==Hindrances==
 +
'''Can't Swim''' - ''Campaign'' - Kai is fairly lean and dense and floats in much the same way a rock doesn't.
 +
 
 +
'''Demon's Curse:''' Bonding with a newly hatched ''demonspawn'' left its mark. -1 Bennie/session.
 +
 
 +
'''Mild Mannered''' - ''Minor'' - A trained fighter wouldn't mistake Kai for anything other than the same, but the average Jane just can't get past his cute monkey face and swishing tail. Folk typically just think him harmless.
 +
 
 +
'''Reckless''' - ''Minor'' - It's not that Kai doesn't think things through, it's just that he doesn't always see the ''bad'' in his ideas til it's too late.
  
==Languages==
+
'''Quirk''' - ''Minor'' - Kai's habit of climbing all the things and sometimes running on all fours gets him noticed.
  
Neogi (Native) | Common [[file:d6a.png|16px]] | Elf [[file:d6a.png|16px]] | Dwarf [[file:d6a.png|16px]]
+
'''Tongue Tied''' - ''Major'' - Kai doesn't fully understand social cues in verbal communications, often overcompensating by adding professional or social titles to people's names that may or may not be accurate.

==Bio==
 +
Kai didn't remember a time when he wasn't as he was. Born to human parents, he most decidedly was ''not'' human himself, but insomuch as was possible, he was raised as though he were.
  
: Trail Rations (6/d)
+
Children his own age, when he encountered them, were quick to point out the differences.
  
: Thief Tools
+
The skin of his hands and face was ink-black and rough, and everywhere else he was covered in orange and tawny fur. Including his tail - a feature neither of his parents possessed - and which fascinated other children to no end.
  
: Healing Potion (1)
+
Sometimes painfully so, when they wanted to pull it.
  
'''Magic Items'''
+
Nevertheless, Kai thrived in the desert world, his lean frame adept and adaptable, his fur offering protection from both cold nights and and the abrasive lash of the sands in a storm, his big hands, with their long fingers, ideally suited to digging and sifting.
: Amulet of the Riverlands: Enables the wearer to walk across liquid surfaces as though over solid ground.
 
  
==Backstory==
+
Because his parents were sand scavengers, most of Kai's formative years were spent outside the protection of city walls and the structure of society at large. Consequently, he never really learned to deal with other people in an easy and natural fashion.
Nguyen had no real notion how far the colony had fled, refugees in a land that tolerated them but didn't necessarily accept them. It had been far. Their native appearance seemed to inspire a gut reaction of primal fear, but once folk got to know them better, and their reputation caught them up, mistrust typically became the prejudice of choice.
 
  
Local thieves proved the most eager to form relationships with his folk.
+
He doesn't make friends easily, but he values those he makes, and has learned to demonstrate his own usefulness in the pursuit of forming connections in the world.
  
Which made sense. Most of them were well suited to the work.
+
It was when his mind awoke to the world around him that Kai really grew into his own. The desert came to life with a thousand thoughts, and his body and aura began to interact with the world around him. A man named Fletcher Jon saw his potential, saw what he could become, and took Kai in as his apprentice.
  
Nguyen himself was adept enough at certain aspects common to these jobs, but his heart wasn't in it. He wanted to discover things, to pry secrets from the earth, and to understand the beings that shared his time and place.
+
Under Jon's guidance, Kai became an adept - a rank similar to journeyman in other trades - earning the right to dye the sides of his beard and the center of his mane crimson to show his rank and affiliation, though there were few enough who would recognize his trade on the weight of those markings alone.
  
He wanted to be around folk who, upon seeing him, defaulted to kindness and acceptance - ''no matter how weird they were themselves''.
