//Character basics

Name: Karu Izumi
Age: 22
Race: Elementalist/elemental
Sexuality: Bisexual
Occupation: Travels with his sister now that they are reunited.
They live: Home is in a nomadic elemental village
Background: Karu was born to his mother Aekea in and Elementalist village. He was an illegitimate child. The father a Summoner. King in fact. However Aekea swears he has changed into an evil and corrupt man now. His mother did infact tell him that he had a sister, Kari Izumi, but they were separated at birth, for she was a Summoner. But Karu was born with an Elemental birth mark. It was lightning, that was his chosen element. So despite being illegitimate, the village had to take him in because he was chosen by the gods.

Karu studied through the elders and learned to perfect his skill. He fought in the vigilantes, or the village's partol security, when he was older. He defended the village from bandits and thieves, and soon became known as "The Lightning Striker" to his enemies. He struck fear into their hearts. He was soon promoted to leader of the town's defense. Much to his dislike. Despite his badass persona, he was pretty gentle, but the badass came out when he was fighting. But sometimes he wished he didn't have an element meant to kill.

Eventually, three visitors came to the village. Aekea had just passed away. And the one blonde haired girl had the same half sun half cresent moon necklace. The woman turned out to be his twin sister Kari. The other two were Haru and Haku, the Horned Ones she was travelling with. Karu fell head over heels in love with Haru. Ironic that the twins had fallen in love with the other twins. But soon after another group of bandits attacked the village. And Karu gave his life to keep the town protected. However the elders gave their lives and passed down their knowledge to him to bring him back to life. And shortly thereafter, Haru was killed. It left Karu devastated. He decided to stay in the village and teach the young elementals for awhile. After the Summoner City was destroyed, Karu eventually joing back up with Kari. Popping in and out randomly, having his own business to attend to...

//The inside

Personality: Karu The Lightning Striker. To those who don't know him, he is a fierce battler, and does not hesitate. He gives off a badass persona, that can be a bit intimidating to others. And he uses that to his advantage.

But those who know him, see him very differently. He is kind hearted and peaceful. And not the least bit badass, exept for when he was pissed, but for the most part that was his sister's job. He was more self reserved and kept to himself. But he is beoming more and more outgoing and outspoken ever since he has joined up with his sister, she has had a positive effect on him. He does like to act a bit cool though, mainly thats the effect of his lightning element. And also he always keeps his wits and itelligent sharp. He can be pretty selfless too
