Attitude and Personality

Knowledgable of everything she wishes to be, and actively seeks out new information. She is quite affectionate and physical, all the while trying to hide all but the most dominant emotion she is expressing. Tends to think things through ~~very~~ deeply. Has an odd fascination for maid outfits and cosplay. Tends to overdo things in combat, and is stubborn. Her true emotions can be seen if something is truly distressing her.

She's generally straight to the point, if given a mission, and prefers to get things done as quickly possible, so it can be said that she lacks patience in all but the most important of circumstances.

If there is no leader during an important situation, she will try to assume the role.

Story

Background

''Long ago, Kaorin was the heir-to-be of a grand, famous household. Due to the family's nature of having unusually high concentrations of mana in their blood, they were frequently attacked by vampires. Thus, it was well-guarded.

A glorious mansion in the mysterious forest outside the city. The family had many adversaries - and with that, many rivals and opposing syndicates as well. Before the Chaos, when Kaorin was still young, several highly trained assassins were hired by one such syndicate, upon learning that one such syndicate who had sworn allegiance to them had gone back on their word, and instead chose to work for Kaorin's family household. These assassins planted several high explosives inside various points in the mansion. Kaorin had gone to the city for the cherry blossom festival in the city.

There were no survivors among the rubble.

A common insurgent militia who had happened through the forest, had noticed the explosions. They happened along and found Kaorin sitting on a crashed support beam, completely dazed and not sure what to think. Some of these soldiers went to examine Kaorin.

"Dude, look at her eyes."
"Yeah, they're red! Isn't that weird!?"
"Hey, are you human?"

Not an unusual response, Kaorin's eyes weren't the brightest shade of red and could even pass for brown in certain lighting conditions. However, neither the evening sunlight nor her tears did much to mask their hue at this moment.

"Geez, kid. You're the only one still alive?"
"..."
"I don't know what to tell ya."
"Hey, kid, why don't you come along with us?"

There was no option of returning to the city, either. The rival syndicate had taken control of it, and they were denied entry.

Kaorin learned soon enough how to handle firearms, body armor, basic first aid, light ordinance and basic hand to hand combat. Proving quite the fire-team partner, Kaorin travelled with this group all throughout the realm. Though, one night several years later, the group was ambushed by a pack of well-trained raiders, and many of them were left dead or scattered.

Kaorin continued travels along the realms, happening onto a very beautiful, modern port trading city. It was very modern, much like Kaorin's 'hometown', but it was still independent, and pollution was not a problem here. Nature and technology were in harmony here. Kaorin took up residence here with a local shopkeeper, who happened to sell some odd foreign treasures, but more importantly modern firearms. Kaorin made living expense by helping keep shop and selling weapons. It was quite a peaceful life, and the shopkeeper was more than happy to father Kaorin, having not been able to have a daughter of his own. Not too long after Kaorin got comfortable with the place, a traveling martial artist took residence there as well. He stayed for several months, but during that time was Kaorin's instructor. She learned about close-quarters combat and the basic arts of Gunner Magecraft. After the martial artist moved on, she continued practicing her skills as a Gunner Mage.

However, one day a group of pirates attempted to raid the city. The city didn't have law enforcement or a military of it's own yet, as it wasn't necessary, so when the group's men stormed into the city trying to torch buildings, Kaorin and the shopkeeper stepped in. Along with a number of local residents, they drove the raiders from the city. This in turn created the city's first militia. Though, there wasn't a seperate branch of this militia for scouting, so Kaorin broke away from this militia and began scouting outside the city.

Single-handedly, Kaorin has driven away every single raiding party and suspected criminal that attempted to approach the city, so the city lived in peace.
This also required Kaorin to live outside the city most of the time, but occasionally Kaorin visits the shopkeeper and a residents who have favored her interest.

Story-Relation

Introduction to the Party

Proposed Idea: As the party approaches her city, Kaorin encounters them and, after a brief interrogation, distrusts them and faces them off. She is overpowered, and being unable to further fight, she gives up . After reasoning with BL-tan, she decides to accompany them.

Recruited a short ways into the game.
