Name: Kazahana (also goes by Hana)
Canon: original
Age: 19
Gender: male, he/him
Species: cursed human
Appearance: a young man with fluffy white hair, extremely pale skin, and pale blue eyes with heavy bags under them. not too thin, fit. wears warm clothes, sometimes even in summer. a more in-depth visual guide is located here.
Canon point: the year 2034, a normal day in spring, just after early morning training.

History: Kazahana's world is almost in ruin. He was born during a time when fierce Monsters outnumber the human population on earth. These Monsters are entirely beastlike in looks and nature, with jaws and fangs, wings and claws. The scary part is, if they bite you, they will infect you, and you will change into a Monster within a month. Not a shred of humanity remains and you will be put down sooner rather than later.

To combat these beasts and their lethal means of reproducing, humans began to evolve and be born with special powers. Hana's parents passed down ice powers to him, and to his younger brother. The juvenile Hana didn't quite accept his ice powers, and tried to use them as little as possible.

He was a happy child, nonetheless. However, when he was only fifteen years old, there was a Monster raid in his city. Unprepared for the Monsters, nearly all citizens of the city were wiped out. Hana's parents were both killed during the attack as they desperately tried to defend their children. Hana, himself, was wounded, but managed to survive, even after being bitten by a Monster. He could not protect his brother.

Whether it was because of the Monster bite, or from seeing his entire family slaughtered, or, perhaps, a combination of both, Hana's hair changed to white that day. This event seemed to trigger his powers, causing them to increase in potency at a rapid pace. He used his ice powers several times during the fight, attacking the beasts in a rage with concentrated blizzards and icicles, freezing them in place and then shattering them. His powers had become so strong that he was able to fend off the group all by himself. When he was found by the city patrol later that night, Hana had drastically changed; white-haired, pale blue eyes, he was no longer the sunny cheerful boy that he was growing up. He was now basically a shell of his old self.

Because he was bitten by a Monster during the battle, Hana now faces a new crisis. He will eventually succumb to the Monster's poison and start to become beastlike. His ice powers have managed to stave off the poison from spreading over the years, but he knows that he will inevitably change completely. The local government is keeping tabs on him, and only allows him to stay alive because he is currently not a threat. Hana has been training with the city guard since that fateful attack in order to become stronger, so that he can protect people and not let others experience what happened to him.

Personality answers:
-What does your character think about physical appearances? Are they the sort to meticulously primp themselves, or could they not care less?
As far as cleanliness goes, Kazahana showers after training every day. His showers are quick, with cold water, but he makes sure to wash everywhere. He lets his hair air-dry, and tries to keep his clothes neat and tidy, even if they are hand-me-downs. He wants to look nice, but that may only be because he doesn't want to be a bother to others. There is a part of him that wants to look "acceptable" so people might speak to him.

-What would your character say is their best trait? What is truly their best trait?
Hana believes his best trait is his physical strength, but there is always room for improvement. He wants to be strong enough to protect people. And while he is physically strong, his best trait actually would be his determination to help others. He doesn't consider himself a hero, far from it, but he doesn't want people to suffer like he did. He is one of the first people to recklessly rush into danger to protect a civilian, without considering his own safety.

-What is your character's biggest ambition at their current canon point? To what lengths would they go to see it to fruition?
After losing his family, Kazahana's only wish is to defend the remaining people of his city from harm. He serves the city as a guard, caring more about others' wellbeing than his own. Though he wishes to protect those around him, he doesn't care what happens to himself. He will run himself ragged for someone else, believing he is undeserving of love because he is corrupted. He is prepared to sacrifice himself if that will let someone else live.

-What is justice to your character? How important is it to them?
Hana doesn't think about justice a lot, because he is simple-minded. He believes that all the humans of earth should be saved, but doesn't stop to consider if they are good or bad people. He does not wish for anyone else to be turned into a Monster, or to simply be killed by one, whether they are a mother or a thief. Human life is extremely important to him, but he hasn't been put into a situation where he's needed to make a choice, probably has never met a criminal before (to his knowledge). Right now, the only thing he understands is that the Monsters in his world must be stopped at all costs.

Inventory: Hana does not own many possessions, so he will be arriving with the clothes he is wearing (tight black turtleneck shirt, wine red fur-lined jacket, jeans, gloves, fur-lined boots), a photo ID card, and an old family photo.
Powers/Abilities:

Physical Strength: Hana has been training with the city guard since he was fifteen. he is skilled in the art of combat, strong enough to take down beings larger than himself. he knows different martial arts techniques, and is good at defending himself.

Basic Knowledge of Weapons: while Hana mostly uses his body to fight, he also knows how to use daggers and smaller firearms.

Ice Powers: Hana has ice powers that were passed to him from his parents. he can do simple things, like freezing a glass of water, to pulling moisture from the air and creating a small blizzard around himself.

Thermoregulation: he is able to drop his blood temperature to lower degrees without affecting his body negatively. he does this so that the poison in his body passes more slowly (but this also makes him cold all the time).

Player Goals: I would love for my character to make friends with other characters. Kazahana wants to protect people, but also ends up isolating himself so that he does not hurt anyone. He has never been in a game, and I'd like for him to learn that, even if he faces challenges, he does not have to be alone. I enjoy maintaining different character relationships, while also playing in an overarching plot. I think, because Kazahana is strong, he will be a good fit for the game's horrors, but he will eventually have to connect with other people in order to survive. That aspect is very interesting to me!
