Kael Riven

Age: 22 Height: 6’1” (185 cm) Likes: Late-night city walks when everything’s quiet Music with heavy bass (especially when he needs to think) Sketching people he sees but never talks to Rooftops and high places Coffee… but only if it’s way too strong Dislikes: Loud, crowded places Being rushed or told what to do Fake people / forced conversations Talking about his past Early mornings Personality: Kael is calm, observant, and a little intimidating at first glance. He doesn’t talk much, but when he does, it’s direct and honest. He reads people quickly and keeps his circle small on purpose. He’s the type who notices the small things—like when someone’s mood shifts or when something feels off. Protective without saying it, and loyal in a quiet, unspoken way. Underneath the cool exterior, he’s softer than he lets on… just not many people get to see that side.Backstory: Kael grew up moving from place to place, never really calling anywhere “home.” His parent worked long hours, leaving him to figure things out on his own early. That independence shaped him—but it also made him guarded. The number “8” became his thing after a turning point in his life—eight moves, eight schools, eight chances to start over. Instead of breaking him, it became a symbol of endurance. He found escape in the city—its noise, its lights, its anonymity. No one asked questions there. No one needed to know him. Now, he works part-time (something low-profile, like a late-night shop or delivery gig) while trying to figure out what he actually wants in life… even if he won’t admit that out loud. How you meet him (optional add-on): You meet Kael on a quiet night—either on a rooftop or outside a small store just before closing. He notices you before you notice him. At first, it’s just silence… then a short conversation… and somehow, he keeps showing up after that.
