Dominant Emotion || Indifference
- Personality -
As far as first impressions go, Kain appears to be a mature and somewhat mysterious man. He holds himself confidently, with the composure of someone who's barely phased by the world around him. Most who first meet him may see him as a strong, respectable person who has a sense of intelligence that far exceeds his age. He's detached from others, but his aloofness often leads to people being curious of him. There are plenty who admire him as well. After all, having such a high rank despite being so young is quite impressive, so he's pretty popular amongst youth who hope to also become powerful Keepers.
However, the way strangers perceive someone is most often incorrect and usually biased. Those who spend enough time with him to see past the rank placed over his head will no doubt see sides of him that the media overlooks. Kain's not exactly the most pleasant person to be around, as he's incredibly blunt and a little insulting, talking down on others without a hint of remorse. He's annoyed easily, especially if someone interrupts him when he's in the middle of doing something. He can be unbelievably condescending at times, contradicting his distaste of self-centered personalities. Though some might not notice, this behavior is merely a sort of defense to keep others from wanting to become friends with him.
Pulling back the outside layer, Kain's not nearly as narcissistic and mouthy as he pretends to be. In fact, he couldn't care less about the rank he walks under, finding the ranking system that the Council abides by to be quite dumb and unnecessary, even if it may be a more or less accurate way to measure someones power. Kain doesn't view himself to be as important or amazing as other like to. He's actually surprisingly humble, quick to ignore or push away any praise he receives. His social skills aren't so terrible either, as he finds little difficulty in talking casually with strangers. On the other hand, he tends to react awkwardly towards unexpected kindness and may even shy away from genuine affection.
His role as Guild Master is something he takes quite seriously, but his words and actions may cause others to assume otherwise. He's laid back and not very leader-like, showing little concern for the war that the Ruinosus are waging against humans. However, when it comes down to it, he can be shockingly assertive, shouting orders and calculating his actions carefully and precisely. He doesn't take well to selfishness, though he's admittedly a little selfish himself, and has no trouble enforcing discipline if he finds it necessary to do so. As harsh as he may seem, though, he can be fairly friendly and even kind in his own way if you believe in tough love.
His view on the war brewing between humans and Ruinosus would probably be looked at as odd for someone of his position. Humans aren't all purity and justice and Ruinosus aren't just evil and darkness. Throughout history humans have been known to murder and steal, wiping out any obstacle that gets in the way of their desires, not that he's taking the side of the Ruinosus either. They've destroyed homes and lives as well, but he doesn't think it's his place to establish what is good and what is evil. Like he read in a story once; war doesn't determine who is right, only who is left.
- Talents -
Observing - Kain pays an incredible amount of attention to detail. He can read how someone is feeling just by watching their body movements, which also come in handy when in a fight. He's very aware of his surroundings, so sneaking up on him is seemingly impossible.
Piano - His mother took the time to teach him how to play, so he's quite good and is rather fond of the instrument.
Art - Another things he's fond of, but not so open to admit it. Since he wasn't fond of playing with other children, he spent most of his time drawing and has grown to be a fairly talented artist, especially when using paints.
Reverse Psychology - Kain can be a little manipulative sometimes, but he's become particularly skilled in the art of using reverse psychology to get people to do what he wants them to.
Hand-to-Hand Combat - He doesn't need a weapon to fight his battles. Kain has been trained in hand-to-hand since he was a child and was taught to never rely solely on a weapon alone.
Multilingual - With his vast knowledge of a plethora of languages and being able to speak them fluently, he has no problem traveling to many places and being able to speak with the natives freely.
Pain Tolerance - Even as a child Kain was a pretty tough kid, never crying to his mother if he got hurt and always trying to patch himself up instead. It takes quite the beating to keep him on the ground and he's very good at ignoring pain, usually not feeling the real heat of his injuries until after a fight is over.
- Flaws -
Unmotivated - Laziness is something that has a habit of dragging him down from time to time. If he can't find the motivation to do something, unless it's an emergency he simply won't do it.
Stubborn - Despite his young age, Kain is a highly experienced Keeper and is pretty set in his ways of doing things, so he can be pretty stubborn when it comes to being told he's wrong about something and it can take a while before he acknowledges his mistakes.
Lack of Direction - Kain has absolutely no sense of direction whatsoever and would even get lost in the simplest of structures if not for the help of his Demon.
- Weaknesses -
Attachments - Kain has always worked better alone with the only company being his Demon. If he's around others whom he considers allies he can become easily distracted and has a tendency to worry too much about their well-being. It's obvious that he's less focused on his safety during a fight if those he cares about are fighting with him.
His Mother - His mother is the most precious person in the world to him, and Kain would do anything to keep her safe even if it meant turning his back on his allies.
Consistent Heat - Kain can defend himself quite easily from heat and fire, but not if it's consistent. If fire is being thrown at him piece by piece he has no trouble blocking, but he can only protect himself from constant heat for at least 3 minutes.
- Hobbies -
Walking - Anytime Kain needs to clear his head he'll disappear to go for a stroll, often without telling anyone. He'd prefer to do this alone, but his Demon always follows close behind since without him Kain would just end up getting lost somewhere.
Sketching - Finding a quiet place just to sit and sketch is quite relaxing and any time Kain goes for one of his walks he usually takes a small sketchbook and pen along with him.
Collecting - Being as he's traveled to a majority of places, any time he goes somewhere new he likes to collect things that he thinks his mother might like and send them to her.
- Powers -
Ice Manipulation - The basic ability anyone with the area of ice possesses. Kain can manipulate and control ice at will. Ice does not need to be present in order for him to use his power, as he's capable of creating his own. The ice that he creates has a much stronger form.
Shield - By covering parts of his body with extremely compacted ice, he can block just about any weapon with that part of his body. He can also use this to harden his fists, shoes, legs, ect. to deal heavy blows to an enemy. These shields are incredibly hard to break, but not impossible and may shatter if struck repeatedly.
Body of Ice - By lowering the temperature of his body and forming a thin layer of frost over his skin, clothes, and hair, normal fire will have little to no effect on him. By constantly replacing the frost, he can continue to use this to reduce damage from fire users, but replacing it over and over for long periods of time can be tiring.
Frostbite - Frostbite occurs when blood vessels constrict, and in a third degree case, muscles, tendons and nerves in the body freeze. All Kain has to do is touch someone/thing to cause frostbite to form in that area, resulting in painful blistering and hardening of the skin and, depending on the amount of power used, a possible loss of body parts.
Liquid Solidification - As long as it has or had a liquid form, Kain can turn it to ice and use it how he pleases. Be it water, oil, steam, and even blood, once it's been frozen he has full control over it.
Blue Lips - By cooling his breath and breathing into the mouth of another, he can freeze the liquid in their throat, resulting in painful suffocation. Of course this usually requires him to place his lips on or very close to the lips of another, so he's not so keen on using it on anything that doesn't look human. This can also be used to soothe a sore throat if he simply cools instead of freezes.
Frigid Blades - Kain can create weapons, more specifically bladed weapons, by shaping ice into the weapon he wants. These are usually for temporary use, but are still quite strong and razor sharp. With this he can create weapons for both long-range and short-range battles and has a unlimited use of them.
Blizzard - This usually works better if snow is already present in the environment, but Kain can also create snow by freezing the moisture in the air to form snowflakes. The next step is to basically use the snow to create a blizzard around the area where the battle is taking place. This is a move Kain made up after witnessing a Wind user do something similar, only Kain manipulates the snow around him to form the blizzard instead of wind. This is mostly used to distract an enemy and make it more difficult for them to concentrate.
- Special Power -
Death of Winter - This is a move that Kain has only used once when he was young and has avoided using it since. Once he gathers and builds up the energy that gives him his power, he can project it outward, freezing everything within a forty feet radius. Bodies will turn to complete ice, as well as anything that is in the area at the time. The only way to escape this is if Kain shields you with his own ice before activating his attack. Whatever is left behind will shatter an become nothing more than a pile of freezing shards on the icy ground.
- Secondary Area -
Cleansing - The power to extract the evil from any being. Even if there is only a sliver of light left, as long as that being hasn't been completely devoured Kain can use Cleansing to force away the darkness. This process can be quite painful for the one being cleansed, however, and may leave them feeling rather exhausted after the process is complete. Once Kain has already used this on someone/thing once, it cannot be done a second time.
- Skill Set -
Katana - Kain has been trained in the art of the katana since he was young and has mastered it years ago. His katana, never given a name, is specifically made to be compatible with his ability. By coating the blade in freezing ice, it can cut through practically anything.
Hand-to-Hand - If by any chance he's left without his weapon, he's still quite capable of fighting without it. Of course he can just as easily create weapons from ice and use those as well, but he has no real need to rely on his power to fight.
- Typical Attire -
Never the type to care much about fashion or popular trends, Kain prefers to dress as comfortably and casually as possible. He's most commonly seen in sweat pants and a plain t-shirt, often wearing the matching sweat jacket as well. He'll sometimes walk around in boxers and a tank top as well, since that's normally what he sleeps in and occasionally lacks the motivation to put real clothes on. He'll wear pretty much any type of shoe as long as it fits right and won't fall off during a fight, but he prefers boots over anything else.
- Keepsakes -
Kain's katana was once his father's weapon, but the man handed it down to Kain as a gift for graduating from the Japanese Keepers Academy. He wouldn't say so, but the blade is very important to him.
- History -
Kain grew up in quite the large house with many rooms and hallways. His mother was quite wealthy, her job as head maiden providing her with a comfortable lifestyle. There were people who cooked their food, cleaned their house, maintained the large garden that surrounded the home. All in all, this was a life that many could only wish for. Even so, Kain's mother always made sure that these things wouldn't go to his head. Good manners was one of the most important lessons that Sukiri lectured her son on. She didn't spoil him with lots of toys or allow him to act like he was better than other people. Not once did these lessons ever slip away from him, either. He was a very polite and friendly, happy to help around the house or do favors for his mother.
From a very young age, it was apparent that Kain had inherited the same power that his father had. His mother could not see the things that he could, but she always believed him and enjoyed listening as he described the little dragon that would follow him around. He had the potential to become a Keeper, just like his father. Just because his mother believed in the things he saw, though, doesn't mean that there weren't others who called him silly or laughed at his make believe friend. Elementary school was his least favorite place to be. Almost everyone avoided him, except those who thought it funny to tease and bully him to only learn that Kain had soon enough reached his breaking point as he lost control of his Keeper power for the first time, injuring three other students and sending another to the hospital to receive treatment for frost bite that had covered his arms.
He didn't even finish third grade before his mother decided it would be best to home school him and hired a woman who would teach the young boy how to use his abilities properly. Over the course of three years Kain showed great progress. He learned quickly and moved through his training rather swiftly after the first year. There was no doubt that he was talented, despite still having much to learn. He loved learning about the art of Ice and the history of Keepers, getting in trouble a few times for practicing by himself and accidentally freezing the walls of the house or killing the plants outside with cold. His mother would often tell him how much he reminded her of his father, but that didn't really mean much to Kain. After all, he'd never met the man even once and had only seen pictures of him.
Before long, strange men began to show up at their house. Turned out that the Council themselves had heard of Kain's progress and wanted him to enroll in an academy for Keeper that had recently been built in Japan. His mother always refused, saying that an eleven year old boy was too young to be living by himself. She was also well aware of the hard training that Keeper academies enforced, remembering the stories her husband used to tell her. Then one night, another group of strange men came to the house, only these were not men sent by the council to enlist Kain. His father was quite the infamous man, and as a Keeper made many enemies. Once again, Kain would lose control of his ability as the urge to protect his mother overtook him. It only took a second before the entire house and property, including the staff and the men who broke in, froze and shattered into nothing, only him and his mother remaining. He then made the decision himself that he was going to take the Council up on their offer.
The first years he spent living at the academy are long an uneventful. He was very young, at least two or three years younger than the majority of the other students who lived there. He was still teased and people laughed at his puny demon, who was only the size of a kitten then. Those who looked down on him would soon enough eat their words as Kain exceeded his teachers expectations and he moved up in rank quite quickly. It seemed as if weopon and power training came easy to him, like he'd already been doing it for years, but he had to work just as hard as the others to move up. He trained nonstop for hours, his small body growing stronger and taller each year while he while he was not only being taught how to use his ability bu his teachers, but also his demon. There were people who admired him and people who hated his perfect grades and envied the control he had over himself. He was a genuine prodigy, but this also kept him distant from other students and though he had quite a few fans he never made any real friends.
Kain graduated a year earlier than the rest of his class, quickly taking up a job as a Keeper and traveling the world doing job much like his father. However, some time over the years he spent at the academy, he slowly started to feel a sort of hatred towards the Council. Well, not really a hatred, but his loyalty wasn't nearly as strong as most students. He didn't think of them as his leader, even if they were the ones who controlled the Keeper system from behind. When he finally earned the official title of Keeper, he turned into quite the nuisance and rarely followed any order he was given, no doubt leading the council to become rather cross with him. This didn't keep them from awarding him with higher and higher ranks as he improved, and not long after he turned twenty he was given the title of B Rank Keeper.
Nearly a year later, news came from the Council that they had received a single request from none other than Kain's father. The reason the man had to leave his wife in the first place was because he was given the task of leading a new guild of highly talented, but youthful Keepers. The Council had recently bestowed upon the man the name of Hunter, and he was given the choice to choose who would take his place as new Guild Master of the guild Lone Sin. He had appointed the new role to Kain, who although reluctant at first finally decided to take on the task.

- Oddities -
Orion does not speak any human
language, but seems to understand them.
- Eye Color -
Scarlet Red
- Fur Color/Length-
Orion's body is mostly covered in soft sky-blue fur. There is
a longer patch of ice blue that runs along his back with light
spots around his face. As the fur move out along his wings
and tail, it is replaced with layers of light blue feathers.
- Size -
In his usual form, Orion is not much larger than
your average house cat. However he can voluntarily
change his size to be as large as a two-story building.
- Weight -
He's fairly light in his small form, about 3 lbs.
His weight may vary depending on his size, though.
- Scars -
The icy patch that runs down his back was once a deep
wound. Oddly enough, his fur grew back in longer than the
rest of his pelt there and also came in a light blue color.
- Tattoos -
None
- Birthmarks -
None that Kain is aware of. Too much fur to see.
- Piercings -
His left ear was once pierced, but the gold ring
that used to be there was removed a long time ago.
Dominate Emotion || Protectiveness
- Personality -
If Orion were human, he'd probably be the teachers pet in the classroom that always gets straight A's and is picky about the way they dress. Cleanliness is one of his top priorities, as he hates the feeling of having dirt stuck in his fur, and he grooms himself whenever he gets the chance to do so, even if just for a second. He's quite the conceited dragon, holding his head up with pride and showing little to no respect towards other demons.
Orion has a very puny amount of tolerance and can't stand bubbly and explosive personalities. He's ant-social like no other, clinging only to Kain and having no interest in associating with others. As stiff and fancy as he may be, he's acts not so differently from a loving house cat towards Kain. The Keeper is the only one Orion will listen to no matter what the situation and rarely acts on his own accord.
Even with his prissy and arrogant manners, Orion lived on the earth long before Kain was born, and he's actually incredibly wise and intelligent. His loyalty towards his human is unquestionable, but there are times when he will become hostile of Kain if Orion senses that the Keeper's mind may be wavering. Unlike Kain, the dragon has a very strong sense of what is right and what is wrong, and he's not afraid to turn on his human to set him straight if necessary.
- Talents -
Speed - Orion is both agile on the ground and especially in the air. He can run and make his way through obstacles quickly and swiftly, even more capable of doing so when he's flying.
Tracking - With his heightened senses, Orion is incredibly skilled in tracking down anything, be it human, Ruinosus, or even a specific type of plant. His tracking skills are especially better when he's already familiar with whatever he's looking for.
Night Vision - The dark is no match for Orion's ability to see in the darkness even in the blackest of nights. Whether the sun is shining in the sky or the moon has yet to grow full, night and day doesn't make any difference to him at all. If anything his eyesight is even better at night.
- Flaws -
Lazy - Right in there with Kain's lack of motivation, Orion isn't too fond of doing things that don't really need to be done. He'd rather lay around the whole day and just bask in the relaxation.
Prissy - Orion easily becomes frustrated with those with loud mouths and uncontrollable amounts of energy. Sloppiness and lack of manners is absolutely out of the question and even gets onto Kain about dressing better and paying more attention to his appearance, in which Kain usually just ignores him. The dragons straight-laced mannerism often leads to other demons not wanting to be in his company.
- Weaknesses -
Fire - Unlike Kain, Orion is unable to coat his body in frost to protect himself from heat or flames, so being hit by fire directly would be quite painful for the dragon. However with his ability to breath freezing cold air he can still hold off flames for a good few minutes.
Size - Orion can change his size from small to giant, but his body strength also changes with his size so the smaller he is the weaker his body is. Being hit by heavy attacks or to be thrown around roughly when in his small form can cause some serious damage.
Kain - There is no other being that Orion is more protective of than Kain. The dragon would sooner give up it's life than let harm come to his human. He's gotten himself injured many times in the past trying to protect Kain from even the tiniest threats, something that Kain is constantly scolding him for doing.
- Hobbies -
Sleeping - What better way to spend your time than to curl up on something soft and take a good long nap? Whether this could be considered and actual hobby or not doesn't matter to Orion. He's too busy sleeping.
Grooming - If given the opportunity to do so, Orion will spend hours on end grooming himself until his coat is so shiny it could probably be used as a mirror. He's grown so used to always having such a clean coat, he can't fathom how some people and demons can go about the whole day without worrying about all the dust that could be landing on them.
