[b][u]Personality:[/u][/b] 
Kiro is a pretty reserved person who may come off as rather cold and particularly abrasive, speaking only when he feels he needs to. Despite his cold outwardly demeanor, Kiro has a truly kind heart that will momentarily break his "coldness" to help someone who is need of real help. Although he is quiet and cold, Kiro is very observant, seeing things other might overlook. Kiro is also able to remain calm and collected during times of high pressure, allowing to think rationally and act accordingly. As a whole Kiro prefers to be alone as he feels its easier to be himself. When alone, Kiro often talks to himself about whatever it is he may be doing. He's also very meticulous about his stuff and its condition; if something of his isn't the way it should be he becomes very agitated until its "fixed". 

[b][u]Biography:[/u][/b]
Kiro grew up in a small house with his parents, he didn't really have much growing up due to the lack of money in his household. His parents were herbalists, they would grow and sell what little herbs they could to try and make what every money they could even if it didn't mean a lot. Kiro would help his parents out with their herbs, quickly learning what affects each of the plants had on the human body. As time passed and he got older, Kiro would come to realize that selling the herbs wasn't bringing in enough money to support the three of them.

To make up for what the herbs couldn't provide, Kiro began to thieve; stealing what he could to help feed him and his family. As he got better and better at this "art" he realized he could take things of higher value to earn the money he needed to not have to worry about if he was going to eat that night. His skill of thieving got to the point where he would get careless Thinking he was too good to get caught. Unfortunately enough for him he did get caught, not only had he put himself in this predicament he unintentionally put his parents in that same one. The towns law enforcement demanded that he repay for items he stole, since Kiro and his family didn't have much they seized all his and his families belongings forcing them onto the streets.

Luckily Kiro had family not too far away who would take time in, or so it was made to seem. When they'd gotten to the home of their relatives, they were told that Kiro was not accepted in the household for what he'd done but the others were fine to stay. Without hesitation his parents and younger sibling turned their backs on Kiro, still having resentment towards him for the circumstances he put them all in. Kiro unwillingly accepted this punishment and left to lead a life without his family in it, joining a group of other petty criminals.

This group of petty criminals soon evolved into more. They evolved into something like a group of bandits, taking what they wanted and killing those who stood in their way. As time passed with this gang of miscreants Kiro had became a talented killer, but he wasn't proud of it so he left the group to do his own thing. Although he left the group, the rumors of him being a skilled killer never subsided. Every once and a while he would have people coming up to ask him if the rumors of his killing skills were true, offering to pay him handsomely if they were. Although most of the offers were enticing, Kiro would not take them all. Instead he only took the ones he felt that were "just" ones that served "the greater good".[/centre]
