Name: Konoe
Fandom: Lamento ~Beyond the Void~
History link: Here, Here and Here ,
Since there is little history portrayed in these three sites, I will try to explain it more here.
Leaks is a powerful magician, but the village shunned him because he was so powerful and as a result, he lived in the forest all alone.
One day a poet, Shui (who is also Konoe's father), was walking through the forest and met the CRANKY Leaks. Leaks didn't want friends or anyone to be close to him, but the poet was persistent and started coming to see him everyday. Eventually, Leaks started having tea ready. He secretly enjoyed the poets stories and conversations, even though Leaks never said much. Soon Leaks started letting down his guard and the poet became happy to the point where, even if it had never been stated, they were in love with each other.
Soon the visits became fewer and further apart. After all, the poet was an important man in the town and his wife was pregnant with their first child. But even with his lessening visits, the poet promised he would never tell the villagers where Leaks lived. But one day, the village found out and burned his house to the ground.
Leaks felt betrayed and accused the poet of telling them where his house was. As punishment poet's wrong doing, he cursed the child so that they would have all the emotions that Leaks himself never let free as well as the exact looks of the magician.
Then, Konoe then was born. Cursed before his birth and to make matters worse, he was born with a bent tail, which is shameful for any cat.
Age: 18
Canon point: Konoe will be from the point where he and Rai first start traveling around together and he becomes Rai's Sanga.
Personality:
Konoe's personality is easily summed up as overly emotional and expressive. Because of the curse Leaks placed on him from his father's wrong doing, Konoe is forced to bare all the emotions Leaks never got to project.
In the beginning, Konoe is determined to live a solitary life with no one beside him, even though by nature he's a very open and friendly person who truly enjoys the company of others. Despite this and his hardships, Konoe is extremely loyal to those he really cares for. He is willing go to extreme lengths to protect those people, even showing a great deal of courage.
Because of the barbaric sacrifice ritual of his village (which Konoe was chosen to be the next sacrifice for), Konoe hates cruelty and killing. But, he is not as naive as he looks, and knows that it is sometimes necessary. Even with that being said, Konoe is a capable fighter who refuses to back down and let himself be intimidated. He will not stand for being harassed.
Although he has some control over his fear, Konoe cannot help but be scared of fire. This can more than likely be related back to the way Leaks's home was destroyed. The fear of it is instilled into him because of it.
Even being as self-confident as he is, there are two traits he is ashamed of and dislikes being reminded of. The first is his crooked tail; to Ribika, their tails are a great source of pride and many times you will see them complementing each other on how straight and beautiful their tails are. For Konoe, this isn't the case. Instead of compliments, many only stare or make comments about it. The first person to really say he liked his tail was Rai and even with that, he still finds it a source of great embarrassment.
Konoe's other problem is that he is really bad with directions. In the city, he get lost fairly easily. When the others find out, they make remarks on how surprised they are to the point where Konoe wants to sink down and disappear.
Besides those small insecurities, Konoe is a rather charming and kind guy. He's also a little too trusting at times, which causes Rai to call him an 'stupid cat' constantly. But even with the insults, Konoe doesn't get so upset because that's just how Rai is.
As far as other people Konoe trusts, there is Asato. Asato always seems to like to steal his attention away from Rai and also can be quite affectionate. The other would be Bardo, who is like a father to Rai and speaks to Konoe about him. There are only a few besides those two that Konoe would fully trust and follow. But for Konoe, trust sometimes comes too naturally, while with others, he has a hard time getting used to.
Powers/Abilities:
In Lamento, there a two-person combat teams. Similar to the canon, Loveless (except the concept of losing ears and tail), these two-person teams consist of a Touga (a fighter) and a Sanga (a 'sacrifice'), where a person can call forth "song" by singing. This is where it becomes quite different from Loveless. The Touga, using only their natural strength, will fight while the Sunga calls forth "song", which powers the Touga and amplifies their abilities.
Though, finding partners (a Touga and Sanga pair) can be hard to find. While the Touga can be anyone, a Sanga is born as a Sanga.
Konoe is a Sanga, which is why some pursued him. He is able to call forth "song" but is really not much help without his Touga.
But besides his skills as a Sanga, Konoe isn't that amazing. He has normal fighting skills and can defend himself if need be with his dagger, and if worse came to worse; tooth and nail.
Prose sample:
Gentle beams of sun and birds chirping filled the room from the open window. In the room laid a figure that seemed to stir awake from the sunlight and sounds. As Konoe woke, he turned his body and patted the place next to him, expecting to feel another body. When the feel of another persons warmth escaped him, he pushed himself up on his side and looked at the empty spot before looking around at the room. An ear flicked backwards as he listened for a certain voice. Not hearing it, he sighed lightly and sat back on his butt.Though it was still fairly early, he thought maybe Rai was already out with Bardo, though he was surprised he woke up without the normal ear nipping affection he received so often. Even if he was missing the little affection, he shrugged it off. There was no point in worrying; it was Rai, after all.
I'll have to find him, now...that he left me behind.
After assuring himself it was okay, he leaned forward in the bed and stuck his rear in the air, extending his arms out while gripping the sheets softly. A light popping of the joints in his spine was heard as he stretched. For Konoe, it was a typical stretch to do in the morning. Though for any human, it would probably seem quite strange or rather cat-like. Then again, the ears and tail would throw off almost anyone besides another ribika or 'cat', as they called themselves.
Once he stretched for the morning, Konoe stood from the bed and worked on finding his pants and any other clothes he owned. If Rai knew anything, it was how to make it hard for him to find his clothes. There were pieces everywhere; his shirt was behind the bed, his pants by the door - even his arm guards were scatters along with his shoes. After the 'find his clothes' game, he worked on putting the pieces back on his body, being sure to not forget anything. The last article he needed before he left the room was the small dagger and belt that was on the end table. It wasn't anything grand, but it was his and if he ran into any trouble, he could at least defend himself until someone came to his aid. Tightening the belt with a final tug, he reached for the door and turned the knob to leave the room, shutting the door behind him as he exited; little did he know how much he would leave it all behind.
Konoe kept his eyes closed in some hope that Rai was outside the door. He gave a low grumble as he spoke. "Rai...you better not leave me again, because if I get lost, you can't make fun of....me?" His voice fell to a whisper as he opened his cat-like eyes. His pupils widened from the lack of light. A look of confusion, and yet amazement, covered his face as he stood in yet another room. Only this room, wasn't at the tavern. Or any other that he had seen before. In an almost lightning fast reaction, he spun around and threw the door open. But this time, he would only find a hallway that replaced where he and Rai once shared room was.
"This...can't be..." his voice was weak now as the confusion began to set in. There was no way that could happen. Logically, there should have been their room on the other side of the door. Konoe felt the panic of the situation begin to rush over him as he began to open and shut the door rapidly in hopes that the room would return. When it didn't after five minutes or so, he dropped to his knees in the open doorway, ears folded to his head as his tail laid lifelessly on the ground.
"Where am I...."
