Background
Born amidst the ruins of what was once a glittering jewel of Midgard, Kasai's earliest memories are steeped in the gloom and despair of a city lost to time and tragedy. His birth, a union of demon and dokkalalf during Geffenia's darkest hours, marked him with features both fearsome and fascinating - his horns a constant, painful reminder of his dual heritage.
Geffenia, at the time of Kasai's youth, was a realm where lawlessness reigned supreme, and power was the only currency. It was in this merciless world that Kasai, then Bluhend, witnessed the horrific murder of his mother. Her death, at the hands of those who believed he should have been cast into the abyss at birth, was a defining moment, searing into his soul a deep-seated sense of loss and anger.
Despite the bleakness of his origins, his mother, a creature of grace amidst chaos, showered him with love, nurturing his heart amidst the desolation. In the underbelly of Geffen, where the remnants of elven civilization coexisted uneasily with more civil demons, Kasai grew up surrounded by others who bore the marks of demonic lineage, each a living testament to the city's fall.
In the wake of his mother's murder, Bluhend's path took an unexpected turn. He was taken under the wing of a vampire who sought to impose order upon the chaotic remnants of Geffenia. This vampire, a figure of enigmatic power and vision, recognized the potential lying dormant within the young half-demon. Under this unlikely guardian, Bluhend began to understand and harness the powers inherited from his demonic lineage, shaping him into a being of formidable ability.
Under the tutelage of the enigmatic vampire in the remnants of Geffenia, Bluhend experienced a profound transformation, both in his understanding of his demonic heritage and in his personal identity. During this period, he grappled with a quintessential aspect of his demon nature – the yearning for an essence of the living to feed his soul. For Bluhend, this essence was not physical, but rather, an ethereal one: the raw and potent energy of mortal emotions. Unlike the vampire who sustained himself on the physical lifeblood of others, Bluhend found himself drawn to the intense emotional experiences of the living. It was the spectrum of human feelings – joy, sorrow, fear, love, and anger – that nourished his soul and provided him with a profound sense of connection to the living world.
Under the vampire's guidance, Bluhend learned to sense and, in subtle ways, absorb these emotional energies. He became adept at navigating the complex emotional landscapes of those around him, an ability that lent him both strength and insight. This skill was not about exploitation but understanding and communion with the very essence of what it means to be alive.
In Geffenia, emotions ran high and raw. Fear, despair, anger, and occasional bursts of joy and hope were all palpable in the air. For Bluhend, these emotions were not just ambient feelings; they were powerful currents that he could sense and internalize. This connection provided him with an acute understanding of those around him, allowing him to anticipate actions and reactions, a skill that was invaluable in navigating the city's treacherous landscape. However, this heightened emotional connection also meant that Bluhend was constantly exposed to the suffering and pain of others. The brutality and violence that pervaded Geffenia weighed heavily on him. He experienced the collective grief and fear of the city's inhabitants, which could be overwhelming and emotionally draining. This constant exposure to the darker side of emotions served as a stark reminder of the city's cruel reality.
Bluhend's ability to connect with emotions was a double-edged sword. On one hand, it provided him with insights and empathy uncommon among demons, allowing him to form deeper connections and understandings with both the elves and the more civilized demons of Geffenia. On the other hand, it often placed him in emotional turmoil, as he struggled to reconcile his demonic nature with the flood of emotions that he could not help but absorb. A child born in the shadows of tragedy, hatred and pride about him like swaddling.
This deep connection to the emotional landscape of Geffenia played a significant role in Bluhend's growth. It honed his empathy and understanding, traits that would later influence his decisions and actions. Yet, it also created internal conflict, as he grappled with the stark contrast between his demonic instincts and the human emotions that he had come to understand so intimately.
Enslaved by the faithful of a god not his own.
Breaking his chains, he travelled. On the tides and the eight winds he travelled.
A demon of flame and wind, to his homelands he returned.
