A young man born as a result of his merchant father sleeping with a courtesan. He was abandoned by his father who had no interest in caring for a child and his mother who could only afford to take care of herself. An orphanage took him in for a short while before he was kicked out when he was 8. Struggling to survive every single day, he was alone in Kugane for a very long time, soon stowing away on a travelling merchant's cart headed towards the Azim Steppe. It is here he stumbled upon Union, and more specifically, the Malaguld, who he approached and explained his situation. They took him in as one of their own, and he finally found family.
Despite having a family, Karna yearned for more, he yearned for a purpose for his existence, and with permission from the Malaguld, left for Kugane to find work which he found often times as a bodyguard or mercenary.
Some years later, Karna grew very bored of his life. He simply worked, ate, and went home to sleep with some in-between activities, though it was not enough to satisfy him.
His boredom and lack of purpose continued to grow - until he eventually broke, and left for Eorzea all on his own.
His journey was quite lonely, often filled with misfortunes and plights, but he met many people on his way to the west, many of which he helped either by giving them money or assisting them with whatever troubles they had. It took him quite some time, but he eventually landed in Eorzea, where he now seeks a reason for his existence.
Karna is defined by his generosity. He gives gives and gives to others in need, be it strangers or friends. He would not hesitate to give plenty of money to people he believes need it more than he does, or would eagerly help anyone in trouble. However, beyond that kindness, is a lost young man.
Karna is kind to everyone he meets, though he is not above cracking jokes among other things one would expect of his stone faced exterior. He is patient and honest, but always direct in the manner of his speech. He never holds back what he is saying and never lies. He is shy when he speaks, often pausing to consider what he is saying, but manages to grow a little bit out of it when he feels comfortable around you. Karna is honest, has a strong and loyal heart, and regardless of his bad luck, never blames anyone for anything.
Most notably though, he has a hard time feeling things. Be it happiness, hatred, love, or anger - he cannot find it in himself to truly 'feel' these things, redundant as that sounds. He is also very naive. He becomes confused when you use terms or say things he is unfamiliar with, many jokes among other things flying over his head. Despite those shortcomings though, he still struggles on to find himself with the interactions he has with others.

Prince Arjuna [Name redacted]( ♥)( NPC ) - Husband
Once a young and fumbling Bocchan of a Gridanian noble house, Lukas helped to save his life on the man's first attempt of venturing out into the shroud proper. It wasn't even that big of a creature, did Arjuna have to scream so loud? Despite his immediate failed attempt to convince the well bred and dressed young man into paying him for his heroics, Lukas ended up following the noble turned adventurer on his journey as a vassal; unwilling to potentially let this dramatic but charming young man die. A man of extremely few words, and a man of extremely many; the stark differences between Lukas who rarely spoke at all and Arjuna who could and would amaze the xaela with how well he could adapt to the life of a Bard with his dramatics and flowing speech. Well, eventually it turned into feelings of much more, as all fairy tales go. He'll keep his husband's secrets and life close, and tear asunder any who try to pry.

Eternally a WIP. *The legend indicates their relationship to Karna/and or how he feels about them. They are feelings that he is both unaware and aware of.
"I could never resent my mother. She had to take care of herself first. I am simply glad she let me see this world."
♥ The Malaguld Tribe -His one and only true family.
"The ones who let me experience what it was like to be... cared for. To be... loved. I am eternally grateful for their kindness and hope to spread that kindness to others one day."
"Eiai... has showed me kindness. She makes me... laugh a lot. But I don't like it when she teases me... but... I still enjoy her company. I hope... she enjoys mine as well."
■ I will play most mature content and themes (violence, sexuality, drug / alcohol use).
■ Ask about long-term and/or permanent injury and disfigurement.
■ I won't play permanent character death or rape plots.
■ Please let me know if any part of our RP makes you uncomfortable. Your or my immersion isn't worth you being uncomfortable!
■ In turn, I will let you know if any aspect of the current RP makes me uncomfortable. I will let you know ASAP.
■ I usually do not plan character interactions/development and have them happen as the RP unfolds. However, that doesn't mean I'm not open to it! Always feel free to send me a /tell.
A charitable Raen who tends to give 3 times before he receives even once. Karna's kindness extends to all strangers, and he is always eager to help those in need.
