CHARACTER INFORMATION
Character Name: Kaban
Canon Name: Kemono Friends
be wary of spoilers
Background: Wiki
Canon Personality: Of the things Kaban is, a fighter isn't one of them. She's timid, even tempered, and sensitive to the point of fragility. Conflict isn't something she willingly dives into and in fact will try to avoid it whenever necessary, looking for ways to solve conflicts peacefully or at the very least in the way that causes the least problems.
Because of this she's rather observant and quick on her feet, often seeing things that other people either overlook or don't see at all. This has proven to be invaluable under certain circumstances saving her life and others from the Ceruleans, an alien threat that have threatened her numerous times before. Her quick learning also comes in handy when talking about book smarts too, being able to learn a recipe in a cookbook in minutes of readings for the first time and make it. Despite this Kaban doesn't really think of herself as anything special, in fact her self esteem is tiny to say the least. Her physical strength while impressive for any regular human, isn't anywhere near to her friends being human/animal hybrids, and thus views herself as weak and borderline useless in combat or any kind of physical activity.
Kaban also has an intense sense and almost instinctual sense of curiosity about herself and the world she was thrown into. For the longest time she didn't even know what kind of animal she was, much less about the actual world, and learning more about both remains one of her steadfast goals.
It's also important to remember how much she cares about others and the sheer amount of empathy she has. Even when it offers no benefit to herself she would gladly take time out of her own journey to help someone else's problems, like when she and Serval rammed into Beaver's woodpile and wanted to make amends by not only helping her replace it but use to build a new home for her. But perhaps her greatest show of compassion was her willingness to throw herself in harms way to protect Serval from a Cerulean that nearly killed them both.
Canon Abilities: None. Despite the circumstances of her birth she's a regular human through and through.
AU INFORMATION:
Race: Hume
Job: Given her timid and pacifist nature I was thinking a Bard and Beastmaster. She'll rarely if ever use the second job as a means for violence though.
Nation Affiliation: Liciae
AU Background: "Kaban's" family was a simple one, living as farmers near the forest not wanting any part of the seemingly unending and violent conflicts slowly devouring the entire world. In fact it was because of her birth they wanted to be as far away from any conflict as possible, but fate had a sinister and ironic twist for them.
Two years after her birth raiders from Dalvarus attacked and killed her parents, and in a cruel act of mercy made the toddler into a slave. She was little more than something to be used for whatever they saw fit, giving her the name of an object than actual person, a "kaban" or bag, because to them she was little more than a slightly more intelligent bag and treated her as such. Everyday was filled with new terrors for Kaban, not wanting to make her "masters" angry less the punish her in various ways. Despite this she had a very clear fondness for animals, keeping some pets in secret and sharing what little food was given to her.
It was like this for six years until eventually liberation came as a group of Liciae rangers ambushed and attacked these raiders, wanted for many various crimes in their own land. Kaban was among the many liberated slaves and due to her young age was taken in by one of the many churches of Liciae as an orphan. For the first time since her birth she treated with kindness and respect, it took some getting used to but Kaban eventually saw the monks, priests and priestesses as family to her, showing more confidence to share herself to them and others. All that said she is still terrified of many things, one of her biggest being the Nu Mou, one of which constantly threatening to eat her among other things.
AU Deviation: She's far more fragile than before, skittish like a frightened lamb, not allowing room for even the possibility of someone being mad at her out of a near instinctual fear of being punished in some way. Her sense of self wasn't just made hidden to her but stolen at such a tender age and is only now recovering. For the longest time of being told she was nothing more than an object, but now being treated with decency and respect, it's making her wonder what her role in the world actually is.
Her creativity and love of animals are a near constant but she isn't quite sure on why for the latter, she rationalizes because they're just as weak and helpless as she is most of the time, but can't help but feel there's something more. And being free, she can now express her love for art and creating things in general, sculpture being chief among them, which deviates from her canon self who just sorta uses creation as a means to an end and not really viewing it as something crucial to her being.
RP Sample:
You find yourself adrift in a sea of gentle green and white light. A warm, comforting and parental voice speaks to you. It has no distinct gender, being both male, female, and neither all at once, but it is warm and kind, overflowing with tenderness for you.
"Great one of old," it says, "it is time to once again awaken. The world is in peril, but the will of mortals is to live on even in the face of adversity. See. Remember. Awaken."
Images flood your mind as knowledge flows into you. It, like the sensation around you, is warm and comfortable. It's like coming home.
As the flood subsides, the voice speaks again.
"You remember now, at least a little. But memories are not all that define mortal life. Tell me, child, who are you?"
And with that query, a flood of questions enters your mind. You may answer or ignore them, as you will. Upon answering, you will awaken.
-What in life will you sacrifice your all to protect, and why?
"What would I protect?... I'm not sure if could protect anyone, I wish I could...I don't want to be weak anymore, too many people have been hurt because I couldn't protect them. I don't want that anymore, I don't them to hurt"
-What is your deepest heart's desire, and why?
"I wish I knew who my parents were, ...I don't even remember what they looked like"
-What is it you fear the most, and why?
"I... don't want to lose my family again"
-What is most important when making a difficult decision?
"T-to make sure what you're doing is the right thing"
-What can you never forgive, and why?
"...C-can I please talk about something else?...No?
...Okay...
...Eating more than your share is pretty rude." (Half truth)
-What qualities do you seek in comrades, and why?
"Well, they need to be kind and always mindful of others. I would like that in someone I trust."
-How do you respond to those with whom you disagree?
"Well, I...I...please, I just don't want it to hurt anymore. No more pain...please?"
-What kind of people you seek to surround yourself with, and why?
"I want to be around people who are nice...I've been around too many who aren't."
-It is the night before a great battle, where are you and what are you doing?
"IS THE CHURCH SAFE!?....please... I can't lose them...'
-It is the night before a life-changing exam, where are you and what are you doing?
"...What's an exam?"
-In your time of leisure, how do you choose to occupy yourself and why?
"The gardens around town are nice and calming, sometimes I feed some the chocobos who wander around town."
-Why is it you serve your liege?
"Because he keeps us safe"
-What is necessary to earn your loyalty?
-What is necessary to lose your loyalty?
"M-my loyalty?...Why would anyone care about my loyalty?"
