kellin's story is a rather sad one. due to his looks, he usually gets mistaken for a thief or a bad guy - when he is the complete opposite. all his life he's tried to fit in with everyone else, yet no matter what he does he always gets blamed for anything and everything. around the kingdom, there have been a series of killings and robberies; and kellin knows exactly who is behind it. every night, he's been following the mysterious kalon across the kingdom, watching their moves and observing their actions. soon enough, he figured out what to do and at the crack of dawn, kellin lept down and tackled the kalon, yelling to let guards know. though, the kalon fought back and gave kellin something to remember. he got clawed on the bridge of his nose and that patch of fur hasn't grown back. every day he is reminded of the day his actions of good were the cause to his banishment.

the only thing was, this kalon looked as innocent as they could get. the guards thought that kellin was going to kill this kalon so they brought him to the palace where he was placed in an audience with the royals, his fate quickly being decided as banishment. he tried his best to tell them that he was completely innocent but they just didn't understand and profiled him by his looks.

now, kellin lives in a tidy cave on the outskirts of town where some of his friends bring him food on occasion and he trades with them things that they can cell in the walls. due to this, he has become rather alone, quiet and very observational. all he wants is for someone to understand his struggles and just wants a friend.

Qrow - based off a character from RWBY, who is the drunkle with bad luck that
protects his family. Because he seems like someone who'd be like that.

gender:
male

story:
I never wanted anyone to get hurt, but it was inevitable with what I had to do.
But, the day I heard that younger kalon everything changed. I was living in my
apartment, getting dinner ready before I'd have to go to work when I heard it.
Soft thuds and sobs from the next door apartment, so I went to investigate like
anyone would. But what I found was horrendous.

Someone had taken out two other kalons, and who was it other then my own
partner in crime. I had remembered clearly that he had a lot of dirt on me, so
if I let him go away he'd make sure I would never get the jump on him or be able
to get him put in jail for killing such a young kalons parents.

So, I did the only thing I could do. I attacked him, yelling for the kid to call for
help. Which they did in a heartbeat, once others came they grabbed me and I
ended up being casted out for all the crimes I confessed to, while my partner
was killed for his crimes as he had orphaned a poor child kalon and that was
the cruelest crime of all.

story: i didnt mean to get myself exiled. i loved him but he didnt love me back. the prince. i was thrown out after i confessed to him. his father told me that the prince wanted to marry a female, not a male. it wasnt my fault! i was exiled, never to be seen again. my family sent the prince's father a bunch of letters, but he never answered.. i was lucky i wasn't killed from the amount of uproar my exile caused. everyone was surprised to see me go. but i walked out with my head high. i wasn't going to run back to the prince's father and beg him to let me stay. i would come back on my own terms. i want everyone to see that i'm not ashamed of liking a guy.

one extra:
the father of the prince was ashamed of himself after exiling Haliui. he never answered any of the letters because he was embarrassed and should've let the prince choose. he appointed one of Haliui's younger brothers to help, and when the finally found Haliui again, they would appoint him to the highest spot they could without ruining anything. it's taken them years to get even close to finding the outcast. Haliui has left clues to where his location might be, since he's heard about whats going on from people that dare venture outside the empire.

I am the rightful chief of the night. I don't care what my father has said to me. I had done everything up till this point just like he told me to. I checked on the elders, I took care of the kits and made sure no one got lost. I set up the bonfire every night since I was eight months old. I don't see why he was so hard on me. I didn't know what would come of this. And now look at me, lost and alone with no one there to help me.

It all started when I was just dong my daily checks before the celebration of the night, when Báisè make a rude face at me. She is a blind old one but she is the oldest kalon to live in our village. She smelled the air are called out my name.

"Guàiwù, you coward come here at once."

"Yes?"

"What do you do during the day time? Do you bask in the sunlight's rays? Do you frolic in the grass? Or are you like your scared father and hide in the shadows? Do you cower in the night skies protection?

She had never spoken this way to me before and I didn't know how or what to say in response. I left the hut with no response for her question and continued my tasks. But, while doing every task, I couldn't forget what she said to me in such a sudden manner. What did she mean by all of this? I wanted to find out what she meant by sunlight and what it felt like. So, I hatched a plan to sneak out and feel it.

After the night festival had ended for the night and dawn was breaking the horizon, I hid myself in the tree to watch the sunlight arrive. First the night sky lightened to a rosé color. It was gorgeous, it wasn't the color of fire, it wasn't the color of shadows,
but the color of a new day. It was glorious. The color soon surrounded me and wrapped me in a blanket-like softness. I felt warmth, but not a fire warmth but a glowing warmth. It took my breath away.

As the sun rose greater and greater into the sky, I slinked back into my hut and prayed to the moon and stars that I would not be caught. But I was caught. My father stood over me and wailed at me about how I swore to never touch the sun's light. I covered myself in my guilt. I had broken the only promise I was suppose to keep. He sent me to my room with a promise to deal with my broken promise at night fall.

Nightfall came faster than I had planned. The hut where I laid was banged on my a wooden mallet. I drug myself out and to my father's feet. He was about to speak but then a small voice spoke,

Well you aren't a coward now, but you have betrayed us all."

I didn't want to look into my father's eyes or the blank white eyes of her. I sat on the ground, a crumbling mess.

"You have broken our promise to the moon and stars. For that you must be sent away, never to feel the touch of the moon or stars again."

I stood at the end of my sentencing and ran. I did't deserve this. I wasn't warned. I looked to the sky to see the glowing symbols in the sky. I cried to them. I begged and pleaded with them for their warmth and love once more. But no response was given to me. I am not a monster, I am just out of chances.

"Please, let me love you once again."

And with that, I fell asleep in my own tears, retrieving my only warmth from the hope of the sun to break soon.

story:

Salem finally settled to spend the night in a dark cave after a long day of traveling when it started to rain.
It’s like it always rains on this day. It’s the last day he ever saw his best friend. The last day he ever saw his family. The last day he ever saw his home. The day he was banished. This day 17 years ago he lost everything.

Salem used to live in a city ruled by a small monarchical family. However that family only came into power by overthrowing the same family Salem came from. All his life he was told of the great injustice his family had suffered at the hands of this new monarch. So naturally he had grown to despise them. At least until he met Andromeda.

She was such a bright and vibrant kalon always positive always knew what to say or how to brighten your day. She was Salem’s best friend and she was one of them. A daughter in the monarchy, not one within in the line of succession but a part of the family nonetheless. And one Salem was supposed to hate. He couldn’t bring himself to, andromeda brought out the best in him and they had become the best of friends.

When his father had hatched a plot to dethrone the current monarchy and take their place as the rightful rulers Salem wanted no part in it. He feared it could endanger his best friend. But he was only a kit and he couldn't go against his own family. Or could he?
After hearing how the plot was to unfold and how violence was likely to unfold he rushed to warn his friend. She had told him her family was very sorry for any injustices it inflicted upon his family, that everyday they regretted the monsters they became. Salem realized his own family was no better and knew something had to be done. He rushed to the castle to warn the king but it was too late. Fighting had broken out, his father had led a group loyal to them into the gates to overpower the guards. Salem hurried to find another way to the king. Maybe he could still save someone. When he finally found a way, Salem rushed to find someone anyone who might be able to warn others of the attack. When he finally reached someone and convinced them there was a problem, the attack had already progressed and they were surrounded. Salem's father encouraged him to take part and aid them in this battle but Salem couldn't bear to see anyone else hurt. However this distraction was enough for the kalon Salem tried to warn to be swept into the attack. Eventually partly because Salem refused to take part in the plan they were overpowered and his family faced judgment.

They were all banished even Salem. He was blamed along with the rest. Andromeda had tried to reason with her family but nothing could be done. Salem couldn't believe it, he had tried so hard to help them and yet they chose to label him a monster. He was only a kit and now he was forced out of the only home he knew. And as his family left the city they too exiled him, he had betrayed them. He no longer had the love and support of a family behind him they blamed him for their banishment.

He had no where to go. Banished from the place he once called home, exiled from his family, and all alone, he just picked a direction and ran, tears steaming across his face as the wind bit his eyes and nose, but he didn't stop didn't even look back. There was nothing back there for him. He had hope though that maybe just maybe one day he could find his best friend again maybe then he would have some closure.
And now 17 years later he's no longer a kit and has been wandering the world hoping maybe he could find Andromeda the friend he left behind and be reminded he isn't the monster everyone sees.
