Keiji

Keiji is your run of the mill technowitch; clumsy to a fault, broke as hell and getting judgemental faces whenever people catch sight of vast amounts of his belongings because noone needs that many jars and candles, Keniji, what are you even doing with your life, you silly boy?

Or perhaps that last one really is only lightning dragons and he should have choosen to settle in literally any place else in Sornieth after all. The Starfall Isles are supposed to be nice, this time of the year.

Too bad that that wouldn't be right. He needs it, the anticipation in the air, the thunder audible in the distance no matter the time of day, the lightning from the sky and ground both always ready to fry dragons taking flight carelessly. To say nothing of all the technology, the old and the things so new that they are still being tested, the public everyday stuff and the hidden secret kinds that don't actually exist, we have no clue what you're talking about, no sir.

It is true that Keiji had stumbled into this subsociety utterly unprepared on his old clans mandatory coming of age travels. He had not known much, never even read up about this stopover of his round trip before his arrival. Mistakes were made, mostly by him.

Any hurdles hadn't really stopped him for long. The more he learned the more he wanted to know, a vicious circle with only one logical conclusion. And so to this day he has yet to leave.

Finding a clan to house him was the easy part. That eventually became joining when his original clan clued in to the fact that he's not gonna come back and promptly threw him out. He regrets how that went down. Especially about his older sister, she's not answering any of his letters, so Keiji has no idea what's going on in her life.

But regrets are useless. Same for worrying about the future. There is only one thing of importance, and that's the present.

It's that mindset that has got him penniless all the time. Oh well. His needs can generally be covered by just a handful sessions a month, where he divines, exorcises rogue A.I.'s and does whatever other witchy stuff the dragons in the area need or want him to do. Occassionally he designs tattoos with magical properties.

Like the pattern on Keijis belly, which is a technomagical tattoo, he chose to get only partially to cover up the black, the decidedly uncolourful parts of his appearence. On top of it's easthetic value, it really is very practical.
