[h3]Personality[/h3]
[sub]Usually quiet and soft spoken, seeming more stoic and unmoved than he actually is. He is friendly and gentle most of the time, but when he gets into a fight he tends to be focused and competitive. He has difficulty with social situations, not due to being shy, but more because of being naive and misinterpreting people's actions and words. This is particularly problematic with him often taking things literally, and not understanding slang terms most of the time unless they are extremely obvious.

He is also extremely protective of things he cares about. Once someone is on his list of people he likes/loves, he will go to extreme lengths to ensure their safety.

Due to a lot of hardship he has endured because of them, he has a deep hatred for Dark Guilds as a whole and anyone who has joined into them. He wishes to see all of them completely wiped out, and often will have very little sympathy for anyone who is or was a part of one.[/sub]

[h3]Appearance[/h3]
[sub]Rashiku has slightly tanned skin with his more noticeable features being his snow-white hair, and bright, almost shining blue eyes. Both of which were very common in his family. The eyes would normally be brighter if any of them were capable of magic, which Rashiku ended up being.

He wears a dual-layered outfit, with the under layer kept minimalistic for freedom of movement in a fight, with the easily removed outer layer covering his arms to hide scars that he is self-conscious of, keep his identity as a guild mage hidden until necessary, and to just keep him warm as he gets cold rather easily.[/sub]

|   Guild Membership Status:   |
[indent][i]Rashiku has been with the guild for a few months, and still isn't entirely sure what to think of it yet. He has simultaneous respect and resentment towards Aiden for defeating Demon's Maw. While Rashiku is thankful, this has also denied him a chance at payback. Another reason is that he has spent most of the time adjusting his life to having a real roof over his head after a while without it. Most of his time has been spent working or practicing his magic.
Another reason of discomfort he does not blame on the guild, but he doesn't enjoy how cold White Harbor usually is.[/i][/indent]

|   History:   |
[indent][i]It has been a bit of a tough ride for most of Rashiku's life past ten years old. He was with his parents and family while they were working with a merchant and fireworks caravan. A traveling entertainment group. During the traveling the caravan was attacked by Demon's Maw, the Dark Guild after the magical items within the caravan. During the attack the fireworks were set off, causing even more destruction than intended. Rashiku was the only one of the caravan who survived, having run away after seeing his parents and brother killed by the explosion.

Afterwards he had no idea what to do. He didn't know who to reach out to for help, left without money, and an empty home. There weren't any nearby relatives that he knew of to count on, and he didn't know about any government programs that would have given him assistance at the time. For him, he believed his only option was to join a magic guild to get free board and maybe some food. At the very least, a place he could work to earn it. He went searching and found himself accepted into a guild named Chimera Mane, after the guild master took some pity on him and let him work in the kitchen to earn his keep while he studied.

Five years later, Rashiku was actually rather happy in his place at Chimera Mane. He had made a good number of friends, and even more friendly acquaintances. A girl named Ami in particular was someone who he spent a lot of time with. Enjoying her company the most. It didn't last though. Demon's Maw attacked, again, Chimera Mane during the night. Many, many members of the guild were killed, with the main goal having appeared to have been the higher ups. The guild master, and those following who could have taken his place, had been wiped out. With the loss of all the higher members, the guild disbanded.

Rashiku stayed in company with Ami after that as the two tried to find a new guild to call home. Despite their prowess as mages, the two found themselves being rejected by guild after guild. A rumor having started that Chimera Mane had been in league with Demon's Maw until some sort of fallout. The two were seen as too much of a risk, that they may still possibly have ties to the dark guild in some way. Rashiku had wanted to destroy Demon's Maw for all the suffering they had caused him and those he cared for, along with continuing to haunt him with this rumor. Despite his desires though, getting a home and food and a place to stay was far more important.

For nearly a year and a half the two traveled around only managing to make the bare minimum with odd jobs here and there. Always without a more than temporary home. Eventually though they heard about Demon's Maw having been wiped out, and later that the man who did so had created a guild. Rashiku was hesitant but Ami convinced him to travel with her there to give it one more shot of finding a guild to call home. Admittedly he was also curious to meet who had wiped out the Dark Guild that had hurt him so much. They were accepted into the guild and have been there since, with Rashiku still a bit unsure about how well he fits in.[/i][/indent]
|   Magic:   |
[indent][i]Charge Magic : Rashiku uses a lightning-elemented magic where he 'charges' his electricity into objects by touch. This can be both for attacks, and for other uses like charging his own body with electricity. He has learned to use this to allow him to move sporadically as if he were a bolt of electrical energy himself, along with allowing him much faster reflexes as when charged into his eyes, it makes the world seem to move slower.
While he usually uses charge on himself as a passive, he can, if opportunity arises, conduct an electrical charge through an object that will accept it to hit an opponent. Such as getting into a sword lock and then sending a charge into the opponent's armor with his hand while they are distracted.[/i][/indent]
|   Strengths and Weakness:   |
[indent][i]Strengths:
Swordsmanship - Using both his family's style and his own techniques, Rashiku is highly talented in using swords. His style is based around momentum-powered strikes to overwhelm an opponent, along with always being on the move to dodge and counter. Often he'll feint an opening to force an opponent to attack, only to avoid the blow and take advantage of the new, actual opening.

Physical Abilities - Rashiku is extremely fast, having trained himself mostly in speed. However his toughness, athleticism, and strength are all well above average as well.

Drawing - Started as a hobby, Rashiku draws very well. He could likely be a successful Manga Artist if he wished so long as someone else wrote the story content for him.

Weaknesses:
Charisma - The boy has a lot of trouble when it comes to understanding other people. Not so much trouble getting along, as he's generally non-combative, however really connecting is often difficult. He often doesn't understand or catch slang, nor know how to respond with it. There has been a few times where he has been insulted while he fully missed it and didn't realize. Often he will answer questions with unintentional lack of information, believing that he has explained himself properly. Joining a guild with a reason "I need money", is what he is more likely to say than stating the true gravity of his situation.

Strobelight - Jolting around with Charge Magic feels like one is flashing between one point and another near instantly. With a flash of light to the user every time they do it. It is like strobing in and out of reality at a rapid speed. Rashiku has trained a lot to lessen the effects of this, and slowing down his perception does help, however the power can still be quite disorienting if he isn't careful. It can be easy to lose track of where he is if he doesn't gather himself or plan his movements out.

Focused Mind - Often Rashiku can get tunnel-visioned with a goal and not think about all the best ways to solve it. He isn't stupid or overly reckless, but if a friend were kidnapped or similar, he would be very unlikely to take the time to make a plan. Opting instead to charge right into an obvious trap to get his friend back.

Unmoving Thermostat - Rashiku is a big wuss when it comes to temperature. In either direction. He is comfortable at about 60 degrees to 75. Anything higher or lower and he starts wanting to complain or be anywhere else. Not enough of a weakness to make him any more 'in-danger' than normal people when fighting people who use high or low temperature magic like fire or ice. But he may be more generally uncomfortable with the environment they create and want to end the fight faster.

|   Miscs :   |
[indent][i]He has many scars on his body, and he doesn't like showing them. He'll never want to be in public without clothes, even going so far as to swim with a shirt on out of being self-conscious.

While in the cold White Harbor, he seems to want to heat up all his food and drinks. Going for hot tea, hot cocoa, steamed vegetables, and hot soup. Avoids ice cream like the plague.
