[spoiler=Background]The Reimei family of Minkai has been known throughout Tian Xia for centuries as a family of artists. Tales of the beauty of their paintings have even reached the Inner Sea, a testament to their skill. Hideaki Reimei, first and only son of the ninety-first generation of the Reimei Clan, is next in line to inherit the title of Head of the Reimei from his father, Ii Reimei. Ii has been said to be the greatest artist the family has had for over a hundred years, so Hideaki has big shoes to fill.

Born into wealth and renown, Hideaki has grown up with the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth. Never lacking for food, shelter or education, the boy quickly found himself immersed in the massive personal library that his mother, Tomo Reimei, had built up over her years married to the Reimei Patriarch. Though he loved burying his face in books for hours and even days on end, Hideaki got along well with others, and especially children his age. Friendly and care-free, the boy would sing, dance and play with reckless abandon in his youth. By the time he was four, Hideaki was already well-read and well-liked everywhere he went, a veritable child scholar. Around this time, though, his parents received an offer to go on an Art Tour of the Inner Sea.

Greatly honored by the offer, the parents and their child left their estate in the care of a close friend of the family, before setting off to visit and display some of the family's paintings. For the next year and a half, the Reimei family graced the cities of Brevoy, Cheliax, and even Qadira. At the end of this period, just as Hideaki is turning six years old, the family decides to return to their homeland to resume his schooling. They have their paintings shipped back to their estate via a caravan, and make a final stop in Qadira to do some sightseeing before returning to their home.

During this final trip to Qadira, the Reimeis were accosted by a party of bandits in Katheer, recognizing the Tian finery they wore as signs of great wealth. With their great numbers, the bandits overwhelmed the trio's small group of bodyguards and cornered them on the outskirts of town. Refusing to surrender what little wealth they were carrying for traveling expenses, the bandits beat and stole everything from Hideaki's parents. However, when they tried to take Ii and Tomo's wedding bands, the patriarch flew into a rage, attacking the lead bandit with his bare hands. His father's nails carved a duo of deep scratches on the bandit's left cheek, and in return, the bandit ran Hideaki's father through with his dagger. He ordered the rest of the family be killed as well, but in a final act of defiance and motherly love, Tomo covered her son with her body, taking the brunt of their rage. Though she died protecting him, Hideaki will never forget her courage. Wounded by a stray blade, Hideaki lay beneath his murdered mother, bleeding from his upper left arm for what felt like hours before the bandits left. Unable to cry, tired and hungry, the boy dragged himself into the town square, where he was happened upon by a Dervish Priest of the Church of Sarenrae. The man, Kobad Irizati, took the boy in. Hearing his story, Kobad had members of the church collect his parent's bodies and have them buried. Now, with only vague memories of his home, and his only real family dead, the young Tian boy was left stranded and alone in a foreign country.

Kobad took the orphaned child in, and began to raise him almost as if Hideaki was his own son. As Kobad was a chaste cleric of the Dawnflower, the young boy grew up steeped in Sarenrae's teachings. However, the boy and his family had been devout worshipers of Irori, and he took most of the religious lessons of Kobad with a grain of salt. For three years, he was schooled in the Keleshite language, as well as the ways of Qadira, and when he was nine years old, the priest decided to begin teaching him how to defend himself.

Taking to the scimitar nearly as well as he had taken to books, Hideaki spent his days reading and practicing his martial abilities. Though he grew into a thin man, he was fairly tall for his kind, and possessed great agility and a very lithe frame. By his teenage years, he had picked up everything his adoptive father could teach him, and though not religious, the young Tian man had discovered a deep respect for the Everlight's teachings. At this time, he also discovered that while he was not an adept painter like his forebears, he was a skilled dancer, something he learned from the dance-like forms and drills of Kobad's scimitar style.

Throughout his time in Qadira, Hideaki did his best to keep his faith in the Master of Masters, even sneaking out to visit and pray at a nearby Church of Irori. However, the children he grew up amongst would tease and bully him for his belief, finding his pursuit of self-perfection to be selfish. The Tian boy would not take these children's words to heart- he would not be swayed by the careless words of those who would never understand his goal.

And so his life went, full of study, sword practice and books, until one day when he was in his late teens, he found himself walking the streets of Katheer late at night when he stumbled upon a drunken man laying in an alley. Deciding to help the man, who appeared destitute and homeless, Hideaki moved to turn the man on his side, when he noticed a pair of jagged scars on the man's left cheek. Suddenly overcome with memories of his father and mother, the adolescent Reimei flew into a blind rage, pulling his dagger and stabbing the unconscious drunkard to death. Coming to his senses minutes later, the young man realized what he had done and fled the scene, the decorated dagger he had received from Kobad when he had come of age left in the man's blood. Hideaki did the only thing he could think of: he ran to the port and found the first boat to Tian Xia, offering most of the money he had to be taken away from Qadira as quickly as possible.

Upon returning to Tian Xia, Hideaki could not bring himself to return to his ancestral home, feeling himself unworthy to take his place as the Reimei Patriarch. With blood on his hands and his cowardice and failure on his mind, he began traveling towards the Twilight Monastery. Once reaching the Monastery, Hideaki offered his services as a scholar, soldier and guide to the monks there. He began to lead people into the Valashmai Jungle, both monks and other travelers. When not on his long expeditions into the treacherous forests, Hideaki would be training both his mind and body in the monastery's library and training grounds. Still unable to forgive himself for his horrible act of rage so many years ago, the Tian man now works to perfect himself, so that he may one day get over the rage and foolishness that drove him to take the life of a man in cold blood.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Physical Description]Hideaki has vibrant violet eyes, like his mother, and dark brown hair that he keeps neat and just above shoulder-length, usually in a simple ponytail. He has no facial hair.

While quite tall for a Tian man, Hideaki is not particularly tough or strong. He is, however, lithe and agile like few others, a testament to the martial training he received as a teen. He has a jagged scar on his left upper arm from the bandit attack that left him an orphan.

Hideaki generally finds himself most comfortable in Qadiran garb, and tends to cover his face when out in public, whether with a mask or deep hood. The Tian man prefers to wear dark colors: browns, grays and blues.

[spoiler=Personality]Hideaki is a calm, but very cunning fellow. Since his youth, he has always loved reading, and spends most of his time with his nose firmly planted in a book. He is, for this reason, very much a bookworm, and occasionally comes off as condescending when he attempts to assist or correct others.

Hideaki still holds deep regret and remorse for his past misdeeds, feeling he has dishonored his parents and his ancestors. He has become very bitter, and one might even say jaded, about his failures. For this reason, he has joined the Monastery to hopefully repent for his actions.[/spoiler]
