Description

:bulletred: I have two versions of Kaiko; a medieval-fantasy and modern-fantasy version. The ref here has his medieval fantasy form, but it's hardly different from the other one. Medieval one has a carriage wheel, modern has bicycle wheel. That is all.) The text here is mostly he modern fantasy version's stuff except for the actual backstory. It's a mess, I know :iconmingplz:

------------------------


I should be working on other things but.. Well.. When this second-character thing came up.. I just had to get this done finally. Been wanting to revamp him for RTG since spring or summer and.. Yeah.. Stuff.. I don't wanna postpone this any longer and forget. :I And I was GOING To leave this thing flat-colour so the colours would be easier to make out but.. I got OCD and had to throw in SOME minor shading. Nothing too fancy, but still some.

Now I should study for a geography exam. |'D But lazy.. Maybe I'll just work on that one B-day picture. ;u; *Slooow* But still..

Kukukuku, GUESS WHO IS BACK?
Mr. mentally challenged and delusional NinjaBat! :dummy: Though this time a bit.. different. Because this is not Pocket-Hearts. 

And yep, Bebe has been promoted from a pet to a Familiar Spirit! Though he's still mute and blind. So as useless as before~. He's also bee cutiefied. Because I LOVE bats. So I wanted to make him look more.. Real-life bat -like. No more Zubat.
Oh, and yes, he's in-scale on the app. Unlike Illwos on Ilka's app. :'D I was thinking about making Bebe a bit larger, but I kinda like him like that.. Like a cat with huge-butt wings..

:bulletred: A lighter-colour version of these images because I know my laptop's screen is really bright and.. Well, what is normal to me is often really dark to other computers, welp..

:bulletred: 

:bulletblack:~~~~~:bulletblack:
(Warning: Tons of text. But what can I do, he's one of my more developed OCs sooo. :iconimsotiredplz:)

:iconcorkaikoplz:
:bulletblack: Name: Kaiko. (Given name: Kaire Ekko Gorel. But he doesn't acknowledge that name because of reasons.)

:bulletblack: Species: Fruit Bat
:bulletblack: Elemental Alignment:
- Primary: Shadow
- Secondary: Air

:bulletblack: Gender: Male
:bulletblack: Age: 22 at the beginning of the main story  But thinks he's 17. Yes, I'll get to the reasons later.
:bulletblack: Birthday: Unknown (Sagittarius, may that be your hint.) Even he has no idea, heck, he doesn't even know he's the age he is! He actually thinks age is related to one's height rather than time.

:bulletblack: Personality in short: 
Positive:
Cheery | Playful | Accepting | Helpful | Honest
Good sense of right and wrong

Negative:
Naivé | Confused (even if doesn't realise it)
Reckless | Childish | Mentally challenged | Delusional


:bulletblack: Job: Self-proclaimed ninja.
Kaiko really thinks he's a ninja despite not knowing what exactly they are. He THINKS he does, but it's all just a part of his delusion. Wherever there is a hole in the logic, his mind will seamlessly patch it in his mind. He has his own view on what ninjas are and he happily lives by that image. Dark clothes, sneaking about, trying to find an defeat the samurai... That's his calling.

:bulletblack: Height: 5'3'' (~162cm)

:bulletblack: Notes: His elemental alignment makes him REALLY lightweight. He looks normal, a bit skinny, but weights only 25 or so kilos (56lbs). It's almost as if half of the weight he should have is just air and illusions...


Bullet; PurpleSkillsBullet; Purple
Kaiko doesn't really like fighting for real. He doesn't like hurting people! But if he really has to, he will. And he's surprisingly efficient with his speed and the few spells he knows.
Skills:
- Sonar
 (Being a bat, Kaiko can use sonar to sense his surroundings. This makes up for his born blindness quite nicely.)
- Spiraling Winds (Kaiko is able to control wind to some extent. He can create small but strong whirlwinds that can knock over smaller opponents. He does not know how to make the winds go straight though. Only knows how to make a spinny little twisters.)
- Fiery Explosion (This is a bit off an odd one... He wasn't born with this skill, but he once came upon a man who granted him this ability even if he wasn't fire elemental. Now Kaiko is able to summon forth fierce explosions and walls of fire. Luckily, Kaiko only uses them if he has to or wants to look cool. Even if he has no idea what fire looks like. He just knows it's cool!)
- Unknown (He has a few more innate skills but he's yet to discover them. Maybe one day he will.)


Bullet; PurpleHome area: Wanderer
Kaiko has no home. He just wanders around, either alone or with his two friends, Sener and Tulio. 

:bulletblack:Personality:bulletblack:
First things first, you should never take this guy's words too seriously. Most of the things Kaiko 'knows' are actually just creations of his imagination. He is a really confused person but he just doesn't realize it, in his mind EVERYTHING makes PERFECT sense, when in reality it doesn't. He doesn't lie, not on purpose, but many of the things he thinks are true.. Simply are not. He just doesn't know it. He is an honest kid, even to a fault, but he just is a bit.. Well.. Stupid and uneducated..

Yes. He's a real-life nut. He honestly and truly thinks he is a ninja by the name of 'Kaiko' and can often be seen hopping around (with the help of his wings) over the rooftops and trees, hiding in the shadows (or where he thinks there are shadows, he might just as well be in plain sight, but in his head he thinks he has an amazing hiding spot) and keeping an eye on people. Or.. So he thinks. As you may see from the app, he is blind, not just because of the blindfold, but legitly blind. But he can navigate his surroundings with his high-pitched squeaks and sonar. He has been that way ever since he was born so he has no idea what 'colours' are nor what everything looks like. In his mind, things are a bit wacky. People say tree leaves are green? In his mind.. They are rainbow. In a way he can't imagine colours, but in a way he can imagine them better than any human being. He doesn't know what humans look like either. He knows the basic shape, thanks to his sonar, but details are hazy. That goes for everything. He has his own headcanon of things. And more often than not.. His insanity tricks him into believing the craziest things about his surroundings. Yes, he has an unlimited imagination when his eyes aren't there to crash it all.

But about his ninja-tendencies.. He loves to hide somewhere, especially in trees, use his sonar -which others really can't hear unless they have a really good hearing- or just his own hearing, wait for someone to approach and just suddenly leap at them as he yells something like "NINJABAT-STRIKE!" or "NINJABAT-KICK!" -though never in attempt to hurt-. Not really ninja-like and quiet? Well, that is his playful side. When he knows everything is safe and well, he is playful and happy, but if he knows there is danger around, like a monster, he turns more legit ninja in his manner. He is quiet, swift and.. Dangerous. No more hopping on people's backs and yelling like a child. He actually isn't aware of the fact he can fly. He subconsciously uses his wings when he jumps, because of which he can really 'leap' across the town, but he doesn't realise he's flying, he just thinks that he is such an epic ninja that he could jump that far. Though because of that.. He can't always control himself perfectly. His jumps aren't usually too short, but at times he might 'overdo' it and end up missing the place he wanted to land on. And still, he doesn't realise he can just use his wings to fly backwards to the spot he wanted to get to..

He is rather sociable, he wouldn't hop on people's backs if he wasn't! He loves to play random games with people. He doesn't need to know the person, he doesn't discriminate as to him all people are equal. Except Samurais. He might get a bit lost in large crowds because of his blindness, though. When there are people EVERYWHERE moving all the time, sonar isn't much help anymore. So he just bumps onto everyone. OTL

Oh, and he can speak Japanese. HAHAHA. Not really. He just thinks he can. In his brain he thinks he is native in Japanese, he even has an entire language in his mind that he can speak fluently, but.. It's not Japanese. It's just something his mind made up when it thought he was Japanese but realised he knew no other language but English.
So if he meets someone who CAN speak Japanese.. "Nonononoo, that's wrong! That's not Japanese! This is Japanese: *Random slur of syllables that make no sense* You hear?!"
Also.. Everyone who is 'evil', he refers to as a 'samurai'. Why? Well, that is why the History is there.
He has a good heart, he's just isn't too good at understanding people who are not as playful as him.. Like a little child in a man's body..


:bulletblack:History:bulletblack: ((NEEDS TO BE REWRITTEN. Because no more medieval.))
The ninjabat was born blind and mentally challenged, to say it nicely, to a rather normal family. His father was a writer with a love for history and cultures while his mother was a simple housewife. Kaiko -or Kaire, as his real name goes- was quite a challenge to raise. He had trouble learning speech or pretty much any basic concepts of life. But his father eventually was able to teach him through play, make-believe. The father was really into the concept of ninjas and samurais, and decided to teach his boy by letting the child play the role of a ninja-in-training while he was the 'Master Samurai' who always 'challenged' him into different kinds of 'duels'. It didn't need to make historically sense, as long as it helped the kid understand. And it truly did work! Kaiko was indeed able to master speech, even the basic concepts of letters -though only the names and sounds they make so he could spell as he couldn't see them anyways- and a solid sense of right and wrong. 

Though one thing the father did not think to take into account; that game indeed got stuck in the boy's mind as facts. It wasn't just a make-believe for Kaiko, it was his real life. He was a ninja-trainee, battling his nemesis, the Master Samurai, in the woods near the ninja-school every day, sometimes he won, sometimes he lost, but he never gave up. He just couldn't let go of that game anymore, and even if his parents asked him to drop it, he didn't understand. "Drop what? I'm not even holding anything.."
And truly, he never made any real friends, every other kid either thought he was a freak or even scary. But he didn't mind, he had all the imaginary friends a child could ask for. 
But his parents did mind.. They didn't think it would be healthy for him to just play those ninja-games all days long. And when he was 9, with heavy hearts, the parents took the young bat to a home for disabled children where the caretakers helped young people with such troubles.

At first, the parents visited the place frequently, daily, hoping the boy would drop his ninja-play eventually with the help of the caretakers and therapists. But no, even there the children were afraid of him, even the older ones. Partially because of the way he would say "May I kill you?" when he really just wanted to give them a hug-attack. Or when he swung around his imaginary kunai-knives. For well over a year the parents held onto their hope, but then.. Without a warning, they just disappeared. No one knew where they went to. The caretakers assumed they just gave up when they saw the child refused to accept the fact he was not in fact a ninja. There was no real progress in their efforts, even less so when the parents weren't there to keep him company from time to time. His games started to turn quite dangerous as he got older, even if he was always a really lightweight boy, the way he might leap onto someone's back without a warning was alarming. He never meant to hurt, but occasionally he would by accident. 
They had to isolate him from the other children. He just stayed in his room all days, every now and then being visited by some of the monks to make sure he was okay. And truly.. Being blind, he had no trouble creating his own fantasy worlds, he became delusional. He could just sit on his bed but his mind thought he was actually walking in a forest. He was now a true ninja. No more ninja-academy for him. He was free. Oh, the crazy adventures he had inside his mind.. The fascinating people he met... 

As years went by, Kaiko did indeed somewhat mature though, even if his only teachers were his imagination and those caretakers. He was less hyper, but still cheery. He still thought he was a ninja, but the caretakers hoped he might just be calm enough to be brought back to the other children. He was 17 when he was finally allowed to leave the room, to go to the grassy yard. Things seemed to go smoothly. He didn't tackle anyone, as the caretakers had requested, and he didn't "threaten to kill" anyone either.
He didn't even realize this was the real world and the places he visited in his mind were just imagination.. Everything was equally real, he was now just visiting his old Ninja academy. 

And then, much like his parents, Kaiko disappeared too. No one knew where or how. The home was surrounded by high walls and Kaiko had been unable to fly all his life. He had hardly even acknowledged the fact he had wings!
Or so they thought.
They didn't realize that during those years of imagination, he had gotten the idea that he -being a ninja- could leap like a ninja, hopping from tree to another, even miles just with one jump! He still thought he couldn't fly, but in reality his body knew how to do just that. He thought he was leaping when in reality he was soaring through the skies like a bat should. And that is just how he escaped. Escaped? No, it wasn't an escape to him, it was the call of duty, he had to continue his adventures that began inside his mind!

Now he's been free for about three years, doing whatever he thinks ninjas do; helping people. Though.. Also giving an unsuspecting passer by a hug-attack.. No, he really hasn't grown out of that yet, thank goodness he's so lightweight or else he might break someone. He truly is just a drifter, moving from place to place, from town to town.
Wonder if anyone is looking for him?


:bulletblack:Familiar's Name: Bebe (Can be pronounced either 'Bebe' or 'Bibi', Kaiko isn't too finisky on that. Even he switches it around depending on his mood and whims. :'D)
:bulletblack:Familiar's Personality:bulletblack:

Timid / Scatters Things Often
Bebe was thought to be mentally challenged too, just like his Gijinka-counterpart (Yes, his.), but he truly isn't. He is both blind an mute, thus completely unable to use sonar and sense his surroundings like Kaiko. The only way Bebe can sense what is around is to rest on Kaiko's back, draping his wings over his partner's shoulders and just listen to the sonars Kaiko sends out. Though even that is difficult considering that idea didn't occur to him until much later.. 

Bebe is really timid and clumsy. And for a good reason.. He is completely reliant on Kaiko's help and the only time you would even see him flying is when he's been startled by something and is just panickily zooming around in circles until he hits a wall or something. Most of the time he either holds onto Kaiko with his wings, be it hanging on his back or lying sprawled on the bicycle wheel the Gijinka carries around on his belt. (We'll.. Get to that in the extras.) Most of the time the Familiar is really calm and lazy, yes, as long as nothing happens. Bebe really is just a useless little ragdoll of a Familiar.. Only good at being cute.
And no, Bebe doesn't know Kaiko is mentally challenged or anything. He was always with Kaiko when he was younger and no one ever talked about it when Kaiko was around, thus never even hinting the Familiar about it either. And even during the years they were kept in the single room, Bebe didn't mind it, to him it was just a zone of safety and if he was to be asked for opinion, he would have loved to stay there. Then again.. It's not like Bebe could tell anyone anyways. As far as the story goes, Bebe had absolutely no effect on anything.. He just was there as his only real friend who was not imaginary.

Oh, and by the way, Bebe is completely vegetarian. He can't STAND the idea of blood or meat. He's.. A fruit bat. Though during winter time he'd go for pretty much anything that isn't meat-based.. Bread, cheese, pastries.. Anything.


:bulletblack:Extra::bulletblack:

:bulletblack:~~Physical traits~~:bulletblack:
:bulletblack: His blood is black. Completely black. And thus whenever he gets a bruise, a cut or any other injury, they appear black or gray. Even the inside of his MOUTH is black not counting the teeth. o^o
:bulletblack: His shoes are actually slightly small for him because of him having them since he was a teen. He is pretty much used to it though and doesn't even realize it, except for occasionally letting out a pained vince if he steps badly. But eh.. Better than walking barefoot, I guess? But he does love to just take them off from time to time if it's warm out.. 
:bulletblack: Like the front of his jacket, his sleeves are also attached by multiple buttons, thus making them detachable.
And yes. The bicycle wheel.. He has no idea what it is. He found it one day in the alleys of Ormona and thought it was SO COOL because it was so perfectly round and all.. So he just tied it to his belt. But hey, as weird as it is.. It makes a great place for Bebe to rest on. :'D
:bulletblack:His hair is usually a royal mess; unevenly chopped cut, full of knots, covered in dust from stumbling on the streets and greasy as heck. Heck, he's blind and homeless, how do you think he could keep it in control? He does though have that silly ponytail.. Only part of his hair that usually behaves nicely.
:bulletblack: And yes, he loves to spend time outside and, due to being homeless, is mostly outside all days and nights, and after hopping around, climbing in trees and crawling on the ground as well as usual blind-man's tumbling, he is pretty much always covered in dirt and dust, possibly has leaves stuck in his hair, and his hands.. Oh lord. He looks like he has been digging the ground for five days non-stop. They're full of tiny cuts and dust and dirt under the nails. That.. Can't be healthy. O^O'
But he can't see any of it. He doesn't realize how much of a mess he is. ;u;
:bulletblack: Under his blindfold, he does indeed have eyes. *LE GASP* But again, he prolly doesn't even know that because of being blind. Then again, even if he did, he prolly wouldn't care because.. It's not like he can see them anyways!
The eyes are really pale blue, powder blue. Like ice. So his pupils -which also are stuck in the small size, unresponsive to any light- really stand out. Such a piercing gaze.
:bulletblack: Like you may notice on the app.. He really can stretch his mouth open WIDE. Like a snake.

:bulletblack:~~Personality quirks~~:bulletblack:
:bulletblack: He loves cinnamon for some reason, both the taste and smell.. CINNAMON ROLLS.
:bulletblack:He has no memory of his parents. He doesn't even understand that concept. He DOES though remember his father in a way; he thinks he is the Master Samurai, the king of all evil, his arch-nemesis who he was able to fight face-to-face years ago. His ultimate goal is to find the Master Samurai so now that he is a ninja, he could defeat him. (Note, Kaiko doesn't know what exactly death is, and he has no intentions of KILLING the Master Samurai, not in his own sense of the word nor its real meaning. He just needs to defeat the Samurai. Like Mario defeats Bowser.. Just ruin the evil plans..)
But no, he doesn't acknowledge he has parents. If someone explained to him what a 'father' is and then he'd find out Master Samurai is his father, he'd prolly be shocked. |D
:bulletblack: And with that, he doesn't really understand the concept of aging either. He thinks that all short people are children and all tall people are adults. Age is a mysterious thing for him. He did though know his own age as the people in the shelter kept telling him it. But now, a few years later.. He still thinks he's of that age because people no longer were there to update his situation.
:bulletblack:Nor does he know what a ninja exactly looks like. He only knows the stereotype. He does know they usually dress in dark clothes, so that people can't tell who they are. And that they're good at stealth and such.
And they're good guys. Everyone who is a good guy and not a civilian, in his mind, is a ninja. He thinks he's a 'classical ninja' and people like the police are 'modern ninjas'. To him, ninjas are "warriors or the night and protectors of justice." As for Samurai, everyone who does bad on purpose is a Samurai. In his mind ninja means 'ally of justice' and Samurai means 'criminal'..
:bulletblack: And he SOMEWHAT understands the concept of letters, as in spelling. He doesn't know what the letters look like, but he can spell his name and some other words. The catch? He's never seen written words so he would spell them like they're pronounced. His name is okay, but say.. 'Arm' he would spell as 'A-A-M' because that's how it sounds to him. 
:bulletblack: He loves to have people try to explain him things that a blind person would never understand, like colours. Or just.. Explain anything he doesn't know anything about..
:bulletblack: He likes strange sounds, you know, sounds he has no idea what made them. While.. Bebe hates them because they're scary.. Sounds like, someone's long fingernails clicking against a window.. It's hard to tell what he'll like before he gets to hear it.
:bulletblack: He loooves rain! For one, it's just generally a nice feeling to have rain drip down your face. And he also has been told it's easier to hide in rain, so. >u> But hey, it's also an easy way to get his clothes less dirty and dusty! His hair feels so much more smooth after a rainy day too when all the mud and dust blobs are gone~.

:bulletblack:~~Other stuff~~:bulletblack:
:bulletblack: He would have the same voice as Murdock from A-Team (Dwight Schultz). Yes, the voice of a mad character.. For a mad character. He has a rather silly voice and is really expressive with the tones of it.
Short examples: 
Talking/yelling: [link] / [link]
Singing: [link] | [link] 
No. He's not much of a singer. |D
But he still loves to hum and sing random songs he would make up himself. Many of them to holiday-song melodies as those were mostly played and sung at the shelter, even if only at a time of the year. 
:bulletblack: This is prolly really random, but... He would smell like ground. Imagine being pressed onto the ground at a children's playground. Sand, soil, mud, grass.. He can be such a clutz at times and constantly if falling over, making faceplants from a tree, etc. So yes. Food for imagination. :dummy:
:bulletblack: He keeps his mouth slightly open most of the time. It's simply because he IS constantly shooting out those sonar waves if he's not talking. Though that habit combines with his usual cheery mood.. Causes him to smile creepily most of the time.. But eh, it's not like he realises how unsettling he looks! Of course, if he's really comfortable with his surroundings and all, then he may just keep his mouth shut and look more normal.


:bulletblack:~~~~~:bulletblack:

Kaiko the crazy ninja-bat is mine!
