History
Born in the mountains on the western boarders of Doma, Kaito was born to Kudo Kumon, a Raen male native to the mountains while his mother was Sachen Chosan, a Xaela of the Chosan tribe that lived in the plains below. The two having met while hunting for their respective families. His father giving up the kill to Sachen making her feel indebted to him. So she would later bring him another kill to pay back her debt, it would be this action that would bring the two together and eventual bring them to bonding. His Birth being the only one of its kind in a village of Raen.
As a child Kaito was happy, ignorance is bliss after all, but he wasn’t able to see how most people treated him with a politeness that didn’t seem all to genuine. Children still learned and played together, but as he entered into his teenage years he started to notice how those who were once his friends were starting to change their attitude towards him. They were starting to look at him with less mirth and more distance. It was at this point, he began to realize that to those around him, he was an outsider and didn’t belong.
In his teenage years, the realization had fully sunk in, the politeness was just because of the culture he’d grown up in, and it made him angry. How could it not? His father knew this, and it was at this time he took his son aside and taught him how to focus that anger into something useful, the Lance. His fathers skill being passed to his son, and the martial skill was something he found that he could put the energy that anger brought and temper it to something useful. Eventually leading him to follow his father and become a warrior for the village to show his worth to those in the village and prove he wasn’t an outsider.
Of course, as time passed even with all the time and energy he poured into being useful and helpful to the village was still met with that same politeness. Still he tried, joining his father in following the traditions of the Raen and still being politely rebuffed, of course even then this wouldn’t matter. As the Garlean War machine would eventually arrive to his home, taking everyone and everything from their home with ease. Conscripting Kaito and other Warriors into their army, separating them from their family and loved ones, and into a life of service for an uncaring empire. For Kaito, this was hell, the only rocks in his life torn from as he shoved into a transport. His family broken into pieces as the Garleans came, and he was made to suffer.
The Garleans were not kind, they made him yearn for that forced politeness of home as every day the men he served with, those who weren’t conscripts were vile tortures. For every tiny mistake Kaito made it was another mark on his back, same for the other conscripts. The promise of Citizenship for a loyal twenty years service wasn’t much hope. The Atrocities they made him commit, the deaths of people by his hands who didn’t deserve it. It made him sick with guilt, he couldn’t stay there. So he planned, planned for months so that he could run, he’d managed to build enough supplies over the course of three months that he felt comfortable with to run and with his bag packed and lance in hand, the dead of night upon him he fled the base he was on. Making his way to the coast for passage to Eorzea, and from there he planned to head to the southern continent where the Garleans had no hold.
Of course, come his arrival and travels through Eorzea, he would find time to stop and help those he met, doing favors for gil or food, sometimes lodging. As he traveled closer and closer to Ul’dah he got the more and more enamored with Eorzea he became, deciding to stay and a stroke of luck a flier would come his way to a Free Company looking for more members, he’d find their headquarters in the Goblet, and sign on. It is currently where he resides.
Personality
For as much as life has put him through, Kaito remains a pretty gentle soul, preferring not to use violence as his first step in solving a problem. If anything it’s a last resort. He’s a rather loyal person to those who have earned his trust and respect. While also willing to give as much of himself to others in need of aid, most likely to his own detriment.
