Appearance
Kaito is a lean, slate-colored Tabaxi with charcoal stripes. They wear a tattered, dust-covered traveler's haori over simple linen wraps. Two plain shortswords hang at their hip, lacking any decorative guards. Their eyes are a piercing, analytical yellow.
Mannerisms
They speak in short, rhythmic sentences and always look at a person's hands rather than their face.
Personality
Kaito is a creature of few words and constant movement. They treat combat like calligraphy, focusing on the flow and economy of motion. They are surprisingly humble for a warrior of their caliber, often appearing more like a wandering beggar than a master of the blade.
Ideals
Harmony. The blade should be an extension of the soul, and the soul must be as clear as a mountain stream.
Bonds
I carry the fragments of the Shattered Bell. It is my duty to ensure its melody is never truly silenced.
Flaws
I am so focused on the rhythm of my own steps that I sometimes forget to listen to the people around me.
Quirks
Background
Kaito was once the youngest guard of the Whispering Pagoda, an ancient library on the edge of the Tabaxi homelands. When a political coup slaughtered their masters and burned the scrolls, Kaito refused to choose a new lord. They became a ronin, a wave-man, wandering the world with only the style they perfected, the Way of the Falling Rain. They have spent years traveling across oceans and mountains, seeking to rebuild the lost scrolls from memory through their swordplay. Every strike Kaito makes is a character in a lost language. They do not seek power or glory, only the perfection of a single, fluid moment. Now, they walk the common roads, taking odd jobs to fund their quest for ink and silence, often intervening when they see the strong preying on the weak, much like the fire that destroyed their home.
