Character Portrait

Biography

Kob was an ordinary soldier in the Emperor's army, tasked with mundane duties such as escorting supply wagons and repairing fortifications. A few months ago, while on a routine supply run, Kob became lost in the wilderness due to his own inattention. Distracted by the beauty of the forest and his own wandering thoughts, he unknowingly veered off the path. By the time he realized his mistake, night had fallen, and he was far from his group.

Seeking shelter, Kob stumbled upon a desolate cave to escape the cold. As the night stretched on, he heard whispers emanating from the cavern's depths. Against his better judgment, he ventured further in and encountered a bizarre artifact adorned with ancient, incomprehensible symbols. There, an alien presence overtook him - an ancient spirit claimed Kob as a vessel. When Kob awoke, he found his mind ablaze with alien knowledge and strange powers.

Fearing rejection and persecution, Kob has kept his newfound abilities a secret, using them only when absolutely necessary and often taking credit for his deeds as simple strokes of luck. He now wrestles with the spirit's influence, unsure if it is a benevolent guide or a malevolent force waiting to seize control.

Known for: during a pitched battle on the war front, Kob's unit was ambushed and on the verge of collapse. As the enemy closed in, Kob secretly unleashed a devastating psychic wave that disoriented and incapacitated their foes. To his comrades, it seemed as if the attackers had fallen victim to sudden madness or misfortune. With the enemy in chaos, Kob rallied his comrades to a decisive victory. His quick thinking and "mysterious luck" earned him respect and admiration among the soldiers, though Kob quietly fears the day they learn the truth about his powers.

Personality Traits

On the outside, Kob seems like a jolly and goofy guy. But on the inside he is introspective and cautious, preferring to observe and analyze situations before acting. He is loyal to his comrades but wary of forming deep attachments, fearing his powers may one day harm those he cares about. Kob despises deception yet lives a life of lies, hiding his abilities and the truth about the night in the cave from everyone he trusts.

Despite his slouched posture and tired brown eyes, his belt is meticulously organized, hinting at a quiet reliability amidst his otherwise forgettable appearance.
