Appearance
Despite his mix human-elf heritage, Kenkuroi has more of his father's elfy looks in him compared to his mother's Kemitish origins, so much that those non-elves not familiar with urm... elves, usually make the mistake of thinking Ken is a pure blooded elf, much to Ken's dismay and chagrin (Ken has a thing against elves).
Amongst the elves of Syl'rosya though, many has conclude on how he pretty much resembles his father to the extent they labeled him as a 'younger version of Llorinal', much to Ken's dismay and chagrin (Ken has a thing against his father).
Overall, the young half elf has fair and smooth olive skin (the most significant Kemite trait in him), a petite, lean and un-muscular body frame, and can fairly be described as a 'pretty boy', or more subtly, being 'handsome in a delicate manner', or more accurately, 'effeminate' as some had come to call him, much to Ken's dismay and chagrin (again).
Contradicting with his near androgynous appearance and young age, his voice is surprisingly deep, rough and very masculine.
Characteristics
As a baby, whenever he cried, his rather incompetent mother will stuff a cigarette in his mouth as a pacifier. This routine continued as he grew older plus an upgrade to a lighted cigarette. Now in his mid teens, he is a chronic smoker and has even developed a psychological reaction towards his addiction.
If he doesn’t get to smoke within a few hours he becomes emotionally unstable, constantly overreacting, easily agitated, hot tempered, reckless, restless, anxious etc. For longer periods he will fall into depression. So far his longest record is 12 candlemarks without a smoke. Cigarette in hand, Kenkuroi is much calmer, laid back even, with a constantly bored look on his face though he's hot headed and impatient still. The nicotine overload does seem to have taken its toll for the youth’s health is slowly deteriorating.
Background
Born a bastard child from an 'accident' between Shouten Hanamiki of the Shouten Family from Kirin Clan, a Kemite woman katana expert with an attitude problem, and Llorinal Mithania, Lord of Moonwillow, the rogue elf of House Mithania, the half elf lived with his mother until he reached his early teens before being delivered to the Elfhame to live with his father as 'per-contract'… whatever the agreement was.
Secrets :
House Mithania
Formerly the 5th noble House of the Syl'rosian combine.
Llorinal Mithania
Relationship: Father
The third son of Shan'tilarr Mithania and the Lord of Moonwillow Keep. Talented with the harp and a Master of Song, he and his band of Moonwillow elves were regarded as 'Mithanian renegades' since their ideals and lifestyle were the total opposite of House Mithania which at that current time, were driven by warfare and revenge. Flamboyant, carefree, entertaining, he also has a notorious reputation as Silrosia's great lover of women (and men .....or anything beautiful that has two legs).
Good times didn't last forever though, for Mithania fell prey to the twisted Combine politics, unfairly accused for treachery. On the day of the trial, Llorinal was forced to make a cruel decision, join his brothers to be sentenced to death or disown them and save himself and Moonwillow. He chosed the latter but eventually became overwhelmed by emotion and guilt. He currently still resides in Moonwillow, depressed, broken and drowning himself in alcohol, no longer the joyful and enigmatic man he once was.
Shouten clan
Sub clan of Kirin R’tol. Details yet to be known.
Shouten Hanamiki
Relationship: Mother
A Kemite woman who devoted her life to 'the way of the sword'. A katana master, extremely skilled in dual wielding katanas, has a reputed signature move; Iaijutsu or better known as the invisible katanas (a drawing move so fast, it appears as if the swords never existed). She left the clan when of age to further refine her skills as a sword-saint by seeking to duel stronger opponents. Hot tempered, brash, arrogant and proud, she had her pride and honor pricked finally, not by a stronger opponent but by an elf lord casanova, when visiting Silrosia to duel with Mithania's strongest.
Considering it dishonorable to abandon both responsibilities and a defenseless infant, she became an unwilling mother, not before ensuring the child would not be fatherless (an agreement was reached between she and Llorinal, using brute force as necessary and benefitting her style). She proved to be a terrible, terrible mother void of any motherly, and womanly instincts.
Gradually over the eras, despite the initial hatred towards this unplanned addition to her life, she developed a rather unique but close mother-son relationship more akin to that of a sister-brother type. They constantly argued, even over the pettiest of things (such as the last piece of meat on the plate), carelessly throwing the foulest of obscenities. And it became much of their daily activity to get into physical fist fights, with her always taking the opportunity to goad her son's inherited hot temper into action. Of course her son was never a match for her battle prowess.
Though it seemed or sounded like abuse, the boy did not really suffer and was well taken care off. She pampered him with food, alcohol, tobacco, toys, pets, books, anything the boy wanted (usually after a good beating up), and protected him from danger and harm, especially those related to her dangerous and reckless lifestyle. Never had she included him in any of her endeavours, refusing even to teach him the art of the katana. If one is wondering about their physical fights, they were all merely mock fights or play wrestling, where she had carefully restrained from breaking any bones or splitting any flesh. There were bruises of course, but in her perspective, those were good lessons to teach the Shouten Creed; Strength and Honor is Everything, as well as make a man out of her elvish-effeminate looking son (which annoyed her greatly as he grew older and remained pretty).
Even with a son, she had refused to give up her ambition to achieve katana perfectionism. They travelled the Empire, after having settled in a city, always she left her son alone or in the care of others for quite a period of time as she went away 'for business' (what she does exactly was never explained). Despite their decent relationship, it was made clear from the beginning, she was never meant to be a mother and he was plainly just a burden to her, and therefore, one fateful day, she 'returned' him to his father and promptly disappeared from her son's life.
No doubt she had gone to further pursue her ambition, wandering the road, continuing to challenge herself, continuing to push her limits, until she finally meets her match, or until age betrays her to lesser opponents. Either way it will be a true warrior's end indeed.
[Moonwillow] Don’t Stop The Music! - A bored Kenkuroi was fooling around with some music instruments when he encountered an enigmatic elf who taught him the basics in music as well as 'boy's love'. (Self mod)
( *cough* ooc disappearance *cough* fillers.. fillers *coughs* )
Over an era Kenkuroi remained in Moonwillow as a bum, living of whatever is left of his clan's wealth. Naturally, this has caused a little tension and concern among the remaining residents of Moonwillow. Steps and measures were taken to educate the youth regarding his position, Mithania's history and current predicament in Silrosia. Kenkuroi however chose to feint ignorance, refusing any attempt or responsibility to restore Mithania's glory, thus leading some of Moonwillow's occupants to believe either he was too young for such a task or he was as useless as his father.
Concerning relationship, it had never improved with the Lord of Moonwillow, his father, since the first meeting, while ever since his brother left for Windsinger, there had only been minimal contact.

[TAVERN] The Tattered Sails - Visiting a tavern for food, drinks, lodging and information. Met Sakura D'aron, the proprietor of The Tattered Sails who was nice enough to not charge Ken for his food and drink, and also agreed to escort him to her other Tavern, The Midnight Star for lodging ..... though she refused him his rum, bah!
Lyr, Rose, and... a Babysitter? (Kenkuroi) - Met the Vagaran, Lyr Tlansson and his baby *again*! This time however, upon Lyr's weird request and after much profanity and exchange of curses, Ken developed some sympathy towards poor sobbering Rose (the baby) and a likeness towards her sorry sod of a father (Lyr)..... much male bonding goodness to ensure.....
[LOCATION] Kerwyn's Healing Herbs and Remedies - A standoff occured as Lyr held Ken's ciggies as hostage while Ken held Rose as hostage! However a deal was finally arranged between the two! Also Rose got a nappy change!
Returning home…. With a baby and a human male - Ken returns home to Silrosia from his one cycle stay in Imperia. Along with him were some 'souvenirs' in the form of Lyr and baby Rose.
Light over music (Private) - Ken is forced to learn a trademark skill of his father's family of bards, that being Song. However, he blatantly refused and decided on Thaumaturgy out of childish spite for his father. Since Moonwillow is no longer on terms with Windsinger, the 'Thaum side' of Mithania, Ken had to learn the sphere from a priest of The Softwood Lodge, the Aetherian monastery of Syl'rosya. (Peer mod by Amber Brightwing)
What happens when you give a book and pen to a baby? (Private) - Ken went to the Nexus Prime library to pass some time while bringing baby Rose along. Little Rose was troublesome as usual, bringing much trouble to her unfortunate nanny. Refusing to pay the fine for spoiling a book, Ken was forced to replace the book by copying it! (Self mod)
[Toichos Kikkimos] The Aedila - Tagging behind Lyr as the man head towards the Aedile's Office to buy a 20-room mansion while dealing with the female secretary and her monthly temper.

[Neos Megalis] The Scarlet Bath -- Bathhouse Harem - Ken and Lyr embarked on the conquest of reaching Sexylion's infamous Bath House without getting their penises snapped and getting out of it with said thing intact (incomplete bah!).
Kalendryas|Immanis|Ponutis|Melora (Winter)
[OPEN] kill yr idols: a savage journey to the heart of the Aelyrian dream - Went to a party to freeload some alcohol, tobacco and Kero. Met a man calling himself Bowie Manhattan of Nexus Prime, supposedly some terrorist. Got high with Kero with said man, and then met a dracon (Kour'el Kha'Serith) who KSed his target! zomg! KSer! - incomplete
28'' steel blade with a black tsuba and tsuka. It is plain and dull with no designs, customizations whatsoever. Comes with a wooden sheath. The origin of the katana's name came from the fact..... it was discounted!
Plain and brown in color. Made of soft leather for its interior and hard leather for its exterior. It is sleeveless and collarless, with its fasteners on its sides, making it very easy to wear for noobies like Ken. Just bloody slip the hole over the head, and tighten the fasteners..... and voila! Ken usually wears it beneath the shirt.
On its front panel, stitched in big, bold, colorful letters were the words, 'TYRAA'S EMPORIUM NEXUS PRIME WEST SIDE PRIVATE TRADE CIRCLE'.... probably some sort of advertising, medieval style.
