Kai Tsurugi

"If I have to bear these scars on my body so that others won't have to, so be it."

Kai Tsurugi

Age: Late 20s

Race: Raen Au Ra

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Homosexual

Relationship Status: Married (to Eden Tsurugi)

Appearance: He’s a tall, tanned 7'1" pillar of muscle. His thighs are particularly well-developed, and his body has countless scars. He keeps his deep red hair very short, as he hates when it gets in his eyes. His piercing gold eyes are some of his most prominent features. With that and his size, he can come across as quite intimidating.

Voice claim: Takaya Kuroda (as Kiryu from Yakuza)

Profession: Bounty Hunter / Mercenary

Hobbies: Exploration, hunting, drinking, singing

Personality

Upon first meeting Kai, he can appear to be cold and distant, but it's far from the truth. He dislikes large crowds of people and will either attempt to avoid those situations or drink alcohol before he attempts to navigate them. He drinks very often, and when the alcohol is dulling his senses, he is much more bold and outgoing...but he also loses his filter, so don't take much stuff he says when in his cups personally. Even when he's sober, he can be blunt.

Strangely enough, he warms up easily to people even more shy than him, possibly because of an instinct to protect them. In general, he's a good listener, but doesn't like to talk much to people he hasn't formed bonds with yet, at least while he's sober. Once you do earn his trust, he's like a chocolate truffle with a hard shell and a creamy, smooth center. To his closest friends and significant others, he's loyal, almost to a fault. He cares deeply about these people, and will try to do whatever he can to ensure their happiness and well-being.

Background

(WIP)

OOC Info

Mateus (Crystal) - EST - 21+ - he/him - kai#0004 (Discord)

I'm a bi trans man and a recent college graduate preparing to get a job as a programmer! I enjoy writing and RPing in both FFXIV and Mass Effect. My posts are typically one to two paragraphs long, but I can generally mirror who I'm RPing with.

I'm usually available in the afternoons and evenings and can go earlier/later on weekends. Just please understand if I'm too busy with my job search to set up RP on some days.

Dos:

  • Both ingame and Discord RP

  • Character development and long-term plots

  • Adventure, action, conflict, intrigue! I can enjoy slice-of-life RP in moderation, but I need variety.

  • Organic character relationships (whether they be friends, lovers, enemies, etc.)

  • Lore-friendly RP! Lore bending is alright, if it's written in a compelling way that makes sense.

Dont's:

  • RPers under 18

  • OOC romantic relationships / flirting

  • Excessive OOC bleed (Kai's opinion of your character doesn't reflect my opinion of you.)

  • Permanent death/maiming of my characters (unless I give explicit OOC permission)

  • Gore described in excessive detail

  • ERP without a purpose

Hooks & Headcanons

Hooks:
Upon seeing him fight, one familiar with the art of the dragoon could easily see that he uses the same lance techniques and aerial attacks.Need training from a lancer/dragoon who’s also skilled with one-handed blades? Need something dead? Need something not dead? He’s your guy.If you frequented the Ul'dahn Coliseum anytime before a year ago, you could have seen one of his matches, or possibly were matched up against him as a gladiator. Even if you were too late to see him fight, some of the veteran gladiators and spectators whisper about "The Doman Dragon."He’s a curious soul deep down and a good listener, so if you want someone to drunkenly rant to or discuss combat techniques with, he’s also there.If you have any others, feel free to send them at me in discord or ingame!
Canons:
Kai has a lovely, deep singing voice. (not many get to hear it, though).His favorite food is onigiri. He likes foods with meats, and tends to stay away from most vegetables.When he's standing up straight, his tail almost reaches the floor.
