Appearance:	Rather regular Beach that he is, Eikou doesn't really stand out build-wise. Nay, the main reason he might be noticed is his coat, which is an elegant swirl of various peacock-like shades, much like a shiny watercolor painting. He has a couple white stripes along the back of his mane, but even they are a shiny sort of white. His eyes are a brilliant purple-- the only matte thing on him is his glare stripes.
History:	Eikou grew up in a rather average clan of Beach kaasht. It was a smallish one, living in varying places in between the sea and the plains, often serving to mediate between the many disputes that cropped up between the various Plains clans in the area, and sometimes even the more trusting Isles...although that was pretty rare. His childhood was rather normal...he grew up learning about the sea, healing, and how to keep two Plains kaasht who really don't like each other and could easily just sit on you from ripping each other's heads off. Not having any brothers or sisters, he instead would play with whatever kits were around at the time, which often included Plains, and every so often an Isle or two-- and even a Plains/Isle that his clan adopted. He picked up a bit of how to fight as a result, although he's far from expert at it and sees no reason why he should bother. Although being able to run like a Plains seems like it would be fun... No, he didn't grow bored with his life and wander off. Nor was his clan shredded by killer Plains, his parents beheaded by crazed Isles, or anything else unpleasant. He's stayed quite well-adjusted so far...okay, so he does like to collect rocks, and sometimes keep one for a while as a 'pet'. But that hardly would qualify one as insane... would it? He might get upset if you chucked one of his rocks back into the water or sat on him (he wishes Plains kits didn't find 'squish the little shiny kaasht!' amusing sometimes...), but otherwise, Eikou's as accepting and calm as your average Beach kaasht. Eikou ran into Luccicare near the end of his second level...the poor Murin had been searching for a kaasht that could benefit from his guidance, hovering along innocently...and then had looked in the water, and seen his reflection. Poor Luccicare, horrified at the idea of now being shiny-- shiny and *blinding neon blue* at that-- forgot all about not being seen and merely floated there, staring at the water with his eyes bugged out. He was jarred out of his "ohnoshinyaaaah!" state by a young Beach kaasht poking him, probably wondering if he was an illusion, and asking him if he was all right...and what he was doing hovering there with his eyes bugged out? Luccicare, seeing a bright shiny Beach who he hoped wouldn't care that he was blinding blue and not grey or silver or something, decided right away that if this kaasht didn't need his help now, he might in the future, darnit. A bit puzzled as to why a Murin would chose him, Eikou returned home with Luccicare following. While Eikou doesn't really need help in the sanity department, Luccicare has proved to be helpful with diplomatic sorts of things, giving his advice as to how to handle things. Eikou has been working on settling some disputes on his own lately, or with groups of other Beaches his age, and Luccicare's been around long enough to know a few useful tricks. And of course, on the off chance that something goes wrong, a shiny murin often makes for a nice distraction to give you time to run away...
Pet:	One overly shiny Murin (Luccicare)... and quite possibly a rock or two.
