Kikka Inuyama

Kikka Inuyama

He comes from a small clan, the Inuyama. They are closed off mountain people with severe sexism and toxic masculinity issues.
He has two older brothers, a younger sister. and a dog waiting for him at home.
His people despise gods and anything affiliated with it, especially divine magic. Due to this, when Kikka starts to show "symptoms" of being a divine champion after a strange dream, they have a choice to make. Remove this "curse" or banish him. His close family kept him secret for weeks, hoping the issue will go away, but his powers just grew more and more.
Luckily their outsider friend, Inoha seemed to know someone who can help. "She's called Eleria, and she can remove curses like these" she said. What they didn't know is that Inoha is a cleric herself (pretending to be a druid to be able to continue her association with the clan). Her goal was to put Kikka in the care of someone who is capable to train him, then Kikka can have a choice in what to do next.
Kikka was incredibly upset about it when he found out. But very soon he started to enjoy the training, and slowly realise how close minded his own people are, rejecting things automatically without a second thought.
Of course at first he felt ashamed for his powers, but deep inside he REALLY enjoyed the ability of healing, and he really REALLY likes everything that Aski stands for. The more he learns the more he likes it.
He's still insecure (and incredibly worried about how he will ever go back to his family), but by now he does want to be a good cleric.
He's also insecure and distrustful towards the other students. But by now he is aware of that not everyone who is suspicious to him is automatically a bad person, so he tries to stay open minded and listen first before he passes judgement. (Not always succeeding)
When the others (meaning: Marsy :D) asked him why he is here, he didn't want to admit his "shame" so he said it's to become a fighter. Hoewever, he's extremely bad at lying and blurted out the truth just a couple of days later.

A flower-like birth mark on his left arm.

Mental characteristics

Gender Identity

Very cis male.

Sexuality

He doesn't know yet, but he is very much gay (probably internalised homophobia from his clan though).

He finds androgynous men pretty.

Education

In his clan he was thaught dog handling, training and breeding. Some basic fighting skills and he has a little knowledge about camping out in the wilderness for short period of times.

With Elaria, he learnt a bit about Skylark, it's history and especially about the gods themselves, as part of his cleric training.

Accomplishments & Achievements

His healing power first manifested when he cured a sickly pup. He was granted permission to keep that pup (though his parent's didn't realise at the time it was not simply nursing it back through 'normal' mthods and luck).

Mental Trauma

As youngest child he has inferiority complex, and now that he is a cleric, he knows he will be outcast of his clan, should he show any of his abilities if he goes back.
While by now he understands that his caln is being unreasonabley judgemnatl, deeming anything god related neccesarily evil, and he disagrees with it, he can't help but feel that somehow he failed his family by not being 'normal'.

Intellectual Characteristics

He is very perceptive, but often draws the wrong conclusion because of his many prejudicies.

Morality & Philosophy

He thinks 'you should follow the rules' and 'do the right thing'.
But lately he starts to realise that sometimes the rules are not just and sooner or later he snaps and choses his inner morale on top of rules. He is alos a bit of a coward though, when it comes to confrontating with authority figures, so sometimes it takes a while before he snaps.
Has self-sacrificing tendencies, but he realised lately that as a support, it's better for everyone if he stays alive and help them. :'D

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

He wants to help people.

Possibly later on as he gets more confident in his skills, and more conviction of being cleric is a blessing, he might want to change the way his clan thinks. But that's probably a while until he gets there.

Dislikes dishonest people, cruel people, unreliable people, injustice, wasting food. He hates uncertanty above everything, he gets really anxious.

Quick to judge, stubborn, can be hasty and petty, prone to anxiety if he's stuck.

Not overly concerned with hygine, but he washes his body in a bowl of water daily if he can, and baths once a week.
He would eat things from the floor after dusting them off, and eats food that's 'barely gone wrong'

He comes from a small town, Inuyama in Kuta Ukrypt He came to Elaria under the impression that his "sinful" cleric abilities will be removed. Elaria trained him to reach his full potential instead.
