Special Characteristics: None

Personality: Kenshi Soretsu is, in one word, knightly. He acts at all times with honor, bravery, and chivalry. He is the kind of person who will hold the door open for a person.. and the next.. and the next.. and the next.. Basically he will patiently hold the door open for any number of people. To others, he seems to have eternal patience, and eternal good manners. He never gets flustered, even when surrounded by women. As a matter of fact, he is the type of man who would either look away from or cover up a nude woman. He is always courteous and always friendly, even when someone is rude to him. He believes that if he fights rudeness with kindness, he will cause the rude person to realize the error of their ways. He is not often wrong. He also believes that criminals do evil things because they don't know anything else, and he believes that law-keepers try to help law-breakers get over their criminal tendencies, rather than imprisoning or killing them. His form of justice is to have the criminal pay back their actions with good ones, i.e. community service or helping the ones they hurt with their actions get over whatever damage they caused. However, there is one crime he cannot forgive, and that is murder. To end the life of another is the worst thing one could possibly do in his eyes. Thus, he has no mercy for murderers. He believes no amount of community service could ever justify murder. If he ever comes across a murderer, he will often take the law into his own hands and execute them. Despite his code of honor, he has a dark side. He was born with the ability to control shadows. This dark side only awakens when he backed into a corner in a fight. When awakened, this ability bring with it a personality change. Kenshi becomes sadistic, more willing to kill, and rude. Very far from his normal personality. As such, he is afraid to lose control of himself and allow his dark side awaken.
In combat, Kenshi is very serious. He seeks to defeat, rather than kill, his opponent. He fights with honor, bravery and skill. He fights fluidly, quickly adapting to any situation in the blink of an eye, and adapting his magic and fighting style accordingly. He is a great leader, giving orders quickly and concisely. When a team member is falling behind or is having trouble in the fight, he will do anything he can to help them. Under a leader, he follows orders to the letter, unless they contradict his code. If they do, he will adapt them so he wouldn't have to do something he believes is wrong. When a team member is hurt, whether or not he is the leader, whether or not they are in the middle of a battle, he will stop everything and help them. This often leads to trouble, as many opponents can easily take advantage of his distraction to land a few hits. If Kenshi is hurt, he won't stop fighting unless the injury is serious. This can also lead to problems, because the wounds can offer weak points for the opponent to strike at.
All in all, Kenshi is the epitome of a knight.
