Description: A blonde haired pretty boy; Kane is actually fairly scrawny, short, and even younger looking then his age. With his bright blue-green eyes masked behind his messy hair, he always tends to look curious or naĆÆve ā a trait that reflects his optimistic tendencies. When on duty, he wears the typical garb that most exorcist recruits wear, but when given some spare time, he typically dons t-shirts and cargo shorts, occasionally with zip up jackets or hoodies. If he feels people arenāt respecting him enough, he does sometimes wear his black suit jacket with red shirt to give him a bit more of a formal appearance, but the effect is usually temporary ātil his next slip up.
Due to his clumsiness, he often has the odd bruise or cuts on him, though he does his best to keep these hidden. He also has a few holy inscriptions tattooed onto his back in an ornate pattern, though he's rarely, if ever, shirtless.
Personality:
Kane is an optimist and a firm believer in the WDL and fighting against the demons. Filled with faith and inner strength, heās the kind that wonāt give up, and remains fairly cheery all the time. This can lead to him seeming naĆÆve and child-like however, since heās actually not too bright or wise; making him a gullible fool all too easy to manipulate or insult without him realising until a few moments later (āHey!ā Is quite possibly his most commonly used expression). The kind to passively agree to most anything, this can occasionally get him to make mistakes with his words, which can lead to him fumbling over his sentences and saying things heāll regret later. The poor fellow has a habit of digging himself a hole, then making it even deeper as he attempts to make reparations.
A bit of a klutz, in some ways, Kane can seem quite hopeless; failing at tests, tripping over himself and causing accidents. Still, even though heāll occasionally berate himself as useless, heās quick to get back on his feet and remain determined to improve himself. Friendly to most everyone, heās in awe of most higher level exorcists, revering them similar to the heroes in comic books. Kinda goofy with a weird sense of humour, heās quite easy to take advantage of with his agreeableness, naivety and friendly nature, as he is often willing to help however he can. Amongst superiors in the WDL, he is a faithful, reliable and obedient student (Though āreliableā is questionable considering how clumsy he isā¦)
Though Kane adamantly believes in the WDL cause, he doesnāt necessarily think that fighting is the only answer, or that all demons need to be eradicated. Perhaps demons arenāt inherently evil? Maybe everyone could get along peacefully? Somehow, he believes that to be possible ā though maybe, certain things would have to be done before that could be the case. After all, no one could forget what sins the demon lords have committed. They can find absolution in death. Aside from his fairly strong view regarding the āevilā demons, Kane wants to protect most all of mankind, and believes that everyone has the potential for good. In that regard, he's against the often brutal methods of the WDL, though understands that sometimes they're a necessity. Unlike other Exorcists however, he'd never take the opportunity to revel in another's suffering, demon or otherwise.

N/A
-Lucky..? (A)
Despite a horrible level of ineptitude, Kane seems to be fairly lucky that his clumsiness doesn't cause him more grief other than some mildly painful injuries. In spite of all the trials Kane seems to go through, he always seems to survive... Somehow. Kind of like a cockroach. This is not likely to be an actual ability, but instead fortuitous coincidence.
N/A
-Elemental Mastery (C)
Under tutelage from his aunts and uncles, Kane has become well versed using elemental magic, able to perform different controlling and conjuring of the different elements based on a variety of incantations and motions. The primary elements include Fire, Earth, Water, Wind, Thunder (Electricity), Ice, Light, Dark, Nature and Metal.
-Elemental Imbuing {C+}
Kane's signature style of magic, the young exorcist is capable of granting magical elemental properties to weapons and other objects in order to alter or enhance their abilities. Typically, this would consist of things like coating his sword in a wreathe of flames, or enchanting his shotgun to fire freezing pellets. This provides him some degree of versatility, but does require a varying amount of time to perform the enchantment.
-Sealing Magic {C}
Well versed in magical rituals, Kane is capable of generating sealing talismans and barriers, preventing or restricting demons that are weak enough to be affected. The talismans can take the form of necklaces, paper seals, or many other trinkets; while the barriers are usually a large affair involving chalk symbols, candles, or intense prayer. Most sealing magic works to either limit demon powers, or to prevent their movement, and can be strengthened
Spellsword {Skilled}
Kane is actually surprising capable at multitasking both his magic and his physical abilities. Capable of simultaneously wielding his sword whilst enchanting it with spells is not a simple feat, as is being able to channel energy and magic through the sword itself. Maybe if Kane himself had some more potent magical abilities, he'd be far more formidable.
-Cooking {Skilled]
Kane has been heavily domesticated and instructed by his family. In particular, Candice has very high standards for living well, and as such, it's vital that Kane be able to adequately cook for himself, and potentially others. Kane is well versed in using fresh food, preparing it and experimenting with dishes in such a way as to make culinary delights.
-Cleaning {Master}
The only skill that Kane has that is perhaps more impressive than his cooking is Kane's ability to clean. Thoroughly attentive to detail, and yet extremely efficient and expedient, dirt and grime have nowhere to run before the powerful (cleaning) might of Kane O'Reilly!
-Swordsman {Skilled}
Training with his aunts and uncles was not limited to just magic; Kane is well versed in combat training, particularly in swords. Though he can perform a variety of styles, Kane prefers to fight with a one handed blade.
-Marksman {Adept}
Though Aunt Rinne may be the true legendary shot, Kaneās marksmanship isnāt quite to the same level. Perhaps thatās why he uses a shotgun rather than something more precise. Still, heās better than most, and can certainly hold his own with a variety of firearms. Candice has her suspicions that perhaps thereās a reason Kaneās shots arenāt quite to a skilled calibreā¦
Dual Wielding {Skilled}
Kane is something of an oddball, in that he can wield both his gun and sword at the same time, uniquely utilising the benefits of both. That said, heās still best at a closer range when using his weapons.
N/A
-Silver Katana
An ancient expertly crafted blade, it seems to be magically enhanced, at least in durability and sharpness and is Kaneās weapon of choice. One of many parting gifts from Kaneās family.
-Shotgun
A specially designed, one handed shotgun; its light weight contrasts its startling power. Though reloading it while one handed can be slightly difficult, the weapon itself is capable of being āloadedā with Kaneās magic for energy shots rather than traditional bullets and pellets.
-Pistol
A standard issue sidearm that can be useful in a pinch.
- Prayer Beads
A magical rosary of beads, Kane can pull and throw beads for different explosive elemental effects.
- Holy Water
Standard issue exorcist holy water has a variety of offensive and defensive uses against demons. Kane carries a few vials on hand.
N/A
- Talismans
Kane has a variety of pre-inscribed Talismans for spells, particularly for sealing or containing demons. Additionally, he keeps a large number of blank ones on hand in case he needs to make more or different kinds on the fly.
-Chalk/Scented Candles/Rope/Lighter/Crucifix
For when a Talisman is not appropriate, Kane has the tools to create more ritual styled containment fields. That said, he doesnāt always carry his Mysticism bag everywhere.
Kane never knew his parents. His birth ones anyway. His adopted parents told him that he'd been found in a casket, and they had no idea where he came from. Regardless, they assured him that he must have been loved, judging by the careful condition he'd been placed in the basket. They must have had their reasons for leaving him. Regardless, his new parents always stated how much they treasured him and his jovial nature. That he was honest, dedicated, earnest and hardworking was all they could ask for. Growing up in a shrine out in the mountains, Kane underwent various monk training in virtual isolation, honing his mind and body to channel spirits and energy. He was a bit of a shut in, but he didn't mind. His family and aunts and uncles were quite eccentric and entertaining; and even encouraged him to visit the nearby towns, and take his time while performing chores and the like. They wanted him to have a good and fulfilling life.
And yet...
The first time Kane saw demons, it was pretty overwhelming. They were clearly dangerous, but seeing his aunt dispatch them swiftly using the skills she'd been training him in was quite the eye-opener. He asked all sorts of questions about it, and learned of the dangers and troubles of the world. That demons existed and harmed the innocents... Well, that was something that he couldn't stand for. Further delving into his training, Kane implored his aunts, mother and uncles to help him learn to fight as well. Aunty Rin was one at the forefront of his training, enhancing his agility and marksmanship. Not quite to her level, but still, impressive all the same. He wanted to be a hero, like the ones in the comics his aunt got him. By the end of his training, he was a capable demon hunter and exorcist, even if he was a bit clumsy. Still, with only home schooling and a life of mostly isolation, he wasn't exactly well equipped to simply go out into the world and go exorcise demons. His mother, one Candice Hallows, gave a compromise.
With her considerable influence, Candice managed to get Kane an entry into the Warrior's of Divine Light, and although Kane may be a little out of his element, he's working hard to be like the many great heroes fighting the good cause against the demons of this world.
