 Name || Kain Grimwald
Nickname || n/a
Age || 28
Gender || Male
Sexuality || Heterosexual
Species || Human
Personality || Ever so reserved and aloof, even the closest of Kain's friends can simply describe him as enigmatic. He doesn't speak unless he finds it necessary, which is seldom. When he is on an expedition, however, it is a very different story. He will speak very openly in admiration of outside cultures and their environments. While his thoughts often spring wild and imaginative, a select audience is aware of their existence. His privacy is something he deems as most important to him.
His actions are where he makes up for a lack of words. Kain picks up on the smallest of cues from others and silently tries to help those around him. He'll help children struggling to tie their shoes, girls who are stuck out in the rain without umbrellas, men who need an intimidating friend to prevent a bar brawl. His passive kindness is how he makes most of his friends. He manages to keep most of these friends with a lot of patience on their behalf and small, generous acts on his own. His sense of humor is also quite visible in his actions, often pulling small harmless pranks. An example of these pranks involve giving children candy in the disguise of vegetables and placing items in unsuspecting places. His preference of passive jokes over cruel ones is often what helps many people determine the truth of his nature.
Kain is not one who generally acts with violence. If a situation escalates, he often acts by simply walking away with any given opportunity. With his empathetic tendencies, he finds it difficult to punch someone in the face. Due to this, he is considered relatively swift and sly, even cheeky to an extent.
Biography || Kain was an illegitimate child to a rich businessman and a maid who was forced to undergo procreation. His father's wife was barren and desired a child, so his mother--a young and docile foreign servant, was the opportunity the couple was looking for. Unfortunately, his mother died at childbirth; means of her death still remain a mystery to him. The couple went on to raise Kain as they would any legitimate child, teaching him to be quiet and only speak unless spoken to. His head was pushed into books and academics became his life as soon as he learned to read and write. His darker skin tone as he got older raised a few brows among the high class society his family was actively involved in, making his parents question the idea of skin lightening treatments. It was at this time when Kain was ten that a nanny servant told him the truth of his birth, explaining all of his childhood mysteries all at once.
He never told his parents that he learned the truth. In a speak unless spoken to household, it's not as though he would be given the opportunity. While Kain kept to the academics, he became more rebellious in a way only rich kids are. Instead of following a path towards medicine or law, he decided to become an anthropologist. He desired to learn more about the culture which his true mother was brought up in, believing that researching and immersing himself with similar skinned people might help ease his own insecurities about his appearance.
At 18, he left home to go abroad, learning of his mother's culture by living with the people for seven years, returning home with long hair and a tribal tattoo. Despite no longer having many high class graces, Kain's parents attempted to create romantic arrangements with well-off heiresses. However, their attempts were for naught as many of the girls found Kain's foreign appearance an aloof mannerisms as off-putting. While Kain couldn't care less than he already did about fancy marriage arrangements, a part of him in his heart desired the companionship of another. A part of him feels as though there already is someone he promised his heart to...

--------------------《The Pieces of Me》-----------------------------------
Hello! My name is Kain Grimwald
Some people like to call me Kain the Storm Herald
I am 28 years old, and I am male
I identify as pansexual
I am a human barbarian
--------------------《This is who I am!》-----------------------------------
Personality
Ever so reserved and aloof, even the closest of Kain's friends can simply describe him as enigmatic. He doesn't speak unless he finds it necessary, which is seldom. When he is on an expedition, however, it is a very different story. He will speak very openly in admiration of outside cultures and their environments. While his thoughts often spring wild and imaginative, a select audience is aware of their existence. His privacy is something he deems as most important to him.
His actions are where he makes up for a lack of words. Kain picks up on the smallest of cues from others and silently tries to help those around him. He'll help children struggling to tie their shoes, girls who are stuck out in the rain without umbrellas, men who need an intimidating friend to prevent a bar brawl. His passive kindness is how he makes most of his friends. He manages to keep most of these friends with a lot of patience on their behalf and small, generous acts on his own. His sense of humor is also quite visible in his actions, often pulling small harmless pranks. An example of these pranks involve giving children candy in the disguise of vegetables and placing items in unsuspecting places. His preference of passive jokes over cruel ones is often what helps many people determine the truth of his nature. Kain is not one who generally acts with violence immediately. Unlike most familiar with his path, he will attempt to resort to more pacifistic tendencies before a fight breaks out.
Powers and Abilities
✣ Storm Magic: Conjuring lightning from his fingertips or a rough storm upon the horizon, storm magic is Kain's only magical specialty. A mix of elemental and nature magic combined.
✣ Barbaric Rage: When put under intense emotional or physical stress, Kain can rage just as any other barbarian.
Items
✣ Metal Spear: Perfectly crafted for conducting lightning magic and preparing storm spells. While it acts as a physical weapon, it is also an arcane focus.
The History
The Grimwald family has been among the most widely recognized nobles named in the Kingdom of Baston, known for advancing the scientific understanding of weather and natural phenomenon for centuries. In spite of being merely human, the family has kept an honor among other more long-lived races for keeping a consistency in the family when it comes to discipline, morals, and knowledge. Up until most recently, the family line had been made purely out of political marriages with fellow members of the noble court in Baston that excelled in similar scientific notoriety. The only matter that changed this was an illegitimate child made with only science in mind.
Deep within the Wildlands is a tribe known as the Logians, human fighters who have learned to change the weather with their sheer willpower and a secret magical technique kept away from outsiders. Knowledge of this tribe has been dispersed largely as rumors, though the Grimwalds of Baston sought out such power regardless, going so far as to hire adventurers to bring back what they could. After generations, they were successful in finding the tribe and bringing back a woman from it. She didn't speak common and refused to answer any questions of the current Grimwald family head. Taking the language barrier into consideration, the leader of the Grimwald family forced himself upon the woman, and beyond that forced her to give birth to his child, believing that if nothing else she would at least teach her own blood the truth of her tribe's secrets.
For the most part, he was right. His illegitimate son Kain was raised primarily by his mother in her Logian language, teaching him all she knew. The only time he spoke as a child was to her, often acting non-verbal towards his increasingly impatient father. While he understood both the Logian language and the common language of his father, he refused to use the latter. For nine years, this was the way Kain worked, until finally his mother was taken from him forever via suicide. Beyond this point in his life, Kain almost never spoke. He understood her reasoning, more than anyone else could, but it still left him alone to deal with a society he could never truly belong to--the Kingdom of Baston. Now permanently under his father's care, Kain found comfort surrounding himself with his studies, much to his family's delight. Even if non-verbal, his essays were remarkable additions to the Grimwald name.
As soon as he was old enough to pursue a higher education, Kain immediately attended a local university and, much to his father's disapproval, studied sociology and anthropology over meteorology. His studies finally allowed him to escape Baston and explore the Wildlands, where he independently sought out his mother's tribe. With what information she gave him as a child, he did eventually find the very people he sought and asked for their assistance in understanding who he truly was. Being only half Logian, they were skeptical, but his mother turned out to be the youngest daughter of the cheiftain, and a sense of trust was built into him. For the next eight years of his life, Kain trained under his mother's tribe, learning how to fight with the spear and use storm magic. Within five of those years, he had already finished his training, and her spent the next three mingling with the tribe that came to consider him one of their own.
Had he been given the choice, Kain would have never left. However, a summons of a member from the tribe was requested by Dragon Castle to assist in deciphering Logian texts, and Kain was the only one familiar enough with the outside world and common language to assist. He departed after thanking those he now knew as family, making his way to his fate. Upon arriving to Maldria, he became well aware of just how different the culture was compared to Baston, and he liked what he saw. People from countless races intermingling and hundreds of separate languages being spoken around him. While he was simply commissioned for only one job with Dragon Castle, he soon decided to stay and contribute what he could. In a world where he could never truly belong in Baston or even with the more welcoming Logians, perhaps a place such as Dragon Castle is where his destiny truly belonged.
