__________________IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description
Katahn has teakwood skin and curly, coal black hair. His eyes are dark brown, rather deep set under a severe brow. He is tall, but hasn't quite grown into himself yet, clearly well muscled and fit but still a little long and gangly.

He bears a several scars on his back and arms, souvenirs from a cruel master in Essyrn, the most notable of which being a brand on his left shoulder.

Personality
Ka is a dreamer, usually happy-go-lucky, but with a fierce streak of protectiveness that- if tapped- allows him to become a wrathful force of vengeance, an almost polar opposite of his natural personality.

For the most part though, he is simply a rather gentle, slightly awkward teenage boy.

Magic/Abilities
Katahn has a great deal of untapped potential in water magic, which can be both a gift and a curse; his power has gotten him out of trouble about as often as it's gotten him into it.

Relationships
His foster sister, Brianna

History
Born into slavery under a cruel master, Katahn was raised simply to work without question, to obey any order given him. His mother was a lovely woman, if a bit overprotective, and she seemed to be on a constant campaign to make sure her son's daydreaming didn't get him in trouble, even taking the fall for him when she needed to (which wracked the poor boy with guilt).

When he was about seven, his master purchased a young centaur filly- Brianna- and the two quickly became fast friends, even if at first because he was the only person who would actually talk to her. Whenever they could the two children would slip away to play. As they got older, Bree even allowed Katahn to ride her, and they developed an efficient if unorthodox partnership in the endeavor.

As he got older, Ka would notice more about his mother's quiet nature, how she flinched when their master came near and more nights than not she wouldn't be back to the small room where the slaves slept until morning. He knew what it meant, but his mother just shushed him, told him not to worry, and hurried him along to his work.

Then, when Brianna was sixteen and Ka fourteen, they were caught sneaking out to go riding. Apparently it was something her master had never really considered before, and the idea intrigued him- he ordered her saddled, a bit placed in her mouth, and attempted to climb onto her back. She bucked, throwing the man so hard he was knocked unconscious.

Utterly fed up with the man's cruelty and arrogance, Ka attempted to kill him with a pair of shears, but he only succeeded in wounding him before guards caught him.

Retribution was swift and brutal: Katahn's mother was dragged from her chores and thrown before the two teenagers, only told that her children were to blame for her death before her throat was slit.

Katahn went into a blind rage, and Brianna learned that her brother had been keeping a secret for many years- he was a water mage, powerful though untrained. Every fountain on the estate exploded, even nearby bathhouses contributed to the isolated flood.

Bree and Ka used the chaos to escape, and they've been on the move every since.
