[BASIC_INFO] ORIGIN (BACKSTORY) Kiran hails from the kingdom of Selentis. The second son of a marquess, Kiran did not have to worry about becoming the next head of their family. Gifted with mana, Kiran delved into sorcery and swordsmanship with the intent to join the knighthood. It was evident early on that Kiran was a prodigy in both. Kiran was a bright-eyed child, and once he came of age, he chose to pursue his desire to become a knight, joining the army to serve Selentis by aiding lands in times of plague, war, and famine. Kiran left home and traversed Runith, going where the Crown ordered him to in order to use his skills in the name of his homeland. Kiran chased this dream, but instead found a nightmare. In his travels, Kiran was exposed to the realities of war, greed, and corruption. Kiran's hopeful outlook dimmed, and he began to grow resentful and weary. He sees the evil in the powerful, and how the poor and vulnerable suffer for it. Kiran's mental health has began to fracture from the atrocities he has been exposed to. Once soft-hearted, he has grown jaded. Kiran has returned home to find some sort of direction and a bit of solace, as he feels that he is at the brink of losing his morality and his control.
