Mini Bio:
Kota Saewulf was born in the snowy mountains of Iceveil, a small village in the Northern Kingdom. His father was a blacksmith and his mother an Innkeeper. His family held no status although his father’s blacksmithing supplied the kingdom’s military with weapons. One fateful night, Kota had picked a fight with one of the men in the knights brigade who were staying at his mother’s inn. A fight broke out and somehow, against the odds, Kota had won against one of the more revered knights. Impressed, they offered him to train with them. He rose through the ranks and eventually would lead his men into war to win countless battles. Kota is well respected amongst the royals and village people alike despite his unapproachable presence. His knowledge of war tactics and strategies is unmatched, pinning him as one of the most valuable assets Iceveil has to claim. Kota is usually seen with a scowl on his sharp features. His broad shoulders taper to a fit waist and strong legs. He carries an attitude of indifference with him that quiets any room he enters. There is an intimidating air to the knight that is cause for whispers when he is around. The whispers are a mix of awe muddled between intrigue and fear. One wrong look from the knight is as close to turning one to stone as it gets. Despite his threatening air, Kota takes his oath of protecting his people as if it were written on his rib. There is nothing that should stop the knight from his duty of shielding those who have no means to protect themselves, not even death. He has been said to smell of the freshness of water lilies muddled with the rich earthiness of leather and a hint of metal from his armor and weapons.

MODERN AU

Mini Bio:
Born in snowy upstate New York to loving loving parents, Kota found himself a fairly normal child. His father was a gunsmith that was employed by the local police department and his mother was a doting stay at home figure. As a teen, Kota had gotten into a fight with the local police at a diner and despite the implications, the officers admired his sharp mind and quick moves. He was invited to apply to the local squad once he graduated and from there, he grew in ranks to be one of the sharpest detectives in the New York state. Kota is seen with a cigarette on most days with a look of exhaustion clouding his sharp features. He has been said to smell of faint cigarettes, the rich under note of fresh brewed coffee and something faintly sweet that intrigues many.
