===Basic Info===

'''Full Name:''' Konner Kinkaid

'''Nicknames:''' Kin, The Red Rabbit and the Scarlet Samurai

'''Pronunciation:''' Conn-Ner Ken-Kaed

'''Birthplace:''' The Eastern Lands

'''Age:''' 35 years old

'''Occupation:''' Sword for Hire and Ronin (samurai without a lord)

'''Appearance'''

'''Height:''' 5'8"

'''Weight:''' 163 lbs

'''Body:''' A mostly athletic build that has some true muscle definition and yet not overly slender

'''Hair:''' Silver with dark grey highlights, long and scruffy

'''Eyes:''' Crimson Red with a distant, lost gaze that seems to draw one's one eyes to them

'''Skin:''' Mostly pale white but slightly tanned from travel

'''Scars and Markings:''' A scar over his left eye from a sword fight and a crimson red forked tattoo that is actually a branding from his clan on his left cheek. Were you ever to see his feet, you would be repulsed. They are almost always badly blistered with skin often worn down to bloody patches from his constant walking.

'''Clothing:''' Konner wears crimson colored Victorian styled clothing with a high collared frilled shirt and a crimson vest. He has high crimson bloomer style pants and crimson red walking shoes. He wears crimson colored gloves and his traditional 'rabbit-hare' samurai helm. His helmet makes him somewhat of a joke in cities, as it is foreign, but he is quite proud of it as it is a family heirloom of his ancestors.

'''Voice:''' He has a soft, calm voice. His voice rarely shows emotion or jumps in pitch. His words are usually direct and poetic. He speaks with a slight what we know as a 'British' accent and uses the word 'bloody' to curse often.

'''Weapon:''' Sword (katana). His sword's name is Shinku, which means "crimson". It is an ancient weapon and has been handed down through his clan, The Krimson Katanas, for ages. Konner does not use shields and only wears heavy armor if necessary, but prefers not to, instead relying on his ability to dodge sword attacks or deflect them.

===History===

'''Early Life:''' Konner was orphaned at a young age when his parents were killed in a war between warring clans. He was taken in by his homeland's lord, known as a daimyo in his home lands, as a ward at an orphanage.

The orphanage raised those it housed as samurais to serve the daimyo of the land. He spent his entire youth learning the ways of the warrior and the sword there.

Because the orphans were not noble born warriors like many other samurai warriors, Konner was looked down upon by his peers throughout his training as being lesser.

'''Formative Years:''' When Konner became the age of 16, he completed his training and went to serve the daimyo of his domain. He did so loyally and willingly.

After several years of service fighting in various affairs for his lord and showing fair promise in battle for a non-high-born samurai, at the age of 22 he was sent to serve amongst his daimyo's elite guardian force, The Krimson Katanas. The Krimson Katanas were the clan guardians of the lord at his residence. Konner served loyally with the Krimson Katanas, faithfully protecting his daimyo day after day.

It is not said what happened to the Krimson Katanas, but after serving with them for four years, Konner became the last of his clan, his daimyo fell from power, and Konner left his homelands to travel east to Ul'Dah in search of a new life.

It is known that an devastating event occurred with his clan that forced him to take up travel. He bears the mark of this day not only with the scar over his eye, but in the nightmares he has often while he sleeps and in the lost gaze his eyes project to others.

'''Before the Cataclysm:''' He came to these lands to learn of them and to work as a hired swordsman, as he is a ronin (a samurai without a lord). He traveled around as a sell sword gaining enough gil to survive on. He never remained in one place too long, knowing that he was a wanted man in his homeland and that he was surely hunted even in these new lands for the events that led to the end of his clan.

Konner met and traveled for a little over a year throughout the old lands of Eorzea before the Empire invaded. He met several interesting people most notable, Naji Mihke, a cabalist witch who tried to steal his kidneys to eat them and placed a curse of unknown origins and powers upon him.

Konner was present when the Empire brought the moon down upon the lands, having went to stand beside Naji in battle. Konner knew that if she died, so did his chance for breaking the curse she laid upon him.

'''After the Cataclysm:''' For the last five years, Konner has been suspended as one of those who were removed from the battle by magic. He would not consider himself a "Warrior of Light", as he did not go to the battle with the intent to defend the land. Now that he has returned, he feels the need to once again take up adventure and walk the path of the samurai once more.

'''Currently:''' He now searches for a noble blooded lord to serve after the cataclysm that tore the lands apart. As he travels the lands as a high-plains drifter of sorts, he looks to test his sword skills against the greatest swordsmen in these lands.

He is now the leader of the Seven, the traveling band of adventurers, and seeks to protect both Mara Ileres, the Mad Seer whom Konner believes is in danger from others who would desire he powers, and Iseia Windsong, a lady traveling the world to gain knowledge from it and to whom her father employed Konner to protect her.

Konner is wed to T'nara Fariq. The refer to themselves as one in all things. However, they are continuing to discover that this connection is more then just through the bonds of husband and wife.

===Personality===

'''Demeanor:''' Konner is quiet but not cold nor unapproachable. He is often charming when engaging with other and very civil. He is a good listener and can come across as coy and cold when asked about himself as he is unwillingly to discuss many things concerning his past.

He is always reflecting in on himself to better himself in the ways of the warrior, the spirit and the mind. Konner is driven and haunted by an act he performed before leaving his home lands which he believes has damned him to the seven hells. As such he is a man that believes himself already dead and although he continues to live honorably, he believes that it may be all in vain. This often leads him to come across ans jaded and brash although it is really just that he is a broken man who is sure of his skills after having survived all that he did before leaving his home.

'''Quirks:''' He must bathe daily, although he is not afraid to get dirty. As such, he has been known to show no shame in stripping down at a stream and bathing even in presence of others. He is obsessed with keeping his sword razor sharp and constantly sharpens it when idle. He is known to stop suddenly to listen to things around himself and hates to be interrupted when doing so. He views sneezing and belching in front of others as repulsive. He often wipes his mouth with the back of his sleeve during combat when a moment to do presents itself.

'''Intelligence:''' He is a very educated man in terms of schooling and philosophy having grown up in the care of his former lord. However, he knows very little about the land he is currently in, so he is constantly looking for others to aid him in gaining knowledge about the land.

'''Lifestyle:''' Living honorably is the only way Konner knows and the driving force behind every decision he makes. He lives by the way of the warrior and the code of the samurai. He must be honorable and noble in all things. He is loyal to those he serves with, but believes he has the right to choose his own master. He has a sense of justice and will die without thought if it was a noble and honorable death. He would caution anyone to call him a true friend at this point in his life, knowing that it could very well cost them their lives and/or that he might be forced to leave their company at a moment's notice, but by his code would help anyone in need even at the expense of himself.

'''Alignment:''' Lawful Neutral - Konner lives by the honor code of the samurai which binds him to those laws. However, although Konner will not kill without what he sees as being justified to do so, once he begins to wade into his enemies he enjoys nothing more than spilling blood and becoming covered in it. He can be a bit sadistic in that way but never so much that it would carry over into innocents.

'''Likes:''' The color red, fishing, kite flying, reading, brewing and drinking coffee, reading and writing poetry, smoking cigars that he carries that are short and not too big around and the shade of trees, especially willows.

'''Dislikes:''' Having his helmet made fun of, snoring, people who smell bad from lack of bathing (he has a sensitive nose) and those who are dishonorable. Also, riding mounts is something he is not fond of. It is mainly more so because they are not very keen on having him around them. Konner carries a tainted stigma. Animals are very much in tune with auras of people, and thus, do not like his presence. His code will not allow him to consume fermented beverages. This is not a dislike, more so of a way of living.

'''Goals:''' Finding a noble blooded lord to serve, to die an honorable death and learning as much about the new land as he can. He also has a desire for atonement, but if asked how and why, he would never answer you.

'''Skills:''' Swordsmanship, Fishing and Alchemy Konner is an experienced demolitionist from his alchemy studies. He has mastered the use of explosives such as dynamite and aether from his days in the Eastern Lands where gun powder is plentiful in the use of fireworks.

'''Strengths:''' Sword fighting, demolitions, walking very long distances and listening

'''Weaknesses:''' The color red has been known to drive him into a strange frenzy when he is over exposed to it. He is also prone to nightmares that are very real and disturbing to him at times when he sleeps. As such, he is not the best person to camp with.

===Affiliations===

'''Free Company:''' He is the founder and co-leader of the Order of the Sword and Rose.

'''Linkshells:''' He is the last of his clan, the Krimson Katanas.

'''Friends:''' Konner considers no one a 'true friend' of his. He would call you his friend, but due to past events, he may not be inclined to treat you as one. He does travel with other people.

''T'nara Fariq '' - His wife and his most trusted friend. She and he are one in the bond of marriage and as a much deeper connection that they continue to discover. Konner finds it difficult to plan his life with her when he sees himself dying in battle before long. Konner knows T'nara is the strongest being he has ever met and perhaps the greatest warrior. He finds himself loosing his old ways to her ways of the life as they become more 'one'. He also knows she is the only being that can surely see to the completion of what he seeks most. In the Order, she is his partner, something in his old lands would never have been. As such, she represents literally the shedding of his past.

''Naji Mihke'' - They are almost total opposites. She is a cabalist witch. She wanted to eat him when they first met. When he refused to be eaten by her, she placed a curse on him. She recently returned for a sabbatical and now Konner seeks to reestablish his friendship with her.

''Grehn Spyrwilf '' - He confused, uneducated being whom Konner is often annoyed by but enjoys his simple nature and outlook on life. Konner has a 'soft' spot for Grehn, as if he saw Grehn as someone he could raise as a squire. Konner is thankful for Grehn's service in the Order as he is a skilled tracker and hunter. Konner would desire to see Grehn educated and civilized as a true man and warrior.

''Zolario Prial'' - The priest of the Seven. Konner refers to Zol as Father and has great respect for him. He respects Zol's opinion more then any other in the group and often defers to him in matters of decisions. Zol and Konner have a brief history together as two men that crossed swords in a mix up of bandits earlier in life, prior to Zol taking up his vows. There is no one closer to an real 'father' for Konner then Zol.

''Edgar Callant '' - A warrior who Konner respects as an equal if not a better. Edgar and Konner have a non-direct association in their past as those who did battle against one-and-another. As such, Konner is still establishing trust with Edgar. Together though, Konner knows the Seven is stronger because of Edgar. Konner believes that dying beside Edgar would literally save them both. Such an act is one of Konner's greatest dreams.

''Seamus O'toole '' - A great and courageous warrior whom Konner knows is true strength. Konner is thankful for his protection of T'Nara, but weary of his life as a possible pirate either now or prior. Konner sees piracy as a dishonorable act and as Konner does not always understand terms of the land, once someone is called a 'pirate' he knows them as someone who is not to be trusted. Konner knows, though, that with Seamus the Order is complete and a viable fighting force.

''C'Rhisi Tohbei '' - The bard and songstress of the Seven. Konner has recently discovered that C'Rhisi is very much like him in a meta-physical state, but knows not why. Of all of the Order, Konner is most unsure of C'Rhisi. At times, she is calm, joyous and delightful and at other times she is violent and prone to lashing out. Konner is not used to such things and has to speak lightly with her. However, Konner has a great concern for her, as he sees her as a child who is young and innocent. Konner, as an orphan, seeks to see all children protected. Konner often clashes with C'Rhisi as she enjoys 'fun' and performances. Konner finds such things useless and a waste of time. Outside of Nara, Konner cares for no one more then Rhisi. He would never say so.

''Mara Ileres '' - The Mad Seer. Konner was once pledged to protect her by his honor oath. He fears that her fragile state could make it easy for her powers to become corrupted by someone seeking to do so. Konner often find Mara annoying and extremely loud. However, it was by Konner's request that she come with them. He knows she must be protected despite all that she is.

''Iseia Windsong '' - The noble lady whom Konner is hired by from her estranged father to protect. Konner seeks to see Iseia learn all there is of these lands and has pledged by his honor oath to see her safe. Konner is careful around Iseia not to get to close to her. He sees her as his mission and nothing more.

''Borosolo Nasolo '' - A fat little man whom has traveled with the group prior. Konner finds his company enjoyable as someone who breaks up the constant repetition of travel and battle. Through Boro, Konner has experienced humor in its most pure sense. Although Boro has seen the group's coffers dry up through his eating and drinking habits, Konner knows that such a being is necessary partner for the group.

''Sil'tel Ferima'' - Perhaps no other person is most of a juxtaposition for Konner then Sil'tel. She openly insults him and the company he keeps at ever chance. Her demeanor and outlook on the world is horrid and something Konner loathes. However, there are moments when she seems palatable and almost human. These moments make Konner curious and drawn to her. He cannot explain his draw to her, only that he would seek to see her live her life in a better way.

''Shogun Kenpachi'' - A fellow samurai wander of the lands just as Konner. Konner knows fate has shown him Kenpachi to remind him that there are others like him and that his past remains no matter how far he travels. Konner is unsure at this time if Kenpachi is friend or foe. Regardless, Konner sees Kenpachi as his brother in arms and as such, his equal.

''Quarimar Baenund'' - The proprietor of the Coffer and the Coffin and that whom Konner serves faithfully as his retainer for security. Konner knows very little about his lord, however, he finds him generous and courteous. These are qualities that Konner admires greatly in a being, let alone his master.

'''Family:''' He has none by blood, as he was an orphan that was adopted by his clan and he is now the last of his clan.

'''Enemies:''' None known to be alive.

===Other Notes===

'''Rumors:''' There are no real rumors that townspeople whisper about Konner other than that he is surely not from around these lands and that his helmet is funny looking.

''Andras Goetia'' - Konner's rival. Andras is a skilled swordsman and bested Konner in a duel that took Konner's life. Konner was raised and cured after the battle, but Konner knows his time in this world is short as long as Andras lurks. Konner does not despise Andras. He sees him only as a warrior out to do that which he was hired to do. Konner cares not if he wins or looses to Andras as Konner welcomes death.

''Sil'tel Ferima'' - Perhaps no other person is most of a juxtaposition for Konner then Sil'tel. She openly insults him and the company he keeps at ever chance. Her demeanor and outlook on the world is horrid and something Konner loathes. However, there are moments when she seems palatable and almost human. These moments make Konner curious and drawn to her. He cannot explain his draw to her, only that he would seek to see her live her life in a better way.

''Shogun Kenpachi'' - A fellow samurai wander of the lands just as Konner. Konner knows fate has shown him Kenpachi to remind him that there are others like him and that his past remains no matter how far he travels. Konner is unsure at this time if Kenpachi is friend or foe. Regardless, Konner sees Kenpachi as his brother in arms and as such, his equal.

''Nebula Stardancer'' - The hostess of the Coffer and the Coffin and a very lively soul. Konner enjoys the bard and her infectious outlook on life. Her sense of style and her charms are alluring to all and he knows she is the perfect fit to aid in the tavern night events. Nebula has pledged to see to teaching Konner the ways of 'fun'. Konner does not desire to know such ways.

''Quarimar Baenund'' - The proprietor of the Coffer and the Coffin and that whom Konner serves faithfully as his retainer for security. Konner knows very little about his lord, however, he finds him generous and courteous. These are qualities that Konner admires greatly in a being, let alone his master.

'''Family:''' He has none by blood, as he was an orphan that was adpoted by his clan and he is now the last of his clan.

'''Enemies:''' None known to be alive.

===Other Notes===

'''Rumors:''' There are no real rumors that townspeople whisper about Konner other than that he is surely not from around these lands and that his helmet is funny looking.

'''Hair:''' Silver with dark grey highlights, long and scruffy

'''Eyes:''' Crimson Red with a distant, lost gaze that seems to draw one's one eyes to them

'''Skin:''' Mostly pale white but slightly tanned from travel

'''Scars and Markings:''' A scar over his left eye from a sword fight and a crimson red forked tattoo that is actually a branding from his clan on his left cheek. Were you ever to see his feet, you would be repulsed. They are almost always badly blistered with skin often worn down to bloody patches from his constant walking.

'''Clothing:''' Konner wears crimson colored Victorian styled clothing with a high collared frilled shirt and a crimson vest. He has high crimson bloomer style pants and crimson red walking shoes. He wears crimson colored gloves and his traditional 'rabbit-hare' samurai helm. His helmet makes him somewhat of a joke in cities, as it is foreign, but he is quite proud of it as it is a family heirloom of his ancestors.

'''Voice:''' He has a soft, calm voice. His voice rarely shows emotion or jumps in pitch. His words are usually direct and poetic. He speaks with a slight what we know as a 'British' accent and uses the word 'bloody' to curse often.

'''Weapon:''' Sword (katana). His sword's name is Shinku, which means "crimson". It is an ancient weapon and has been handed down through his clan, The Krimson Katanas, for ages. Konner does not use shields and only wears heavy armor if necessary, but prefers not to, instead relying on his ability to dodge sword attacks or deflect them.

===History===

'''Early Life:''' Konner was orphaned at a young age when his parents were killed in a war between warring clans. He was taken in by his homeland's lord, known as a daimyo in his home lands, as a ward at an orphanage.

The orphanage raised those it housed as samurais to serve the daimyo of the land. He spent his entire youth learning the ways of the warrior and the sword there.

Because the orphans were not noble born warriors like many other samurai warriors, Konner was looked down upon by his peers throughout his training as being lesser.

'''Formative Years:''' When Konner became the age of 16, he completed his training and went to serve the daimyo of his domain. He did so loyally and willingly.

After several years of service fighting in various affairs for his lord and showing fair promise in battle for a non-high-born samurai, at the age of 22 he was sent to serve amongst his daimyo's elite guardian force, The Krimson Katanas. The Krimson Katanas were the clan guardians of the lord at his residence. Konner served loyally with the Krimson Katanas, faithfully protecting his daimyo day after day.

It is not said what happened to the Krimson Katanas, but after serving with them for four years, Konner became the last of his clan, his daimyo fell from power, and Konner left his homelands to travel east to Ul'Dah in search of a new life.

It is known that an devastating event occurred with his clan that forced him to take up travel. He bears the mark of this day not only with the scar over his eye, but in the nightmares he has often while he sleeps and in the lost gaze his eyes project to others.

'''Before the Cataclysm:''' He came to these lands to learn of them and to work as a hired swordsman, as he is a ronin (a samurai without a lord). He traveled around as a sell sword gaining enough gil to survive on. He never remained in one place too long, knowing that he was a wanted man in his homeland and that he was surely hunted even in these new lands for the events that led to the end of his clan.

Konner met and traveled for a little over a year throughout the old lands of Eorzea before the Empire invaded. He met several interesting people most notable, Naji Mihke, a cabalist witch who tried to steal his kidneys to eat them and placed a curse of unknown origins and powers upon him.

Konner was present when the Empire brought the moon down upon the lands, having went to stand beside Naji in battle. Konner knew that if she died, so did his chance for breaking the curse she laid upon him.

'''After the Cataclysm:''' For the last five years, Konner has been suspended as one of those who were removed from the battle by magic. He would not consider himself a "Warrior of Light", as he did not go to the battle with the intent to defend the land. Now that he has returned, he feels the need to once again take up adventure and walk the path of the samurai once more.

'''Currently:''' He now searches for a noble blooded lord to serve after the cataclysm that tore the lands apart. As he travels the lands as a high-plains drifter of sorts, he looks to test his sword skills against the greatest swordsmen in these lands.

He is now the leader of the Seven, the traveling band of adventurers, and seeks to protect both Mara Ileres, the Mad Seer whom Konner believes is in danger from others who would desire he powers, and Iseia Windsong, a lady traveling the world to gain knowledge from it and to whom her father employed Konner to protect her.

Konner is wed to T'nara Fariq. The refer to themselves as one in all things. However, they are continuing to discover that this connection is more then just through the bonds of husband and wife.

===Personality===

'''Demeanor:''' Konner is quiet but not cold nor unapproachable. He is often charming when engaging with other and very civil. He is a good listener and can come across as coy and cold when asked about himself as he is unwillingly to discuss many things concerning his past.

He is always reflecting in on himself to better himself in the ways of the warrior, the spirit and the mind. Konner is driven and haunted by an act he performed before leaving his home lands which he believes has damned him to the seven hells. As such he is a man that believes himself already dead and although he continues to live honorably, he believes that it may be all in vain. This often leads him to come across ans jaded and brash although it is really just that he is a broken man who is sure of his skills after having survived all that he did before leaving his home.

'''Quirks:''' He must bathe daily, although he is not afraid to get dirty. As such, he has been known to show no shame in stripping down at a stream and bathing even in presence of others. He is obsessed with keeping his sword razor sharp and constantly sharpens it when idle. He is known to stop suddenly to listen to things around himself and hates to be interrupted when doing so. He views sneezing and belching in front of others as repulsive. He often wipes his mouth with the back of his sleeve during combat when a moment to do presents itself.

'''Intelligence:''' He is a very educated man in terms of schooling and philosophy having grown up in the care of his former lord. However, he knows very little about the land he is currently in, so he is constantly looking for others to aid him in gaining knowledge about the land.

'''Lifestyle:''' Living honorably is the only way Konner knows and the driving force behind every decision he makes. He lives by the way of the warrior and the code of the samurai. He must be honorable and noble in all things. He is loyal to those he serves with, but believes he has the right to choose his own master. He has a sense of justice and will die without thought if it was a noble and honorable death. He would caution anyone to call him a true friend at this point in his life, knowing that it could very well cost them their lives and/or that he might be forced to leave their company at a moment's notice, but by his code would help anyone in need even at the expense of himself.

'''Alignment:''' Lawful Neutral - Konner lives by the honor code of the samurai which binds him to those laws. However, although Konner will not kill without what he sees as being justified to do so, once he begins to wade into his enemies he enjoys nothing more than spilling blood and becoming covered in it. He can be a bit sadistic in that way but never so much that it would carry over into innocents.

'''Likes:''' The color red, fishing, kite flying, reading, brewing and drinking coffee, reading and writing poetry, smoking cigars that he carries that are short and not too big around and the shade of trees, especially willows.

'''Dislikes:''' Having his helmet made fun of, snoring, people who smell bad from lack of bathing (he has a sensitive nose) and those who are dishonorable. Also, riding mounts is something he is not fond of. It is mainly more so because they are not very keen on having him around them. Konner carries a tainted stigma. Animals are very much in tune with auras of people, and thus, do not like his presence. His code will not allow him to consume fermented beverages. This is not a dislike, more so of a way of living.

'''Goals:''' Finding a noble blooded lord to serve, to die an honorable death and learning as much about the new land as he can. He also has a desire for atonement, but if asked how and why, he would never answer you.

'''Skills:''' Swordsmanship, Fishing and Alchemy Konner is an experienced demolitionist from his alchemy studies. He has mastered the use of explosives such as dynamite and aether from his days in the Eastern Lands where gun powder is plentiful in the use of fireworks.

'''Strengths:''' Sword fighting, demolitions, walking very long distances and listening

'''Weaknesses:''' The color red has been known to drive him into a strange frenzy when he is over exposed to it. He is also prone to nightmares that are very real and disturbing to him at times when he sleeps. As such, he is not the best person to camp with.

===Affiliations===

'''Linkshells:''' He is the last of his clan, the Krimson Katanas. He is one of 'The Seven' - The group of traveling adventures united only by their need to adventure.

'''Friends:''' Konner considers no one a 'true friend' of his. He would call you his friend, but due to past events, he may not be inclined to treat you as one. He does travel with other people.

''T'nara Fariq '' - His wife and his most trusted friend. She and he are one in the bond of marriage and as a much deeper connection that they continue to discover. Konner finds it difficult to plan his life with her when he sees himself dying in battle before long. Konner knows T'nara is the strongest being he has ever met and perhaps the greatest warrior. He finds himself loosing his old ways to her ways of the life as they become more 'one'. He also knows she is the only being that can surely see to the completion of what he seeks most. In the Seven, she is his partner, something in his old lands would never have been. As such, she represents literally the shedding of his past.

''Naji Mihke'' - They are almost total opposites. She is a cabalist witch. She wanted to eat him when they first met. When he refused to be eaten by her, she placed a curse on him. She recently returned for a sabbatical and now Konner seeks to reestablish his friendship with her.

''Grehn Spyrwilf '' - He confused, uneducated being whom Konner is often annoyed by but enjoys his simple nature and outlook on life. Konner has a 'soft' spot for Grehn, as if he saw Grehn as someone he could raise as a squire. Konner is thankful for Grehn's service in the Seven as he is a skilled tracker and hunter. Konner would desire to see Grehn educated and civilized as a true man and warrior.

''Zolario Prial'' - The priest of the Seven. Konner refers to Zol as Father and has great respect for him. He respects Zol's opinion more then any other in the group and often defers to him in matters of decisions. Zol and Konner have a brief history together as two men that crossed swords in a mix up of bandits earlier in life, prior to Zol taking up his vows. There is no one closer to an real 'father' for Konner then Zol.

''Edgar Callant '' - A warrior who Konner respects as an equal if not a better. Edgar and Konner have a non-direct association in their past as those who did battle against one-and-another. As such, Konner is still establishing trust with Edgar. Together though, Konner knows the Seven is stronger because of Edgar. Konner believes that dying beside Edgar would literally save them both. Such an act is one of Konner's greatest dreams.

''Seamus O'toole '' - A great and courageous warrior whom Konner knows is true strength. Konner is thankful for his protection of T'Nara, but weary of his life as a possible pirate either now or prior. Konner sees piracy as a dishonorable act and as Konner does not always understand terms of the land, once someone is called a 'pirate' he knows them as someone who is not to be trusted. Konner knows, though, that with Seamus the Seven is complete and a viable fighting force.

''C'Rhisi Tohbei '' - The bard and songstress of the Seven. Konner has recently discovered that C'Rhisi is very much like him in a meta-physical state, but knows not why. Of all of the Seven, Konner is most unsure of C'Rhisi. At times, she is calm, joyous and delightful and at other times she is violent and prone to lashing out. Konner is not used to such things and has to speak lightly with her. However, Konner has a great concern for her, as he sees her as a child who is young and innocent. Konner, as an orphan, seeks to see all children protected. Konner often clashes with C'Rhisi as she enjoys 'fun' and performances. Konner finds such things useless and a waste of time.

''Mara Ileres '' - The Mad Seer of the Seven. Konner is pledged to protect her by his honor oath. He fears that her fragile state could make it easy for her powers to become corrupted by someone seeking to do so. Konner often find Mara annoying and extremely loud. However, it was by Konner's request that she come with them. He knows she must be protected despite all that she is. Outside of Nara, Konner cares for no one more then Mara. He would never say so.

''Iseia Windsong '' - The noble lady whom Konner is hired by from her estranged father to protect. Konner seeks to see Iseia learn all there is of these lands and has pledged by his honor oath to see her safe. Konner is careful around Iseia not to get to close to her. He sees her as his mission and nothing more.

''Borosolo Nasolo '' - A fat little man whom has traveled with the group prior. Konner finds his company enjoyable as someone who breaks up the constant repetition of travel and battle. Through Boro, Konner has experienced humor in its most pure sense. Although Boro has seen the group's coffers dry up through his eating and drinking habits, Konner knows that such a being is necessary partner for the group.

''Yloise Dolet '' - A goldsmith and trader who returned Konner's lighter to him after it was lost and crafted the ring Konner gave to T'Nara when they were married. Yloise is someone whom Konner trusts greatly. Konner knows she is a skilled ''Gaikokan'' and as such, often seeks her council on matters of dealing with others in the lands and speaking with Mara when he is unable to get through to Mara.

''Andras Goetia'' - Konner's rival. Andras is a skilled swordsman and bested Konner in a duel that took Konner's life. Konner was raised and cured after the battle, but Konner knows his time in this world is short as long as Andras lurks. Konner does not despise Andras. He sees him only as a warrior out to do that which he was hired to do. Konner cares not if he wins or looses to Andras as Konner welcomes death.

''Sil'tel Ferima'' - Perhaps no other person is most of a juxtaposition for Konner then Sil'tel. She openly insults him and the company he keeps at ever chance. Her demeanor and outlook on the world is horrid and something Konner loathes. However, there are moments when she seems palatable and almost human. These moments make Konner curious and drawn to her. He cannot explain his draw to her, only that he would seek to see her live her life in a better way.

''Shogun Kenpachi'' - A fellow samurai wander of the lands just as Konner. Konner knows fate has shown him Kenpachi to remind him that there are others like him and that his past remains no matter how far he travels. Konner is unsure at this time if Kenpachi is friend or foe. Regardless, Konner sees Kenpachi as his brother in arms and as such, his equal.

''Nebula Stardancer'' - The hostess of the Coffer and the Coffin and a very lively soul. Konner enjoys the bard and her infectious outlook on life. Her sense of style and her charms are alluring to all and he knows she is the perfect fit to aid in the tavern night events. Nebula has pledged to see to teaching Konner the ways of 'fun'. Konner does not desire to know such ways.

''Quarimar Baenund'' - The proprietor of the Coffer and the Coffin and that whom Konner serves faithfully as his retainer for security. Konner knows very little about his lord, however, he finds him generous and courteous. These are qualities that Konner admires greatly in a being, let alone his master.

'''Family:''' He has none by blood, as he was an orphan that was adpoted by his clan and he is now the last of his clan.

'''Enemies:''' None known to be alive.

===Other Notes===

'''Rumors:''' There are no real rumors that townspeople whisper about Konner other than that he is surely not from around these lands and that his helmet is funny looking.

Zol and Konner have a brief history together as two men that crossed swords in a mix up of bandits earlier in life, prior to Zol taking up his vows. There is no one closer to an real 'father' for Konner then Zol.

''Edgar Callant '' - A warrior who Konner respects as an equal if not a better. Edgar and Konner have a non-direct association in their past as those who did battle against one-and-another. As such, Konner is still establishing trust with Edgar. Together though, Konner knows the Seven is stronger because of Edgar. Konner believes that dying beside Edgar would literally save them both. Such an act is one of Konner's greatest dreams.

''Seamus O'toole '' - A great and courageous warrior whom Konner knows is true strength. Konner is thankful for his protection of T'Nara, but weary of his life as a possible pirate either now or prior. Konner sees piracy as a dishonorable act and as Konner does not always understand terms of the land, once someone is called a 'pirate' he knows them as someone who is not to be trusted. Konner knows, though, that with Seamus the Seven is complete and a viable fighting force.

''C'Rhisi Tohbei '' - The bard and songstress of the Seven. Konner has recently discovered that C'Rhisi is very much like him in a meta-physical state, but knows not why. Of all of the Seven, Konner is most unsure of C'Rhisi. At times, she is calm, joyous and delightful and at other times she is violent and prone to lashing out. Konner is not used to such things and has to speak lightly with her. However, Konner has a great concern for her, as he sees her as a child who is young and innocent. Konner, as an orphan, seeks to see all children protected. Konner often clashes with C'Rhisi as she enjoys 'fun' and performances. Konner finds such things useless and a waste of time.

''Mara Ileres '' - The Mad Seer of the Seven. Konner is pledged to protect her by his honor oath. He fears that her fragile state could make it easy for her powers to become corrupted by someone seeking to do so. Konner often find Mara annoying and extremely loud. However, it was by Konner's request that she come with them. He knows she must be protected despite all that she is. Outside of Nara, Konner cares for no one more then Mara. He would never say so.

''Iseia Windsong '' - The noble lady whom Konner is hired by from her estranged father to protect. Konner seeks to see Iseia learn all there is of these lands and has pledged by his honor oath to see her safe. Konner is careful around Iseia not to get to close to her. He sees her as his mission and nothing more.

''Borosolo Nasolo '' - A fat little man whom has traveled with the group prior. Konner finds his company enjoyable as someone who breaks up the constant repetition of travel and battle. Through Boro, Konner has experienced humor in its most pure sense. Although Boro has seen the group's coffers dry up through his eating and drinking habits, Konner knows that such a being is necessary partner for the group.

''Yloise Dolet '' - A goldsmith and trader who returned Konner's lighter to him after it was lost and crafted the ring Konner gave to T'Nara when they were married. Yloise is someone whom Konner trusts greatly. Konner knows she is a skilled ''Gaikokan'' and as such, often seeks her council on matters of dealing with others in the lands and speaking with Mara when he is unable to get through to Mara.

''Andras Goetia'' - Konner's rival. Andras is a skilled swordsman and bested Konner in a duel that took Konner's life. Konner was raised and cured after the battle, but Konner knows his time in this world is short as long as Andras lurks. Konner does not despise Andras. He sees him only as a warrior out to do that which he was hired to do. Konner cares not if he wins or looses to Andras as Konner welcomes death.

''Sil'tel Ferima'' - Perhaps no other person is most of a juxtaposition for Konner then Sil'tel. She openly insults him and the company he keeps at ever chance. Her demeanor and outlook on the world is horrid and something Konner loathes. However, there are moments when she seems palatable and almost human. These moments make Konner curious and drawn to her. He cannot explain his draw to her, only that he would seek to see her live her life in a better way.

''Shogun Kenpachi'' - A fellow samurai wander of the lands just as Konner. Konner knows fate has shown him Kenpachi to remind him that there are others like him and that his past remains no matter how far he travels. Konner is unsure at this time if Kenpachi is friend or foe. Regardless, Konner sees Kenpachi as his brother in arms and as such, his equal.

''Nebula Stardancer'' - The hostess of the Coffer and the Coffin and a very lively soul. Konner enjoys the bard and her infectious outlook on life. Her sense of style and her charms are alluring to all and he knows she is the perfect fit to aid in the tavern night events. Nebula has pledged to see to teaching Konner the ways of 'fun'. Konner does not desire to know such ways.

''Quarimar Baenund'' - The proprietor of the Coffer and the Coffin and that whom Konner serves faithfully as his retainer for security. Konner knows very little about his lord, however, he finds him generous and courteous. These are qualities that Konner admires greatly in a being, let alone his master.

'''Family:''' He has none by blood, as he was an orphan that was adpoted by his clan and he is now the last of his clan.

'''Enemies:''' None known to be alive.

===Other Notes===

'''Rumors:''' There are no real rumors that townspeople whisper about Konner other than that he is surely not from around these lands and that his helmet is funny looking.
