Character Depth
Personality:
Kabel has several prominent personality quirks. He is a gourmet, particularly about ramen and tea. Despite his very humble upbringing, he has a very upper class palette with a strong tendency towards very clean flavors where each ingredient can be tasted within the dish as well as together. He can be very snobbish when discussing food with others. He has his own set of metal chopsticks which he keeps maintained after every meal. This fastidious in what and how Kabel eats is a large portion of the foundation of his personality.
Another quirk is his patience which manifests itself through most visibly in his way of speaking. Kabel does not answer a question right away, preferring to mull the question over before giving his answer. This has made others think he is slow-witted or more often disinterested in what they said. It is the opposite, the more time he takes to answer; the more interested he is in the question that was given. The other manifestation of his patience is the amount of details he will put into whatever he is focusing on, whether that is a plan, some sort of project, or the casual conversation. Everything must be analyzed and constructed to convey the desired meaning without any obfuscation.
Discipline is the last personality quirk or stubbornness depending on who you ask. Once Kabel has made up his mind on anything, he will refuse to change it. This can also be used in a more positive fashion, especially when it comes to secrets or on long missions. This tenacity can cause friction with teammates that do not have the same drive as him. This discipline also shows in his will to stay true to himself, betrayal on his part is a foreign concept, unfortunately this too can be abused by those he respects.
Appearance:
i.imgur.com/JmjSXnY.png
Standing at 5’ 10, Kabel is just above the average height for his age group. His weight at 150 pounds, is as normal as can be. His muscles are not particular visible and are more cordlike in structure than usual bodybuilder type. It helps increase his flexibility and increases that whip motion that is needed for wire and puppet string manipulation. His most notable feature is his long thin fingers that resemble a pianist’s. Dexterity and endurance are his primary physical attributes with quick acceleration as a side effect of his light body build.
The lack of long instances of light in his birth country and in his village manifests itself in Kabel’s pale skin which is marred by many scars of various sizes on his back from his past as an orphan. His blue eyes sparkle like ice when the light hits them and are reminiscent of the icebergs in the land of Frost. His hair would be a light color as well if it weren’t the strong genetics of his mother who had hair as black as a raven’s feathers and he carries that same trait. His hair is often kept short with a prominent widow’s peak, but as of late he has taken to letting it grow out.
His clothing normally consists of a pale grey long sleeve shirt where he rolls up the sleeves and loose cotton pants of the same color. He does not wear shoes and instead prefers to wrap his feet as well as his hands in bandages. He does this to feel more of the ground or whatever he is standing on to detect any changes in the terrain. He wears circular sunglasses and wraps his shinobi headband on his left shoulder. His combat attire is usually a full length hooded cloak which he hides his hands under.
Background:
Somewhere in the land of Frost there is scroll that has the names of Kabel’s parents, who knows whether they were strong or not. The only thing of note was an inscription of the words Huginn and Muninn, a title perhaps. In any case, Kabel was found as a baby among the fiery ruin of a town with the bodies of his parents strewn out in the snow as well as other fellow Frost shinobi and some Snow shinobi by a wandering druid. The druid raised Kabel as a child of nature and showed him the mysteries of the land, though for Kabel the most fascinating part of the druid was the tinkering that the old man did. Creating charms and totems were a large part of the druid’s lifestyle, he would hand them out whether he was given something in exchange or not. They were for all the little details in life, protection from nightmares and prayer for a love one or for a good harvest. Helping make these items was Kabel’s first glimpse into the world of engineering.
At the age of 6, shinobi from Yukigakure came through on a diplomatic mission to the feudal lord of the land of Frost. The druid was becoming too weak in his old age to care for a growing child and gave over custody of Kabel to Yukigakure. An orphan twice over, that was Kabel as he made his appearance in his new home. He was not only an orphan but a foreigner. Pity and morbid curiosity formed an odd mixture as he entered the academy, once their curiosity and pity were used up and satisfied, Kabel was alone in this world. For him it became a sense of freedom from burden. No one felt compelled to act as the bringer of normalization; he learned what he wanted, trained how he wanted. He felt that he could become whatever he set his mind to without any preconceived notion of tradition.
At the graduation ceremony, no one was there to congratulate him. Surrounded by his peers, he was an island resisting the currents which everyone else followed. As the rest of the new genin left with their families, he still sat at his spot and even began to slouch; a teacher that was helping clean up came over and asked him what he was going to do. Kabel’s reply simple, “Whatever and wherever”. He finally left the auditorium as they were about to just toss him out. Walking out into the night sky, Kabel looked up at the stars and smiled. A wind of change was coming.

Character Depth
Personality:
Kabel has several prominent personality quirks. He is a gourmet, particularly about ramen and tea. Despite his very humble upbringing, he has a very upper class palette with a strong tendency towards very clean flavors where each ingredient can be tasted within the dish as well as together. He can be very snobbish when discussing food with others. He has his own set of metal chopsticks which he keeps maintained after every meal. This fastidious in what and how Kabel eats is a large portion of the foundation of his personality.
Another quirk is his patience which manifests itself through most visibly in his way of speaking. Kabel does not answer a question right away, preferring to mull the question over before giving his answer. This has made others think he is slow-witted or more often disinterested in what they said. It is the opposite, the more time he takes to answer; the more interested he is in the question that was given. The other manifestation of his patience is the amount of details he will put into whatever he is focusing on, whether that is a plan, some sort of project, or the casual conversation. Everything must be analyzed and constructed to convey the desired meaning without any obfuscation.
Discipline is the last personality quirk or stubbornness depending on who you ask. Once Kabel has made up his mind on anything, he will refuse to change it. This can also be used in a more positive fashion, especially when it comes to secrets or on long missions. This tenacity can cause friction with teammates that do not have the same drive as him. This discipline also shows in his will to stay true to himself, betrayal on his part is a foreign concept, unfortunately this too can be abused by those he respects.
Appearance:
i.imgur.com/JmjSXnY.png
Standing at 5’ 10, Kabel is just above the average height for his age group. His weight at 150 pounds, is as normal as can be. His muscles are not particular visible and are more cordlike in structure than usual bodybuilder type. It helps increase his flexibility and increases that whip motion that is needed for wire and puppet string manipulation. His most notable feature is his long thin fingers that resemble a pianist’s. Dexterity and endurance are his primary physical attributes with quick acceleration as a side effect of his light body build.
The lack of long instances of light in his birth country and in his village manifests itself in Kabel’s pale skin which is marred by many scars of various sizes on his back from his past as an orphan. His blue eyes sparkle like ice when the light hits them and are reminiscent of the icebergs in the land of Frost. His hair would be a light color as well if it weren’t the strong genetics of his mother who had hair as black as a raven’s feathers and he carries that same trait. His hair is often kept short with a prominent widow’s peak, but as of late he has taken to letting it grow out.
His clothing normally consists of a pale grey long sleeve shirt where he rolls up the sleeves and loose cotton pants of the same color. He does not wear shoes and instead prefers to wrap his feet as well as his hands in bandages. He does this to feel more of the ground or whatever he is standing on to detect any changes in the terrain. He wears circular sunglasses and wraps his shinobi headband on his left shoulder. His combat attire is usually a full length hooded cloak which he hides his hands under.
Background:
Somewhere in the land of Frost there is scroll that has the names of Kabel’s parents, who knows whether they were strong or not. The only thing of note was an inscription of the words Huginn and Muninn, a title perhaps. In any case, Kabel was found as a baby among the fiery ruin of a town with the bodies of his parents strewn out in the snow as well as other fellow Frost shinobi and some Snow shinobi by a wandering druid. The druid raised Kabel as a child of nature and showed him the mysteries of the land, though for Kabel the most fascinating part of the druid was the tinkering that the old man did. Creating charms and totems were a large part of the druid’s lifestyle, he would hand them out whether he was given something in exchange or not. They were for all the little details in life, protection from nightmares and prayer for a love one or for a good harvest. Helping make these items was Kabel’s first glimpse into the world of engineering.
At the age of 6, shinobi from Yukigakure came through on a diplomatic mission to the feudal lord of the land of Frost. The druid was becoming too weak in his old age to care for a growing child and gave over custody of Kabel to Yukigakure. An orphan twice over, that was Kabel as he made his appearance in his new home. He was not only an orphan but a foreigner. Pity and morbid curiosity formed an odd mixture as he entered the academy, once their curiosity and pity were used up and satisfied, Kabel was alone in this world. For him it became a sense of freedom from burden. No one felt compelled to act as the bringer of normalization; he learned what he wanted, trained how he wanted. He felt that he could become whatever he set his mind to without any preconceived notion of tradition.
At the graduation ceremony, no one was there to congratulate him. Surrounded by his peers, he was an island resisting the currents which everyone else followed. As the rest of the new genin left with their families, he still sat at his spot and even began to slouch; a teacher that was helping clean up came over and asked him what he was going to do. Kabel’s reply simple, “Whatever and wherever”. He finally left the auditorium as they were about to just toss him out. Walking out into the night sky, Kabel looked up at the stars and smiled. A wind of change was coming.
