Kutun is a Haven trainee undergoing archery and combat training with Venka. Despite being skinny and young, Kutun demonstrates exceptional determination that marks him as a future member of the Aegis contingent.
Physical Description
Kutun is described as skinny and still timidly stepping out of childhood. His arms shake slightly when drawing a bow, indicating he requires additional physical training to correct this weakness.
Training
391 AC - Archery Training with Venka
Venka trained Kutun in archery at Haven, adjusting his posture and the position of his shoulders during practice. Venka instructed Kutun to completely clear his lungs, hold his breath, and empty his mind to concentrate solely on the target. This technique helped steady his shaking hands.
During one session, Kutun’s arrow pierced the air and stuck in a straw dummy slightly left of the bullseye, missing the center by approximately an inch. Kutun sighed and fumed internally at the miss, muttering a curse under his breath. Venka ruffled his hair and congratulated him despite Kutun’s anger at himself for the imperfect shot.
The training began at dawn and covered multiple fields throughout the day. Venka prepared meals during breaks between workshop sessions. Before snack time, Venka gave Kutun “one last thrashing” as additional practice.
Personality
Kutun possesses determination in spades, which Venka identified as the quality that matters most. Despite his youth and physical limitations, his refusal to accept imperfection drives his improvement. He becomes frustrated with himself when failing to achieve perfect results, showing the competitive spirit necessary for a warrior.
Kutun demonstrates stubbornness similar to other Bravos trainees, refusing to be satisfied with near-success and constantly pushing himself to improve.
Future Path
Venka assessed that Kutun will make a fine addition to the Aegis contingents once he reaches the appropriate age to join the Expeditionary Corps. With determination as his foundation, the physical skills and precision will develop through continued training.
