Name: Koutai Misuei
Age: 18
Race: Human
Hair Color: Dirty Blonde
Eye Color: Blue-green
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 167 lbs
Occupation: Revolutionary! ...well...not really...
Appearance: Well growing up in the slums made sure that Koutai was properly malnourished, but aside from that he grew up relatively healthy. The timely intervention of Mr. Wiggles enabled him to get proper nutrition which alowed him to grow to a good height of 5' 9". General Physical-Training carried out to help keep their bodies in shape for the revolution gave Koukai a toned, but not overtly muscled apperance. A few burn marks trace his hands from where some of the clay-explosives cooked off early in a fiery mess. His hair has been cut in the front but hands down the back a few inches but not quite shoulder-length.
History: Born into the slums located in South Radasanth, ones life expectancy could generally be estimated as short, brutal and pointless. What with a thief for a Father who had anger and drinking issues and a prostitute Mother who had drug issues, well Koutai had a happy Brady Bunch family. Following the norm for abused children in the slum district he joined one of the uncounted alley-gangs who frequently made war over things nobody really cared about. Candy, shiny rocks, pets, you know, kid stuff!
Eventually the change in fate came in the form of a cloaked man, he looked to be about forty with skin that had seemed to have weathered a lifetime of hardships. The man simply wandered from place to place, offering solace and a chance to make life better if the applicants were willing to leave behind their "clouded lives full of lies" or some new age crap like that. Presented with a choice between an old man who was looking for the company of young boys or a Mom and Dad of the year, Koutai opted to go with the old man.
From there they were taken to a nameless hamlet to the west of the capital. There the old man, who went by Mr. Wiggles (he was always crazy!), "revealed" to them the truth of the corruption running through the veins of Corone's governing body. Through the daily feeding of propaganda and a few other cult-indoctrination tricks, he taught the growing revolutionaries to read and write, understand basic math and enough of a grasp of history so as to apply to their hatred of "them". Eventually, in other words after they'd been indoctrinated to believe his rantings, he began to teach them his weapon of choice in this "revolution". Magic.
The tome he consulted from in their teachings had a simple title, "Ye Olde Anarchist's Frying Pamphlet". (Anarchist's Cook Book! Yayyyy!) A large portion of the candidates washed out of the revolution when the explosive runes tended to prematurely go off or some other mishap occurred, but a few remained behind and made progress in learning the subtle art of blowing the crap out of things. Once Mr. Wiggles was satisfied with their current state he sent them back to the capital to attempt to assassinate any public officials they could with mailed-explosives.
Having received at least rudimentary training on how to carry out insurgency, Koutai rapidly began by sending letters with the magic-crafted explosive-clay to the members of the Ministry and the Assembly. Needless to say though the sloppy operation was quickly halted and traced back through the chain-of-bureaucracy back to his dock-side home. He managed to get a tip off from someone who was sympathetic to his cause that quite a few people were coming to put and end to the problem. And generally making an attack against the highest officials of Corone, even if it was a really bad one, tends to be viewed harshly.
So opting for the "He who runs away lives to fight another day" choice, he promptly hide on board of a large trade vessel, after he set off all the prepared explosives in his house. The boat as it turned out was headed to the nation of Salvar where Koutai would opt to avoid Corone for sometime and hopefully avoid detection when he returned. However due to the civil war that erupted a little while after he left, the authorities could more than likely care less about the pitiable attack from a random insurgent...
Skills:
Weapon Proficiency Mace: Koutai has made use of a mace enough to understand that the round spikey end is supposed to connect with your target, rather than wildly flailing around.
Clay sculpting: The Crafter's magic he was taught requires clay to be molded into a shape that the user desires to be armed with the magical rune carved into it.
Rune carving: Carving the appropriate rune into the statue followed by a hand gesture and uttering the word "Aru" infuses the object with magical energy that can later be activated by the same hand gesture and saying the word "Shou" which will cause the item to detonate in an explosion. The size of the explosion is tied to the size of the object which also increases how much energy it takes to "arm". (A bottle cap might burn the palm, a baseball-size would cut/burn someone's hands.) currently at his level he is stuck making things around the size of a child's play-ball.
Reading/Writing/Arithmetic: Mr. Wiggles ensured his revolutionaries were informed and able to absorb knowledge so as to better combat the "rampant ignorance and corruption" spread by the Corone government, and thusly Koutai has retained these skills.
Equipment: An iron mace, several pouches filled with clay, a stylus, a portable/transcribed version of "Ye Olde Anarchist's Frying Pamphlet", the handy-dandy-back sack and of course clothing.
Familiars: Armed clay statues?
