Name: Kento*
Gender: Male
Race: Auroran
Home: Thunderblizzard, Hoku
Relatives:
His mother (he doesn't have a father, her name is Nakora). Other than that he has his friends. He and Essetai are very close childhood friends along with their friend Zandrai ("Zan" who lives with his father Rhein, pronounced "ryan"). He also apparently has an older brother who moved out and got married but still lives in the village with his wife and child. His brother has a daughter who is two years old. However, Kento is hardly around his niece and prefers to spend his days with the above mentioned friends.
Appearance:
Kento has bowl-cut bright red hair, darker than most Aurorans. His eyes are normally either blue or blue-green but they change colours like everyone else of his race depending on his mood**. He has pointed ears and ice blue dragon horns that curl back. His tail is blue with some white fur at the end. Like Essetai (though they are not related. They just share many of the same traits as both of their families carry the genetic shift) he has a genetic shift within his bloodline that gives him Eastern Dragon traits rather than Western.
As a result his wings (while bigger than Esse's) are useless for flying. They are the same blue and white as his tail (Blue on the outside, white membrane).
He loves the colour blue like a lot of his race, also enjoying the colour grey as well. So as a result he wears a light blue shirt underneath of a darker blue coat. The coat has a high collar to protect against wind and has white swirling designs on it. Since it's warmer outside of Hoku he's cut off the sleeves in order to stay cooler. He has dark grey leather cuffs that extend from his elbow down to his wrists but not his fists. He wears a very dark blue pair of pants and a gold belt to hold them up. His shoes are grey boots, lined with the fur of an animal from Hoku. They were designed and given to him by his parents so that his feet would stay warm and dry. In hotter weather this becomes a bother, but as they are the only shoes Kento possesses he does not change them. Nor does he dare to cut out the fur considering how disrespectful it would be to his parents.
Background:
As with Essetai, Kento grew up in the village of Thunderblizzard in Hoku. He loves the snow and always has. Unlike Esse who has parents that run a polar bear care-taking place or Zandrai who has parents that make and repair ice blades, Kento's parents just sell various items for a living. They hand craft them out of what they can, mostly skins and such, and so as a result Kento is very good at making things with his hands. His specialty are things like gloves and other leather-made objects due to his love of placing designs on them relating to Hoku.
He, Zan, and Esse are a trio of very good friends. He knows how Essetai and Zandrai feel about each other but out of loyalty he doesn't tell either of them (though he will tease). He misses Esse a lot and has noticed how much mopier Zan's gotten since she left. He was the one person Esse told before she went off to adventure. He set out to find her and has done so, now traveling with her, Desumo, Akihiko (a Pegicorn), and Kaerisa (a Dragon hatchling).
One scene from their past that all three of them will note is how often they would play out in the snow with their bears. However, it was Kento who suggested they slide down snow banks and do other daring things. He is a bit less adventurous than Esse but not nearly so nervous as Zan who is careful and meticulous with every detail which comes from all the times of making weapons where if one is not careful one can and will seriously injure themselves.
Another is that Kento likes to bring back injured animals to his home since his family has a spare bedroom. While he plans to loan it to Desumo when they arrive in Hoku, it seems his last encounter with a wayward animal was quite amusing to Essetai. At the age of seven and a half (Esse was 7, he likes to point out he was older), he brought home a lost bird. Making a long story short he placed it on his shoulder and nearly got an eye pecked out.
Other: Against Amett
Reason for traveling to the Ruins of Time:
After Essetai left for her adventure, he gave her some time alone. However now that it's been a few months both Zan and he have gotten worried. He elected himself to run off looking for her. He has no interest in the Stone Legend since he knows Esse's probably off looking for it.
Partner: Zukan (Zoo'-kahn), a young polar bear.
*While both of his friends Essetai ("Esse") and Zandrai ("Zan") have a shortened form of their names, Kento does not. At times he tolerates being called "Ken" by his two teasing friends (above mentioned), but it is not an official open nickname for anyone to use.
