TIMELINE:
Born during the Border States War.
Age 11: separated from his family. Was taken in as a captive by traveling mercenaries. Because of his wit and age, they took pity on him and let him tag along if he could keep up
Proved to be very useful as a scout and bait (his choice of words). Expressed interest in firearms and was surprisingly adept at handling them.
Age 14: Arrived in the Mercenaries' main base where Kuva meets Rakurai (age 13), a survivor who also got the group to take him in because of Rakurai's unique electric skills at such a young age. Because they were near each other's ages, they naturally fell into each other's company and became partners.
Age 15: Awakened his prowess in the ice element. Because of Kuva and Raku's synergy and new skill set, they were slowly being deployed for more and more dangerous missions.
Age 18: The mercenaries grew in power and size. Kuva and Rakurai became a formidable team, known for their flawless and quick execution of plans— Rakurai being the front assault proficient in close quarters combat, and Kuva being a terrifyingly lethal shot with his sniper.
Age 19: Was sent on a suicide mission. He and Rakurai's team was supposed to break the city's line of fire from the south walls, instead were met by a squadron that surrounded them on all sides. Rakurai, seeing the death of his comrades, was unable to control his rampage. Kuva was fatally injured trying to stop Rakurai.
In his dying moments in the battlefield, Kuva meets the Favorkeepers. Zeignaua takes interest in his tenacity and offers him a second chance for a price. (At this point, he is deemed a Chronos Touched)
Kuva takes it with no question. In exchange for giving him renewed life, Kuva's soul is no longer allowed in the afterlife. He is to help ferry dying souls by becoming a vessel for them. This gives Kuva's left eye the ability to discern a person's closeness to death. He is essentially a reaper.
He disliked the fancy inscription on his skin (he doesn't like tattoos) so he started wearing a blindfold.
Luckily, Zeignaua is more than generous, if not questionable. Zeignaua occasionally visits Kuva to retrieve the souls from him instead of letting the souls fill up and consume him. (Zeignaua is curious with mortals and Kuva helps in keeping him entertained) (imagine being bros with a deity)
Age 19-22: Travels the war-torn country, with the war having ended (outcome? he doesn't care at this point). He's ferrying souls while searching for traces of Rakurai's whereabouts. Finds his family but does not reveal himself to them: His father had died during during the family's evacuation. Mother and Tatsuno had moved in to their grandmother's home in the countryside.
Age 22: Meets Rakurai again— Rakurai was escorting a group crosscountry to safety when they were attacked. Kuva assists them and later on tagged along so he could say hi to Rakurai again.
Kuva was a prick at this time— jokingly bringing up their last moments together and how it felt like to die. Rakurai finds this extremely triggering and resented Kuva for being flippant on Rakurai's feelings— having to go through the guilt and trauma of killing his best friend.
Age 23: a bit of a better relation with Rakurai, though Raku is still very stern with him. Kuva doesn't mind honestly. Settled in a small town because Rakurai apparently was taking care of kids by this time ("you have children?!" , "they're not mine damnit!"). Decided to just be the local gossiper.
Age 25: Zeignaua summons for him to participate as a Sentinel, a precaution for the impending opening of a Fractura (in which corrupted souls manifest in the real world). At this point, Kuva forgot (?) to tell Rakurai that he was blessed by the Favorkeepers, causing Rakurai to explode at him again.
