Biography:

Kyuro was born the landlord's son of a small village. On the day before his eighth birthday, the village was ravaged by a horde of mountain bandits, killing both his parents and two sisters. Kyuro, then hiding in a cupboard, was eventually discovered by one of the bandits. Just when the bandit raised his arm to strike the child with his sword, an unseen palm struck the bandit right in the chest, killing the bandit on the spot.

It turned out that the palm belonged to an old monk who happened to pass by the village. After saving the child in the cupboard, the old monk offered him to join him in his travels back to the monastery of St. Cuthbert, the god of retribution. Burning with vengeance, Kyuro agreed.

Kyuro was an exceptional student, though often reckless and unforgiving. When Kyuro was 13, after a particular incident that left another student almost dead, Kyuro's master interfered. Kyuro was heavily chastised by the master. As punishment, Kyuro's hands were bound together by cloth, a symbol that he shall not fight over the smallest thing.

Kyuro still keeps his hands bound until this day as a sign of respect to his master. He believes in 'repentance' - that a person, no matter how evil, can turn back to the right path when properly instructed. He tries not to resort to violence no matter the circumstances, only to stun his opponent long enough for him to get away at the most. However, his hatred towards bandits still rages deep in his heart, therefore he would not hesitate to kill anyone who kills. In his words, "What goes around, comes around."

Appearance:

Kyuro is a few hairs short of five feet, not very tall of an adventurer of his age. His skin is tanned to a healthy brown, and he has black hair.

He wears light traveller clothing - a sleeveless shirt covered by a cloth vest, worn long pants and sandals. His arms are wrapped with cloth and are bound at the wrists, leaving him with just about enough freedom for daily activities.
