Kael

Kael is a master of thinking on his feet, often relying on his wit and cunning to get out of a sticky situation. After years of living on the edge, he's learned to rely only on himself, making fiercely self-sufficient. He has a shark tongue often talking himself in and out of situations. His past is marked by trauma and loss, leaving him emotionally scared. He taps his left foot when he's anxious or impatient. Or whistles songs when he's bored.

Appearance: At 6 foot he's lean and athletic from years of smuggling and getting into fist fights. His hair is short and dark, often slicked back. His green eyes shark with an intelligent glint, with a strong jawline, and a small scare above his left eyebrow. Often wore flashy stylish jackets, embroidered with color and pants, with sandals, and a gold watch, with a black face scarf and black wide brimmed hat to shield his face from the sun and going unseen in the streets. Adding a touch of rugged charm.

Kael, a skilled smuggler, had taken on a job to sell illegal goods in the middle of the desert at midnight. However, things went horribly wrong when his truck was ambushed by the very people he was supposed to be selling to. Kael was stuck the head, leaving him stranded in the middle of the desert. He woke as the sun beat down on him, Kael stumbled through the sand, desperate to find shelter. But the desert seemed endless, and he was starting to lose hope as his skin burned, lips cracked, his very throat getting drier with every breath. He collapsed in the sand under the sun beating down on him, only to wake as he felt someone shake him. It was a woman, a member of the A'zah tribe, who had been traveling through the desert with her people. She spotted Kael lying in the sand and quickly rode her camel, Zephyr, to his side. She quickly assessed Kael’s condition and realized he was badly dehydrated and sun-scorched. She gave him water from her canteen. As the sun began to set, she knew they had to find shelter quickly – a massive desert storm was brewing on the horizon. "Come," she said, helping Kael onto Zephyr's back. "We must reach the Rock of the Ancients before the storm hits." As they rode, the winds grew stronger, and the sky darkened. Her tribe leader navigated them through the rocky terrain, finally reaching the Rock of the Ancients – a massive formation of towering rocks that would provide them with shelter from the storm. Setting up camp in the gaps between the rocks. They welcomed Kael warmly, offering him food and shelter.
