated in numerous battles he needed to fight even more in order to hone his combat techniques, so he decided to explore the rest of Eldham in order to accomplish his new goal: become stronger.

After the new citizens got better gear and established themselves, Endo Kamisato left Bostadia for a certain period of time, trusting in his brother to also protect the town. He travelled for kilometers and across entire continents, Endo discovered many incredible places such as Yggdrasil, the world’s tree; Shirokaneza, the city under the sakura tree; Vonkari, the jewel of the West; etcetera. Some people got alarmed when they saw the warrior with golden eyes in his bright armor, but in every single place Kamisato went he expected one thing, to find fine warriors to spar with, but his wish won’t come true until he finally made it to the arrid cradle of the Uraka empire, the city of Arrakis.

When he first entered the walls he was fascinated by the architecture and the abundance of the desert lands, he found weird to see that many people in the same place at the same time; in this city he’d met a new friend with cat ears and short temperament which name was Tomboy, she gave a tour to Kamisato inside the palace of Arrakis, he was stunned by how much gold there was in every single corner and the absurd amount of luxury that existed in that place, yet, it was to be expected since Kamisato was raised in the wildlands and had to survive in the most hostile environment, after that Tomboy offered some drinks, he did not refuse, after all he had to travel a long way to reach Arrakis, but things got out of control quickly, before they could even realize what was going on, they both got extremely drunk, Tomboy even claimed to see Kamisato floating in the air like if gravity did not exist for him; they started to roam the streets, barely being able to stand on their feet, and in misfortune they ended up at the outsides of a temple in Arrakis which had 3 high princesses sitting inside, Kamisato could not think straight but he was amazed by the race of one of the noblewomen since she was a fox-girl, and that race was one of Kamisato’s likes in women; they started to tease the princesses without any warnings, even when they got embarrassed they didn’t stop, thanks to the destiny and their luck there was no guards around to arrest them for harassment, yet, the luck they had a few seconds ago seemed to ran out when the three young women took out their crossbows and a enchanted bow, Endo was too drunk to realize at first but it wasn’t until Tomboy screamed at him that he opened his eyes wide open and dodged the crossbows’ arrows, but while being drunk he thought it was a good idea to give them an advice of how to properly shoot, in this moment of distraction he got hit by the bow that was a fully enchanted weapon, such a powerful attack could have kill someone but Kamisato’s body surprisingly managed to tank it, although he had to drink one of his healing potions right after, both Kamisato and Tomboy ran from the scene in the middle of laughs and arrows flying behind them, apparently they passed out right after they lost the princesses, since neither he or Tomboy remember what happened.

Endo woke up in a place he didn’t even know, but once back in Arrakis’ streets he met another person, but this time wearing full armor. Her name was Juniper Kyani, the guildmaster of the infrastructure guild in Arrakis, and former partnership wife of Tomboy, he was having an extreme hangover but then Tomboy showed up and took Kamisato aside only to tell him that Juniper was a really good fighter, a veteran warrior that killed many, his eyes shone with excitement and after asking nicely she accepted to spar with the outlander.

The duel took place in the coliseum that was under construction, it was massive, there was no crowd but he felt how his blood boiled with an unstoppable fighting spirit, although two pieces of his armor were degraded he did not back off and stand face to face with the guildmaster, he wanted to discover how strong he had become because he actually had no idea of how much he had improved. As soon as they took positions the duel began, they both starting shooting flame arrows at each other, but Kamisato’s agility allowed him to dodge all the incoming arrows while his golden eyes gave him the accuracy to get some impacts on the Arraki noble, she decided to cover up with her shield from possible incoming arrows, yet, no more arrows came after her, but a silhouette: Kamisato rushed in and closed the distance within a second, he broke her guard with his axe and hit her with a powerful strike swinging his sword, it was that strong that it knocked her several meters away, with this new distance and the current shock of the impact he shot many arrows on his opponent before rushing in once again, she managed to block and counterattack twice, he realized that she indeed had good technique with the sword, but Kamisato’s reflexes allowed him to parry the rest of the attacks, with her guard wide open he started to use both his speed and strength alongside his smooth footwork to make an offensive with several slashes and stabs in her flanks, finishing the Arraki master with his sword, he had won the very first round, after healing up they began the second round, it started very similar to the first one, but this time the Arraki guildmaster seemed to adapt and decided to keep her guard up at all times, she adopted a more defensive style in order to avoid Kamisato’s accuracy skills, he realized that she had no openings, he decided to test her by poking her shield with his sword only to be almost hit by one counterattack he barely managed to reduce, he jump backwards, his golden eyes locked on his opponent as a new tactic appeared in his subconscious, he concentrated his mana and enhanced his lower body with potions, gaining a tremendous amount of speed, so much that even before Juniper could realize he was gone and only dust was left, Kamisato was already on her back when one second ago he was in front of her, he decided to fight only with his sword for that first offensive, his powerful strikes also knocked her away every single time so with the shock of every hit and the brute force that pushed Juniper away he could stay away from her reach and once again rush to her blind spot, she tried to heal up but Kamisato kept knocking her body away, once she forgot about her defensive style and lowered her guard in order to take some healing potions Kamisato already had his bow drawn and an arrow ready and aimed at the guildmaster, he finished her off with a precise shot and also won the second round, and with that, he also obtained his second victory in an official duel.

Royalty and Diplomacy
After spending a week at the arid city, Endo decided to return to the A.W.E.’s territory since he had received a message from his brother Lafonze telling him to “just return home”, the journey back home had nothing interesting besides the growing curiosity of what Lafonze truly wanted to say with that letter, he even got worried, and the idea of something bad happening invaded his mind, he didn’t want that same scenario that happened to his village to repeat once again, that’s the reason he used his physical capabilities to return as fast as possible, literally running with all his might in order to arrive to the Empire that same day. Kamisato would reach the Bostadia province in the afternoon of that day, everything seemed normal, there were no major differences besides some recently built houses for the new population. When he finally reunited with Lafonze, he sighed with relief; but afterwards he was given a letter from the Grand Falcon himself, one of the two major authorities in the whole Empire, Lafonze explained the situation: While he was gone there was a project going on in the Royal Family, at first Kamisato didn’t understand what was going on, but while reading the letter he realized that being Lafonze Adan’s brother also meant becoming the Grand Falcon’s as well, it was such a shocking idea, but not as much as the next paragraph of that letter: he was being invited to reside in the new Royal Mansion.

Endo Kamisato was a person that lived in inhumane conditions and just recently moved into his workplace to live in at least decent conditions, as it could be expected, he was uncertain of taking that privilege at first, after all, he thought he hadn't done anything worthy of being rewarded. Yet, he finally traveled to the Royal Mansion to at least see it in person; he was in total astonishment, he definitely was not used to that much luxury, in fact, he just came back of visiting an abundant city that left him in shock and now he was told to live in a whole mansion with dozens of rooms; he almost decided to reject the offer but it seemed like the Grand Falcon had also accepted him as his brother so Kamisato didn’t want to be rude, although that was too much for him to handle; while being given a tour, he got lost in the mansion over and over again; he was asked to pick a room after the tour was done, and so he did, accepting to live in the Royal Mansion. Apparently his new noble status was not going to be as discreet as he believed it was going to be at first, but Kamisato thought of this as a form of payment that encouraged him to keep working even harder for the nation that accepted him, but of course, under his own conditions.

Endo needed to organize himself, he was now a royal and part of a powerful nation like the A.W.E. He had both personal and professional goals to keep in mind: become stronger as a warrior, and now find out how to serve his nation in the best way possible. He knew that he was going to travel a lot all around Eldham, so he sat down in his new room and started to consider how he could use his own travels in favor of the Empire, he came out with an idea: join the diplomacy by becoming an employee of the Ministry of Foreing Affairs, it would be a little bit complicated since Endo was too blunt and direct sometimes plus to the fact that he didn’t believe in respecting individuals based on mere hierarchies; yet, he had studied political sciences and his personality allowed him to defend himself and his nation’s ideals. He got the job immediately, once in the Ministry he was asked which tasks he was the best at, since Endo had negotiation skills and experience in combat he came in handy, becoming both an ambassador of the Empire and an executioner of its wills: this meant that he would be able to complete various missions and tasks as both a diplomat and an agent of the nation during his travels in the New World.

The Empire's New Era
Kamisato started working in the Ministry, doing some minor tasks that required him to travel; yet, he did not find anyone fitted for his goal of becoming stronger, instead he was feeling overloaded with his job, but a very important event occurred during this period of time, in fact it was the end of an era for the Empire itself.

The Ashtrukan Yoissy, who was the other major authority of the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire alongside with the Grand Falcon, decided to retire from his position and gave the throne to his counselor, the Gadukan, who was also one of the Adan family members, thus one of Kamisato’s adoptive brothers: Goomson Adan.

Although this was unexpected, the Empire quickly accepted Goomson as the new Ashtrukan, due to the fact that he was respected by most of the members of the High Council; a private event was hosted at the Royal Home before his coronation, there Endo finally met his brother Goomson, although they haven’t seen each other in person until that day, they got along as well and partied together with Lafonze and Coolworld. After talking to him for a while, Endo decided to trust him, as Goomson was later revealed to also have allowed Endo to join the family; and so, in front of everyone he swore loyalty to the new Ashtrukan, after that, they drank together like brothers until they blacked out.

Money, power, and family
As time passed by, Kamisato started to work hard on his new job as a diplomat: opening negotiations with different countries, discussing the current political situation of the A.W.E. with his peers, and even being sent to scout places in order to determine new political movements. And as he was stepping into a vast diplomatic world, he started to acquire and produce special recipes in order to sell them to the public, thus making a significant amount of money, more than he could ever imagine; and all these events just happened within few days, and due to that, Kamisato was absolutely shocked as the tables turned to reveal his new position, he even was encouraged to pursue a seat in the Senate, but he declined. During this time he also started to realise how strong he actually had become until now, his daily training was now giving him the fruits he wanted, as he was recognized by Vik as one of the five strongest fighters of the Empire; knowing how much he have improved, Kamisato decided to set a goal, become strong enough to be able to defeat his master, Oscar Draekar, who was one of the strongest men in Eldham, and with that he'd also become the nation’s best fighter, yet, there was long journey to be travelled in order to reach that point.

During this period of getting use to have that much money and power, Kamisato came across a lot of new people, the most notorious one was a woman named Goetia from the rare demon race, Kamisato felt curious and got along with her in no time after he first met her in a market, and as he did with a lot of people, he invited her to the nation; days passed by and he got the word that she moved to Bostadia, other days passed by when Endo finally came back from Akkerburg to the Bostadia province only to find out something, the demon had fallen in love almost instantly with his brother, Lafonze; he clearly did not expect that, and in the very start he didn’t even know how to react to the sudden events; anyways, Endo felt happy about his brother and nephews, and immediately supported a wedding. After some planification, it was decided that their wedding must be hold in the Royal State, during this wedding he started to think about what his new family really meant to him, it was growing and now it seemed pretty established, he thought and realised that those persons were the people that accepted him and gave him a second chance in life, and when he saw them being happy, he was happy as well, he wanted to treasure and protect that, so he promised to himself to protect his brothers and friends. A friend of Endo, named Citrus, helped him with the wedding, and it was official in no time. His brother was now married, and now they started to gain even more influence, soon Kamisato made his first one hundred thousand dollars, and was now aiming to help his nation in any ways possible to him, but he saw himself surrounded by a lot of work, despite that, Kamisato had a very clear idea of what his major priority was, so after cleaning some work, he decided to go on another journey in Eldham, this time to the far west, so he could see what destiny have prepared for him, but he clearly had no idea.

The lost golden eyes
The journey lasted days, although Endo had the capabilities to quickly travel around Eldham and could make his way back home within the spare of a few hours, he wanted to explore the whole west side of the continent, passing by numerous regions and countries, camping in the outskirts while defeating any bandits that tried to rob him; he gained a lot of knowledge, and even if he didn’t speak the local languages, he already had mastered the Traveller’s tongue so communication with the few people that also spoke the universal language made his journey way more easy. Kamisato felt how his combat techniques were getting sharper with every battle he fought against bandits, he was feeling more confident as he was getting even more skilled than he was before.

Yet, the last day of his journey was the most interesting, and also, one of the most important days of his life; as the moon was rising, he was alone, walking through a dirt path in the middle of a dark oak forest, the sky was almost fully covered among the trees’ branches, but finally, he found a spot where he could admire the sky from; out of nowhere, something happened, he felt like if a needle was piercing through his eyes and his ears were ringing alongside a terrible headache, he closed his eyes in pain and covered his ears, after suffering for some seconds he tried to open his eyes once again, he didn’t know they were glowing intensely, Kamisato was experimenting something that has never happened before in his life, he felt how his own mana was out of control but finally took a deep breath in order to suppress it, and so, the pain ended and he finally could recover; it was strange but he didn’t have time to rest as he heard the unmistakable sound of a battle going on nearby. Curious of this and maybe wondering if something triggered that mysterious event, he decided to get closer to the skirmish, he observed from the bushes how an unit of uniformed soldiers were being ambushed by a group of bandits, at first he didn’t recognised the uniforms of the soldiers, all Kamisato knew was that they were being massacred, many of them were already dead when he arrived, and on top of that the outlaws drastically outnumbered them; although it was a very unfair fight that battle was not his, so he decided to ignore it at first, but when he was about to leave and disappear between the woods he noticed how the few injured soldiers were fleeing from the battle only leaving one person, a woman; he saw in how a deploring state she was, she got slashed and stabbed multiple times with spears, her blood was pouring in the ground, it was such a horrible scenario, he didn’t know how she managed to even stand up with the injuries she had; once more, the young woman got stabbed multiple times in her midriff by the bandits’ spears and their arrows pierced through her legs, but she stood up alone and entered a combat stance again, finally looking up allowing him to see her face; to the surprise of Kamisato, when he saw her in the eyes, that mysterious event from before was triggered once again, her eyes were golden as his, although their brightness was almost fully opaque, he could tell they were identical to his, the pain returned but the curiosity didn’t allow him to close his eyes this time, he saw something he had never seen, a strange aura coming out from every single living being in that place, including Kamisato himself, he looked down to his own arms and saw how he had an aura coming out of his own body, mainly conformed with the colors blue and black, and when he looked up he saw how all the bandits’ auras were of a reddish color, he also felt all the negative emotions they had, then he looked at that woman to find out that she also had one, but that aura was completely identical to his, in form and color; he didn’t know it at first, but that was the moment he had discovered that his eyes had another capacity besides enhancing his perception skills: the ability to see others’ auras and souls.

The pain eventually stopped as he looked at her face, images ran through his mind like if he could see through the deepest parts of her soul: the similarities in their auras, the memories of that woman, her emotions, and her will-power to keep fighting although her comrades had left her alone, all these things reminded Kamisato that he also was once alone and no one helped him in a long time. Kamisato then thought that if he was given another chance in life because of his will-power, she deserved one as well, he then decided not to let the flame of her soul extinguish in the shadows of death.

As the woman’s battlecry was getting weaker and her facial expressions revealed the fear of an unknown destiny, the clouds turned darker and covered the sky, a torment started as torrential rain started to pour on the scene, it was then when the bandits noticed another presence coming out of the woods; for some reason, this made them feel immediate intimidation; the rain expanded the blood pools on the ground and finally Kamisato appeared, in contrast to the eyes of the woman, Kamisato’s were glowing in a pure bright golden and a feeling of being under a threat and bloodlust filled the bandits’ hearts, without saying a single word he started to single handedly massacre the attackers with ease, since he became stronger during this last journey it was no major problem to his skills, what surprised him was how she killed one more bandit while he was distracted killing the majority of them. After the last of them was killed he sheathed his sword and walked towards the woman, for some seconds they looked at each other, Kamisato felt confused since he didn’t understand her language, and he felt even more intrigued when he saw her cry in desperation as she barely raised her sword to block a possible attack, he then understood that she was waiting for him to kill her as well, and hopefully bring her a quick death.

Yet, Kamisato crouched and took some healing potions from his bag, he tried to use the Traveler’s Tongue to communicate, but she didn’t seem to understand what he was trying to say, but soon enough she fell unconscious due to the blood loss, although her wounds being so severe, Endo’s healing potions were that effective that allowed him to stabilize her, it was a close call since she barely avoided death, he gave first aid to that mysterious woman as he started to question how and why did he awaken that skill in that precise moment, at the moment he believed it was just a mere coincidence. Once he made sure she wouldn’t die right away, he carried the unconscious warrior all the way to the Royal Home to give her a shelter, due to Kamisato’s physical capabilities the journey to his home was made in the spare of a few hours.

A new partner
Even after being healed and treated with potions and other medications her state was so bad that she wouldn’t wake up until the very next day. When she finally did, and after the initial confusion, she revealed her name, Frieda; she was a warrior from the far nation of Rodinnbrok, the communication was a difficult problem to deal with since she was not fluent in the Traveler’s Tongue or any of the other languages he could speak, to fix this issue Endo went right into the Royal Home’s library and studied her mother language for one week, during this period of time she could barely walk, so he took care of the injured soldier while learning her language; although of this, she was feeling suspicious of why Kamisato spared her life and even saved her; after Endo learnt the language, they could finally understand each other, so she asked for reasons right away, Endo didn’t know how to explain what he felt when he saw her or what happened, but he decided to be sincere in other way, he explained how he also was once at the bottom of the world barely surviving in the wild among bandits and other threats, and how suddenly he was given another chance to live, to grow stronger; and when he came across her in that situation, he couldn’t help it but to see in her an image of himself in his lowest. After explaining the situation and that she was not in danger he allowed Frieda to rest in the Royal Home for a couple of days before sending her back to her homeland, but soon enough news came all the way from Rodinnbrok to the A.W.E., when Frieda herself read the news before Endo, her palid expression told him that the news weren’t good, during the two weeks she spent recovering from her injuries in the Royal Home, he learnt that she was an extremist loyalist to her nation, but now she was feeling betrayed, it appeared that the nation declared her as deceased in action and was also changing its name; this was a direct hit to Frieda’s pride, not only her national comrades abandoned her in battle to die, but the high ranks decided to disrespect her loyalty; due to these events she felt destroyed and didn’t want to come back to her nation, after talking about it, she got hired by Endo as a personal assistant and maid, Frieda decided to throw her past in her old nation away and start all over again, after the time they spent together she stated that she owned her life to Endo, she decided to officially swear loyalty to him and therefore to the Empire, claiming that now her life and herself belonged to him.

As bizarre and sudden as it sounds it was now official, now Endo got someone to assist him during his missions, they got along rather quickly, both of them were pretty similar in every single aspect, to the point they will say the same things at the same time, they also looked somewhat similar despite the gender difference. Not only their souls were identical but their own existences were so similar and alike that even Endo’s brothers had some sort of weird feeling when interacting with both of them, since they talked and acted like one single person.

Weeks after Frieda swore loyalty to Endo, and after being encouraged to do so, she decided to send a letter to her old nation only to let her relatives know that she was indeed alive; an unknown group of people showed up in the nation’s territory a couple of days after they sent the letter, they established in Bostadia, later revealing themselves as Rodinnbrok’s members, including the adoptive brother of Frieda herself; they were looking for Frieda but soon enough most of them left after confirming that she won’t leave the A.W.E., and although there was some tension between Endo himself and some of the members that called her a traitor, nothing much happened and things settled down in silence.

That long night in Lutum
(Author's note: The following events occurred before ERP was banned during the rule changes of 24/11/2021, documented only for lore purposes and very important reasons).

With a new helper in his diplomatic tasks, Endo became a lot more efficient and met a lot of important political figures, sometimes, his journeys turned out very bizarre because of the cultural impact, but he took the opportunity to learn about the diverse cultures scattered around Eldham, signing treaties and establishing trading among the nations.

It was an exhausting job, Frieda seemed concerned about Endo’s insane amount of stress, but this period of working until late night in his office came to a break when he received a letter from his own master, Oscar Draekar. He was excited when he first opened it, he was expecting it to be an invitation to train together, yet his facial expression changed when the only content it had was a single sentence “Go to Lutum, I will be waiting for you.”

“Oh, maybe he wants to duel with me over there, sounds fun…” he first thought, but he couldn’t have been more mistaken than that, Endo said goodbye to Frieda and proceeded to set route to the allied country with his trusty horse that was given to him after helping a village, after traveling across the mountains and rivers he finally arrived at the city of Lutumshire, only to be received by his close friend Vik, he was shocked to see him there, he tried to say hi to him, but Vik only replied with directions as he and Endo approached a suspicious looking building. Endo didn’t know what was going on, but he listened to the voices of three people in the basement as he was going downstairs with Vik, he could distinguish one, his master’s. When they arrived at the lowest, the viking and the wandering warrior opened the door only to reveal Oscar alongside his relative, Pizza Draekar; a diplomat, called Rougant; and the new king of Lutum, Blue Arbiter; all of them were sitting in what appeared to be some sort of pub. When Oscar saw Endo he smiled behind his helmet, before he could even question what was going on, Oscar revealed the real motive of his letter, they were having a party because of the recent independence of the country, Endo felt relieved as he didn’t had to do any work, or so he thought, but then he saw a strange pole on the stage in front of the table; Pizza Draekar who was already pretty drunk after a couple of drinks with Endo and company, offered himself to dance in the pole, which was pretty strange, but as they all were having a great time he didn't mind, Endo decided to stay, he even became friends with the new King after talking for several hours, when Pizza was done with his performance Vik jumped in to dance as well, after they were done Endo decided that it was enough partying for a day, he wanted to be back home before dawn, but his master had other plans. “Dance, Endo!” said Oscar while swinging his beer, Endo tried to deny the petition, but a drunken Vik blocked his path towards the exit gate, yet, Endo himself was also under some effects of drunkenness, and only because of that and the fact that he didn’t want to anger his friend he thought about it for a second, then, Blue Arbiter himself offered him some “valuable items” like some gunpowder, suggar, berries and a diamond; as he couldn’t think very well because of his state, Endo accepted and danced in the pole, even doing a double performance with Pizza; this also resulted in the wandering warrior and the bird man to become friends.

The night lasted long, some parts of Endo’s memories were blurry as he was just getting even more drunk, one of his last memories was him punching his master in the face after he, for some sort of unknown reason, asked him to do so. At the end he could barely stand up, but when the party was over, Endo was finally able to exit that place as Vik and Oscar blacked out. Endo then managed to recover his horse and ride back home, he was later scolded by Frieda and forbidden to ever drink alcohol again.
