He wears dark jeans with a brown belt attached to his right thigh. He wears a pauldron on his left shoulder and chest, the back of which has magnetic clips that can be used to mount Adrestia. He also wears two gauntlets, one on each arm, that are equipped with hard light shields that can be deployed at will. On his arms, he has a set of tattoos that are both a dark blue color. He wears black fingerless gloves that have a red border on the wrist.

## Bio

Kaede was born in Artemis, Helios. During his childhood, he was separated from his family for unknown reasons. When he was just seven years old he began his training to become a Spartan. By age 12, he was already a soldier and top-class martial artist. Over the next few years, he would participate in dozens of battles and he learned more skills that would later benefit his career as a Slayer. When Kaede was 15, he left Helios to enroll in a combat school and become a slayer.

He was soon enrolled in the Andromeda School of Combat and excelled in all his classes. There he went on several missions ranging from escort missions to large scale firefights. At Andromeda, he learned several new fighting styles and even created his own weapon, the Adrestia. With his new weapon and set of skills, Kaede graduated at 16. Upon graduating he received his Slayers license and began his official career almost immediately. His combat training and multi-lingual abilities made him an excellent Slayer. His reputation quickly picked up speed, and he was soon nicknamed *The Spartan.*

While he was praised for his intellect, he was also a bit of an outcast. Kaede is skilled in many forms of weaponry and martial arts. He can use nearly any weapon he comes across and knows top-class martial art techniques. He also knows several different languages. These skills make him an excellent warrior, though they do not help his outcast reputation.
