Biography: Mutsu was born on a dark cloudy night to a sell sword father who was a great monster hunter who fought for the empire but refused to give up his imperial citizenship to become a member of a guild and a mother who was a member of a well known brigade known as the Erin Brigade. He was born into a matrilineal family and took his mother's last name not his father's which was because his mother was from a more influential family. He was raised in the lower sector for the first couple of years in his life due to his uncle having a falling out with his father and his mother being to far away to convince his uncle to take him back. However that was only during his infant years and he hardly remembers what it was like back then. His uncle, Erin Honda, however never truly hated his nephew in fact he always wanted to accept the boy into his own house but his father refused to do so wanting to raise the boy himself. Though his father wasn't the best one he did his best to take care of his son in the lower quarter but a couple of years later Mutsu's mother returned and convinced his uncle and his father to get along so the boy could be raised in the upper section of the city. His father returned to hunting monsters for clients soon after and his uncle and mother helped raise the boy in the capital. Mutsu's earliest memories were that of learning etiquette and noble lessons along with learning how to fight, which he excelled at in the form of shields and swords while maintaining decency with a spear and axe. His uncle drove him relentlessly but Mutsu loved him all the same for being a kind man who loved to tell jokes. His mother often read him stories of great warriors and knights. And in fact he became a beloved friend of many of the Erin Brigade's members and was often around older men and women who loved him dearly. However he never forgot one day when he and his uncle went hiking just barely outside of the barrier and he was attacked by a low level monster but was nearly crippled if it were not for his uncle and his returning father. He developed a hatred for monsters thinking them all ravenous beasts which his father's words didn't help in the least as he regaled his son of the dangers he had seen in his life time. His uncle, however told him not to take him anything a face value anyone who rushes into something risks death. His mother babied her son for a decent time afterward until his grand father told his mother to stop doing so. His grand father was an exceedingly wealthy man whom taught him respect in it's most basic form and it has stuck with him even until his adult life. Deciding he'd rather stay in the city and become a weapon smith instead of a knight, whom he had found not to be his calling, and he decided to spend some time in the lower quarter. His father was well known in the lower section and the young Mutsu found many would be friends down there and while he didn't get off to a great start with all of them he loves them all dearly. One day a Bodhi blastia was sent to him by his grand father and Mutsu refuses to acknowledge questions about it's previous owner. Mutsu has dedicated his life to helping the imperial citizens of the imperial city but he secretly has started to lust for adventure.
