Basic Info

To live, you must give your life away.

Khy is a skeletal, ragged man with a sharp, beak-like nose and an eye-patch. He's as helpful as he is suspicious, equal parts neurotic and nonchalant, and completely unconcerned with his own safety. He carries no weapons and wears no armor. He has a habit of lurking, eavesdropping, and generally knowing too much, but he has yet to do anything obviously sinister. He is self-sacrificing to a fault, though blunt and awkward. No one is entirely sure where he's come from or where he's been. He tends to watch and listen, like some sort of sickly carrion bird.

Appearance

Height: 5'6

Weight:80-90 LBS

Complexion: Sallow

Hair: Black

Eyes: Brown

Particular Traits:

Voice: Gentle, middle-pitched, more air than voice

Clothing Style: Practical, favors white and black.

He has an angular, bony face framed by long, dark hair that has grown past his shoulderblades. He has a hooked nose, thin lips, and a deep-set brown eye. His teeth are crooked and there's a gap between his front incisors. He has a short, trim goatee and a stubble-darkened jaw.

He is about 5'6 and nearly corpselike in weight. If he is picked up, he can be estimated to weigh 90 pounds. His white robes are too big for him, threadbare and dirty. His skin is sallow and pale, his single eye often bloodshot. His fingernails seem to have been chewed to stubs. He often feels a few degrees colder than what is normal for people. He usually smells like sweat, dirt, grass, and blood.

He isn't exactly a handsome man; his attractiveness would be in the eye of the beholder. Still, his expression is usually soft and pleasant, and he's so withered he looks more like a homeless puppy than a threatening street rat. If he carries weapons, they must be expertly concealed, for there is absolutely no sign of such things on his person.

Mannerisms

More often than not, he stands in a slouch and moves slowly. His joints often pop when he moves. He seems incapable of running very long, as the attempt leaves him winded and breathless to the point of collapse. When he walks, its usually with his head bowed and his arms folded behind his back. When he's seated, he fidgets, tapping his fingers, playing with strings or swaying to some unheard beat.

He tends to avoid eye contact with people, and keeps his head down. It may appear as though he is not paying attention to anyone or anything, but when asked questions, he is often startlingly accurate, and he is known to bluntly point things out about people that others would have barely noticed. If he is observed closely, one can assume he is actually watching people like a hawk out of the corner of his eye. He is paying very, very close attention. It may be difficult to slip anything past him.

Personality

Overview

He's meek, patient, blunt, honest, and self-sacrificing. His giving nature seems to be born of some sort of internal issue, and he's stubbornly set in his self-destructive ways.

Details

The very first thing someone is likely to notice about Khyran is that he is self-sacrificing. Even when his life is being actively threatened, he will stare at the threat with a gentle smile and a pleasant question. If he is offered something for free, he refuses in exchange for providing services. He always seems to be looking for someone to help and something to be doing with himself. If he must do something for the sake of his own survival, it is often with reluctance and guilt. He has absolutely no regard for his own well-being, and this seems to play into every part of who he is. He simply does not know fear.

He does, however, know anxiety- for he is nervous in crowds and social gatherings. To him, socializing with strangers is like pulling teeth. He prefers watching people from corners or meeting with individuals one-on-one. When speaking to individuals, he is more of a listener. He's honest, patient, and meek. Some would find him a good friend because he does not sugar-coat what he thinks is the truth. If he sees a problem, he brings it up. If he thinks someone is doing poorly, he tries to help by shining the light on their mistakes. Above all, he wants people to be better, live fully, and feel unburdened by the aches and pains of the world.

However, some people would find him to be too blunt and his honesty brutal. Because he does not care much for himself, he is bleak and stubbornly set in his ways, making him difficult to love. He does not do well in groups, for he is socially neurotic and has difficulty with sticking his foot in his mouth. When he makes the rare attempt to fit in or contribute to light conversation, he typically makes a fool of himself.

Conclusion

At his best, he makes for pleasant, helpful company and an unbiased listening ear. At his worst, he's depressing and stubbornly set in his ways, making him infuriating to those who care about him. On top of everything, he's tight-lipped about anything in regards to his history, and the way he just stares and watches people can make him a dreadfully suspicious and enigmatic man. Still, he doesn't appear to be the sort of person capable of doing harm even if he wanted to.

"A strange man in white gave me an entire week's salary while I was starving in the gutter. As I was about to thank him, he disappeared."

"Oi, Oisin? He ain't welcome in this tavern no more. Kept starin', askin' people personal questions and creepin' 'em out. Don't trust him."
