Name: Koji Darklight (actual name is just Ken. No surname. Just. Ken. Let no one tell you otherwise.)
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Appearance:
My arrows, forged in the greatest depths of the lands, will always find their ma- hey, wait, where are you going?.Personality:
With a tendency towards the theatrical, Koji can only be described as... Well, a delusional kid who never grew out of his habits. Though his accuracy is top-notch, Koji's inability to keep those delusions in check make him a pain for most people to deal with. Though he acts like something he clearly isn't, Koji never actually expects people to play along. If they
believe him, then he ends up getting flustered and ends up in a state of disbelief more often than not before trying to find a way out of the hole he just dug himself into. More often than not, this simply ends up making the problem BIGGER, and sooner or later everything compounds and he's forced to come clean.
Or, well, just ditch town for a while and let things cool down instead.
Abilities:
Koji is an amazing sharpshooter, though his accuracy is decreased when dual-wielding (and firing) his crossbows simultaneously. He is also surprisingly mobile, able to scale things like large trees or boulders in order to get good vantage points on his targets or dodge slower attacks.
Thanks to being raised in an inn, Koji's also a decent chef, both in AND out of the kitchen. This would be great, if it wasn't for the fact that he can't catch any game because of how he always announces his attacks before they go off... Which usually means that the animals are off and running well before he can shoot them.
Because of his limited funds, though, Koji has also become somewhat obsessed with collecting all the bolts he's fired after a mission is over, simply to skimp on any funds that would involve him having to buy more in the future.
Notable Equipment, Traits, etc;:
Equipment:
Crossbows: Koji dual-wields a pair of automatic crossbows, one red and one blue, that magically reload their bolts. He has taken to calling them 'Phoenix' and 'Dragon,' respectively; made of what seems to be mana-infused steel, the bowstring never seems to wear down on either weapon. No, they don't change the bolts in any ways; they just reload automatically.
Mask: Actually just a mask that someone was selling at a festival. Koji concluded that it was imbued with a special power, but it's actually just a normal mask.
Bolts: Yes. he has bolts. To fire. From his crossbow. Normal bolts. They're not magic. He's lying through his teeth when he says they are.
Traits:
Chuuni: Living in a world of fantasy where stories of heroes and villains pervaded every nook and cranny of his life, it's a wonder that he didn't grow out of it and see it as the norm like every other person his age. Koji adds flair and drama to a lot of what he does, and overdramaticizes the mundane more often than not. He's capable of speaking normally, of course, but that's no fun.
Knowledge of Useless Trivia: As a byproduct of his chuuni nature, Koji knows a
lot of random bits and pieces of mythology that may or ma not ever be of use. A majority of it is, in fact, also a product of his imagination, so take his blathering with a grain of salt.
Actor: Because of his theatrics, Koji's actually a damn good actor when not going full chuuni. Whenever he gets coerced into a performance, the kids
love him and his acts.
Easily Caught Off Guard: Self-explanatory, but this applies to daily life just as much as it does his behavior. Many times, Koji loses himself in his own thoughts on whatever his subject-of-the-day is. As a result, his lapse in awareness becomes mindbogglingly huge.
History:
Born to the owners of an inn in a town somewhere out west, Koji grew up surrounded by stories of adventure and of grandeur. While his older sister grew up relatively normally, Koji became enraptured in this world that was basically just outside of his reach. His parents, being the sensible people that they were, wanted him to take a safe job in the town instead of going out to adventure. His sister shared their sentiments, offering to help him find something else he liked that wouldn't put his life at risk.
Of course, Koji would have none of that. As time passed, his parents (at the behest of his uncle, who Koji convinced with a few bottles of wine on the sly) decided to let him travel the world, hoping it'd get the delusions out of his system. With a pair of crossbows that he picked up with almost all of his savings over the past decade, Koji left home to travel south, the first stop on his "adventure into the unclaimed wilds."
Other: Is an adventurer, but makes more money babysitting for people than ACTUALLY adventuring. Works part-time at a daycare to help entertain kids.
