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.
 
  
−
Children his own age, when he encountered them, were quick to point out the differences.
+
: Trail Rations (6/d)
  
−
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.
+
: Thief Tools
  
−
Sometimes painfully so, when they wanted to pull it.
+
: Healing Potion (1)
  
−
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.
+
'''Magic Items'''
 +
: Amulet of the Riverlands: Enables the wearer to walk across liquid surfaces as though over solid ground.
  
−
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.
+
==Backstory==
 +
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.
  
−
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.
+
Local thieves proved the most eager to form relationships with his folk.
  
−
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.
+
Which made sense. Most of them were well suited to the work.
  
−
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.
+
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.
  
 +
He wanted to be around folk who, upon seeing him, defaulted to kindness and acceptance - ''no matter how weird they were themselves''.

Backstory[edit]

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.

Which made sense. Most of them were well suited to the work.

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.

He wanted to be around folk who, upon seeing him, defaulted to kindness and acceptance - no matter how weird they were themselves.
