Name: Kou Ai Kensu Knight Identity: Venus Knight Element of Influence: Energy/Metal Age: 16 Birthdate: May 23rd Height: 5' 4" Weight: 150 lbs Blood: B Hobbies: Martial Arts & video games Fav. Color: Gold Fav. Sport: Volleyball Fav. Food: Fruits Least: Sushi Fav. Subject: Foreign Languages Least: Mathematics Strengths: Learning aptitude, rejuvinative abilities, enhanced meele combat abilities (strength and reflexes). Weaknesses: Impatient, has a tendency to lecture when others do not grasp what seems obvious to him, overprotective
Physical Description: Kou has intense hazel eyes and long black hair drawn back into a short ponytail. His fingers look almost delicate and his body is that of a professional martial artist, lean and hard.
Senshi Attacks: Venus Knight relies on enhanced reflexes and martial techniques rather than ranged attacks. The blade is effectively weightless and seems made of energy rather than solid matter, cutting any known substance (including youmas) easily. "Energy Shield" creates a immobile defensive barrier that is draws on the attacking energy to reinforce it, making it almost impenetrable.
Defects: He lacks any sort of ranged combat ability and his only defensive technique requires that he surrender any offensive action.
Character Background: Kou is an orphan, his parents killed in an airplane accident several months earlier. He was living in Kyoto, where he'd been raised. Trained in Kendo since he could walk, he was (and is) competing for the title of Grand Master in the country of Japan. Because of his parent's death, Kou finds himself both wealthy (with a trust fund) and alone. He moved to Tokyo only recently.
Notes: Kou was the eldest son of the second most powerful Venusian noble family. He and Minako were married at the behest of their Venusian parents (an arranged marriage). Like every Venusian couple, they share the empathic bond between husband and wife. The two are practically inseperatable as a result.
Planetary Background: Venusian culture centered on home and family. Families were by nature both large and tightly knit. The number of children for each family tended to average around six. The economy was based on arts and philosophy, rather than a strictly agricarian society. Warriors among the Venusians were rare yet usually proved to be extremely skilled.
When married, Venusian couples tended to form empathic bonds of varing strengths. The stronger the bond, the closer the two became. The life of one member of the bond depended upon the other. Something about Venusian makeup that required physical contact between them for their survival, and the stronger the bond the more frequent contact was needed. It would be no great surprise that when one half of the bonded couple died, the other quickly passed away as well.
Noble families usually derived much of their power and authority from how skilled they were in their chosen profession. Conflict often ensued between those families, but rarely came to combat for the reason previously outlined. At the time nearing the end of the Moon Kingdom, the current royal family struggled to maintain control with a rival family. This rivalry eventually ended with the merging of the two families in the form of the marriage of the eldest son of the rival family to the only living Venusian princess.
Each Venusian child is brought before an oracle when they are very young, usually less than a week old. The oracle then determines what each child is destined to do, and usually will know if a child will become bonded or not. Venusian families take these guidings very seriously. The vast majority of Venusians were bonded yet the few who weren't were almost exclusively either warriors or oracles.
