His own anxieties and self-consciousness regarding his longstanding injury and personal role within the Masaki family have bred within him, for the most part, a docile and passive personality. He does as he is asked without much question, which has served him well in his role as an apprentice physician.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=SILVER][b]Studious[/b] [COLOR=#807B84]Kenichi has spent a lot of time being instructed in the medicinal arts, and perhaps even more time watching and participating in some form of fashion. He is always curious, however, and does whatever he can to learn more and refine his skills.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=SILVER][b]Spiteful Ambitiousness[/b] [COLOR=#807B84]Dormant and underlying some of Kenichi's motivations to become an apprentice physician is his desire to accomplish all that he can in spite of his circumstances. He wants to become a better physician than his mother in spite of the belief when he was young that he would be worthless, and wants to prove that he is not some unlucky curse upon the Masaki family.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [/SUP][/indent][/hider] [hider=// SKILLSET][indent][SUB][b]S K I L L S E T[/b][/sub] [sup][COLOR=SILVER][b]Triage[/b] [COLOR=#807B84]Kenichi has developed a decent understanding of treating various small injuries sustained through hard labor. He is skilled, both through sign and more traditional methods, in cleaning and dressing wounds. He can even, if steadied himself, help reset dislocated or broken bones.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=SILVER][b]Medicinal Treatments[/b] [COLOR=#807B84]While Kenichi has a great interest in his mother's specialization of creating various medicinal treatments, Kenichi is still a novice. He can create very basic tonics and cures for minor ailments.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=SILVER][b]Diagnosis[/b] [COLOR=#807B84]Being a physician's apprentice, a lot of his training in recent years has been in diagnosing various ailments and being able to recognize signs of the diseases that tend to spread within the community of Heiseina and the surrounding hamlets. He can't diagnose complex diseases, or even truly grasp the complexities of his own persisting injury.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [/SUP][/indent][/hider] [/cell][cell][b]Physical Description[/b] [color=#807B84][indent]Kenichi, at first, is physically unremarkable. He stands at around 5' 6", and is rather skinny. He lacks any clear muscle mass, though his upper body strength has been improved greatly as he has been unable to rely on his legs as much as he had in the past. He has a crop of brown hair that is usually somewhat unkempt, and he wears finely crafted warm clothes in layers (since he tends to get cold fairly easily). His striking blue eyes and angular face (helped, in part, by his lean diet) are stunning, but his expressions are often stoic or somewhat distant. He is never seen without his trusty wooden crutch, painstakingly carved by his father, and often carries a small pouch with his pain medicine for when his nerves start acting up. [/indent][/color] [b]Character Conceptualization[/b] [color=#807B84][indent]Kenichi was born as the older twin of Mako into the prominent Masaki family. Hanako and Akio were pleased to have twins, and hoped that in these two children they could instill their values. Hanako was Heiseina's second physician, serving under her mother-in-law (and therefore Kenichi's grandmother). She wished to instill in her daughter a love for medicine and treating the community's ailments. Akio, an herbalist and outdoorsman who helped to support his wife and mother's practice, was a more adventurous and wild soul at heart. He was excited to have a son he could take out into the valley to find rare medicinal herbs and take in the sights. Perhaps he would even take up an interest in hunting. Kenichi, however, was far too sickly of a child to go out adventuring and exploring. He spent a lot of his childhood at home, watching his mother work and asking far too many questions. He developed his father's curious spirit, but his curiosity was geared towards why he always felt so feverish and sick. His mother was pleased to have her son take such an interest in her work, given Mako seemed far too interested in what was in the valley and the woods. It even helped to have another set of hands around, as she herself was born with only one arm. Kenichi, by the age of 10, had clearly been marked as the next Apprentice Physician when his grandmother passed away. He spent 2 years learning the basics of cleaning and tending to wounds, to help take some of the burden off of his mother. He had very steady hands, and had a penchant for stitching or bandaging up wounds. Around the age of 13, Kenichi began to study his first sign: restore. It took him around 20 months to learn his first sign, but was pleased when he had finally gained the ability to begin speeding along the process of wound closure. He continued learning the basics of tending to wounds and beginning to develop a better understanding of diagnosing diseases for a few years. When they were 15, Mako finally began to learn the purify sign as well. With Mako studying full time, Akio took this opportunity to try and bond more with his growing son. Akio took Kenichi out on a small hunting trip. Of course... Kenichi was always the one to try and please those around him. He wasn't a particularly strong or athletic child, having a rather gaunt figure due to his intense studying and rather sickly demeanor for much of his life. When Akio suggested Kenichi finally climb a tree while he was still young, Kenichi obliged without much thought. Kenichi climbed higher and higher, struggling and sweating his way up. His heart was pounding so loud he couldn't really hear his father shouting for him to get down and that he was joking. Of course, Kenichi did hear the squawking of a giant eagle passing nearby, and his feet slipped in his startled state. Kenichi had seen people with broken bones, and people who had injured themselves falling from a decent height. His mother had reminded him, time and time again, what not to do. But in his startled state of fear, Kenichi's right leg locked into place as he fell to the ground. He couldn't really remember what happened after that. The next week was just fever dreams and pain. His leg had practically been shattered, and setting it appropriately was a great challenge. The weak Kenichi grew a bit weaker over the course of those months he spent at home trying to do his best not to move his leg. The leg healed remarkably well, all things considered. But Kenichi still has to walk around with a crutch and a limp everywhere he goes. He can't carry heavy things, run quickly, or climb well. Granted, this doesn't bother Kenichi too much in the grand scheme, given his implicit fear of the wildlife of the valley that is associated with the incident. All the time bedridden and immobile gave Kenichi plenty of time to delve deeper into his studies. Time not spent relearning how to walk with his injury and succumbing to the white hot pain coursing through his leg was spent learning about diagnosing diseases and learning more about how to create his own pain medicine. At the age of 17, Kenichi began learning his second sign: Purify. He finds it both helpful in the preparation of some medicines, but also in combination with restore to help clean wounds. Kenichi, a young adult now, is still haunted in part by his own limitations and his desire to surpass people's expectations of him. He is someone who desires to improve himself despite his current condition, and yet finds himself limited severely by chronic pain and a somewhat lame leg. He lives a slightly isolated lifestyle, but wants to learn and grow to be more of a member of the community as a whole than just "Doctor Lame Leg." His isolated lifestyle petrifies him with fright at the thought of conflict, either physical or verbal... which is something he will almost certainly have to confront moving forward if he's going to help cleanse his home.[/indent][/color] [b]Other Information[/b] [color=#807B84][indent] Signs: [i]Purify:[/i] Casting Purify will make something safe to consume for the caster.
