Mikansei

"Weird guy ... girl? Thing. Has a problem with thieves but thats to be expected from a self-rightous samurai. Their new body is pretty THICC, its amazing they can keep up that sick bod with all the sand they've eaten."

-Drakaras Drokon

"What is it with orphans? First we have my royal self, and then Arietta, and to some extent Vega, and now apparently this one, this 'Mikansei' from Nihonia. Will people just stay alive for their children, please, for the love of the Gods? ..Oh, forgive me, about Mikansei. Well, having not met him yet I cannot say much, but we will accept any swordsman who pledges his life to keeping the peace in the kingdom... so long as he keeps the peace."

-Charles VI

Bio:
The earliest time Mikansei can remember was about a year after he was dropped off at a human orphanage far from his home. The town was made up of a few hundred humans, and a few outlandish people; some dwarves who worked the local smiths, and an old elf who ran a small, unnoticed dojo. Mikansei led the first few years of his life begging for scraps and humbling himself among those who lived in the town just so he could have a meal once in a while. At the age of 16 the townspeople gave him a job so he could earn himself a living, this was ordinary for humans but as an elf he was still quite young. He maintained this same living style for about 80 years, watching as the humans he knew around him grew up and had families then died. Nearing his 100th birthday he heard from a local librarian that the age of 100 was a special occasion for elves, but he had no idea as to how to celebrate it. The day of his 100th birthday an old elf whom Mikansei had never met approached him and told him that he has been watching him from the shadows, and he wanted to speak to him alone. This seemed a bit creepy to Mikansei, some old guy walking up to him on his 100th birthday asking to talk to him, it was almost as if an 80 year old walking up to an 18 year old and asking them to enter their creepy white wagon for “candy”. Mikansei agreed to go, he had no plans anyways and it might of been a good change of pace for him is what he thought. The old man revealed to him all he knew of the elves, and told him that he was a 700 year old elf who was nearing his end. The old man told Mikansei to call him “master” as he felt names were unneeded which is why master soon shortened his name to Mika. Mika was ecstatic to learn everything he could about himself and the elves, so he ended up spending as much time as possible at the dojo with master. Time passed at light speed, and after a short 100 years Mika had learned all about the elves, including their good and bad times. Master also taught Mika about their fighting styles, and Mika seemed to grow in love with the katana as time went on. Eventually the time had come for master to pass from the world, as he was becoming very old and things were difficult to accomplish. Mika promised master as he passed to go out into the world and serve others with what he had learned from him, and search for his unknown relatives.
