[b]Name:[/b] Kaiden Belzer

[b]Age:[/b] 

[b]Gender:[/b] Male

[b]Faction/Allegiance:[/b] Partially to Leviathan, mostly to himself

[b]Relic Description:[/b] [url=http://www.notonthehighstreet.com/system/product_images/images/001/272/515/original_bell-necklace.jpg]

A slightly tarnished brass bell necklace that gives Kaiden the ability to manipulate and create soundwaves. The relic allows him, as a secondary effect, to create ultrasound waves to bolster his echolocation skills. He also noticed that he can amplify or decline the volume of sounds, but only if the sounds around him are not disruptive and non-rhythmic (such as someone suddenly screeching in the middle of a crowd), and he is not distracted while in the process; volume manipulation will need a significant amount of focus to make it work, and if he gets interrupted, he has to start all over. Its other capabilities are not known yet, as he has not been able to utilize its full potential due to his ignorance of Relics and its powers.

Appearance: (Kaiden has green eyes, will have a dark, earth colored satchel belt decorates his hips, which keep his black, leather trousers on his waist, while holding twelve of his throwing knives and two of his steel short swords. There are also leather shin guards for his legs, complete with worn and torn leather boots. He stands at around 6’0”, and has a lean, yet muscular build.)

Flaws: (The more, the merrier)

Skills: Kaiden has a rather magnetic pull on his soft words and gentle voice. He is quite the charmer, for both men and women alike, and his approachable demeanor adds to this quality. None of his previous partners, however, can rule out his skills in bed, and all of them like to recommend a more “hands-on” experience rather than just a show and tell. ;) His impeccable hearing also makes for great auditory learning and memory, so he can often recall things said to him at the snap of a finger or two. He has mastered echo location for his nearby surroundings, and oftentimes has no trouble whatsoever getting around places as long as he possesses a producer of sound, or a walking stick. Poisons aren’t his biggest forte, but he knows minor ones that, when striking an opponent, causes them to feel light-headed and become feverish after about twenty minutes if they actively do combat with him. He also has very little problems being sneaky, silent, and discreet.

[b]Biography:[/b] Kaiden is the adopted son of a pair of humble bell makers who ran a semi-prosperous shop in the small, uncharted village of Yorstrum, near the hills of Ovesh. They found him, a young, abandoned, wrinkled mess of flesh, wrapped around a fishnet and hung loosely around the lowest branch of a tree like a sick, pathetic attempt at a joke for the bears and panthers that roamed the forests. Feeling extremely sorry for the poor infant, they took him under their care despite the fact that their taking in another member of the family would put a significant strain on their reasonably comfortable lifestyle.

The boy was born blind, unable to see the multiple shades of color within the world; his older brother, Oswald, who was five years old at the time that Kaiden was one and a half, noticed his disability when he tried to deter his attention from a the inviting face of a brick wall. Oswald tried to step in front of him and wave his hands “No”, but the lad simply bumped into him instead and fell onto his bottom. The elder shook both hands frantically for a while, from side to side and in a circle, in front of the younger, but neither his eyes nor head moved whatsoever. Oswald ran to his father to report his observations, worrying that Kaiden might’ve been hurt because of his non-responsiveness. The man went to investigate this strange behavior, and tried to get the attention of his younger son by taking a wooden spoon and waving it in front of his assumed field of vision: no attempt to grab the object, and neither did his eyes nor expression even hint that he saw them at all. However, when their father picked up a small dinner-time bell from the table and rung it softly a little ways away from his ear, the child immediately perked up and responded by hobbling in the direction of the sound. This discovery struck the father by immense surprise, and the realization that he knew nothing about how to care for a boy with a vision disability made him greatly anxious, and went to discuss the matter with his wife. They decided to put the woman’s small brass bell necklace, passed down from her father, around his neck in case he lost his way as a temporary solution to his navigation problems. That way, if he did stray too far from the guiding reach of his parents, they could easily find and lead him back to safety. Never did they realize that this small, seemingly insignificant trinket would be the key to transform him into an individual above and beyond their initial expectations.

Over the years Kaiden grew up to be a gentle and friendly young boy. His echolocations developed immensely and he was able to establish an audio map of his surroundings through the constant sound pings emitted by his loosely hanging bell necklace. In fact, he even became a big asset to his parents’ store, as his higher sensitivity to sound greatly helped the bell crafters in fine tuning their products more accurately. The couple often took caravan rides to trade with the wealthier Da-Hyuni, and because of his contributions to the growth of their success, they often took him along and left the disgruntled, highly jealous Oswald to hold the front at home. In fact, the elder brother got so envious of all the attention his younger sibling received, and demanded that he come along on the next planned trip. Ignorant of the reason for his outburst, the parents happily let him come along, and wondered why he didn’t express his desires in the first place.

When they were halfway through the Da-Hyuni port trade route, bandits ambushed and attacked their caravan. They descended from the trees, slaughtered their horses and rider, and bound and dragged the family out of the vehicle and into the middle of a small clearing. They discussed openly between themselves about how they should deal with the group; a lot of bickering issued back and forth, from hanging the group by the trees for the bears and panthers, to throwing them into a river with their limbs tied together. Suddenly, the snapping, arguing voices came to a quiet hush, as a female figure made her way to the middle of the bandit circle. Most of the men stood at least a head taller than her, but the hard, weathered edges of her face, her fierce auburn hair, and her astonishing three-lined scar that ran deep across her face melded together to display a commanding, dominating aura. With authoritative strides, she silently looked at each of the family with a judging, condescending glare. A couple moments later, she positioned herself in the middle of the group, and opened her mouth to announce a verdict. Suddenly, however, Kaiden inched himself forward on his knees as best as he could, turned to face the leader of the bandits, and courageously offered himself as a to-be-warrior on their clan. The men exploded with mocking laughter, and the woman simply shoved the boy to the side with her foot, completely unamused, and commanded her subordinates to hang them by the necks as a treat for the lions. Undeterred, the boy threw himself upon the ground between the outlaws and his family and blocked their entry. He begged and he pleaded, and told them that he would grind his bones to the ground in training just so that his family would live. He declared, word after word, his promise of unparalleled dedication to the clan’ name; the lower bandits found his persistence to be annoying, and moved to chop his puny head off, but the head brigand thought his determination and almost suicidal bravery to be an admirable and useful trait. She decided to take him up on his offer, and unbound his family to be set free. His parents and brother tried to change the conditions of the bargain, but the bandit leader threatened them with total slaughter. With much reluctance and guilt in their hearts, they left fate to decide the future of their dearest son.

[b]Personality/motivation:[/b] Kaiden is generally a very gentle and kind man. He’s also a friendly guy who likes to get along with and get to know other people. In addition, he’s a guy who likes the feel of a touch – he might come off as “weird” to some people who are not used to his disregard for physical personal space. He tends to be very polite, rarely cussing, and tends to try and deliver his point as straight, honest and concise as possible. If he can’t find a word he’s looking for to accurately describe his words, he can get a little stuck in his word search and can blank out on occasion. Snapping his fingers together helps him think better when he’s a little lost, though.

As nice of a guy as he is, he doesn’t particularly care whole-heartedly for others that are outside his circle of friends or family. Sure, he might come off as friendly, but if something bad happens to someone who he considers a stranger or an acquaintance, he isn’t disturbed at all; anyone who is not of close, emotional distance within him, he considers disposable and unimportant. Even though he may act really friendly, he is wary of people he hasn’t met before, and will take ample steps to observe their words and meanings, and their behaviors, and use these against them in case they turn out to be enemies; he is particularly brutal to anyone who crosses his path, despite the fact that he tries to avoid conflict.

He has a soft spot for animals, but despises children; he does a very good job of hiding it, though. He thinks arrogant people are a funny thing: they are simply about to burst at the seams being full of themselves, ready to pop with a single touch of a sharp, candid tongue. He is not intimidated by them, or most anything except the few dark things that can reach the far back, shadowy crevices of his mind. On the other hand, he thinks people who belittle themselves sincerely are quite annoying, and should get a self-esteem check and develop one, or shut up.
