Personality

A mute kem obsessed with chicks and chickens. He also has a major love for monsters and all familiars alike. He is very introverted and afraid of other kems due to a traumatic accident from when he was a kit. He will usually avoid any kems but has a few close kems in his circle. Has several brothers, all much more out going than he is. Leche is his childhood friend who got him into his chick hoarding. Another kem that he holds dear, and is his biggest obstacle in life, is the love of his life, Asami. A very one-sided love at that.

He is learning to grow as a Kemata. Confident that with the right time and guidance, he can become a kem that he can be proud to be. Tozoku is his rival in love, but he sees a lot of himself inside of Tozoku as well. Is it a long lasting rivalry or could something more come of it?

History

Neshki grew up in a large and busy family which left him with little love given by his very bubbly and outgoing family. He found solace amongst the creatures most frowned upon in Val-shenn, monsters and beasts. He found that he felt naturally at home with these misunderstood creatures and would often spend days in the wilderness with them. He saw himself as their caretaker and would nurse injured monsters back to health.

Due to his taboo relationship with monsters, many kits bullied him, causing him to recluse and more and more into the outside world of standard civilization. The bullying became worse with time, from name calling, to physical scuffles. Eventually, the bullies would turn towards baby monsters and harm or even kill them on purpose, just so Neshki could find their broken bodies. They would watch while he did all he could to recover their wounds.

One day, a Kemata name Chico moved to their village, he was very unlike the other kems. He had more of a sense of style and pride about him, sporting name brand clothes and burying his scruffy hair under a baseball cap. Neshki felt something different about him, like they were the same in some sense, and would try to befriend him. This started to work at first and the two became quick acquaintances, but the vile bullies would not allow Neshki to have happiness, and tarnished their friendship fast, leading to Neshki receiving his permanent neck scar and losing his voice all together.

But it was not all for not, due to this attack, Neshki discovered his lightning magic, and swore to himself that he would never allow another kemata to harm any of his monster and beast friends. He is not quiet a master of his magic, but he is proficient and confidently accurate in his strikes, keeping kematas away from the forests he calls home. While doing so, he happened upon a kem who wound up injured and begrudingly nursed him back to health, this is how he met Leche, who became his only friend for a while!

Asami also brings along a new kem to the store named Neshki, the mute kem intriques Tatsui and Tatsui takes up learning KSL from him to help make communicating with him easier, plus learning something new is always a bonus for Tatsui! When he finds out about how much Neshki loves Asami, its painful for him to watch her drift to Tozoku as he feels Neshki would be a better partner, but his job in Asami's life is to guard her, not be her match maker. So as always, he obseres from a distance.

Leche stirred a new love in Neshki's heart, chickens and chicks. These soft and dumb creatures softened Neshki's soul and quickly became his favorite animal, he couldn't quite put his paw on why he was so drawn to these docile creatures...Maybe he saw himself in them, or maybe...something he wanted to be?

As he grew older, Neshki learned to tune out the sound of other kematas, seeing them as passing blurs and never giving them the light of day, mostly ignoring any attempts to grab his attention. But one face stood out suddenly, amongst the passing blurs. A beautiful kem with lovely white hair and soft, golden eyes, her: Asami. Had someone this beautiful always existed? How had he never noticed before...? The gentle kem greeted him with a soft smile and "hello" and has since flooded his mind and senses, he becomes dumbfounded when around her and is a little clumbsy. Althought he cannot speak, he does his best to express his love for Asami, always making her smile, doing small errands for her. But most importantly, wiggling his ears back and forth with great effort to sign to her, "I love you more than words could ever express!"

But as cruel as the world is, and always has been, a rival appears. Tozoku, a rough around the edges and scruffy street kem. Neshki cares not for him as Tozoku clearly likes Asami in the same ways as Neshki does. The two are always at eachother's throats, in a non physical way, competing for her love and affection. In the end Tozoku wins, at first, this is hard for Neshki to accept, he grows to hate Tozoku with every fiber of his being, but as time goes on, as it always does, Neshki begins to soften at the kem who he sees himself in. A kemata who is afraid, who is putting up a front, but doesnt bend to life the same way Neshki does. Who isn't afraid to say "Hey world, I'm here, and I have teeth and claws, and I will fight to survive!" Neshki grows to trust Tozoku, and desparately wants to try to befriend him, but will it work out for him?
