Kinos
Kinos, a tall, charming, and Strong cat man who is popular with some ladies among Nathlion. He has been known to be really honorable even for an ex-slave cat man. Though he is slightly young in his 20's, Kinos has great manners. Though some see him as submissive, he can switch from one to another. He still can be dominant even though he enjoys a little submissive now and then. He walks with cat like grace, but acts like he is a very unworthy man towards others. His tiger like features would show and his dark forest green eyes would hypnotize some.
Kinos was a small lad who grew up in the mountains to the east, in a village called BoneBro. It was a tribe of cat people who called themselves the Worens. Though the race had a mixed type of cat people, they weren't to far off in bravery. Kinos was a Tiger Woren who worked with his family on a farm. With a strict father and a polite mother he knew discipline as well as his manners. With his great abilities and skills, he was decided to be a warrior. Though unfortunately a few days before this could be done, disaster struck. At the dawn of a bloody day, kinos woke to hear screams. Though tired, Kinos jumped seemed to be startled by the screams, and looked out his window to see orcs, trolls and even some of his own kind attacking the village setting houses on fire. He grabbed his dagger and ran out to fight them. He dashed toward an orca but then heard a laugh. Before he was half way there, he felt dizzy and a surge of pain on the back of his head and fell to the ground everything turning black. When he woke he could smell smoke as though it surrounded him. He quickly stood to see a village empty but still on fire. Kinos quickly rushed into homes pulling out bodies from burning houses, saving only a few. The rest he found dead and slaughtered. Though his grief of loosing family and friends he seeked revenge, Running out to kill his family's murderers.
One year later after Miles of travel and searching, he was enslaved by a rich family and was used for labor in the woods. He learned to hunt and chop wood well here and seemed to escape his master and mistress, stealing some money which started his career as a Thief. From here he stole for his money, from pick pocketing to stealing food to survive. He became quick with his movements to be sure that he got what he needed and his search once again began. He was 18 when he came across a dojo. Curious, he approached it planning to steal some more only to be brought down by a master of the fighting style, Ryu Kuro ((Black Dragon)). He was trained under this increasing his cat like balance even more though he still had a habit of being clumsy. He left without finishing his training to find his murderers once again.
Soon, days turned to weeks, weeks to months, and months to years. He walked into Nathlion in the early morning when he was just turning 22. He seemed a friendly person and was polite to those around him. He gathered supplies to go to the next town, but then thought to take a break. He looked around for rumors of an orc clan, which people told him that one had been slaughtered days ago. Kinos seemed to feel slightly adrift with his revenge done for him But sought out to make sure every last one was dead. Finding a few still left alive in a cave He used his dagger to fight off the enemies. He was successful in his killing and felt revived but now that revenge was over what would he do now? He had no family to go home to. He thought for a moment and stayed at the inn one night to see what the land was like here. Finding it to his liking, he wondered around seeing the town and even the baths. Seeing how things were going his way, He decided to stay a while at the Inn. Never regretting this decision, He had fun in meeting a few new friends while wondering and first decided to stay a month or two and return home. When he did return home he found it a dry wasteland with few people and came back to the warm inn to stay. He felt at ease making new friends and living this life style though never dropped some old habits of his. Kinos still worked out often to stay in shape. He could finally relax with comfort, and do things he always wanted to try.
Now and days you can find Kinos hanging around the inn like any normal feline. Though polite he still has his charming looks and personality to occasionally get a cute bartender or a girl having some fire wine. He may not be the most popular person along the bar line but he still enjoy some fun now and then. He carries his sword which was given to him for his bravery in inn and seems to be happy with it. If this feline is in your sight be sure to be friendly to him and he might invite you for a drink. Who knows? He may even become your new friend.
