About
Kito was born the first son of a bi-... No! Ahem...The first son of a man who thought he could run a tribe from scratch. It didn't work out well, nineteen children and four wives later, the glorified tribal life had not come into play and Kito's father found himself buried in money troubles.It was then he decided best to start selling what he had too many of namely his own children. Kito was first to go and spent five years with a travelling group of performers until they went bust. The fact that he had been sold to them weighed heavy on him when he found out and whether he has forgiven his parents is uncertain.
Unwilling to go home, he spent six years on the streets of Ul'dah, his acrobatic skill and quick feet kept him out of trouble for most part. Despite his past, Kito is generous, kind in nature even if wary of strangers and anyone who could be taking advantage of him. He may seem naive and innocent, but he is far from.Quite often he will play dumb, he found it works better with protecting his interests. He's perfected that skill and for someone who doesn't know him, it may be hard to distinguish between his real personality and the one he puts on. When he likes someone he will go to great lengths to impress, help or please them, to the point where it will become easy to take advantage of him. Though he tries hard to make sure people don't use him for their own benefit, his recent entanglements are evidence to his strategic failure in that regard.

Hooks
Kito spent enough time on the street to be a known face among the street dwellers.He is very generous and would share whatever food he scrounged with those who are too old, too weak or broken to fend for themselves. It is safe to assume that a lot of people especially on Pearl Lane will have seen him hand out bread and fruit to these unfortunate souls.While on the streets, he built himself a hard to access hidey hole in the attic of a three story building. His abode was only accessible through climbing up three storeys on the brick outer wall. Since Kito is an avid climber this was no problem for him, Climbing is his most developed skill.Once a week he goes to Pearl Lane to heal the poor for free. You could be a patient, or someone who's seen the unconventional healer on the Lane.He is a healer in training, currently looking for work.
IC - Connections
O'mahli Tia ♥
This one might just be Kito's long lost twin brother, as he's come to learn they are practically the same person. First bonding over comparing their "battlescars", through recent development they've become both BFF's and tentative lovers and have since decided to give being together a go.Without need to Mahli stood his ground for Kito in the face of danger, he choose to be there for him without asking anything in return. And while Kito will probably never be able to express it in words, he's forever grateful.
Akhutai Khatayin
Kito ran into this grumpy man when he found him loitering in his usual spot on Pearl Lane. While their initial arrangement was supposed to be strictly monetary, gil in exchange for protection, they got talking and one thing lead to another and they're on a good path to become friends.Bonding over fogweed, wine, hunts and making buuz, Kito's learned that Tai isn't as cold as he pretends to be. He enjoys the man's company, it's a welcome change to the often immature and dangerous other company he keeps. Perhaps one day he'll be able to convince him to take him to the Steppe, so he can see it with his own eyes.
Kisz'a Vekharu
Kisz'a the man who won him over with pocket confetti has proven to be just as creepy as he is entertaining. Kito respects and fears him all the same.While at first he was confused, then endeared, he's peeled back enough layers to rightly say he knows him better. Their relationship ever shifting between varying dynamics has him both interested and tired of peeling masks from the Keeper.He'll keep trying, if only for the fact that in his own way Kisz'a has shown him the rare kindness and compassion he so lacks in his life and there is yet much to learn from the man.
Kuyuk Buduga
Despite what people might think of his tribe, Kuyuk has swept Kito away with his calm demeanor and kind heart. When given the chance, the Xaela didn't rob him blind and instead asked for a tour of Ul'dah. Always curious and wary of the Xaela Kito obliged, bonding over a million questions about the Steppe, its people and customs. They spent time playfighting and fishing, sadly this time was cut short by the Xaela's need to return home.Saddened by this Kito tried to forget about Kuyuk. While he never expected to make friends forever, he was more than happy when Kuyuk came crashing back into his life after many moons. While this visit too was a short blip in his life, it's left a deep scar.
Khasar Ejinn
A friend? A real... friend.
Kito hasn't made a true friend in forever and couldn't be more chuffed to have bumped into Khasar at random.
Kito assumes he has won the energetic man over by throwing his precious sandwhich at an aggressor in the Ul'dahn markets and he is happy he had the guts to do so. Khasar has invited him to his yurt, despite not knowing much about Xaelic customs Kito feels honored and happy to be included. Normally he would walk wide circles around the Xaela kind, nowadays he is excited to learn more about their culture.Kito struggles to talk about where he's come from, how he feels about things and what's going on his mind. He will begrudgingly give up information when he feels it is beneficial to his standing with someone strategic to his ambitions. However, with Khasar there are no such weights, he found the other can effortlessly pull information from him and part of him is happy to have someone to talk to about what's going on in his mind, the other part is alarmed at the frightening rate with which he is opening up to the xaelic charmer. Overall, he is terribly excited to nurture this friendship like a precious little plant.
Elosia
Annoying, pain in the a** and a general nuisance would probably be the words Kito would use to describe Elosia, and yet these words would be meant in the most affectionate way.While they mainly hang out during dangerous jobs for their employer, Kito knows despite all the bullshit that comes out of her mouth, she has his back. In the absence of his many sisters, she's the one he looks to when in need of some good old sibling teasing.She has earned the right to pinch his ears without getting punched and then never spoken to again. Though he would never say it straight to her face, he enjoys her company and the banter they get up to.
J'Takra Tia
Kito met Tak, staring down the barrel of his gun. One thing led to another thing until all things combined caused a chaotic sorta friends with some benefits kinda but not almost situation.Tak's the brother he's never had and while he finds him excruciatingly obnoxious, he also can't drop him. Their arguments are often absurd and fueled by whatever drugs they've taken, Kito knows deep down this one is only going to drag him down. And yet, somehow there's comfort in lying at the bottom of a bottle in a well deep down without a care. There's no where to fall when you're that far down. Things can only go up from here. While he knows he'll probably never peel Tak from the floor of this hole he's sitting in, it's nice to just lie down besides him for a while and pretend he doesn't care about anything.
Levris Corsano
Levris is the kind of friend that is just kind of there without needing to ask for their company. While Kito often takes her kindness for granted and her smothering as nuisance, he does know she means well and tolerates her with the calm he used to tolerate his younger sisters with.
Lance formerly known as Nergui
When Kito first met Lance, he thought he was a bit of a stuttering mess. The skittish Elezen could barely get a sentence out and looked like he was going to pass out any moment.This all changed one fateful afternoon when Kito offered him a fogweed joint. While Lance initially thought he was going to choke to death, the weed actually proved to help with his nervous composure. Ever since then Kito and Lance are on the road to becoming good friends and Lance will always carry the special honor of being his first experimental patient.Fogweed, it cures everything.
Akatash Zelos
This man is the reason Kito is no longer on the street scrounging for leftovers and running for his life at the slightest sight of trouble.
Their relationship has been turbulent, chaotic, violent and although Kito has managed to break free from Akatash's direct orbit, the wounds he's torn are still visible on his soul.Guilt is his companion when around Akatash and while being away deep down he feels he left the broken man without trying to fix him. He's left him to die drowning and he'll never forgive himself for that.Recently, all that foreboding has come to fruition and forever tore their connection. Kito is very aware now that he must stay away from Akatash or be drowned.
L'uth Leha
A fellow street dweller. L'uth has won Kito's trust by accepting him without prejudice or expecting anything from him in return. While he thought of her as a sister, mother, lover all in one convenient combination, he's since come to dislike her.Choosing another over him for her permanent mate, hurt his pride and his feelings in a way hard to recover.He's thus dropped her at the bottom of his pile of priorities and has wiped her existence of his emotional hard drive until further notice.
Aimon Daevos
Daevos is an acquaintance met through Kito's affiliation with Akatash. The man is secretive and lives a hermit life after his most recent heist went quite terribly wrong. Kito doesn't know that and considers the aging con-man an ally and close friend.Daevos let Kito stay with him for a while, in this time he has offered to teach him conjury. Though Kito is more interested in the healing properties of conjury he took the lessons even though Daevos is more of a destructive conjurer given his background. On a side note, Daevos is the man who raised Akatash and perhaps the only person to whom the other shows any signs of respect and humanity. Kito keeps contact with Daevos for this reason. On occasion, Daevos will reach out with odd but lucrative jobs he has managed to get his hands on via his many many connections. If you need someone who knows a guy, who knows a guy... Daevos is your best bet.
Ianthe Rayne
More of an acquaintance, Kito has come to know Ianthe through a job gone terribly wrong. She was present when he scorched the top of his right hand beyond repair. He doesn't know her well enough to have an opinion of her beyond creeping suspicion that she and his lover Akatash had a tumble or two behind his back.This suspicion has only worsened through recent encounters. She's the first one to annoy him enough to use his magic for defense rather than healing. Though he has no intention of actually murdering her, he does not wish her well and should they ever cross paths again it is uncertain what will come of it.
Antony Fox
Through his recent employment Kito has met the good Doctor Fox. Despite better judgment, he feels admiration towards the tall dark man. Though he is Antony's opposite in almost every way he wishes very much to be perhaps a little like him.Kito is not normally one to be confused when it comes to friendship, though in the case of Antony a confusing mix of everything keeps his mind in a hold and often leads to dumb decisions he later regrets. The urge to please and make the Doctor proud is strong and creeps Kito out when he has his mind to himself again away from the Doctor's presence.He's made the decision to learn from Antony, whilst that feels like playing with fire at the same time, his drive to become more than the grey little street rat he once was is stronger than his want for emotional integrity.
V'os Tia
Kito has known V'os since the dark days when they both were dwelling on the streets. While V'os is a more colourful character and not as reserved and cautious as Kito, they tended to take care of each other.Kito cares for V'os in a way a younger sibling might care for their out of line, drug addict brother. When he does not see what V'os is up to he tends to forget, but when he is around him or reminded of the life the other leads, he seems to turn into a babysitter. This is very much to the other's aggravation and V'os seems to hate this attitude.
Some days Kito doesn't know whether he loves, hates or pities the fool.

Out of character
What I am looking forI am a storyteller, I write plot-lines with layers and multiple connections. Things are seldom what they seem and I welcome inquisitive interesting characters to my plot-lines. I am looking for like minded people, who are interested in telling a story and progressing their characters through it. I prefer for people to find out most things about my character during RP, I tend to not give away things ooc and will encourage people to find out IC. Kito is tied with an FC, but I am still open to meeting other people and dragging them along for the ride. Let's create some tales together!What you can expect of meI have been role-playing for about ten years now and am therefore open and flexible with my RP. My style is fluid and I match my posting size and writing style to my RP partner and the situation. I strive for realism, honesty and fun. I prefer if things develop naturally, especially when it comes to ERP and relationships. I am detached from what my character feels, thinks or does and would expect the same from my rp-partners. If things between our characters do not work out as anticipated, it is not the end of the world, it is progression.If you've read through all these pages and are still interested, hit me up on Discord- BrotherDeath#2749
