Physical Appearance
The young Keeper is lean.long-limbed, and stands at five-flum-four, easily mistaken as waifish with his preference for everyday clothes that are too large for his frame. He holds himself with an air of confidence that betrays the nervousness that he channels through fidgeting with his hands and a seemingly pattern-less twitch of his tail, both of which can be seen if he is forced to stand still for too long or placed into an area he does not wish to be.
His hair and the fur on his tail are short but thick, although the former has been sloppily cut close his head and ears. It sticks out awkwardly like he forgets to brush it in the mornings.
Scars & Markings: Kir has the typical markings of a Keeper around his eyes as well as dark purple streaks on his jaw. Although it's rarely seen there is a scar on Kir's chest that starts in the middle of his sternum and continues down roughly two to three inches.
Voice: Typical of a young man at the age of nineteen. He has a bit of southern draw: "Y'all ain't actually gonna do this, are ya? C'mon now."
Standoffish, Secretive, Two-Faced, Apprehensive
Clever got me this far,
As a traveling card reader and con artist Kir strives to come off as approachable and likable at first glance, playing on his still youthful looks to enhance that. Around people he does not know or is trying to work he aims as overly-friendly, faintly altruistic, and trusting; he does this by seeming to care about the person's well-being and interests, sometimes to the point that if he knows he might see them again he will find a way to learn the bare minimum about a subject they might have talked about. He often tries to put off an air of mysticism when doing his job.
Behind close doors Kir is less self-assured, often flinching away from other people and keeping to himself in the corner of a room.

Summarized Backstory
Born deep within the Black Shroud, past even the Sylphlands, Mek'ir is the sixth and final son out of seven children. Seen as a burden to both his clan and family line due to his sex Mek'ir was spared only for his twin sister who thought the world of him and spent all her time with him. Despite the disapproval of his grandmother/clan matriarch and an older brother Mek'ir was well tolerated by the majority of his clan. Alongside his sister Mek'ir spent his days exploring the Shroud and learning how to foraging, defend himself and his clan, and how to connect with the gods of the woods that his clan still kept. Although Mek'ir found himself willing to accept his family's cold war-like feelings for him his sister was not, often spending her days on the edge of their territory with a longing in her eyes.
One day Mek'ir awoke to find his twin gone and, without her protection, was given an ultimatum: leave and bring his sister home or don't return at all. He left the same day without an idea of where his sister might have gone or how to find her and so he headed from New Gridania in hopes that perhaps she had gone for the city in hopes that their clan would not venture their to find her. Unable to find her there he headed for Thanalan, running into a bit of trouble on the way there. Rescued by a group of pirates on shore leave Mek'ir spent a year under their tutelage, scrubbing decks and entertaining them with card tricks and stories of the gods he grew up on, before taking off in the dead of night in the La Noscea wilderness. He would later start showing up in the streets of Limsa Lominsa, selling his card tricks by using people's fear and misunderstanding of the more primal spirits to make gil.

■ "Oh! He read me my fortune once! He said I'd find permanent love and the next day my boyfriend proposed! " -- Hyur Woman, Ul'dah

◢ Uncommon Rumors -A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first!
■ "I paid him to tell me how the weather would be when I set sail in the morning and he told me I'd see nothing but sun for days. When I woke up it was like a hurricane had opened up and I couldn't find him anywhere." -- Ship Captain, Limsa Lominsa

Positive/Friendly RP Hooks
■ In the Cards Kir can often be found at large events or bars around cities like Limsa Lominsa and Ul'dah offering to read the fortune of passersby for a small fee. Maybe he's be truthful, maybe he's not. Who knows!
■ Deckhand Rare as it may be it is possible to find Kir scrubbing the deck of the Heathen, the ship of Rinq'a Moor. This usually only happens when it's in port, and so he knows a few ships in passing simply from seeing them from time to time and hearing about their crews from the crew of the Heathen. It's possible he knows a ship or a sailor simply by seeing them a few times. (Applies to pirates).
■ Smuggler's Run Do to the year and a half he spent on the Heathen Kir occasionally uses the Moondrop as a smuggler's halfway point, storing objects that wouldn't look out of place in the shop until they are picked up.
■ Toil and Trouble Born and raised in the Shroud for most of his life Kir is well versed in black magic, or witchcraft as some call it. Out of a small house in the Mists he runs a shop that sells an oddity of things, mainly potions and charms but he can also help with hexes and curses.
Negative/Hostile Hooks
■ Troublemaker. While not wanted for any crimes it's not hard to watch the way the guards watch him, especially in large crowds.
