Kaito Draak
09-28-15, 03:46 PM
Name: Kaito Draak
Age: 22
Race: Human
Height: 5'8
Weight: 159 lbs
Occupation: Alchemist
Personality:
Calm, Controlled, Calculated. These are the words Kaito lives by. Ever the strategist, often taking the time to look at the bigger picture, Kaito always tries to remain multiple steps ahead of his opponents from multiple angles. Not only does this simply increase his chance for survival, but is the only way he can manage his attack and flee method of fighting. Using expendable items (smokesticks and thundersticks, etc.) Kaito first wears out his opponent by disabling senses, setting traps or physically hindering them before launching into an attack before retreating again. Possessing little martial abilities he must use his different items to fight and to defend himself with.
Kaito doesn't just follow his motto in battle, it also influences him in his every day interactions. He isn't one to cause or look for trouble, much rather spending his free time on his alchemical work. Although he is fairly self sufficient in supplying himself with most of the herbs and minerals he needs for it, Kaito often relies on bounties to make income. Even though Kaito decides to live in a small forest the nearby townsfolk know his name, treating him as more 'one of their own' rather than an outcast or with suspicion.
But behind the scenes when he is at work, Kaito is highly meticulous and a perfectionist in it. Even though most of his formulas are his own concoction requiring few steps, he is extremely sure in his work making sure to follow recipes to the tee. Not only does this simply avoid failure or something becoming more or less potent, but its also helps where space is limited. With only a large table to work on in his small hut, he makes sure to have everything already measured and prepared for when he is ready to start.
Kaito also has an odd, secret passion of collecting new and unfamiliar herbs, roots...just about anything he can try and practice alchemy with.
History:
Katio's mother and father were trained alchemists and herbologists, mostly taking work as healers through the use of natural remedies. By living in the forests, the small family had plenty of resources to keep their practice going.
Since the early years, Kaito was trained by his parents in their chosen fields of practice. Every day was spent outside learning all of the herbs and roots that grew near him. Then once those lessons were over practice in mixing, grinding, and brewing started.
By the age of 8, he could be classified as a novice alchemist, making some of the basic ingredients his parents would use in their work. His parents making him practice the movements, and placements and order of ingredients. Often they would tell him that being organized is the key to being an alchemist, because mistakes in this could be fatal.
At 13, his father passed along the family heirloom, a four gemmed mortar and pestle. His father used this as a decoration more then in actual use. Saying that the gems would be more use one day when someone chose to sell it. But this would never come to be..
When Kaito was 16, a man came to his home requesting the aid of his parents. A cure for his fevered wife, to which his parents quickly replied with a simple potion. The man offered a few coins in thanks and left. A few days later, another man returned saying that the woman had not gotten better and now more were ill including the woman's husband. Thinking this strange based on the symptoms told, his father packed a few things supplies and left.
This was the last time that either of the men who left were seen. Even when his mother and him traveled to the town they knew of the departure to retrieve his father, but never of his arrival. The two stayed there for a few days, helping the citizens bury the dead. The ones who lived never seemed to catch what the others had. A place was put there for Kaito's father as well.
The two returned to their forest home where they continued to live.
A couple years later during an alchemy experiment Kaito broke a few pieces of equipment. Before he could replace them though, he figured to use the heirloom his father had left behind. When he was mixing a few herbs, he noticed one of the gems light up red, and the herbs melt down into a odd red liquid he wasn't familiar with. Multiple failures later, Kaito finally discovered how to bottle small amount of pure elements.
And it was in this discovery that led Kaito down his path to adventure and not into healing.
Appearance:
While Kaito has little martial fighting skills he does keep himself in peek physical form. Relying on only simple work outs, such as push up and sit ups, he is able to keep his muscle tone defined and his body limber. This is apposed to most brute strength fighters who tend to have hulking muscle form and aren't as quick. Not only does this help him but so does his smaller height, standing at only 5'8. A benefit when he needs to quickly flee and hide himself or to even set a trap. His frame is built to be agile, and maintained to be durable.
Clothing wise, he likes to stick to a simply pair of lose fitting black jeans. Two belts criss-cross at his waist, each holding two small pouches he uses to store his extra potions and elixers as well as a custom made leather pouch slotted for easy access to his battle items. A matching pair of custom made bandoleers also criss-cross his chest, this set are what hold all of Kaito's extracts used for combat. Topping all of this off is a black cloak, fitted with a single sleeve. The hood part is embroidered with a small runic looking pattern, and the single sleeve allows for him to pull a layer under the cloak to cover his grabbing of extracts.
Under the cloak and hood, raven black hair spills out parting on his shoulder. The back falls to his lower back, the front hanging to his belly button while the bluest of eyes pierce out, seeming supernatural under his hood and dark hair. A tribal tattoo covers the right side of his stomach and also part of his side.
Skills:
Alchemy Formulae – This is the simple overall reference to the amount of formulas Kaito has discovered or learned over the years. This is his current list of formulas;
Type (# known)[Items he can craft]
Extracts (2)[Fire, Ice, Earth] – Extracts are the elemental base on which he uses his abilities.
Potions (2)[Protection, Speed] - Potions are contained in a small pouch, and each vial contains a defensive / buff tonic.
Elixers (2)[Alchemical Glue, Alchemical Solvent] – Elixers are contained in a small belt pouch for each use. These formulas have no battle use.
Items (4)[Smokestick, Thunderstone, Sunstick, Impact Foam] – These are his expendable battle items. Most common uses are in traps or simply ignited and thrown.
Elemental Brewing – While for some items such as his potions and items Kaito uses conventional alchemic methods, such as using vials and Bunsen burners to mix and heat his materials, when making his Extracts he must use a special instrument. While simply looking like another mortar and pestle, the natural elements have been infused into this pair. This allows them to withdraw the pure magic element out of herbs, and add it into his concoction allowing him to unleash them later.
Herbology – Kaito possesses a huge knowledge for herbs and roots that have become familiar to them. Knowing the ways it should and shouldn't be used or prepared, how the should be kept and even how long they remain potent for. This knowledge also lets him know how to gather these herbs as well, allowing him to became fairly self sufficient in his alchemist work. He also documents any new findings he has when using new herbs he finds in his travels.
Minerology – Along with his study of herbs, he has picked up a fair amount of knowledge when it comes to minerals. While there is no way he could possibly gather these himself, or know where to look, he does know what he needs and what they look like. He also knows how to prepare the minerals he has become familiar using.
Abilities:
Extracts: Kaito doesn't have the same ability to simple cast spells like other people do. Instead, he must have a focus and in this case these are his extracts. By using an extract, each 'spell' having its own way to use, he simply tells the element inside to act in a specified way. Limited to one per post.
Liquid “Element” - By selecting a vial of extract, and shaking it up, Kaito stirs up the element inside. Popping the stopper off, and tossing the vial causes the liquid inside to quickly expand as it touches the air causing an explosion. The increased mass of liquid then 'rains' down covering a 10ft area. This liquid can cause moderate damage depending on how much lands on you. Unfortunately the exposure to air expanding so quickly the substance allows for a shortened effect, lasting about two posts.
Elements – Fire (Alchemists Fire), Ice (Liquid Frostbite)
Bolt – This is Kaito's most direct attack spell. Crushing a vial in his hands creates force on the element inside which allows it to become malleable and quickly hardened in the air but remain a liquid in his fist. By opening his fist the extracts exposure to air launches it forward with such momentum it forms into a spike of pure elemental energy cause moderate damage should it pierce someone. The exposure to air is also what causes the extract to dissipate giving it a range of about 25ft.
Elements – Ice (Icicle), Earth (Earth Spike)
Radial – Just like the Liquid “Element” spell, Kaito first selects the vial and shakes it up this time though instead of removing the stopper he leaves it in. Instead of reacting with the air and expanding, the element tries to break free, slowly started to glow as its energy builds up. Usually taking about 5 seconds to reach full potency the vial then explodes releasing the built up element in a 20 foot radius. Just like a bomb, those closer to the blast zone taking more severe damage, those farther away taking less serious wounds.
Elements – Fire (Firebang), Earth (Shockwave)
Items:
Limited to one per post.
Extracts: (Required Herb/Root)
Fire x5 (Firethorn.)

Alchemical Solvent x1 (Eats through a small amount of metal, potent enough for rusty metals. Covers a 1ft area.)
Items:
Smokestick x3 (Creates a cloud of smoke over a 15ft area, wind will blow it away, lasts 2 posts.)
Thunderstone x2 (When tossed on the ground creates a loud bang. Flashbang grenade. Effects the hearing and sight for 2 posts.)
Sunstick x2 (Can act as a light source, 30ft range. Light lasts for 5 posts before burning out.)
Impact Foam x1 (When tossed on the ground expands and becomes soft acting as a landing pad. Will stop a 10ft fall, and slow a 20ft fall. Any higher is still lethal. Absorbs one impact.)
Equipment and Weapons:
Custom Made Extract Bandoleers x2 (Holds a total of 10 extracts.)
Easy Access Battle Item Bandoleer x 1 (Holds a total of 15 items.)

Backpack
[Realized I didn't add the limit to items and extracts I could use per post. They have been added in red.]
((In order to keep myself supplied and stock for battle what I'd like to do is end a thread with a post or two about the week after. Mostly focusing on the alchemy part of my character and how he goes about restocking himself after battles. I was hoping it would work by allowing me to use what materials I would need, without going to the market all the time, with a deduction to my gold/rewards.))
