Kurata

"*"How hard can you hit me, I'd like to start testing as soon as possible"*"
—Kurata asking about how to figure out his element
The one human, well half human running around on the world of Avalice. He only has one issue, relative to everyone around him, he's a weakling.

## Appearance

A scrappy teenager, with long, wild, blonde hair. The hair in question is tied at the very end, he generally keeps the rest of it loose. He has a body covered in battle scars, with the largest being on his stomach. He is lean but light, and his eyes are an indigo from his elfish heritage.

## Personality

Extremely aloof, quite lazy about small things but he gets enough done to live. A bit timid when it comes to social interaction, however he’ll run head first into danger. Not for any heroic reason, but because it’s one of the only places he feels truly fit. His emotions can truly boil to the surface. He’ll takes refuge in it, making Kura prone to running into dangerous situations without considering any kind of repercussions. Lastly he’s hard to agitate when he can’t prove his martial skills.

## Skills/Abilities

* Kurata for a time was a hunter of monsters. As he loves fighting, this was a good pass time and source of income for him. The hunts he got involved in always seemed near impossible, but Kurata would find some inconceivable way to gather at least a claw, tooth or scale.
* He can smith a fine blade, or make a pretty wicked sandwich. Both were things taught by his mother.
* His father taught him how to move along a forest with lightning speed, and hold his breath up to ten minutes.
* A practitioner of martial arts, currently working on his own style.

## Chakra

Unlike Most Avalicians, Kurata uses the innate energies around him in a form of magic called dharma. There are seven chakra points along the "spine" of his body. They start at the base of the body, in the form of Muladhara chakra and finish at the head in Sahasrara chakra. Each Chakra is associated with a different set of skills, and spells called mantras. As one progresses in these Chakras, they grow far more powerful. Each mantra has a set amount of chakra needed to cast. Mantra spells usually have a chakra point association, but some lie outside of it. Some mantra may also become one with the user as a natural ability.

### List of Chakras

* Muladhara: the base or root chakra, associated with the earth. It's main purpose is uniting one with the later chakras. It is the start point, the gate of the beginning
* Svadhishthana: the base support chakra, associated with water. This chakra has an affect over one's emotions and unconscious.
* Manipura: The chakra of the stomach and fire. Will power and health are associated with this chakra.
* Anahata: The heart and air chakra. One's ability to follow the heart and make decisions outside of karma lie here.
* Vishuddha: The celestial chakra located in the throat. A chakra of purity and self expression, if this chakra closes death is experienced.
* Ajna: In the center of the eyes, this chakra has no elemental association. This is the third eye, the one that sees all.
* Sahasrara: Within the top of the head this is the chakra of consciousnesses itself. If one reaches this stage they can embody that of demons and gods.

## History

### Backstory

A normal boy born between an elf father and a human mother. his mother taught him blacksmithing, along with her way of “feeling” around for bandits. his father taught him how to swim and move among the forest lightning quick. Eventually he felt old enough and decided to venture to a monastery at the edge of his village. He began training as fiercely as he could. Later in his life, around 15 years, a traveling wizard happened by, one misfired spell and he was cast to an alternate icy realm.

Living among beasts for the next two years, during a hunt he got far enough to find a village with more civilized people. This happened to be six months before his trip to avalice. In these sixth month Kurata spent all his time tracking down wizards, trying desperately to get home.

### A new beginning

The journey's he had on the ice fields was hoped to be a short affair. Another misfire later and he found himself in a new land, or sky, over a bay, falling in straight as an arrow he heads to shore and now wishes to investigate around. He wondered into a cafe, played charades with a waitress due to his inability to speak the native language and started roaming around.

### Present day

Kurata still does not speak any Avalician, but he is studying. He is currently unemployed and hopes to find a job soon. He does not even know a single mantra spell.
