Welcome to Gaia! ::

▪ A simple man with a simple goal, survive. Kovah is a stoic individual who never has anything to add to the conversation. He's mainly laid back, never one to jump in first. Kovah is more of a silent observer then anything. He prefers to take the back lines of any situation, only ever acting in order to save his own skin. Kovah isn't emotionless, however to others it appears so. This is because he's very good at covering his thoughts and feelings from others. He's reserved and often hard to approach. However despite his rough and tough exterior and prone to selfish acts Kovah isn't an over all bad guy. When he is close to someone he can be softer and a lot more involved. It just takes time for him to really open up and trust others. Kovah is a genius when it comes to machines. He enjoys tinkering with broken cars and other such things. He also seems to have an interest in knives and swords, as he carries one with him at all times. It seems to be a special item, thus he never allows anyone to touch it.

▪ Kovah was born to your average family. So in short it was a boring existence, though not to say Kovah didn't appreciate it. He was born the second son to a married couple and was raised in a medium income household. Kovah's father was an English Professor at a local collage while his mother worked as a nurse at a small clinic. His hometown was small but welcoming, having a low crime rate. In all the little boring bliss. Kovah was raised like an average kid - went to school, got in trouble, fought with his sibling, rolled in the dirt, and whatever else a young boy would get into. However one selling point of Kovah's was that he was intelligent. His grades never falling below an A. He also seemed to have a keen interest in machines, often taking things like radios and lawnmowers apart, eventually putting them together once he figured them out. This trend of his childhood continued on well into his teens, steadily moving on to bigger projects like tractors and cars.

Things in Kovah's life would get a lot more interesting once he hit highschool. The life he new as boring becoming less so. He was now with an older and less familiar crowd and things would get heated. Especially as Kovah started to develop a relaxed and unfocused attitude. His grades would fall, not for lack of understanding but from simple boredom. His teachers unable to capture his attention. It was the classic "to smart" for this class thing. However his town was small and didn't offer specialty courses for those with advanced abilities. So teachers would nag him on and he'd be rude about it. Soon enough calls to his parents would lead to fights at home. It eventually got to the point where Kovah would spend the night at friends houses or stay with other relatives rather then be home. If no place was available he would actually sleep outside at the park or break into cars, mainly ones abandoned. Which would in turn lead into trouble with the law. Officers often finding him and dragging his a** home. At the age of fifteen Kovah dropped out of school and got a job as an apprentice at the local Mechanics. He would earn himself a little bit of money, enough to eat and pay the rent to his apartment. Kovah in order to get away from his parents moved out, got a fake ID and because of his height got away with pretending to be a twenty year old. He did however share the apartment with another gentlemen. The two never really speaking much as they barely even saw each other.

This continued on, Kovah gaining praise for his body work. He excelled as a mechanic gaining a bit of fame. However his attitude would never change. He was still a stuck up brat with very little to say, unless it was something blunt and often more then not rude. So while people did praise his work they would still snarl behind his back. But Kovah never really cared going on about his business. At this point he was working hard and saving up as much as he could to not only move away from this boring town but to open up his own shop. He was even getting close to his goal. However things would not be so easy. For his roommate in need of money would attempt to steal from Kovah. Because of his situation Kovah didn't have a bank account, never having had the time or attention to get one since he payed everything in cash. However Kovah would return home from his work day in time to find his roommate in his room pocketing his savings. Kovah for the first time in a real long time got angry assaulting the man and taking back what was his. However it would not end heroic. In the struggle the man would manage to hit Kovah hard enough to knock him back, Kovah's head hitting the dresser. A heavy lamp would then stumble on his head knocking Kovah out cold. It was unknown what happened to his roommate for Kovah would end up stuck in a dream. A seemingly endless dream of darkness. He would struggle to open his eyes fighting the sinking feeling within. At the climax of his fight against the darkness a woman dressed in black would appear before him a stinging in his chest. Looking down he would notice a blade plunged into his chest, but no blood flowing. At that moment his eyes would open only to be surrounded by an unfamiliar sight. He was now another victim of Elmare.
