[b]Skills:[/b] More of a straight fighter than anything else, Rei often prefers the simplicity of cutting his enemies asunder with his blade. He does, however, still possess a certain amount of Darkness inside him, due perhaps to prolonged exposure to the Heartless he has devoted his life to hunting.

[b]Personality:[/b] Rei is almost always straight and to the point, never caring much for mincing words or beating around the bush. People often interpret his bluntness as coldness when they first meet him, but he is in fact not as cold as he may seem. His life as The Hunter is a sort of double edged sword. On one hand, he is the city's only true protection against the Heartless, but on the other, he is always surrounded by them and endures prolonged exposure to the Darkness as a result. This doesn't necessarily justify his seemingly cold and apathetic behavior, but it does go a long way in explaining where it comes from at the very least.

[b]Bio:[/b] Rei wasn't always The Hunter. After all, The Hunter has been protecting the city since the Heartless first appeared, and that was long before Rei was ever born. In truth, many people have been called The Hunter over the years, becoming the city's protector when they become chosen by The Hunter's weapon, the Keyblade. Rei's predecessor was his grandfather, who eventually became overcome by the dark forces he was battling against. A grim fate, but one shared by virtually everyone who has wielded the Keyblade as The Hunter, since battling so close to the Darkness carries with it the risk of being swallowed by it. Originally, Rei's father was supposed to inherit the Keyblade, but he adamantly refused it, not wishing to suffer the same fate. So instead the Keyblade chose a 12-year-old Rei. Both Rei and his father learned to wield a blade from Rei's grandfather since a young age, so when the Keyblade came to Rei he at least knew how to use as a sword properly, but everything after that was a trial by fire. His grandfather taught him some things about the Heartless, but never taught Rei any of his advanced skills. Rei would have to figure those out on his own, and to this day is still trying to master some of them.

[B]Name:[/B] City of Shadows
[B]Summary of History:[/B] It is a timeline where the world seems to developed into a single, large city spanning it's entire landmass. It also seems to be perpetually nighttime in this city, which is undoubtedly how it earned its name. Heartless stalk the dark alleyways and other dangerous hotspots, preying on their victims and multiplying as a result. However, the city has also been under the protection from a being known simply as The Hunter. For as long as the city itself has existed, The Hunter has watched over it, using his mysterious weapon, the Keyblade, to destroy the Heartless wherever he may find them.

[B]Overall Technology Level:[/B] The City of Shadows is a pretty standard modern metropolis. Cars, skyscrapers, almost like something out of a Film noir.
