This is the old profile for my two characters I RP: Kikona and Mittens.
I'll probably end up changing something eventually, but I left them as they were.
First up is Kiko.
Name: Kikona Krystalis
Nation: Bastok
Hobbies: Treasure hunting.
Current Job: Thief/Warrior
Age: 22
Eye Color: Brown
Hair color: Dark brown
Height: 5'1"
Background: At the age of eight, she lost her father, and literally pushed her younger sister into the fate of death. Afterwards, she had been taken in by two Bastokan Tarutaru. Soon after, she met a boy somewhat older by the name of Kosoki. Young and foolish, they managed to stole away to Windurst where they spent following years together, being generously raised by the Mithra and Tarutaru. They returned to their home nation eventually, which Kosoki sought off to become a Paladin, leaving a still young and immature Kikona. Bastok had gained many new followers, foreigners, and inhabitants- she could never find those two Tarutaru left behind.
By chance, she came across Ellion. He helped restore order to her life, making it comfortable for a time being. This was when her ideals slowly began to shift both ways. But compelled to find Kosoki, feeling driven at the time, Kikona left Ellion without word. It could have possibly driven her mad, the decision she made, as not much later after excessive travel, she began terribly missing Ellion and was finding it impossible to find Kosoki. With the return to Bastok, Ellion was nowhere to be found. Haunting dreams of her younger sister's death were reviving again as well, only taking a stronger hold on her mind. From there on, she's grown, easily influenced by her surroundings or to be more exact, people. More or less, she's unaware of her actions and treatment towards and even forgetful of new acquaintances sometimes.
Kikona has since become fully aware of everything she does. She did find Ellion, and though she had hoped it would remain well... it didn't. After Selbina, she hasn't seen Ellion since. Since that day, Kikona hadn't seen Brin either, who she recently found out to be dead. Perhaps the one thing that's caused a major difference in the way she sees things now, is that her younger sister that died many years back has taken form again, say, as a spirit, ghost. Whether it's the working of Kikona's own mind or if it could really be Kiijita who visits Kikona constantly now, is unsure to her. The loss of everything she had ever held dear though, and even those she thought were friends to her, she tries to care no more for. Kiijita pressures her constantly to take action, to take the lives of those who have hurt her. Kikona instead, just keeps herself mindlessly drunk to avoid it. She still interacts with people, but tries to push away the demands of Kiijita.
Latest:: Well, a whole lot has happened. Too much to explain...
Kikona has more or less lost it just about. Kiijita's driven her to the point of insanity. She plans to travel to the Hall of the Gods after speaking with Brin in a dream, who referred to the place as the "ultimate redemption". There she seeks the removal of the lingering spirit of her sister. All Kikona wishes for is a death while at peace with herself. This cannot be done so long as Kiijita continuously interferes with every minute of her life, constantly persuading evil deeds. What will happen once Kiijita has disappeared from her life, Kikona is unsure. The wrong image has been built up around her now, and the fact she associates with Ellion labels her in league with those not of Altana or good.
Now for Mittens~
Name:: Mieh Dou
Age:: 17
Nation:: Bastok
Height:: 5'3"
Hair Color:: Blonde
Eye Color:: Blue
Jobs:: Paladin
Personality:: Raised by Bastokan beliefs, also she remains loyal to Altana yet isn't forceful, as other things usually occupy her mind. Flirtatious with Hume males, and admires the strength and will of the Galka. Elvaan and Tarutaru she hasn't been around all too much, yet finds them interesting as well. In general, she's kind to all, yet hard on herself to succeed and protect. Fancies friendly competition in almost anything, and rarely holds grudges or hard feelings. Always one to keep giving chances over and over again, as she doesn't like to give up on people, regardless of their actions.
Background:: Mieh was born in Kazham, but doesn't remember the place at all. Her father (yes, the rare male Mithra) had brought her to Bastok as he broke away from the Mithran area to travel, only able to take up one of his children and leave before being discovered. Unprepared for the harsh conditions of which his travels would take him, he was only able enough to make it to Konschat Highlands. Worn and weary, he felt mistakened for his actions, especially bringing one of his own into the mess. With a struggle to the crag, it was there he finally gave out upon the sight of a small group of Galka. The small child, much like a kitten, was observed and taken up into the arms of one of the Galka, meanwhile the father examined. All he had, had been given in order to sustain Mieh's healthiness through the travel, and it was only time before his body would give out.
It was now, that Mieh was taken to Bastok by the Galka. There had been small words exchanged, weakly from the father, in concern for his daughter. From that point on, the small Mithra would be raised by the Galka who found her.
Mieh heard this story many times, always willing to hear it again. For a long time it burned inside her mind, as to why her father hadn't allowed himself to be cared for and carried back to Bastok, but with time's pass, she learned to accept the fact and realized it brought her into a life she enjoyed very much.
The Galka were very protective of her, raising her in the nation of Bastok. They feared she might be mistreated as was their own race at times, and thus secluded her from many of the young Hume children. However, upon the entrance into Bastok with Mieh for the first time, an old woman had spotted the young Mithra, not even noting her appearance, but rather the clothing. The old woman had pointed out what large mittens the child wore, which soon would be a given nickname.
Being raised was an experience for Mieh, as she was taught to be hardworking, consistant, and respectful to her elders. This was a larger part of her learning until years later when she was able to venture on her own. Religiously though, she was naive for too long until one day when she sat waiting patiently for her Galkan family to dismiss from a meeting occuring with Cid inside the Metalworks. Mieh spotted a man doned in large robes entering a room she had never noticed before, and for the sake of curiousity, she took the elevator down quickly to follow. Entering the small room, she saw it was like a small basement, and discovered it to be an altar to Altana for worship. It was then she asked the robed man what this was for, and from there on, she was inclined to learn and praise the Goddess.
Time passed quickly, and it wasn't long until it had reached the point where Mieh wanted to shape her future by herself. The instant thought was her becoming a warrior and defender for Bastok, inspired by the strength of her family. Taking on such a responsibility, it was final that the Mithra could explore the outlands of Bastok and travel within the city on her own. Almost immediately she was enthralled by the sight of all the young people she could finally acquaint with, preferably the Hume boys she had been so withdrawn from for the longest time. A kindness swept through all of her encounters though, because Mieh sought friendships and social status. She was always trying to be unaware to the cruel and harsh realities that some look upon her with, preferring to ignore it and hope for the better.
Mieh's Galkan family might as well all be considered dead to her. The one she held closest to her had been killed, with two others, by stealthy means of Mali (Later Kikona ended up kidnapping Mali and leaving her stranded in Valkurm Dunes, lol). Whether it was a way of getting back at Mieh for taking an obvious liking to Hayato, is unknown to the Mithra. The only thing which bothers Mieh from time to time, is that in a fit of anger, Mieh had taken a lance to which would be the death of Mali, yet Hayato stopped her. A feeling compelled her not to kill either of them though (or atleast try). Mieh assumed this as Altana's work, and eventually it was seen that though Mali took lives, Mieh shouldn't live with the burden of taking away a life of the nation she strives to protect.
Hayato and Mieh ended up spending a majority of their time together for awhile, and during that time, Mieh had failed to notice Hayato's feelings over her.
They traveled to Kazham, and Hayato wanted Mieh to see what was truly her home. Docking, the first encounter they had was with Kitsomi, now a High Priestess. Mieh had no part in the conversation, and drifted off to explore the small town. It was exciting to see fellow Mithra (though she wondered where all the males were, as she's never seen one, and can't remember the face of her father), but... she was raised in Bastok, and found herself though favoring Kazham, not in love with it as she was with the nation of technology.
While in Kazham, she did meet someone new. It wouldn't be until the following morning when she leaves Kazham alone on the airship that she comes across the man again, soon to be known as Aidyn. Ever since, as she had easily picked up with Hayato, she has spent all her time with Aidyn. She acknowledges Hayato no differently, and can't see why he is so upset over it.
Visiting the graves of her loved ones, Mieh came across a small group of people. Kitsomi, Kimota, Hayato, and Lecan. It enraged Mieh that she didn't see the so called High Priestess paying respects, yet prancing around on the monument. Shortly after, requesting many times that respect either be paid or they leave, Lecan developed a large distaste for her. Kimota showed no problem, and to Mieh's surprise, ridded of Enchanted Bones and prayed that maybe the spirit controlling may find their rest. A disagreement with Kitsomi would be what does Mieh in, as Lecan attacks her. Throughout the time of Lecan's verbal or physical attacks, she would not arm herself unless ridding away the Enchanted or goblins seeking their treasure among the graves. So, she allowed herself harmed unless one of the others stood up for her, but even then, appreciation wasn't much shown all the way down to leaving the sacred grounds. Mieh appears to dislike Kitsomi, but in truth, the Mithra is not what she dislikes, it is the title she upholds herself with. The man, possibly Elvaan, that brought Mieh into the belief of Altana never boasted of himself as the High Priest, yet was collected and merely shared what inspired her to become religious. None of this sank into Lecan's mind as he did continue his attacks. A young Hume girl by the name of Iseria would be the one to come to Mieh's rescue.
With herself out of harm, Mieh chose to leave. Before she could though, she saw Hayato. For that moment, maybe, she decided to open up to what was the problem between them. Strong feelings not met by the other. Yet, she promised to return to him one day. In their last meeting, Mieh had exclaimed she was going to become a Paladin. Hayato understood this, but Mieh would never explain it was Aidyn who inspired this, and that they would spend more time together than she would ever want Hayato to know. A moment of consideration on his feelings.
Saying goodbye, she left Hayato to wait for his High Priestess from there.
Latest::
Mieh successfully achieved Paladin and has been working nonstop with her new job. For a few weeks she was kept in San d'Oria to learn more, and was considered a royal guard for the time being. During that time Mieh encountered only the trouble of a group inside a tavern. She soon recognized one of them as Kitsomi, and the dislike between them seemed enhanced. Remaining calm, Mieh tried to escort them for their strange disturbance, outside of the tavern. Kitsomi with Ikari and Gevan, followed. They would eventually return, which caused Mieh to be called back. This time Hayato was there. This took her by surprise, but she did her job regardless. Overall it amounted to nothing, and she left to stand outside the tavern as her post for the remaining hours of the day she had. Truly she let Kitsomi's harsh attitude slide in respect for Hayato. Not much happened afterwards, and once her post was done, she spent some time with Hayato catching up.
Since that night, Mieh has since returned to Bastok where she will be found. Placed under the command of Invincible Shield, it's most likely the hardest part she'll encounter in training with Paladin... (for anyone who knows I.S., he's rather mean, even to his own men. XD)
