#kaatachi boateng

[g0ldgauntlet]

Recently, I got to redesigning an old OC of mine. He's come a long way since the first time that I came up with him.

His first design was this, back in 2020:

I didn't have any big plans for him at the time - He was just an idea that I thought of on the fly because some pals (one of them being @enjisquared) in a discord server I'm in were discussing fangs and vampires. Over time, however, I came up with somewhat of a solid plotline for him.

His name is Kaatachi, an Asanbonsam vampire who lived in the monster realm. Keyword here is lived because he ended up in the human realm and now he's got amnesia so he doesn't even remember what his purpose in life used to be.

Kaatachi was an agent of sorts who served the Ofori royal family, which consisted of Sasabonsam vampires. While serving them (and living in the monster realm in general), he went by the name Danso, which was just a mere alias. He kept his real name and most of his personal life a secret to prevent himself or others from being exploited by anyone else. He is adept in using swords, especially greatswords, and he has a monstrous form that he can shift into if he needs a last resort in combat. In his humanoid form, he is supposed to be six feet tall.

He was dating Baako, the eldest child of the king. He was also good friends with Kojo, the chancellor to the royal family. The king did not completely trust him, but couldn't deny that he did his job well and that his methods get good results.

Kaatachi unfortunately ended up in the situation that he was in regarding the human realm because he was tricked by Sabir, a human associate and diplomat that he worked with from time to time. Sabir's true aim was to destroy the Ofori family and whatever was left of the monster realm - As he viewed it to be a world of degeneracy - but his actions would lead to future consequences for both realms as a result.

Sabir set Kaatachi up once the latter caught wind of a plan to attack the Ofori family castle, and Sabir couldn't afford to have Kaatachi continue to stand in his way. So, once the two met up (Kaatachi being under the impression that Sabir would help him protect the castle), Sabir kidnapped him and nearly killed him, sending him to the human realm in hopes that someone or something else would finish him off since humans don't take too kindly to vampires. Kaatachi, however, managed to survive, but he lost his memory when he woke up.

Kaatachi's hair color changes to red whenever he's in the human realm, but its original color is black. Because he can't remember how to control certain attributes of his humanoid form, he's currently walking around as a seven-foot tall man. When he shifts into his monstrous form (which is much more dangerous now since he doesn't remember how to control that either), his height increases to nine feet. He does happen to know how to use swords still, which works wonders since he wouldn't have to resort to using his monstrous form that often.

Currently, he is a mercenary of sorts who has worked with the Ozigbodi royal family a couple of times, and is acquainted with Osei, their crown prince. He spends most of his time either taking up work, or heading to local fighting tournaments to make a quick buck by winning the cash prize.
