Kinnison is a hunter who lived in the forest surrounding [[Ryube]] along with [[Shiro]]. When the Highland army invaded the region, Kinnison attempted to repel them, but was unable to do much on his own<ref>”He fought alongside Shiro to protect the forest from Highland, but he wasn't able to do much by himself.” - Richmond ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>.
Kinnison was a hunter who lived in the forest surrounding [[Ryube Village]] along with his dog, [[Shiro]]. He had found the young Shiro by the dog's dying mother after a storm and had raised him ever since, the two becoming firm partners.


Kinnison encountered [[Riou]] after the young leader placed a baby bird back into a tree in the forest. Sensing the young man's respect for nature, Kinnison joined the [[New State Army]].
As a child, Kinnison lived with his mother, having no memories of his father. She passed when Kinnison was around 10 years old and he was taken in by his uncle, [[Ashino]]. This was when Kinnison first encountered the forest and learned how to hunt and track.


Kinnison moved to the New State Army's headquarters but had a a difficult time getting used to the more populated castle<ref>”After living as hunters all alone in the forest, him and Shiro are having a hard time adjusting to life in the castle.” - Richmond ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>. He eventually adjusted to life there, even making friends with [[Ayda]], a hunter from [[Greenhill]].
[[File:Kinnison asks who returned the bird.png|thumb|right|220px|Great, now its mother will never accept it!]]Seeing the compassion of [[Hero (Suikoden II)|the hero]] when he returned a baby bird to its nest, he would speak with him. He would cooperate with the [[New Alliance Army]] after seeing the damage the [[Highland Army]] caused to the forest he called home on their advance. His faithful hound would also accompany him.


After the [[Dunan Unification War]], Kinnison returned to the forest in Ryube, though he visited the [[Greenhill]] forest from time to time<ref>”Returned with Shiro to the woods near Ryube, but occasionally visits the deep forest too.” - Kinnison's Ending Text ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>.
Even as part of the New Alliance Army, Kinnison's calm and peaceful nature meant that even as an archer captain, he would never shoot any more arrows than was strictly necessary. Adjusting to life at the [[New Alliance Army Headquarters]], he would grow close to [[Ayda]], a forest hunter whom he shared quite a lot in common with.

Profile

You better cough up that edible, mutt, or so help me...

A handsome youth, Kinnison had short brown hair and brown eyes. He wore a red scarf and a loose yellow coat over a white ensemble. He wore brown boots and arm bracers.

His arrow satchel was slung over his right shoulder. As such, he held his bow with his left hand and drew and fired his arrow with his right.

Personality

Kinnison was a kind-hearted young man, who hunted for a living. Very quiet and reserved by nature, he was not overly fond of people or large gatherings. He was distressed enough by the destruction of the forest by war to put that aside and fight for the New Alliance Army.

He is able to communicate and converse with Shiro through their heart-to-heart bond. He cannot communicate with any other animal in such a way, however.

History

We've lived in the forest this whole time, so it's hard to get used to so many people.

—  Kinnison

Kinnison was a hunter who lived in the forest surrounding Ryube Village along with his dog, Shiro. He had found the young Shiro by the dog's dying mother after a storm and had raised him ever since, the two becoming firm partners.

As a child, Kinnison lived with his mother, having no memories of his father. She passed when Kinnison was around 10 years old and he was taken in by his uncle, Ashino. This was when Kinnison first encountered the forest and learned how to hunt and track.

Great, now its mother will never accept it!

Seeing the compassion of the hero when he returned a baby bird to its nest, he would speak with him. He would cooperate with the New Alliance Army after seeing the damage the Highland Army caused to the forest he called home on their advance. His faithful hound would also accompany him.

Even as part of the New Alliance Army, Kinnison's calm and peaceful nature meant that even as an archer captain, he would never shoot any more arrows than was strictly necessary. Adjusting to life at the New Alliance Army Headquarters, he would grow close to Ayda, a forest hunter whom he shared quite a lot in common with.

After the Dunan Unification War, Kinnison returned his normal life in the forest near Ryube, though he visited Ayda in the deep forest from time to time.
