[edit]
A peachy complexion adorned with iridescent scales. Movement swift as wind, but fluid as water and dragonic reflective eyes like emerald mirrors. Kagamiko was a samurai from Yanxia on the continent of Orthard in the far east. Now a rōnin 浪人 (a samurai with no lord or master during the feudal period (1185–1868) of Japan. A samurai became masterless from the death or fall of his master, or after the loss of his master's favor or privilege)[1] due to the death of his master, he has only recently made the move to Eorzea from Orthard. He is quiet and soft hearted, though disciplined and passionate of Bushido in which he started his studies at an early age.
Like most male auri, Kagamiko is tall in stature standing at heighthere. His scales are a light peach like color and are iridescent, they shine and change color slightly depending on angle. Hair dark like the night skies and behind his mask are dragonic emerald eyes clear and reflecting almost like a mirror. Attire wise he leans on more eastern wears and finds some Eorzean clothing strange. He is always seen wearing earrings tied to his horns, both of pristine cut crystals embedded with a different symbol in each. One would recognize the appearance that akin to a soul crystal.
Aspects That Stand Out:
Kagamiko is kindhearted but disciplined. He was born into a loving family who followed Bushido code and was taught to respect himself above most. His family, lord, and himself lived rather peacefully though with the happenings in Doma he had fled with his master to Dalmasca for a time. It was not long until they were found and relieved of his duties at one final command was he told to flee to Eorzea and seek a new life.
According to the Bushido Shoshinshu (the Code of the Samurai), a samurai was supposed to commit seppuku (also "hara kiri" — ritual suicide) upon the loss of his master. One who chose not to honor the code was "on his own" and was meant to suffer great shame. The undesirability of rōnin status was mainly a discrimination imposed by other samurai and by daimyo, the feudal lords.[2] With the lose of his master Kagamiko now refers to himself as a beast, shamed at what had happened and for not honoring the code. Hiding behind his mask and with his flee to Eorzea he hopes none will recognize him or know the meaning of being a Ronin.
Overall Kagamiko is a quiet man, though he hates solitude, he is rather paranoid being in strange lands alone after what had happened. His heart is kind and his will is strong, even should he feel deterred he will rise up again due to his discipline and lift his own spirits. He is also rather puppy/child like!
Samurai originally meant “one who serves,” and referred to men of noble birth assigned to guard members of the Imperial Court.[3] While Kagamiko was not born of a noble family per say, he was born of a Samurai family. What I mean by that is a family with history of being Samurai and serving under another higher class family. His combat as a Samurai is stance and elemental magics based with heavy influences taken from Final Fantasy XI and Tactics Series.
Bushido (武士道, "the way (or the moral) of the warrior") is a Japanese term for the samurai way of life, loosely analogous to the concept of chivalry in Europe.[4] From early age(5 cycles) Kagamiko has studied the ways of Bushido. Taught by both his father and uncle, he saw two sides of interpretation to the code. In the end ultimately following his father's ways, staying true to one's self over commands of one's lord.
Kagamiko's tachi, Kogarasumaru Kogarasu Maru written as 小烏丸 meaning "Little Crow". Has no relations to the unique Japanese tachi sword rumored to have been created by legendary Japanese smith Amakuni during 8th century CE. It is a Koto style sword Koto (literally: old swords) is the general term used to describe swords made between the years 800 to 1600. The blade’s steel is lighter and softer when compared to Shinto swords, and they have a graceful curved elegance to them. Koto swords are seemingly better balanced in the hand, and are altogether easier to wield. In a word, magical… [5] A Treasure, Kogarasumaru is Kagamiko's most prized procession and a Kimura family heirloom as well as all he has left of his family. As he loves this item it is also his bane, since the fall and release from his lord he NEVER unsheathes it. The Sheathed Blade While Kagamiko never unsheathes Kogarasumaru, he is prone to using the sheathed weapon to knock out or disarm enemies. As he is not one to resort directly to violence unless it is just or he is commanded. (Though even if commanded he will not draw the blade if he feels it is not just.)
Due to the fact he refuses to unsheathe his tachi, Kagamiko now uses a Naginata a glaive-like pole-arm with a curved, single-edged blade that broadens out toward the point.
Kagamiko's techniques are influenced by Final Fantasy XI and Tactics Series' samurai combat wise. A swordsman who is stance based drawing aether with his weapon and himself to deal damage or support allies upfront. Though not all Kagamiko's techniques are based around samurai as he is also his own person with his own specialties. Mainly speaking his emerald mirror like eyes.
Using his SHEATHED tachi or held weapon, Kagamiko fights at close range, his attacks and abilities are stance based. His attacking stance is Hasso (八双 A stance where the sword is held perpendicular to the ground and is used for various diagonal cuts such as Hasso Kesa Giri (八双袈裟斬り), which is a diagonal cut starting from one's shoulder.), in this stance he is unable to defend well(taking a penalty to defense) as well as unable to use any defensive or support abilities.
Some Hasso Abilities:
His defensive stance is Seigan (正眼 Lit: Angle of the eyes, a basic defensive stance. Specifically it is the preparation for an enemy's attack by aiming your sword at their eyes. This stance is also done with the left foot back and the right foot forward, giving the defender a much better ability to step backwards while limiting their ability to attack. It is common to assume this stance immediately after drawing.) Kagamiko cannot attack well in such a stance losing all abilities of Hasso, losing damage, but gaining defense through parries and supportive abilities.
Some Seigen Abilities:
