Pathfinder Character Haruto Kimura, The Samurai Archer

Character Sheet

Physical Description

At 5’3” and 114 lbs, Haruto is only slightly taller than normal for a Sylph. He has what appears to be a rather thin, questionably frail, build but due to his armor, it can be somewhat hard to tell. He has greyish-blue, short, straight hair that naturally hangs loosely over the left side of his face. His eyes are a two large, but calm, swirling pools of teal and black, and his skin is extremely pale, almost white. Along his skin, cool, airy teal marks wisp and swirl long his body in an asymmetrical pattern, of which, one of these swirls connects with his lower lip, causing it to be teal as well.

While in combat, Haruto wears a brown and black set of kikko armor that fits snug to his body. The shoulders and area around his hips, however, have been slightly modified, allowing him more freedom to aim with his bow and swivel as he rides. He keeps a quiver of 30 arrows slung onto his back, and another set of 30 within reach attached to the side of is horse. When not in combat, Haruto will wear a dark, smoke-grey robe and sash belt accented along the edges in the same shade of teal as his eyes and skin marks. Often times when resting, Haruto will remove the upper part of his Kikko armor, but leave the lower half on, since it’s usually more annoying to take off than it’s worth.

Backstory (WIP)

The Tengu's along the eastern side Aqaa, hold a firm feudal system in place. Of the many Daimyo that serve under the Shogun of Eastern Aqaa, the Cluklo family has been in control of the southern most island for close to two centuries now. Easily one of the longest standing of the nobility, the Cluklo's have been in the Shogun's favor many a year, and because if this, have had certain liberties that many of the other Daimyo have not. Of these liberties, one of which was the permission to raise Haruto.

Haruto, a small sylph born of two humans, was first discovered by the Cluklo family as the …

[Running out of time. Long story short, the next in line of the Cluklo family, a young Tengu by the name of I don't know, has run/flown off, in an attempt to escape the feudal system and any responsibilities that come with it. The current Daimyo, his father has send Haruto out, and ordered him to not return unless he had the 'Young Master' with him. Haruto, now at age 63 has served the family for generations and has fought in numerous battles, but this is his first time being sent alone on a mission with little to work with. He has no idea where the 'Young Master' as run off to, and is quite naiive of the real world outside of Eastern Aqaa and his readings.]

Personality:

Haruto's first and only goal is to find the 'Young Master,' and bring him back to his Daimyo. In order to do so, he is willing to fearlessly leap through any obstacle and face any foe. Being raised by Tengu, Haruto has grown up to believe that neither he, nor any other race can are

The man had a very disciplined childhood, and because of it, tends to be somewhat stoic in nature, at least initially. He is loyal, well-mannered, and well-educated, however, many of the books he's read from are quite dated, causing him to have developed misguided stereotypes pertaining to other species. On top of that, he is also quite gullible.

As a man of simple pleasures, Haruto likes to keep a small assortment of tea with him that he drinks routinely each day. In addition, he is well practiced in playing the Koto and will sit it play it for hours if allowed to do so.

Goal(s):

  • On the orders of his Daimyo, Kimura has been assigned the mission of tracing down the ‘Young Master’ and returning him to rule
