History
Born in the year 1740 on the outskirts of Bouillabaisse Harbor, Kaii was an heir to the Nashirou family. An old family of lesser nobles that kept themselves afloat with owned workshops that produced weapons for the Imperium. Alas, Kaii came to this world in very difficult times. His family lost a lot of members, contacts and as such, wealth in the turmoil of the 30s. Because of this, Kaii only ever met his closest family: His father Imero, his mother Isabelle and his twin sister Arabelle.
Kaii had a rather happy childhood nonetheless, as his parents were doing everything they could to raise him and his twin sister to be both capable and competent successors of the dynasty. Sadly, the worsening situation didn't allow for this to happen. In 1748, at the age of just eight, due to the revolutions starting to engulf the island, Kaii and his sister were sent off to Maquisty Cape. They were put under the ward of Seylene Sarrick, an old and trusty servant who was tasked with both keeping the two safe and ensuring they would be well educated.
In the years that followed, Kaii experienced all the pain the world could bring to him. At first, he was now living in poverty, with Seylene doing her best to feed and raise them despite the wrecking of trade and bloodbath of the civil war. Just a year later, Kaii's sister died from pneumonia, unable to be treated or to get an appropriate amount of food to recover. Kaii, being just nine at the time, became very reclusive and almost gave up on life himself. Seylene kept him going however, as she instilled in him the fierce will to live despite everything just to honor his sister. However, in 1752, his parents were killed by the Ministerial forces after they were discovered to be delivering weapons to the rebels. This information reached Kaii a year later, once the civil war was over. He was now the sole member and head of the Nashirou house.
Seylene did her best to fulfill her task, teaching Kaii how to read, write, work with numbers and ensuring he was curious about the world around him. As the situation improved and the empire started to rebuild itself, Kaii was growing into a very independent and keen person. Although the difficulties of the years that had passed left an incredible pain within him, it was one he was only soothing by his sassy humor or delicate notes of the panflute he picked up after his sister's death.
Once he was sixteen, Kaii went on to work in the reestablishing manufacturing sector in the city. Quickly his natural talent for all matters of engineering was noticed. With Kaii now becoming a breadwinner for himself and Seylene, she now tasked herself with a new battle, one to ensure Kaii would get his family's estate and wealth. She however got herself a bit too deep into the case and in 1762 she was assassinated by an unknown assailant.
Kaii took the news with extreme calmness. He was used to death at this point. Pragmatically, he began to train with a weapon he remembered his father with: a glaive. This was in part due to its usefulness as a polearm, but ultimately driven by the will to remember and honor his family. He took it upon himself to finish the case and used all the money he had gathered to hire a good lawyer. In the end, he won the case and sold his little apartment to move back to Bouillabaisse Harbor in early 1765.
Once there however, he was only welcomed by a city that did not at all look like what he remembered. Worse than that, the mansion he grew up in still wore marks of war. Half burned down and half ruined, bearing damage from cannonballs and blades alike, his childhood house was reduced to rubble. After hours spent frantically searching through the ruins, Kaii managed to find a few scraps of various mementos. Heartbroken and pained beyond measure, he spent about a month living among those ruins like a common hobo. He spent his waking hours either looking for scraps of sustenance or digging through the rubble of his old home. In the end, he found a small metal box, hidden deep within the collapsed basement. Within it, he found the blade of his father's glaive, a pocket watch that belonged to his mother as well as some valuables, a ledger with his family seal and his parents' marital rings. There was no note inside but Kaii in his broken state pieced it up to figure out what he needed to. This was his final duty given to him by all those who have died. To prolong and restore his family to its appropriate glory. After a night spent pouring his emotions into the blade, and the wanton destruction of whatever he found nearby, he was a man reforged.
He therefore used the few valuables left to get himself back to shape. He bought appropriate clothing, decent food and tools of the trade. He tested them and his rusty skills by making a clever contraption to be used as a pole for the blade he was given. Making it telescopic, he could switch the glaive into a more compact sword and back without having to reforge it. Soon he was ready to take on the world once again, and as he had no money left again, he chose to enroll in the navy, it being the only choice for a man that is both too stubborn to give up fully and yet too broken to care for his fate fully...
