Male
Brief Physical Description:
Reshiro is five feet eleven inches in height and weighs one hundred and forty pounds. His hair is grey in color that seems to shift in hue with the light; in bright light it is paler and in dim light it is darker. Like his hair, his eyes are grey in color. In his right eye instead of a pupil he has his regimentβs symbol (his eye still works normally and see picture below for the symbol). Naturally fair, his skin is nevertheless tanned by work outdoors. His ears are pierced and he wears earrings made out of bear claws. He has a fair amount of scars, being first a farm boy and then a soldier, the most notable being a couple inch long one on his right arm. For clothing he typically wears light armor and loose, comfortable clothing underneath.
Personality:
Honest || Compassionate || Stubborn || Gullible
Determined to do the right thing, Reshiro has a strong sense of morals and serves what he considers the greater good. He usually puts others before himself and has a trusting nature, at times even too trusting. He is one to try to include everyone in the group, even if he personally doesnβt like everyone. For him everyone has their strengths, and it is easier to reach goals if you take advantage of everyoneβs strengths. While he is not one to praise another, he will do favors for and try to spend time with those he respects.
He can seem a bit snobbish at times because of his insistence on doing the right thing, and the right thing by his standards. Because he had lived with people who have had the same standards as he had for years, he forgets that there are other ways of looking at the world. When he catches himself doing this and remembers that not everyone is from the same walk of life he tends to be much more open with his viewpoints. He is one to think ahead and think strategically when working towards goals. He realizes that it is easier to get something done when there are multiple people working at a job, and he can be intent on getting to know the people who he works with so he can assign them to the jobs that he thinks they will do well at.
Reshiro was born on a farm in the nation of Pellidar. Like every child in every law-abiding Pellidarian family when he was seven years old he was brought to the local government house and his natural magic was cut from him. Like most children he survived the cutting but unlike with most children the nagging, empty feeling did not go away after the first few weeks as was usual. As he lived on a farm he had plenty of work to keep him distracted from that feeling of absence, that indescribable feeling of something gone, but it never quite disappeared. Yes, he knew that everyone except the lucky few got their magic cut to power the Kanth Stones, so he was normal, but he couldnβt adjust to living without that natural part of him. He never told his family, because he never linked the feeling to having been cut. He suspected, yes, but he wasnβt sure. It was strange, too, for one to not recover from being cut, and he didnβt want to seem abnormal.
Reshiro joined the Pellidar army at the age of fifteen. He decided he didnβt want to live his life as a farmer. Something also caught his eye: people were being recruited for a new type of regiment. They would be given magic again. Wanting to try to fill the void he had been feeling for years, Reshiro signed up for the special regiment. He found out after he signed up that the difference treatment of this regiment was different than others in more than the gaining of magic, but he didnβt care.
He was accepted into the regiment along with twenty four other people. They were brought to the Sage Mages, the heads of the Pellidarian government. The Mages exposed the new regiment to the Kanth Stones and used the power within the stones to rewrite them. They were given a strong sense of morals and want to help others and their ability to lie was taken away. They were each given magic of a sort as well. In Reshiroβs case this magic was both the ability to rapidly heal from wounds and exceptionally good endurance. When put to the test Reshiro found he could comfortably run nonstop for five days without food, water, or sleep. His healing capabilities worked best when he ate and slept like a normal person, so he did so when he can. Likewise, Reshiro had longer endurance when he didnβt have to heal from an injury.
Together the new regiment named themselves the Kathalan Regiment and decided on a symbol to represent them. The Mages made it so they had this symbol in their right eyes instead of their pupils. Thus the Kathalan regiment trained together and fought highwaymen and thieves and such. Then a country called Inglade invaded Pellidar. Inglade did not have the same practice of cutting magic from its people that Pellidar did. Thus, while Pellidar had a few extremely powerful mages, Inglade had hundreds, if not thousands, of relatively weak ones.
The Mages sent the Kathalan Regiment on a mission to seek help from other countries. They were pursued by Inglade soldiers, however, and they were eventually attacked. They were quickly overpowered. Some of the Kathalan regiment were taken prisoner, others were killed. Reshiro was left for dead. In fact, he was near dead, but his healing capabilities saved him. The lone man left for his mission, he continued on, hoping to find a people who were willing to ally themselves with Pellidar.
