Hakujona Kogen

"What is a heart? Is it the source of our joys? Our love? Or perhaps it's a prison, meant to keep us chained down, away from our full potential... in that case, I know that I must escape the prison that is called the heart... if only I hadn't lost it first..."

- Hakujona Kogen, describing his wonderings on the heart with Yajima.

Personality
Kogen is an enigma to most people. On the surface, he seems calm, confident, and flirtatious. however, he can also be outragous, arrogant, and just plain silly, often at random times, causing confusion in all who witness it. one example is his insistance that he perfers his history to be multiple choice. in truth howver, he is cold, calculating, and frustrated with his existance. He likes learning truths and secrets and hates it when he is denied that which he wants to know. he wishes to find out why humanity is the way it is, the nature of magic, and for what purpose mages first came into being. He will do whatever he needs to inorder to figure out these truths, and won't regret it.

History
Kogen was born in a remote village, where everyone was friendly with eachother. His parents gaurded the secrets as to why magic first came into existance and why humanity was the way it was. One day when Kogen was five, while his mother was training him in his Light magics, cultists came and killed his father. When they came and tried to kill his mother before stealing the secrets, Kogen's mother slipped him the tomes on light magic and light make before sending him off with a transportation spell. she then killed the cultists and destroyed the secrets before dieing of bloodloss. When Kogen came to, he was confused as to where he was. he stumbled around until he stumbled back into his town. Once he reached home, he grieved and buried them. upon seeing the secrets destroyed, he vowed to discover what exactly his parents were gaurding and why cultists would want it. however, he was banished from his village due to a misunderstanding, which led village leaders to believe Kogen had killed his parents. from there, he left and started to travel, searching for answers.
