Character

General

Kioro is a mostly aloof character, and has been known to shy away from large cities and crowds if only because he feels uncomfortable in the company of others. Being incredibly shy he has found it very hard to make friends, but due to the recent happenings with his father he has forced himself to work with others in order to save the only family he has left. Kioro can often be found in taverns which are distanced from large cities where he searches for other adventurers to aid him in his struggle, albeit reluctantly.

Appearance

He is average size by Lalafell standards and somewhat frail thanks to his adventuring lifestyle and his relatively poor eating habits. His sandy-blonde hair, when not tied back, hangs to just above his shoulders and he will often leave his bangs unkempt where they hang over his eyes and sway with the wind as he moves about. He prefers to dress in heavier attire, such as coats due to the harsh elements he has to endure in his lonely journey. During battle he will often dress in hide and studded armor to allow for better mobility.

Some may notice that he wears an oddly-shaped brooch clipped to his coat, under the flaps of the collar. It appears to be that of a silver serpent which looks similar to a wyvern that clutches a glistening emerald between it's talons. It isn't immediately apparent why the Lalafell keeps such a feminine keepsake on his person.

Behavior

Kioro is very shy, and often times will go out of his way to avoid confrontation entirely, and if forced into it will stutter more often than not. Around friends, and those he can trust, does he feel safe enough to relax and just talk about things. He is a gentle soul and would mean no harm to anyone, going so far to offer his support to others, even during his trial. When there is an obvious threat to those he cares for, he's the first to show his distaste and spring to action.

His gentle nature, however, gets him in trouble more often than not. Kioro tends to be far too trusting of others and due to his naivety can often times be made do things that could endanger his life simply out of hopes of finding a cure for his father, or making a new friend.

Combat

Kioro is an average archer at best, learning much from his father and his life as a huntsman. Despite this, he has learned a lot in his search for Litoru Aesin and his slowly approaching his father's skill with the bow. The agile Lalafell much prefers wearing lighter armor, and as such uses his speed of movement and lithe form to weave through enemies and allies alike on the battlefield. Although he has learned the basics of stealth, he fails at using it for anything more than listening in on lewd conversations and sneaking out of taverns without paying his tab.

Relationships

Family

His only family are his mother and father. His mother, whom he knows nothing of, left his father when Kioro was only the age of six. His father, Teroro, sunk into a deep depression, but always did his best to give his son the best life he could offer him as they lived alone in the forests of Gridania. The only keepsake that Kioro has of his mother is a brooch she left behind, and his father hasn't spoken of her since, leaving Kioro completely in the dark on the subject.

Friends

He isn't that great at making friends, yet he has met a few interesting people in his adventures that just may be strong allies.

Enemies

Luckily, he hasn't made any enemies thus far.
