Background
Itsuki Yamazaki, one of the Yamazaki twins and veteran from his nation of birth. His life started in the faraway land of Kara-Tur, the birthplace of all pureblood Yamazaki, which is seen through their vibrant tomato coloured hair.

At a young age he began to develop some magical ability, but nowhere near as much as his brother Ichigo. Due to his lack of major magical ability he had always been seen as second to his brother, a struggle in the life of a child in a wealthy household. Although this was the case for his spellcasting, he learned another magical skill, long forgotten by the land of Kara-Tur; Runes. This long forgotten skill, only found in the most ancient of objects, was the first magic to be harnessed by the Yamazaki family after learning from the giants, although it was quickly replaced by spellcasting in the future. Itsuki stumbled across this powerful magic at the young age of 8, while he was exploring in the woods to get away from the scolding of his parents about his lack of magical ability. During his exploration, as he ran through the forest floor, he approached a cliff. As he walked closer to see if there was any way to climb up, he stepped on an oddly carved rock and his dormant magic activated the rune on top, Letting him grow up to six feet tall at his young age. He was strong enough to scale the cliff, and with it he found a mystical cavern filled with statues of giants towering over him, and, more importantly, runes. As he explored the cavern for the first time, he quickly became attached to the cavern, keeping it a secret for himself of course.

As the years went by, he built a small hideout in the ancient giant cavern, experimenting with runes and channeling his magic ability into these strange carvings in the walls and recording what he found. He became fond of the area, but never told anyone about it, not his parents and especially not his brother. He wanted to be the sole Rune Knight of the family. As he grew taller, finally reaching six feet tall, he grew even larger with the first rune he stumbled across, which he had never even thought to study. It turned out this magic could be activated at any time, without the use of a rune and so he mastered the ability he called "Giant's Might." This ability has been able to help him in many situations, and has let him get bigger the better he got with this "magic".

Around the age of 16 he decided to enlist in the military for a while. During this time his use of Giant's Might helped him move up the ranks at a speed unseen before in his homeland. As he did this he also learned how to smith tools and armour for the regiment, using his giants might to aid in the speed of the craft. These skills combined allowed him to be the 3rd in command of the military, with his own command. Around the age of 18, after being the youngest officer, he retired as he realized his love for runes was his true calling.
