________Personal Identification
Name: Yokogara Kodomo
Age: 20
Race: Human
Physical Description: Being male at only about 5' 7", 140lds, and dressed with black modern Japanese streetwear attire he wore most of his life, he isn't a very intimidating individual. He is of a darker skin complexion, being tan in nature, and has a lean, but muscular body. His hair is purple and black in color, short in nature, and very curly. It’s very puffy and covers his eyes, though he could see perfectly fine.
Fears: He fears death, ghosts and supernatural entities in general, and the thought of being trapped forever in small spaces.
Personality: A little on the arrogant side, Yokogara tends to be very haughty and aggressive. He lacks the ability to trust others, and therefore tends to push other people into danger to save his own skin, believing that they would do the same if given the chance. He is similar to an animal stuck in a corner, where he lashes out when he feels intimidated or cornered by an individual of any race. However, if he finds someone that tends to be better at survival, he tends to stick with them. He is also surprisingly loyal, and when he finds a friend or someone he trusts, he’ll defend them with his life. He wears his emotions on his sleeve, but he also tends to be very sympathetic and kind to people who cry. He panics when he deals with people who are crying.
He has grown to be very intellectual, even though it doesn’t seem so. He tends to keep his good traits to himself, to fool others into doing the work for him. He is, however, more than willing to do what he can for his friends, or at least people he could trust.
History: The boy was born in a poor town off the very outsides of a large town. His Mother had died while giving birth to him, so he was a constant strain on his Father’s life. He looked closer to how his mother looked, so Yokogara’s Father started to resent him for reminding him of a pain he tried so hard to ignore. His brother, who had contracted a horrible disease, was the one to come to his rescue during his Father’s outbursts, but it couldn’t last for long. His brother was soon bed ridden, and Yokogara wanted to make sure he could do all he could for his brother, so when he turned 10, he tried his best to do odd jobs around their small town to make enough for his brother’s medication. His father made this process hard to do, since he would steal the money for his own woes; gambling to try and fill the gap in his sad soul. Confronting his Father about it only left him bruised and battered, so he let it happen for years.
Along this harsh path, he met an old man who approached him while he worked one day. The man introduced himself as a man from the more high-end neighboring city, who was looking for young men to work under him. He offered a handsome fee to be trained to become his personal assassin, and he would offer the boy whatever he wanted, so long as it didn’t go against the contract he would be asked to sign. The money he currently made didn’t amount to a fourth of the promised wage he was being offered from this old man. It would be enough money to take care of his brother for life, while also keeping his Father as far off his back as he could. He just had to keep quiet about it. So, Yokogara, desperate to do what he could for his brother, accepted the job. He was given a slip to come to a remote area a ways away from the city, where the facility was. He went home that day and, ignoring his Father’s questions of where he was, rushed to his brother’s room. His ill brother turned to greet him, smiling weekly up at him. Yokogara held back tears as he explained to his brother that he would have to go away for longer, but he’d be back every night to take care of him. They pinky promised, and he was off by the time he turned 12.
The training was rigorous and hard, but he had enough money to take care of his brother as he promised. A promise he kept for years. Every night, after training, Yokogara would come home beaten and bruised, but with enough medicine to keep his brother feeling well. This went on long enough to the point his brother started making great improvements, and even was able to get out of bed from time to time. His Father remained out and about, recently using drinking to ease his mind. Yokogara ignored these revelations and the dark path his Father was going down to do what he could for his brother. However, his hope was short-lived. The illness his brother had returned with a vengeance. The medicine he had didn’t work, and once the local doctor had come to see for himself, Yokogara was told the horrible news that the medicine he needed was too far out of his bracket, and that without it, he would have to see his brother off. He couldn’t cope. The one person he wanted to protect was going to be gone, and he couldn’t do anything. He mourned that night next to his brother’s side, who tried his best to comfort him in return. However, Yokogara made a plan. A very dangerous plan. But he would do what he could to make sure his brother lived to see another day.
Yokogara returned to his master and inquired about the medicine he needed for his brother. He was informed it was owned by a very wealthy man, who hoarded it all for himself to keep himself healthy for years. If he really wanted it, he would need to steal it. He had been learning the way of the Assassin for a while, so in his arrogance, he believed that he would be perfectly fine. However, despite his infiltration being a success, exiting was the hard part. He was caught on his way out and pursued by guards, who followed him for miles until he had lost them within the neighboring woods. He felt victorious. He returned home, ecstatic, but once he entered, he saw his Father holding a pillow over his brother’s head, who remained lifeless underneath. Stunned, he dropped everything he held. Without thinking, he launched onto his Father, pulling him off of his brother in hopes of somehow saving him, but the damage had been done. His brother was no more.
Yokogara stared at the lifeless eyes of his brother, unable to look away. His brother was gone, and just when he thought he could save him. His sorrow turned to anger, and he turned towards his drunken Father, who simply raised profanities at him, stating he had done what was right. Yokogara refused to listen to his words. Fueled by rage, he attacked his Father, reducing the once mighty man to a quivering mess, pleading with him not to kill him. They were family. He was all that he had left. He was Yokogara’s Father. Yokogara simply stated one line before slicing the man’s head clean off his shoulders.
“You are no Father of mine.”
The murder had been silent, but the sounds of struggle had not been ignored by neighbors. Snooty as they were, they came over to the house to investigate only to find Yokogara standing over the beheaded corpse of his Father. Startled by the sight of the blood drenched boy, they spread the news around town. The news eventually reached his Master, who personally came to him. Even after hearing what had happened from Yokogara, he did not take such a murder so lightly. Yokogara was lectured, and told that such a thing was prohibited from this program. He was stripped of his Katana, his title within the Assassin’s program, and the remains of his home. Those who were sympathetic to his situation allowed him to bury his brother. He also buried his Father, which he reluctantly decided to do after days of thought. However, once he was packed with enough food and water, the remains of his home were reduced to ash, leaving him with no home. The old man forced him out of the village, and into the wild on his own.
At the age of 18, he had nothing.
Traveling his world for a short while on his own, he had survived off of nothing but scraps and wildlife. However, one day, he had fallen asleep, and awoke in a new world that he didn't quite understand. It had magic and monsters he didn't know about, but it had been enough for him to realize that he was not in the same world. He traveled the lands of the Iron Nation for two years after awakening. During these times, he ran out of food, water, and his will to live. He had nothing left of himself to carry on. He found himself in the desolate land of the ancient ruins, unable to go on any further. He found a place to rest, but soon passed out, going into a deep sleep as his body tried it’s best to keep his sustained. That was then, where his story began.

Evolutionary Traits (Evo's): [10 // 10]
• Blood Eye || 1
→ Grants black eyes that become red when emotional, or are constantly red. Visual acuity is increased, making everything more sharp and lucid, allowing such feats as allowing one to pick out individual leaves on a tree from a hundred yards.
• Mimicry || 3
→ Allows the character to ignore the requirements of Duplication, granting the character's mana the ability to temporarily take on the elemental requirements to cast the spell, and mimic the unique structure of classes. Cost for such spells is increased by five [5] points per rank of the spell or talent.
• Blindsight || 2
→ When vision is impaired by any means, including simply closing one's eyes, the character can "see" in monochrome in all directions up to one hundred [100] meters per Experience Rank. This is an automatic process that sees through any non-living material up to one [1] meter thick. This effect can be activated at any time without blockage by paying five [5] Mana or Stamina, at which time the eyes' colors reverse. This may be maintained as long as desired.
• Skilled Practitioner || 2
→ Selecting this Evo immediately grants access to two [2] Skills otherwise locked to another class or race. Not only can these now be invested in, but the Skill Practitioner gains one [1] Skill Point at every Experience rank. This can only be selected once [1x].

________Library
{Technique Type}:
• Scent Trail
Rank: X :: Training
Duration // Upkeep: Instantaneous
Requirement(s): Tracker class; associated Tracker hunting skills
Description: Trackers find their marks by following trails that would be otherwise near invisible to the average person. But they are not born with the gift; it comes from practice and training. While any Tracker is capable of following a trail, those that focus on this training are able to do it faster and better. Each rank trained in this ability reduces the skill level needed to track creatures of equivalent rank by two [2] points. Likewise each rank of training reduces the number of posts required to track a creature of a rank by one [1] per rank. In other words, E-rank training gives a one [1] post reduction to E-rank creatures; D-rank training provides a one [1] post reduction to D-rank, and [2] to E-rank; etc. Training is done by, of course, tracking creatures of those ranks. Training must be repeated for each of the Tracker’s tracking skills (i.e. Normal Animals, Monsters, etc.). Receives no reductions to learning.
• Silent Steps
Rank: C
Duration // Upkeep: 10 Chakra per post, after initial cost
Requirement(s): Tracker class
Description: As the name suggests, this technique allows the Tracker to move silently, so long as they pay the cost to do so. By focusing chakra into the soles of their feet, the user can walk or run on normal ground without making a sound. However, it does not stop environmental sounds; a stick will still crack and water will still splash if you do not walk over them carefully.

//Royal Taorito
- Changes [✔️ Done // ⭕ In progress // ❌ Haven't done yet ]
✔️ 1. Personal Attributes: In a Flash
This on its own is too powerful, and actually mimics an ability from one of the other races (Shadowborn Entite). Here's a couple suggestions for you, though, to fit it inside of our rules:
- While standing in a shadow or in the dark, they gain a Dodge bonus equal to two [2] ranks lower than themselves.
- While standing in a shadow or in the dark, all spells and abilities that affect the ability to sneak or hide increase in strength by one [1].
- For a cost of five [5] mana per post, they are able to completely conceal themselves in shadows, becoming virtually invisible. This ability ends the moment any action aside from movement is taken. In exchange, they are sensitive to light and any bright, sudden flashes will leave them blinded for one [1] post.
So pick one of those or you can come up with something similar.
✔️ 2. Elements
Everyone can learn Void; it's the equivalent to non-elemental spells. So you can choose another element, if you want, from Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Lightning.
✔️ 3. Evo's and Skills
You have these sort of listed as the same thing, so I think there's some confusion there. I can see why though, because we apparently didn't put a space between evos and skills. Evos are your character's natural abilities, inherited via bloodlines and such, or warped by the world's mana. As a human, you have 10 Evo points to spend on these. With the two you have, you've spent 5.
Skills are what your character has learned along the way, and are separate from Evo's.
