✩ : Belief they’ve questioned/struggled with
What makes a human, a human? From a young age, Kirei struggled with the world’s assumption that a human must find beauty in pretty things, happiness in smiles, and sadness in tears. He was always drawn to the grotesque, to the awful, to the sad and depressing. They made him happy, they made him excited, and most of all…they made him feel like a monster. For his whole life, Kirei questioned the world’s view. Was he really such a monstrosity for being different? In the end, perhaps he never figured it out.
✬ : Something minor they enjoy
Kirei never lost his studious personality, and so, whenever he gets the chance, he enjoys sitting down in a quiet space and reading. Although his research was very pointed at first, more recently he has begun studying anything he might come across, whether that be botany or astronomy. This means that he’s also quite knowledgeable in a wide radius of subjects. As Rin pointed out, ”He knows a lot of boring stuff.”
Apart from the physical strength he built up from years and years of training, which is substantial, Kirei has had beyond extensive training in martial arts, primarily Bajiquan. He’s had so much discipline in the art that he can scan and keep up with a human magus going at speeds at least 9 times the average soldier’s, without so much as breaking a sweat. Not only that, but he’s been able to temper his core so much that, just by focusing his strength into his arms and sending pulses through his body, he’s able to break an old oak with a trunk at least twice his width in half.
