Kinji

Kinji's Frost Katana hums a low, cheerful tune, a sound completely out of place in the howling winds of The Dragon Wastelands. While other trainees saw a graveyard of gods, Kinji saw the universe's greatest obstacle course. They treated the skeletal remains of ancient beasts as climbing frames and raced the ghostly illusions that flickered through the fog. It was during one such reckless chase that they slipped and tumbled into a fissure, landing in a geode pulsing with residual magic from the Ancient Chronicles' destruction. They greeted the shimmering power not with fear, but with a wide grin and a curious poke. The energy that erupted didn't corrupt; it amplified, turning their vibrant spirit into a transcendent force. The story goes that even Oda was impressed, remarking that some achieve greatness through grim purpose, while others simply trip into it.
