NAME!?! -

originally born in southwest germany, kaede had gone by the name “pepin michaelis.” after his burning and resurrection, he knew that his name would have to change eventually as “pepin” was meant to have died in the fifteenth centaury during the witch trials. eventually he settled on the first name kaede, the middle name seras, and keeping the last name to of his family, michaelis. his first name is unisex, and means “maple” in japanese. kaede’s middle name was taken in memory of a black kitten he owned in germany, and then again by another feral feline he came across who bore similar features, thus being dubbed by the same title. his name is an odd collection, but he is proud of it none the less.

NICK NAMES!?! -

seras -- kaede only goes by the nickname when up on stage, and he is adorned in woman's clothing. however, he has been called "seras" off stage as well, the act of dressing in feminine apparel giving him a much older appearance. by doing this, it allows kaede to use his fake id’s when entering clubs or purchasing items that have an eighteen plus legibility.

micky -- derived from butchering his last name, kaede doesn't actually mind this alias so much, as it reminds him of a cute little mouse (and it isn't too masculine). he usually starts suggesting this title to close friends, seeing it as a good sign for a healthy and progressing relationship. holding no particular qualms with using his original name when interacting with others, he feels that "kaede" is the perfect line in between male and female.

kae -- he absolutely detests this nickname. to him, it sounds too far into the masculine meter, and he dislikes how short and snappish it appears. it sounds like a nickname you would use when angry with someone, and he's always disliked the pitch of raised voices. strangely enough he's found himself being called this more than anything else, even if it hasn't been suggested to the people he meets (and he seems to be able to tolerate it without becoming offended).

puppy/pup -- a very evil man calls him this. that is all. -shot hugo he's not a dog!!-

AGE!?! -

in terms of este years, he's over four hundred years old. in human years, he hails at sixteen. kaede doesn't look it when he dresses like a boy, and in fact looks considerably younger as he has the unfortunate trait of being short. however, when sporting feminine apparel, he looks to be close to his twenties. the reason being is kaede usually wears high pointed heels, make up, and long wigs; which gives him the appearance of someone who is much older. all of his fake id's are of him as a young woman, and they never fail in granting him accesses to eighteen plus events or products.

SEXUALITY!?! -

this is a slightly difficult thing to pin point, kaede's preference on his sexuality a bit on the wayward side. he's not particularly interested in dubbing himself a certain sexuality, seeing it as a type of label (which he wishes to avoid). though if he were have to be put into a cateogry, kaede would most likely be asexual. not particularly interested in doing sexual anything, kaede's knowledge in such intimate acts would also be a big fat zero. so maybe derpsexual?

GENDER!?! -

female. though kaede is male, he enjoys cross dressing and referring to himself as a woman quite the bit more. he isn't against being called a male however, just prefers the feminine side.

SPECIES!?! -

though he looks nothing like it, kaede is quite a powerful demon with a formidable technique at his disposal. he prefers to call himself human though, not wanting to address any attention to the ability he possess, kaede having been hunted for such things (his eyes being something that slave traders particularly want for their power source). with no particular interest in the human and este war, he would rather avoid having to fight, but will if pushed to it. he's not one for becoming someone's personal door mat, and will reveal his demonic side to properly dispose of any trash.

POWER!?! -

kaede is an illusionist with a very unique ability he claims to be nothing but a curse. even if it is just a small section of the illusions department, the technique evil eye is not something to be underestimated. it allows for him to force anyone he makes direct eye contact with to watch a one minute long illusion. even if the latter closes their eyes once making contact, the dream will still progress through.

the evil eye should only be used three times per day and cannot be used on the same person for the next twenty four hours. furthermore, while the illusion only lasts for one minute, should kaede wish it, the one affected by the evil eye can slip into a state where the dream appears like it is lasting for several hours. but because he doesn't practice the technique, kaede doesn't possess a firm grip over the power and will often end up giving himself the nightmare.

evil eye can be used a fourth time, but it is specific to life threatening situations. this is because if the technique is utilized more than three times, the user will slowly lose their ability to see and will eventually become blind if used more than once. evil eye in it's fourth turn has a nasty habit of attacking the internal organs, which is not happy sunshine time for kaede. the reason for such brutal and claiming effects to the body is because, if experienced enough, the user has the rare ability to bring forth a dream as a solid creation. this however is quite taxing.

aside from it’s strength and abilities, evil eye cannot be used on a person if their vision is shielded by something as simple as sun shades. this form of protection can apply for regular glasses, however there is an easier chance for success as the eyes can still be seen. to deflect evil eye, using a mirror or reflecting surface would send the dream straight back to the user.

not restricted to nightmares, he is also able to give an individual good dreams, mostly of the things they desire most. the rules however still apply, but kaede enjoys using the evil eye for this purpose more than for fighting.

JOB/WEAPON!?! -

kaede is into the life of show biz, and what better way to display his talents then on the big stage? he enjoys acting, singing, and dancing...so mash that all together and you've got yourself a cross dressing show girl...erm, boy. whatever. it's quite popular, and definitely brings in a vast amount of money...which he spends all on clothing and beauty products. not a house. or anything useless like that. because of this, kaede finds himself stealing from multiple stores for various items such as food, or anything that catches his fancy. yep. him and the po po are good friends. he's working his way up there to becoming an all time big thief with a reputation for being slippery.

he doesn't carry around any weaponry as he generally finds such things to be disgusting. the only thing in terms of defense you'll find on him is a large can of pepper spray, and a nifty looking lock pick with a hello kitty chain.

OVERAL!?! -

quite the social butterfly if there ever was one, kaede doesn't have any problems with speaking to a stranger and introducing himself. he will usually break off into tangents about several different things, and it is easily noted that he is passionate about each of the subjects he brings up. not one to notice that he has been rambling on for any period of time, kaede becomes thoroughly embarrassed when he catches himself speaking over another person for what could seem like ages.

for the most part, kaede is rather nice to any who he meets. however if he is disrespected in the slightest of ways he spits like a camel and swears like a sailor. having a zero tolerance for any form of abuse, (whether is be physical or emotional) kaede reverts to what some would call a prideful prat that will verbally strip you of any and all dignity. because he possesses such a strong sense of what's right and wrong, kaede cannot help but become consumed with rage whenever he meets someone who completely moves against his views.

equipped with a harsh set of words and a barbed tongue, many find it impossible to move past his onset of verbal attacks. however, there is one in particular that seems immune to kaede's tactics of setting a rude individual straight. hugo's childish attitude drives him up the wall on a day to day bases, and though kaede attempts to keep himself cool and more or less composed, he finds himself cracking faster each time.

playing the tough love card would be his main mechanism of defense, though hugo manages to push past it each time. naturally, kaede refuses to admit that he has any feelings toward the slave trader (who he sees as such a hassle) and will continuously act upon a cold and dismissive game base. more than enough, his composure will disintegrate under hugo, and (depending on the situation) will either blush or fall into a fit of rage. either way, kaede is determined to complain and remain stubborn until the bitter end.

though he proves to come off as caring and helpful (even to hugo), there is a large part of him that seems rather damaged. this can easily be seen by the fact that he hates conversing about personal matters such as feelings, past events and relationships, and goals. kaede lives and breathes secrets, his character built to protect him from those who'd wish harm upon him. it could very well be seen as a turtle possessing a large and sturdy shell, only the turtle doesn't wish to ever poke it's head out to meet with the outside world despite it having such a well structured barrier.

however, when kaede allows himself to become close to another he emits a rather excited aura that erases the paranoia. this can easily be seen through the two friends he's managed to make: aaron of the este rebellion and haku his second in command. he makes regular visits to the pair as he has promised to allow aaron to help him create a firmer handle on the evil eye. similarly, kaede possesses a tighter and older friendship with a young run away prince by the name of Zel. he is one of the few where there is a general comfort zone flitting between his paranoia, though kaede has yet to reveal anything about his past to him. he only wishes to protect Zel from harm.

the delightful process of taking and sharing pictures with someone seems to mean a great deal to him, kaede becoming quite aggressive if anyone were to touch his camera. his confidence is primarily built from the certain hobby as well as the stage performances he gives on a day to day bases. kaede's strong points also heavily rely in deciphering hidden meanings through symbolic figures such as butterflies, which he possess a bold love for.

finally, money is a large factor in kaede's life...he just can't say no to an offer, no matter how tasking the ending outcome will be to his pride.

EYES!?! -

a beautiful blooming violet, the shape of the eyes are gently rounded and defined in their oval structure. when enraged, the colour brightens to a lighter tone of the original purple, reaching areas of pink when reaching the peek of the fired emotion. the glow becomes apparent as well when casting the evil eye.

[/justify]

HAIR!?! -

straight, dark raven black that turns a rich chocolate brown against the sun's rays. relatively even, there are a few strands that fall longer in the front than in the back, the bangs are sweepable when covering the eyes. frames the face nicely.

[/justify]

FACE!?! -

soft and rounded, the flesh is without blemish and a smooth cream tone. tanning nicely under the sun, he rarely acquires any burns as he knows how to properly maintain the amount of rays his skin is allowed to receive. when ill, he’ll turn a ghost white, though it comes off rather porcelain like and gives him the features of a doll.

[/justify]

BODY!?! -

fairly slim and without muscle, he stands at about five feet and five inches (though is considerably taller when wearing heels). despite being male, in certain attire he seems to possess a shapely hourglass figure that would normally be seen upon a female. because of retaining such a feminine body structure he is often mistaken for a young woman, and he can easily pull off dresses and stockings.

[/justify]

UNUSUAL!?! -

zero piercings, he is usually seen wrapped in some array of bandage or plaster, a particular patch remaining upon the left cheek. at usual points he wears medical strips around both arms, the bandage being bound up to the wrists. they cover old scars that give off a rope like texture, the permanent reminder of being tied and burned during the witch executions.

i will never hold you back
and i won’t force my will
i will no longer do the devil’s wishes
something i read on a dollar bill

kaede’s life began as pepin michaelis, born in southwest germany in the fifteenth centaury. he spent his days reeking havoc with a small group of friends, generally amusing himself during witch trials and quite literally being the “helping hand” that sent those accused of the dark arts to a most grotesque death. watching the burnings was the only activity that fully grabbed his attention, keeping him content through the boring routine days. if ever he and his monstrous friends spied a worthy victim to which they could bullshit through to a trial (and eventually burning), kaede and company would go to the judging and pretend that they were being possessed by the latter, often crying out in pain or falling from their seats to blame it on the innocent victim of witch craft.

unlike his parents, kaede’s grandmother was aware of his satanic misgivings and she wanted to pull him away from throwing honest lives into a fire. being somewhat of a shaman to her people, rené began to teach kaede how to sort through herbs and mix the proper blend in order to create a healing solution that possessed the ability to cure multiple discomforts or illnesses. not very taken to the idea at first, he slowly soon found interest in dealing with such things and started helping rené run her small business. he enjoyed spending time with his grandmother and her petit black kitten seras, each day correcting him of his old enjoyments. however, kaede’s friends disliked being rejected as he no longer took part in their nightmarish games, the gears of spite slowly beginning to turn. they started to accuse rené of witch craft, spreading rumours around the area that he was under her spell and would not come to play when he usually would without hesitation.

the immanent day came when kaede witnessed his grandmother’s trial lead to a guilty judgment, her burning following soon after. attempting to set up a plea of release, he was denied and forced to watch rené torched at stake. it was then that kaede withdrew into an isolated shell that eventually lead to his own trial, the people convinced that he was permanently stained and therefore capable of witch craft. so, in the year of fifteen sixty-three, pepin michaelis, age sixteen died.

however, not long after kaede was resurrected as a demon by a young alchemist who lived in a isolated cottage, his only company being that of a black cat (who strangely resembled seras). though kaede’s body was slightly altered from his original face (being more feminine), his mind and memories remained his own, though he came off as rather blank and unresponsive. falk cared for kaede and in return all he asked for was a small bit of company and some help around the cottage. it was around this time that kaede began to dress in woman’s clothing (as falk was a widow and had a few articles of his wife’s apparel left behind), stating that he felt comfortable wearing dresses and that they complimented his altered features well. time moved on rather swiftly, kaede grasping at a personality that wasn’t as void. he also acquired a strange ability dubbed the evil eye to which he accidentally used on falk, this being the sealing deal in his refusal to utilize the certain “gift” ever again.

after falk died of old age, kaede moved on and wandered through the changing centuries by himself, adapting to their new ways and eventually gaining a name for himself. along the way he created a tight friendship with zel, a young runaway prince to whom he promised to devote his guard-ship to even after leaving his home (as he had served him before his escape). though kaede wishes to one day return to “sleep,” he refuses to indulge before he is able to atone for his past sins. as such he took up a freelance performing career (using a woman’s guise), money becoming his prime setting for one who did not have a place to call come (other than his cardboard hobo shack). because dollar bills and coins became something of an importance, kaede eventually sold himself to a slave trader by the name of hugo sven that had captured him during a night raid (the man turning out to be the head of all such movements). he now spends his time handling quite a cluster of daily events, hoping that one out of the many will be his ticket to redemption.
