Kai Aikawa

Kai Aikawa (SparkByPhoenix in-game)
Kai Aikawa is a resident of the Empire of Uldarash 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 tests he ran on 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 the Kingdom of Nullaria, Uldarash. The young male was finally thinking of residing somewhere after years of traveling. 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 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 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. It took them both a while to develop some sort of bond, which started when his partner finally shared 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, revealing the weapon Erkhaan used in the past, a pretty powerful bow that he called "Mortal Reminder''.

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.

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.

Residence in Sevarnia
After traveling back to Uldarash, he stopped by in Savernia after he applied for a citizenship there as well. He was hoping to help the Uldarashi state expand but also wanted to get involved in the Uldarashi Civil War as his state, Nullaria was neutral.

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.

Religious involvment in his life
Kai had made the seal on his body stronger with some help of a devine servant, sent by the Twin Dragon. After managing to nagotiate with Eerkhaan, the seal was broken and now Erkhaan was to come out whenever he wants but with approval of Kai, because his power was still destructive.

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.
