And have you ever had your heart torn out by somebody you thought was a friend
And now your trust is worn down or bought to an end
No pardons can mend it, when you’re darkened within [/b][/size][/font]

Upon meeting Kai, you'll see that he's rather shy but he'll be himself after a period of time. He's really friendly and likes to make new friends. When with friends, he can have a laugh and tease his friends. Kai is usually the one who people go to for advice, waiting to hear the person’s problems before giving out his advice.
Kai is a bit of daydreamer, often daydreaming when he is in class (which gets him into trouble at times) or with friends. This stems from the fact that he read a lot as a child (and still does) and would often daydream about being involved in the story. Also stemming from the reading, Kai gained a passion for storytelling/writing. He can sometimes be found reading or writing where there is not much noise. He is also a fast learner. Being mute is not something he likes being but has become used to it. However, he will have bouts of depression due to his muteness.
Kai was taught to remain calm in battle, at all times, by the tutor. The tutor told him and Coraline that to show fear was to give your opponent power, however, Kai has since rejected these ideals and made up his own: “life is too short to be boring. Mischief is a welcome friend every once in a while”, indicating that he likes to break the rules at times. In battle, Kai tries to assess the situation, tries to find the best solution and works well in a team.
As the leader of Shuujuku, he is fair but firm. He likes to have a laugh with the other members of Shuujuku. He tries to understand everyone’s needs and make them feel loved and welcomed. He’s also hard when it comes to training, which can irritate some of the members, and he can be impatient at times. Most of the time, he uses telepathy but will get Coraline to translate to the others.
If Kai likes someone, he'll be shy and awkward around them until he professes his love for them, which probably will either take him a long time for him to do so or he'll just tell them after a few days. When he does date someone, he'll be a fiery and passionate lover, making his lover's life enjoyable while making sure that they both listen to each other's problems. If his lover is in trouble, then Kai will stand by them no matter what.
Kai's enemies better beware of his rage. He's a cold as ice when dealing with enemies. If one of his enemies has harmed one of his loved ones, then he'll track them down and make them pay for what they've done.

Physique:[/size]Kai typically wears t-shirts, shirts and jeans. He likes to be comfortable in what he wears. He will wear the occasional blazer. Kai doesn’t really dress up unless he has to i.e a wedding, graduation and other such fancy get-togethers. When with the members of Shuujuku, he will either wear casual clothing or he will wear the Shuujuku outfit: a black Grim Reaper type robes with a hood. All Shuujuku members wear their hoods up when outside.

History: [/font]
Kai Starshine has had an unusual history. Rather than being born the conventional way, he was more like created. Aella, the witch in many fairy tales, including Hansel and Gretel, who was a long-standing enemy of the Fairy Godmother, had wanted a protégé so that she could train them and then eventually have them kill the Fairy Godmother. So, when the opportunity presented itself Aella managed to take a hair strand from the Fairy Godmother. She then split the hair strand in two and fused it with her own magic, thus Kai and his twin sister were born. However, without Aella’s knowledge, Maleficent planted a little piece of her own magic inside Kai. Delighted that she had managed to create humans, with her magic, Aella immediately named them Kai and Coraline, after he deceased children. Kai and his sister were fourteen when they were created. They stayed with Aella for the period of two week, in which the witch tried fruitlessly to get them to tap into their magical abilities; however, they appeared to have none. Aella was devastated – her hopes of defeating that accursed Fairy Godmother were dashed. In rage, she wiped the newly created children’s memories, all but their memories and sent them to a place without magic.
The place they were sent to was Earth. The two lived on the streets of Long Island Sound for several months before being put in the adoption agency. Kai and Coraline were virtually inseparable. They didn’t do many things apart – they were so close that they knew what each other was thinking, finish each other’s sentences and could even feel each other’s pain or distress. They were able to make friends when they were in the orphanage but their friends would always get adopted so they would ultimately be friendless for the majority of their stay within the orphanage. It would be two years later, when they were sixteen, that Kai and Coraline would be adopted by a loving couple, the Starshines, who were unable to have any more children. Within a short time, the two were adopted and thus became Kai Starshine and Coraline Starshine. Not only did their new parents give them a new home and family but they also gave them new middle names, too. Their adopted mother was a Wicked fan and so gave Coraline the middle name of Nessarose and Kai the name, Frex. The twins and their adoptive siblings got on relatively well, though the twins would sometimes freak them out.
Kai was having a wonderful time with his new family but as always, tragedy struck. In one of those rare moments when Kai was alone with his adoptive parents and was climbing trees, he slipped and fell. He cut his forehead and his vocal chords were damaged when he landed in a nettles bush. The sixteen year old was rushed to hospital, stitched up and operated on. Unfortunately, Kai wasn’t able to speak again, making him mute. When his sister, Coraline came to visit, an understanding passed between them like nothing they had ever experienced. For some inexplicable reason, they developed twin telepathy, quite literally. They were both shocked but decided to keep it to themselves. Kai, however, was depressed – he wanted to speak, laugh, sing but that had been taken away from him. His parents contacted a friend, who taught deaf kids, who agreed to teach the whole family sign language. Kai soaked up the sign like a sponge and soon he was on Level 4 of American Sign Language. Shortly after this, his adoptive mother made a bag full of laminated cards that had phrases on them, so others who didn’t know sign language were able to talk to him.
Some time later, Kai’s life would change forever. He and Coraline went to meet his tutor’s house and discovered that Kai’s tutor had been part of a secret order called Shuujuku. The tutor grew furious with the two and ordered them to leave his house at once, but after seeing their persistence about the matter (they’d kept on pestering about the disbanded order over next few lessons) he decided to tell them and help learn the ways – he thought that young blood was what the order needed. He set about teaching them how to fight, about acrobatics and meditating. The tutor also displayed his telepathic powers and helped the two to develop telepathy. Though the twins didn’t know it but as a result of the meditation, their latent magic emerged. In Kai’s case, he found he could talk to animals and make random fires start up when he was angry. He tried to hide his new-found magical power from everyone he knew, but as a result due to the stress, more powers started to emerge: fireballs, lightning bolts, transfiguration and more. Kai eventually told Coraline, who said she had been experiencing similar things. They vowed to practice their powers, together, in secret. When the tutor was pleased with their progress, he challenged the two to a two-on-one match. Despite their best efforts, he beat them. However, he was pleased and gave them the idea of starting up Shuujuku themselves. After a rather heated argument, with some verbal abuse in there, they decided to start it up but with new outfits: a grim reaper type garb. It’s been a year and they are still learning about their magic powers.

Role-play Example:
Coal black eyes penetrated the haze that clouded the Acheron, through to the mortal world, namely America. As of late, Hades had wanted to check up on these puny mortals, see if they were worth caring about. Of course his niece, Artemis, cared enough about these mortals enough to have some in her little army of Huntresses. It was a shame that she didn’t have the might of Underworld at her back. He would love to send her some of his soldiers to her aid but she was too proud, just like her dear old Dad. It sometimes sickened the Lord of the Dead how his dear brother could be so…so lustful. Were they not satisfied with their own wives? But Hades couldn’t really judge, since he too had had his fair share of women: Minthe, Leuce and Maria. Persephone would be his true love though.
As Hades’ eyes swept the nation, his ears picked out various conversations. Gods, these mortals talked about trivial matters! Were their lives so boring that they had to resort to…to this! See, this is why Hades almost never got involved with mortals. They were so boring. Of course….Maria would never be boring to him. A smile played upon the albino’s lips as he remembered the times he had spent together with before Zeus had to blow her up. Curse his eternal soul! Why did that oaf have to have all the glory? Ok, he got he and his siblings out of their wretched father’s stomach and all but seriously, Zeus was starting to big-headed, as if the world should revolve around him! Hades sighed, took a deep gulp and counted to ten. Hades’ anger wasn’t needed at this moment in time. After all, he had so recently been semi-accepted by his family. He didn’t want to jepordise that.
As Hades roved the streets, he thought he heard scientists speak.
“My Lord!” said an attendant, his voice piercing Hades’ mind. The Lord of the Underworld sighed deeply and returned to the Underworld. His coal black eyes examined the attendant, and immediately, the attendant began to quiver. Hades curled in lip in satisfaction. “W-We have a-a real b-bad one, m-m-my Lord.” He loved making the attendant scared out of their wits. Made him feel a little slither of satisfaction, knowing that he could match Hera in terms of being imposing. Hades gestured for the guy to be brought in, to which the attendant gladly obliged.
Soon, a pot-bellied man with tattoos and a very bad odour was being escorted. He was making a ruckus. Well, that would have to be stopped.
“Let go o’ me! You can’t do this!” he screamed to the escorts, who merely grinned back. Hades frowned. What an uncouth man!
“Silence mortal!” he bellowed, to which the man shut up and started whimpering with fear. Hades wrinkled his nose in disgust. “Jared Locksley, you have been brought to me for a reason. Do you know why?” The man shook with fear. Hades allowed the briefest of smiles to pass on his snow-white face. The Lord of the Dead got up, making the faces on his robes moan. This made the man cower.
“Uh…’cos I-I killed a f-family, robbed a b-bank and raped a woman?” he said, hoping that the answer would appease Hades.
“Correct! You were tried and then sentenced to ten years in prison. However, you managed to break out of that. So, for your punishment….” Hades circled the man, with the escorts behind him. The faces moaned phrases of despair and doom, making the man cower and shrink back.
Hades got an idea.
“Jared Locksley, you shall spend eternity trapped inside a burning prison. Every time you reach the escape exit, you shall fall and burn. You shall do this every day! Do you understand?” he commanded. The man, who was in tears by now, merely nodded. “Very good. Your feeble mind understands. Take this disgusting mortal where he belongs.” The escorts nodded and dragged the sobbing man away, with Hades watching. He then sighed contentedly. He loved this job sometimes.
