Kain (born as Gyeh) Warheit was born to Meh'ty and Mau Warheit in a small forest village called Gugune, whose ruling deity is a Time God named Chronos. From a young age, he was fascinated with glamour and illusion magic, picking it up at an early age and taking it with him for the rest of his life to come; honing it and becoming proficient in it. At just ten years old, he was recruited along with others, including his childhood friend Maeh'g, to be ambassadors for their deity, traveling different lands and across universes to recruit new followers to Chronos. Chronos gifted him with the ability to easily travel between worlds and universes and instructed him to travel to as many places as he could. So he did. Starting off so young, he barely knew where to start or what to do, but this was the will of his god, and so he threw herself into the unknown with Maeh'g, figuring they had better chances by sticking together.
By thirteen, he was witness to his first war: the civil war of the Humans and Mykiwes in Lensay. Here, he would be cared for by a man named Baba and a woman named Cirama. Though his young heart wanted to help, both refused to let him be active in the war. They did, however, teach him valuable skills such as swordplay and healing spells. Both were flabbergasted that any god could send a mere child out into the world at such a young age with virtually nothing. It was during this time that Kain and Maeh'g also separated, choosing to go on two separate paths to widen their search of worlds. Kain stayed under their care for two years.
By fifteen, he moved on from Lensay and met a young boy his age named Zek, finding him in the city of Moulin à Vent Rouge. Though young, his skills in the world of thieves was renowned. When meeting Kain, he offered to teach him the skills of a thief as they began to bond with one another. He accepted and together they traveled far and wide in search of exotic treasures. It was during his travels with Zek, did Kain start to uncover hidden, ancient truths about his god, Chronos, and began to question his ways and his teachings--a lot of what he learned in his time away from Gugune did not reflect what he was taught growing up and this deeply upset him.
By eighteen, Kain returned to Gugune, hardened from his years of travel and grown, and having much to say to his "god". He announced his cease and desist from spreading his word and called him out on his lies and hypocrisies. Angered, Chronos stripped away Kain's ability to world travel, cursed him with infertility (so as to never continue her "wretched bloodline"), and cast him out, shoving him off into a random world far from Gugune.
After being cast out, he landed in Zanimasy. Having only the clothes on his back, a knife at his waist, and no way to go anywhere he could call home, he struggled out in the streets. His salvation came in the form of a man named Dyen: Grandmaster of a secret clan of assassins. While trying to pickpocket him and, failing to do so, tried to attack, he admired his handiwork. He could see he had potential so he took him in to his clan and trained him personally, honing his skills and discipline. Kain stayed there for many years before being found again by Afynt and Cirama. The two took him back to where he would now call home but he would not forget his time in Zanimasy.
Over the months, Kain and Afynt developed a new way to world travel and, with his help and knowledge, became successful in creating their own way to travel worlds. Now, Kain was back on his feet and ready to explore for his own sake of wanting to visit and learn as much as he could. He's met many people and been to many places over the years since being cast out from Gugune. While he still occasionally adventures, he's made his own home now in Sallenata, where he focuses on his own life and perfecting his illusion magic skills. (Nowadays he uses his illusions for his own sake or as a quick defense/getaway if ever in a sticky situation while traveling!)
Kain is a light skinned half-elf with pointed ears. He has heterochromia with his right eye being red and his left eye being gold. He has short, deep blue hair (natural). When he's relaxing at home, he tends to wear heavy metal band t-shirts, jeans, and combat boots. When he's out adventuring, he wears a black tunic outfit that's red lined and has a hood; with the right arm being torn off. He wears boots, gauntlets, and has a half breast plate on the ride side with the symbol of a gold dragon with a red gemstone for the eye.
Kain is bubbly and full of energy! He's kind and loyal to a fault and can be quick with a few jokes or light teasing. But don't let his cheerful demeanor fool you--when he needs to be, he can be quite serious! While it takes some pushing, when he's mad, he can be lethal. For the most part though he's easy going and just wants to be friends with everyone.
Alyx: Best friend and housemate. A sea dragon capable of taking on a human form. Kain rescued him from poachers out on the Uidad peninsula. From there, he would visit the same beach nearly every day until they started to bond. Now, they're inseparable.
Baba: A red-maned lion male Mykiw that took him in during a period of time during his stay in the country of Lensay. A cleric and cook in the Mykiw and Human civil war, he taught him light healing spells and some of his most famous recipes. Even to this day, he still refers to him as an "Uncle" of sorts, visiting often when he's not busy at home.
Cirama: A white wolf female Mykiw that also took him in during her stay in Lensay. They formed such a close bond with each other during her months there that they now refer to each other as siblings, with Cirama being the eldest sibling. Cirama taught Kain how to properly fight with a sword and even some hand-to-hand combat skills.
Cryt'Uf: A shape shifting shadow being, Kain had summoned this creature (prefers a male identity) during a time of need after defecting from Gugune and Chronos. They formed a pact and bond with each other and now he permanently resides in Kain's shadow. He tends to get into whatever media he's into and copies some forms of different art and designs he likes. He's a great tracker for any missions he's on.
Ruben: A forest dragon capable of taking on human form, he feels he owes a great debt and servitude to Kain for his rescue. Being passed from master to master, he was being sold in the city of Moulin à Vent Rouge when Kain came around to offer the highest bid. Afterwards, he simply set him free, wanting nothing from him. Moved by his kind heart, he chose to stay by him as a friend. Now, he acts as a guardian to him and others.
Zek: Also known as the "Prince of Bandits" due to his recognizable skill, they met when they were young and he taught Kain the skills he would need to start his own path to becoming a rogue. He was also his first love interest but, due to needing to travel, nothing became of it. They still communicate to this day as they can however. He nicknamed Kain his "Prince" as well, adding on to the theme of the name given to him. Together, they were a force not to be reckoned with.
Afynt: A potion maker from another world, his home was destroyed by the ancient beings simply referred to as "World Eaters". Kain rescued him and a few others, transporting them back to his world mere moments before doom. With no where else to go, he, Kain, and Cirama decided to set up shop in Kain's current home world and build a community for those lost or whose homes have been taken over by World Eaters. He also worked with Kain and developed a strange new way to universe travel through sigils and conjuring.
Dyen: Grandmaster of an assassin tribe, he picked Kain off of the streets in Zanimasy, impressed with his skills in stealth and combat. But with Dyen, Kain could hone his skills even further, growing as an assassin by trade. He served for a few years under Dyen before going off on his own once again, taking his own path in life, yet still being indebted to Dyen and his clan.
Alexia: A shapeshifter (prefers a female identity) slave that was passed around the market and sold to the most depraved of men to fulfill their darkest fantasies. Finding her up on the auction block and seeing her demeanor, Kain couldn't help but feel pity, slaughtering her former "master" and taking her for himself. However, Kain only wishes for her freedom, but Alexia still has yet to break free of the mindset of a slave and waits for anything Kain would ask of her.
Dephyn: A hawk male Mykiw that was given a home through the efforts of Afynt and company, he also doubles as Kain's personal mailer and messenger. He appears to be blind but in reality he can see just fine. Not much is known about him or his home life since he refuses to speak on the subject but he enjoys working for Kain.
Maeh'g: A childhood friend of his, they grew up in the same village and were sent out to do Chronos's bidding at the same time. While Kain ended up defecting from the Time God, Maeh'g did not. Regardless, this did not deter their friendship and they remain good friends to this day, albeit sparse in communication with one another.
--> What is a Mykiw? A mykiw is a race that is part human and part animal--a fusion of two souls into one. Mykiwes generally take on some appearance of their animal side while in human form (mostly tails and ears, perhaps a few other traits in certain cases like markings) and they range in species. Mykiwes can freely shift between human and animal form at will.
