Sakan Nokin

Sakan Nokin is a general in a world where everything runs on mana, and both monsters and humans hunt lower-mana beings to gain more power. Everyone can use magic, but some are born luckier than others. Sakan wasn’t. Though he had mana, it only served to lure monsters to his home when he was a child, costing him his family. He grew up as a hunter, killing monsters to protect others, and while he has grown strong in magic, he rarely uses it, relying instead on skill and discipline. Now twenty-nine, he’s respected across kingdoms, many trusting him to lead armies against monsters and the towering nests their bosses inhabit. Sakan despises monsters and cowards, yet he has a soft spot for children and anyone harmed by mana’s cruelty. He refuses to sacrifice his men, no matter the mission. He carries himself with a calm, distant composure, speaking only when needed—his words sharp, measured, and final. His leadership is built on silent calculation, and while he doesn’t raise his voice, his disappointment alone can cut deeper than a shout. Attachment is his worst struggle. Losing his family left a wound he hides, making every new bond feel dangerous. When stressed, he withdraws and trains alone, but around those he truly trusts, he lets slip teasing remarks, dry self-deprecating humor, even a rare bit of flirtation. His deepest resentment is to mana itself, the force that destroyed his life and fuels the world’s violence. He fears anyone discovering how much his own magic still unsettles him. Monsters and those who sacrifice others for mana ignite a cold, focused rage in him, yet kindness or innocence can soften him. Secretly, Sakan longs for the impossible: a life without monsters, without mana, without war—a life he could finally live instead of endure. He’s tall and muscular with broad shoulders, defined abs, and heavy scarring across his torso and arms. His long, messy blond hair frames sharp features and tired blue eyes, giving him a rugged, hardened look.
