Kohaku Tatsuya

Kohaku, a younger boy from Lydnia, the Kingdom of Ashes, is usually clad in leather armour forged in Lo'Quai. He has two necklaces that will occasionally pop out from beneath his coat greatcoat. Kohaku's more permanent features would be his hand of bone and blackened flesh around his eyes. He carries a crude black sword that came into his possession during his time spent in Frael.

Kohaku hails from the southern kingdom of Lydnia, where he joined their monster hunting ranks alongside his brother. Lydnia is both a hot and humid wasteland in the west while in all the other corners of Lydnia are cold lush forests riddled with small villages of. Some villages lay on the outskirts of mountain keeps and castles, and are significantly more well equipped because of it. Kohaku was born In a village located beneath a mountain named "Ashfall" due to it's rich history in the founding of Lydnia.

Kohaku is a ruthless defender when he finally learns to respect someone. Kohaku has often shown a burning hate for Shifters, and becomes quite defensive and closed off when asked about why.

Kohaku made his way to the weft after fleeing his home following the death of his longtime friend at the hands of the current King of Lydnia.

### Poor decision making skills..

Kohaku had made a name for himself in the Vale as someone who wasn't the sharpest of individuals, more often than not, he made detrimental decisions that led to his relationships falling apart, people that were once close grew distant..

During his early life, he became Ashborn to a black and gold dragon named Zytryskaal, inspiring his memorable green, black and gold colour pallet. He makes no effort to hide what he is, reveling in the conflict that comes as a result of people finding out.. he once went to the effort to boast his foolish religion in front of his former friends and family in the Vale..

Kohaku, during his time in the Circle, caused many counts of in fighting, even after his depart from the camp to join his former faction, The Crimson Shards, in The Clan. He was captured and taken prisoner for his own good after attacking a guest of The Arcanist right outside her camp. Despite many people's best efforts to influence the naive boy, he seems to descend further into madness, frequently lashing out at those who were once close, attacking the defenseless, and those who attempt to help him..

### Approaching self-destruction..

Torn between multiple forces, Kohaku walks down the path of a swiftly approaching self-destruction. His dabbling in forces he doesn't quite understand led Kohaku to madness, often talking to his sword, a blade of a terrible age..

Kohaku finds himself with few true allies, casting many aside, even those he considered family once. For the few that remain close by his side are rarely true friends by his standards, more often than not, he would rather put his manipulative nature to good use, prying useful information out of them, breaking spirits, and tearing apart relationships.

### Change

Since his arrival in the Vale, Kohaku has changed drastically, going from a sweet and kind natured individual to the heartless monster that he is now. Kohaku spent some time in Frael, where he collected a cruel artefact, something that coerces him further down the path of damnation. He was cursed by the blade, cursed to have his flesh replaced with bone.. He embraced the curse allowing it to consume his entire left arm as a way to show that he was far beyond saving, that this is not a curse in his eyes, but instead, a blessing. He views the plague on his body and soul as a way to give him more power, and bring him to his twisted vision of peace..
