Kido Benally

## Appearance

Kido has light brown hair and green eyes, he stands at 6 feet 2 inches and weighs 235 pounds, he is well built but not huge and in great physical condition. His face has rather soft edges but is still defined. His clean face is accompanied with his rather thick eyebrows and straight but slightly slanted nose. His prominent features include his medium length hair that is somewhat messy since it has no style, but it does have a defined cowlick in the front which I guess is his style. Another feature which in no less prominent, is his eyes, it seems this is what people notice first then of course it’s the muscle structure. His eyes appear green at first glance but with closer inspection you’ll see a variety of different colors in his capturing eyes

## Personality

Kido values family and friendship over many things since he grew up relying on others and being relied on so having his trust is an important asset I’d say. He knows he is knowledgeable about a vast variety of things related to being able to survive or like being a master hunter going undetected but when It comes to learning new things he’d rather be taught by someone rather than teaching himself because of how confused and flustered he can become this excludes his knowledge and future studies on beast since that is his passion. When it comes to meeting new people, Kido is rather silent not that he is shy it’s more like he doesn’t know what to say but if he has reason to speak he will. Kido is a laid-back man, preferring to take his time and enjoy the world around him, he is also very selfless, seen as a man that will laugh off his own personal conflicts. Most of the time he is calm but he can very quickly become angry by the littlest of things, such as littering or people being disrespectful.

## Backstory

In an unnamed village with a population of 23 far North from any other civilization where temperatures never come above freezing Kido was born, his mother… died while giving birth due to infection. This never really affected him at any point growing up since all he knew is his reality without his mom, but this drove his father to teach him the importance of family and having a good time while it lasts.

While growing up Kido was exposed to the elements like all were in the village and this enabled him to be confident in the wild knowing he can survive. His days were usually filled with doing chores such as clean or chopping wood, helping others, hunting, and reading his books on the rare beasts of the world. One day while out hunting for their next meal Kido and his father became trapped in a blizzard. Realizing their situation Kido’s father took them to a nearby cave to wait out the storm without knowing it was the home of a rare creature.

While his father was out collecting wood for their fire Kido decided to venture deeper into the cave eventually to find a female Saumen Kar (seven-foot tall creature covered in white fur, often said to have twisted, black horns, and a ferocity matched only by their wisdom) treating to her young. Kido made sure to not be noticed because it would most certainly bring trouble. He was so elated to see such a rare best that he had read about in his books that he took his time observing the beast taking notes about what it did but before he got caught up he decided to go back to the entrance of the cave before his father got back so he wouldn’t be worried.

Luckily when his father got back the storm died down enough for them to make their way back home because after telling his father about the beast it was a wise decision to not stay the night there. This memory is forever cemented in Kido’s mind because it was this moment he decided to become a Hunter.

Out-boxer: a term used for fighters who seeks to maintain a gap from their opponent and fight with faster, longer range punches.
Out-boxers are known for being extremely quick on their feet, which often makes up for a lack of power. But in Kido’s case if he finds an opening he will make the decisive strike or go in for a powerful grapple.
