Extra Information:

Sukha was one of the few female Kaxarenes that made it past graduation and into the Valors without giving up. Despite her petite frame and docile expressions, she is one of the more hot-tempered individuals among the Valors. Known for her agility and powerful ability, Sukha was only a teen when she offered to get join the Academy alongside her brother, Kango. Most students are only allowed to join once they are an adult, but Sukha was made a special exception by the captains.

Contrary to her half-brother, Sukha was quite popular in the Academy because of her extroverted and cheery personality. Despite her popularity however, she made sure to never leave Kango by himself and always drags him (against his will) to functions and parties so he wouldn't feel left out. 

Unlike Kango, Sukha decided to become a Valor in order to use her influence to search for her biological parents. That was her sole source of motivation to excel in the Academy and she quickly rose to power because of it. However, just like most orphans, Sukha has still not found her parents despite splurging all of her salary on that sole task. 

Sukha looks up to Varen as she sees him as a mentor but even she is afraid of him when he loses his temper. Sukha has a strong sense of hatred for Roseabelles because of the war and its outcomes. And because she is still young, she often times behaves impulsively towards beings that are much stronger than her (like Zeya) which usually causes the situation to grow even more tenser.

 The Kaxarene has a rare ability that allows her to camouflage, something that is incredibly valued in combat. The unique thing about her ability is that she can remain in this form for however long she wants, with no repercussions whatsoever. This is a rare phenomenon because it indicates that her body is able to create an infinite amount of magic, which a feature that only royalty, like Varen, has.

Because of her abilities, she is often sent out on spying missions by Varen and she can be gone for months on end because of this. 

Currently, she plans to retire from the Valor only after she successfully finds her parents. She wishes to forgive them, settle down in the countryside together and spend as much time with them to compensate for all the time they had spent apart.

Kango [Valor Warrior]

Age: 352 years old (27 years old in human years)

Height: 189 cm [6'2ft]

Family: Unknown

Type: Gifted

Extra Information:

 Kango is one of the few trusted Valors tasked with executing missions that required some brutality. He is often times made to work alone because of how capable he is, however, if a partner is required, Sukha is his one and only option due to his frigidness towards others.

Just like Sukha, he was an orphan before he enrolled in the Academy. Both of them stayed at the same orphanage before they were recruited which resulted in their sibling-like relationship. Not much is known about Kango and his parents due to the fact that he was simply left in front of the establishment's doorstep by the owners one winter night. 

Even during his childhood years in the orphan, Kango was considered extremely mature despite his age, and he only spoke when it was absolutely necessary. He was one of the oldest kids amongst the eight other children in the orphanage, and even after he became a Valor, Kango still makes time to meet up with them whenever he is off duty with Sukha tagging along.

Fortunately, both Sukha and Kango were raised with love and care by the orphanage owners hence why they still remain in contact with the old couple even after they moved away. Unlike Sukha, Kango ultimately gave up the search for his biological parents after several years of failed attempts that was paired with him becoming busier with missions as an aftermath of the war.

His journey to being a Valor came when his parents (the orphanage owners), who were both non-gifted Kaxarenes noticed something odd about his jewel located under his left collarbone. It was later confirmed that Kango was indeed a Gifted and the Academy was contacted shortly after he became a legal adult to have him drafted.

Kango had always looked up to the Academy and the Valors so when he was told that he was being drafted alongside Sukha, he vowed to be the very best and serve his country until his last breath. However, his stony personality, paired with his lack of interest in conversing unexpectedly made him unpopular amongst his colleagues, which made life in the Academy much harder to endure.

Despite being ostracized though, Kango was well-liked by his instructors for passing all his classes with flying colors. This made him even more hated by those around him, but Kango simply did not care as long as he had Sukha by his side to support him.

Him and Sukha are often called the Academy's pride since they graduated with some of the highest grades ever recorded in the institution's history. As a result, they remain heavily involved with the Academy and often conduct classes in the prestigious institution whenever time allows them to do so.

They had only been a Valor for two years when the war between Stygia and Exousia was officially announced, placing Exousia in a state of fear and panic. Surprisingly, Kango was some of the few Kaxarenes that were against fighting in the war but due to the obligations enforced onto him as a future Valor, he had no choice but to get involved.

Out of the 382 freshly graduated batch, only a mere 162 survived the war after they were cornered by the notorious Circle during one of their usual commutes back to their base outside Exousia's borders.

 While Sukha believes that they survived the unexpected ordeal due to their expertise, Kango thinks they only survived because the Roseabelles took pity on them after learning that the Valors were barely above the age of 200. Many of those that survived retired shortly after as they were unable to handle the mental scars that came with fighting in the war.

Kango has no interest for a love life as he prefers to be single but unfortunately for him, he has many noble-blooded admirers due to the many achievements awarded to him by Varen. He is well-known within Stygia's royal circle as the emperor's personal guard as he is often dragged to them under Varen's orders (which he is literally not allowed to go against under any circumstance.) Varen often offers to introduce a suitable lady to Kango, but the Valor rejects the offer every time without hesitation.
