バン蒲生 Gamo Bhan

バックグラウンドBackground
Gamo was born to a happy married couple in Tochi No Eien No Hana, and it didn't take long for doctors to notice that his body had a problem absorbing nutrients from the foods he ate. He spent most of his early life in the company of doctors, who tried a variety of treatments for his apparent ailment. His every move was tracked, including what he ate, and the mystery around his illness limited what he could genuinely do when he wasn't being watched. The young child had enough, and in a jealous rage, he ran away from his home, wanting to be like other kids and live his life freely. Gano went into the nearby forest of Niwatoko in pursuit of freedom, but his hopes were dashed when he came face to face with a Catgator, who nearly killed him. Fortunately for him, a woman arrived in front of him and saved his life. Her name was "Wanderer Kao," and her past was shrouded in mystery. When she took Gano to her nearby tent, they had a chat that completely changed Gano's perspective. Kao's perspective on the immensity and grandeur of the world, as well as his admiration for everything, perfectly complemented Gano's solitude. This was the perspective of someone who has traveled the globe. Gano wanted her to go on adventures with him, which she politely declined and instead issued an ultimatum.

"Grow to embrace yourself first, and then I'll plant a seed in you that will allow you to love the world."

The woman's comment perplexed Gano, but she went without explaining herself. Gano came home to a stern reprimand and resumed his routine clinical duties, but with one objective in mind: 'To embrace himself.' Gano finally found the answer he needed after much thought, embracing his situation and finding a method to grow in order to overcome it. "What if I could bend my body's nutrients?" He pondered, a childhood fantasy that he had no idea would come true. When he made his breakthrough, he was only 15 years old. Gano spent years practicing with other elementalists before coming up with his solution. He could limit the damage done to his body by managing the iron in his system rather than relying on treatments. Gano returned to the forest with this discovery in his hands, only to find Kao waiting for him. Following that, they spent the next three years practicing together, with Kao sharing her knowledge of martial arts, spirituality, and the world with Gamo, providing him with the tools he needed to forge his own path in life. Their time together had to come to an end eventually, and master and student exchanged emotional goodbyes. Gamo was now 18 years old, and he went to Konohana's Temple to join the monks with whatever strength he had been given. He desired to deepen his spirituality and connection to the world, as well as develop gratitude for the life he had been given.

He stayed there for a total of 24 years. Now 42 years old. He ultimately felt content with himself after becoming one of the temple's most spiritual monks. The man then exited the temple without saying anything to anyone else. He then spent several years traveling across the world, experiencing what each country had to offer in terms of animals, plants, and food. He welcomed everything and felt a part of it all. While living as a nomad, he gradually developed culinary skills, combining his knowledge of tastes and flavors from other countries to create unique dishes. Those who had had a meal with him during his wanderings began to refer to him as 'Wild Tongue.' After years of travelling, his health and age finally caught up with him. Knowing that his time was running out, he returned to Tochi No Eien No Hana to demonstrate the temple and its members his progress. Gano had come to know in his old age that there was one last thing he wanted to do before he died, and that was to ignite a torch for a fresh soul, just as his master had done for him. Soon after his return, his achievements earned him a position as a Tseng Clan retainer, where he hopes to fulfill the final wish before his flame burns out.
