  there is,   i have heard, a little thing called sunrise, in which the sun reverses the process we all viewed the night before. you might assume such a thing as mythical as those beasts that guard the corners of the earth, but i have it on the finest authority, and have, indeed, from time to time, regarded it with my own eyes.

what's one last walk
as whoever you're destined to be?

  SYNOPSIS   the definition of a free spirit.
a seasoned traveler whose wanderlust knows no bounds. kai roams the star in his unending quest to live out the next great adventure. he has touched countless lives over the years, and they too have left countless impacts on his own, shaping him into the infuriating man he is today. what role will he play in your story?

  VISAGE   bright eyes frame a brighter smile. kai's wardrobe contains a wide range of outfits from traditional far eastern robes to more modern slacks and coats. he's quite fond of eyewear, and can often be found hiding his gaze and framing his bombastic* smile with them. beneath the cloth lies a once emaciated figure that has been steadily growing muscle.

* you may have a different word for this.

  PERSONA   the first to make an awful play on words, and the first to laugh at his own jokes. kai faces each sun's challenges with a grin and no intention of taking them very seriously. his fun-loving nature is infectious in day-to-day dalliances and earns him an equal amount of consternation when pitted against an objectively dire situation.flippant nature aside, the doman is easy-breezy, able to slip himself in the good graces of anyone who needs a friend to while the bells away with. well-traveled wisdom gleams behind his foolish facade, and he is wont to share his advice with those who find themselves in need of guidance—and those who didn't ask, besides.he has an avid interest in all things adventure and will drop most plans at the mere mention of anything from caravan escorts to big game hunting. no task is too small for his purview... and given his nosy nature, fewer still will go unnoticed once posted on any job board. kai has a wealth of adventuring experience to pass along on the job, whether you want to hear about it or not.off the field, he's quite the scholar and artisan, enjoying jaunts to old sharlayan's noumenon to give lectures or working at a quaint little noodle restaurant. he's a passionate chef and an avid alchemist... and maybe a little too eager to train and spar all sun and all night long.

  fate.   as a child, that word was often my only companion. it whispered to me from dark corners during lonely nights. it was the song of the birds in spring and the call of the wind through bare branches on a cold winter afternoon. fate. both my anguish and my solace. my escort and my cage.

all that is left to bring you pain, are the   memories.   if you face those, you’ll be free. you can’t spend the rest of your life hiding from yourself; always afraid that your memories will incapacitate you, and they will if you continue to bury them.

— hooks.

  adventure.  
does your character enjoy a right proper side quest? are they a connoisseur of leveplates? do they live bounty to bounty? chances are, they'll find kai scoping out job notices at the various adventurer's guilds—and elsewhere besides! wanna team up for that hunt?

  foodventure.  
he is, in fact, a chef. kai primarily works as a chef for a far eastern fusion restaurant that has locations all over the city states and more. if you ever find yourself hungry and he's around, you won't be hungry for long. in terms of eating, the man's hardly picky—if he can stomach it, he will devour it.

  alchemy... ventures?  
while he's a fresh face at ul'dah's alchemist's guild, kai is no slouch when it comes to the craft. he's rather enthusiastic about brewing potions, making old world salves and remedies for wounds, and enchanting everything from household items to grimoires to the clothes on his back. if you're willing to take a chance on him, maybe he can make something useful for you.

  a venture in education.  
word on the street is that there's a new adjunct professor at the studium, offering pop-up lectures on a wide range of topics from aetherology to old world history and even gastronomy. fellow faculty members might just scratch their heads at the presence of an all too unserious temp hire among their ranks, but it'll all be fiiiiiiine. ...right?

  selling adventure.  
are you an ishgardian in need of getting work done in the region? kai can help get your levequest set up with an independent adventurer's guild in empyreum. ...just try to stay focused. the building also happens to double as an arcade, and there are lots of flashing lights to disorient visitors.

  the neverending training montage.  
despite his willowy stature and parchment-tier constitution, kai spends almost all of his waking hours training. friends and strangers alike can find him running laps outside of the city states. he's always eager to spar... perhaps to a fault. fightsexual might just be his middle name.

  pay him back on watersday.  
perhaps you've accrued a bit of debt. maybe you lost your coinpurse on a tavern run. are you trying to buy a new sword? if you're not the type to live hyperindependently, ask kai for a handout. he's not only surprisingly generous—he's also loaded.

  curiosity.  
nevermind the nosy, inquisitive nature of the doman. perhaps you'll find that he's worth more curiosity instead. he is, after all a wealth of contradictions. does your character fancy themself a sleuth? drawn to a good-slash-half-baked mystery? upset enough at kai that you just want to hear him supply one straight answer to their questions? perhaps your pursuit will bear fruit.

— rumors.

that adventurer fellow always knows when i'm taking my break... can't complain though, he gets me free grog and knows my tastes better than i do!ㅤmystelious miqo'teㅤ

kai's got a smile that could light up a room! he's never short of being the life of the party, really. the biting wit's not for everyone, though, i can tell you that.

ㅤfurious floristㅤ

his smile makes me want to gag.ㅤdour dragoonㅤ
uncommon.
for what the bastard lacks in manners, twofold does he make up for it with curiosity. he surely doesn't know when to stop digging too deep, but perhaps whether it's a boon or a bane is up to interpretation.ㅤgreasemonkeyㅤ

i heard that the boss–whoops! sorry, i mean i heard that kai really knows his way around old allagan tek nowadays... maybe i should ask him to fix my tomestone!ㅤexhausted engineerㅤ

he comes and goes like the wind. an ill-timed breeze. the type that blows your laundry off the clothesline before laughing about it.

we finally cut that sweatshop contract with the crazy doman who wanted three-hundred barrels of refined aetheric ink a moon... though it would have been helpful if kai had been with us before. he's quite the mixologist.ㅤperceptive professorㅤ

'kai', huh? and we're colleagues now? well, he sure knows how to keep himself amused.ㅤerudite egalitarianㅤ

  mun.   hi. i'm sagi. thanks for taking the time to read through my little guy's carrd. if you're an old friend and you've got questions, then the most simple answer i can give you is a resounding "yes, you're probably right."

  time.   my timezone is gmt-5/6 (central standard) and i currently work six days a week in the mornings. i tend to be most active during the day and in the early evenings, but you might catch me at night on my off days. if you see me and wanna plan some rp, i'm down to give my discord or other contact info out for communication.

  themes.   i enjoy a wide range of themes from slice of life to action to the darker stuff. kai's pretty solidly a 'good guy' type, so while i'm interested in having him meet all sorts of people he isn't very likely to join criminal rp circles. more mature themes are also on the table, but i won't engage in smut with any characters/writers under twenty-one.

  lore.   i tend to be pretty flexible with game lore. there's a lot of neat material that allows for creativity in peoples' backstories and character concepts. if you're very lore-stringent then we might not be the best match as rp partners in the long run. in the short run, i tend to keep any fantastical elements in kai's story off the table while in public.

  conflict.   drama and combat are pretty okay here. i enjoy both freeform and dice-based fighting. hurting kai is a-okay, but please ask before you make an attempt to maim or disfigure him. death is not on the table at this time. or at any time, really. i've tried and failed. i like this one too much. 😔

  take it easy.   we both deserve to have fun with this hobby. don't engage with what you don't like, and don't change your character just to fit in with everyone else. you'll never please anyone, but the ones who matter will stick with you over the years. thanks again for taking the time to snoop.
