<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">3)Characteristics

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">-Background:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.25in;line-height:200%"> *Warning: Very long, might shorten if need be* 

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-indent:-.25in;line-height:200%; mso-list:l0level1lfo1"> -                  Candor’s parents died in a tragic skiing accident in Atlas when he was just four years old. An unexpected avalanche killed them, and twenty other people leaving Candor an orphan. He spent the next eight years with his mother’s sister, Verta Fuschien, a widowed bookbinder who lived in the city of Vale. She inspired a love of poetry and books in her nephew. However, during a picnic with his aunt in Forever Fall, Candor was left blind and without his sense of smell when a pack of Beowolves attacked them. His aunt was killed, and Candor was once again sent to a new family.

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent:-.25in;line-height:200%; mso-list:l0level1lfo1"> -                  His father’s brother’s second cousin, Kale Ferns, agreed to take the boy in. Kale was a retired Huntsmen who lived a quiet life in the oldest part of the city of Vale. Kale helped Candor to adjust to his disabilities, and paid for the surgery to fix his nose back into place. When he turned thirteen years old, Candor asked his guardian to teach him how to fight. Four years later, Candor was a skilled Huntsmen-in-training, and attended Beacon.

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent:-.25in;line-height:200%; mso-list:l0level1lfo1"> -                  At Beacon, Candor met his partner, Malek Citron, a shady youth who Candor was automatically suspicious of. Their teammates were Akame Kihoshi, a strange girl obsessed with astrology, and Lyla Silbern, an abrasive, but cheerful girl who often spoke without thinking. Together, they became Team CMLA (Camellia).

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent:-.25in;line-height:200%; mso-list:l0level1lfo1"> -                  During their time at Beacon, a number of mysterious murders were occurring all over the city. The police were struggling to find the culprit, and local Huntsmen were no closer either. Candor noticed that whenever a new murder appeared, Malek was often absent from classes. When he confronted Malek, an argument ensued between the two that ended with Candor certain his friend was connected to the murderer, and Malek hurt that his team leader would suggest such a thing.

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent:-.25in;line-height:200%; mso-list:l0level1lfo1"> -                  Meanwhile, his other teammates were more concerned with their own issues, and their performance as a team was suffering more, and more. Candor himself grew withdrawn, and was prone to lashing out at his teammates unexpectedly. As the stress mounted, Candor packed up his stuff, and ran back to Kale’s place to escape from his problems.

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent:-.25in;line-height:200%; mso-list:l0level1lfo1"> -                  To Candor’s surprise, Kale allowed him to stay for a few days. During this time, he reminded Candor about the day he asked his guardian to teach him his profession, and his warning back then that Candor may very well have to lead his own team in the future. Kale explained to Candor that his team needed its leader to not only keep them united, but also focused on the future. Knowing Kale was right, Candor reluctantly returned to his team.

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent:-.25in;line-height:200%; mso-list:l0level1lfo1"> -                  As winter began to settle over Vale, the killings continued, and the killer began publicly displaying the results of his crimes for all to see. To the horror of the city, a student from Beacon joined the ranks of the victims on one particular snowy day. The student was Lyla Silbern, Akame’s partner.

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent:-.25in;line-height:200%; mso-list:l0level1lfo1"> -                  After this, Candor resolved to track down the killer himself. Fearing that his teammates may be next, Candor tried convincing them to return home till he found the killer. Both refused, and the three abruptly left Beacon to pursue the killer. Months passed, and as the situation grew worse, and the trio’s leads continued to end in failure, Candor decided the time had come for extreme action.

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent:-.25in;line-height:200%; mso-list:l0level1lfo1"> -                  The trio did know that the killer had a preference for young, able-bodied men, and that said men were often quite handsome. They also knew the kills could happen at any time, and that the killer’s general area of attack was sporadic. So, Malek agreed to gather up a couple of his friends in the city, and traveled around secluded, or mostly quiet areas at various times of the day. Day after day, their attempts to lure the killer failed, and Candor proposed another, even more risky plan: breaking into police headquarters to steal all the information they had gathered.

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent:-.25in;line-height:200%; mso-list:l0level1lfo1"> -                  During the raid on the headquarters, a mysterious man in a silver, faceless mask interrupted the group’s search. The man immediately fled, but Akame, the fastest member of the group, managed to track him down to a small house on the west side of Vale which turned out to be the house of Kale Ferns.

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent:-.25in;line-height:200%; mso-list:l0level1lfo1"> -                  Akame informed the group of the killer’s location, and ignored Candor’s order to wait for him and Malek to catch up, choosing instead to immediately avenge her partner. Frustrated, Candor asked Malek to wait for him, so he could talk to his guardian in private. His friend refused, but Candor was able to convince him to stay relatively close to the house; albeit, out of plain sight.

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent:-.25in;line-height:200%; mso-list:l0level1lfo1"> -                  Candor opened the door, and found the house quiet. However, he could hear faint screams from the basement. When he entered the basement, Candor saw a hidden door built into the wall that led to a massive underground chamber filled with plastinated bodies in grotesque poses. Although the police watched the bodies at all times, the killer often managed to collect his kills from their displays, and took them to an unknown location. The first body Candor discovered was that of a man that resembled Kale Ferns though horribly disfigured which made him realize that the man who had inspired him to be a Huntsman had been dead for years.

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent:-.25in;line-height:200%; mso-list:l0level1lfo1"> -                  At the end of the room, Candor found his guardian torturing Akame who was partially frozen in what looked like solidified Aura. Candor snuck upon the killer, and knocked him out before going over to free his teammate. However, the killer was not working alone as Candor soon found himself face to face with three, silver-masked individuals.

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent:-.25in;line-height:200%; mso-list:l0level1lfo1"> -                  During the fight, Candor was wounded, and nearly became another victim. Thankfully, Malek had informed the authorities, and the school of the situation, and police and Huntsmen together battled against the killer and his team. During the ensuing conflict, the killer was captured, and brought to justice at last. One of the members of his team, however, escaped capture.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-indent:-.25in;line-height:200%; mso-list:l0level1lfo1"> -                  Afterwards, Candor decided to quit being a Huntsman, and instead pursued a degree in writing, poetry, and special education by attending Vale’s university. Candor currently is a poet and published author for the blind though he still practices his archery quite frequently. Akame resolved to capture the final member of the killer’s team, and became a successful Huntress while Malek became an adjunct professor at Beacon.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">-Personality:  Serious, quiet, a natural loner. <p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">-Likes:  Reading (via whatever Remnant’s equivalent of Braille is), poetry, any kind of music. <p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">-Dislikes:  Large crowds, forests, and birds.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">4) Trivia:

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">-Notable relationships:

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-indent:-.25in;line-height:200%; mso-list:l0level1lfo1"> -                  Malek Citron = Candor and Malek still stay in close contact, often discussing various matter at Malek’s lofty apartment. Malek keeps a close eye on his friend, suspecting him of still doing his own private investigations on the missing member of the killer’s team.

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent:-.25in;line-height:200%; mso-list:l0level1lfo1"> -                  Akame Kihoshi = Candor talks with Akame occasionally via the CCTS to let her know that he and Malek are doing well. Akame, like Malek, suspects her leader of also continuing to search for the missing member. However, she is careful not to mention her own search efforts, fearing the reappearance of the obsessed person he became nearly ten years earlier.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-indent:-.25in;line-height:200%; mso-list:l0level1lfo1"> -                  Lyla Silbern = Though he refuses to admit it, Candor most likely was developing romantic feelings for his teammate, and he keeps a photo of her along with his team on his bedside table. Curiously, Candor has shown no inclination for romance since her murder.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">-Notes:

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;"> His original physical design (not his color scheme) is based off of Natsuno Koide from the horror anime Shiki.
