Kenshin

[Kenshin]

Kenshin Appearance Race: Kelvic Gender: Male Age: Year and a half Birthday: 53, Winter, 512. Birthplace: Sunbreth Appearance: Kenshin is a skinny short man with beady eyes and long hair. His beard and hair grow rather quickly so its not uncommon to see him with medium hair or even a substantial beard depending on if he has grown it out or not. While skinny he is not malnourished might surprise people some with unexpected strength. To assist in his begging he sometimes pretends to be many years older then he truly is. Being a Kelvic rat the only markings that would betray his race are his eyes. The irises of each expands considerably further when he needs to see in the dark and are always a bit wider then a humans even in bright light. Character Concept Kenshin is a Kelvic of the rat family. Meaning his human form does share many traits of his animal side, due to the nature of his second skin he has found it hard to make friends or relationships as many are disgusted by his tendencies and manners. He is filthy and prefers the darkness to the light. Due to these habits he found purpose in using his form to steal both possesions and secrets from those to gain money. He has a hard time spending his funds on anything and will often try to hoard large quantities of money. Less of understanding its value and more because he likes shiny objects. He might sometimes steal utterly useless objects like a fork that had been over polished and add it to his collection. But due to his Kelvic nature he has a method interacting with others, he can often be found begging on the streets covered in rags to hide his body from prying eyes and put on the guise of age to gain sympathy and from sympathy money. He also uses this guise to assess targets of robbery and pickpocketing as he has learned that to many a beggar on the side of the street is all but invisble and can often get away with many things that would gain attention from a normal person. (Such as walking past the same shop multiple times to judge the security) Character History Since there is no solid way for one to predict the animal nature of their child the fact her son was a rat must of horrified Kenshin's mother as the only memory he has of her was when he was first old enough to transform. He remembers her scream and then feeling the hard pull of gravity. He doesnt remember where they were or who his father was but he remembers water and being pulled under a few times. The only reason he lived was his gift and shifting into a rat form he was able to swim a bit easier then his developing human form. Being swept away he ended up in the sewers of Sunbreth and began his early life with rats joining their culture first before going up into the light for food and exploration. His rat form always kept him alive as he could eat less and eat foods that would of made a normal human sick but to him kept him alive. Being a rat he tore through the child cycle of his species within a few weeks and picked up language from listening to people in both rat and human form and rapidly came to an understanding of common. That was also when his love of shiny objects started to develop and soon he was nicking coins from shops and people, practicing pickpocketing he would often end up running from people and using his rat form to escape capture. He also learned the value of secrets but was an amature at the time about how to use the knowledge he gained. He would listen in on so many things and then try to sell them off like a merchant. He would sell off secrets of who was murdered and why as well as naming the wives who were cheating on their husbands. All of these things added up over time and led to him needing to lay low and ultimately flee his home. His escape wasnt as hard as others might of had as he simply used his rat form to hide away within a caravan and traveled to Zeltiva (not that he knew where they were going) and soon after snuck away into the sewers to establish a new network of rats. But at the time at half a year he became an adult and his Kelvic nature shown through and he took up begging in an attempt to try and get some interaction with people since he was compelled to do so.
