If you happen to see him naked, or atleast bare-chested, you will witness a skeletal figure, as if his bones could pierce his skin at any moment. His torso is also covered in bruises, ancient or recent, and multiple scarred cuts you could guess as self-inflicted. On his left shoulder, you might spot a colored tatoo and, upon closer inspection, you would recognize an assemblage of pixels in various shades of blue, without any recognizable pattern. The tattoo seems unfinished, as if the goal was for it to cover a larger area, either the whole upper torso or around the neck to join the right shoulder. | If you happen to see him naked, or atleast bare-chested, you will witness a skeletal figure, as if his bones could pierce his skin at any moment.

− | Kerian is, for all intents, mute. He | + | Kerian is, for all intents, mute. He never developed an ability for language, stricken by disease before his first year, leaving his vocal chords unusable. Instead, as the mean to put some distance between him and the world, he prefers to express himself by texting his interlocutors or writing with alacrity on either a notebook or a tablet. When communicating, he displays a highly cynical, if not amoral and jaded, vision of the world as he seems to place no limits to what could and should be accomplished to further the goals set to him at the present moment, be they its own or the mission's. |

+ | Ages pass, mortality endures. The fight everlasting, the endless stream unfolding never to be vanquished. Robbed of his curse and boon, he now faces the current of his brother's fading, a cyan serpent head crawling on his skin. He knew before the honeyed rapture, cutting our secret with the painful shine of stainless steel, and yet before came under a watchful Eye. A preordained destiny was laid out, only to be twisted by a serpent's calling. It resonates of long-gone Eden. | ||

+ | Gods of disease and spirits of plague, such eyes were set on the child from his first breath. Cancerous blood coursed his veins before he learned to walk, cursed first years spent under a glass bubble, a deterrence that yet became lifeblood to him. He stared in Nergal's eyes, embraced the purulent arms of Namtar, and denied them their prize. The child recovered but never spoke, sacrificing the potential of a songbird for a chance at life. | ||

+ | Followed by illness, the damned child clawed his way forward. Determination made results to blossom, akin to the flowered steps of an ancient druid, and bore a champion of life. Cursed no more, he now walked the aseptic corridors that should have been his tomb. But curses he still had to fight, for life is always branded with death and its unutterable scourges. He cut open the Reaper and shone his light in its putrid veins, draining the rancid humors and trapping its fragments in countless glass prisons. | ||
