Anyways I am a sorcerer/bard who is in a party with adventurers we are called Vox Arcanum oh also I'm 19 years old totally important not.

## **Description**

### **Appearance**

Kas has light purple like skin with a bit of a light starry like glow especially when it is dark it becomes much more noticeable. He also wears a sleeveless denim jacket with the symbol of The Blood Drop Gang on the back of it. He also has his iconic white shutter shades on which is hard to miss. Kas also has many piercings on his face with an ear piercing along with 2 more on top, 2 on his right eyebrow and one on his left. He also wears a necklace that has skulls on them and wears 3 rings on his ring, index, and middle finger, and has a spiked wristband on his left hand. Has tattoos that glow when he is using his magic one big one on his chest which seems to be genasi like as well as another on his left arm that seem to also be genasi like. Kas sadly has a bit of prosthetics due to battle's he has been in one being a white porcelain hand made by Bosso Kettlepot for his left hand, and a majority of his right arm is a wooden prosthetic he had specially made for him. Kas is a slim man but has toned muscles he always has a spray can on his belt which he uses for his spell focus. Along with ripped miner pants and boots to still show where he started from. His hair kind of has that pompadour look that is purple with violet and pink streaks in the front. He has a gruff chin beard that is black. Finally his eyes are galaxy like that really stand out.

### **Personality**

Kas well he is hard to miss you know he is around with his iconic style/look. He also speaks in an australian/english accent. As well as he is one to have the attention on him whether that be drinking the most in a tavern, getting into trouble by flirting or sleeping with people's girlfriend's/boyfriend's. Kas is a huge flirt as he has his way with words this is also why he is very charismatic as he loves to blow people away with his words. This is why he goes by The Astral Tongue with his ease of convincing others. Kas is very cocky when he knows anything is in his strengths or favor he is very confident he is better and will win. He's gotten better when to be and when not to be cocky. Kas is a rebellious guy too but as time went on he has grown to be very mature. Out of everyone in Vox Arcanum he is the most notable mature when it comes to realization of a situation or on how to handle one. "People say I changed a lot, A lot changed me" is how Kas see's himself with what he has dealt with. Also Kas doesn't do well when it comes to a noble or rich way of life. When he is invited to fancy events it is hard for him to fit in or know how to because he doesn't know the lifestyle he is used to the poor lifestyle with having to work hard just for a bit of reward. Kas may not show his flaws but a big flaw he has is his stubbornness or recklessness when it comes to winning. Kas is not afraid to put himself at risk of death if it means to save others this is shown a lot with the loss of limbs and how many times he has gotten killed. Kas has gotten better at avoiding doing that to himself but he still will not hesitate if it comes to his life or others. A weakness of his is the feeling of being useless Kas hates not being able to help in anyway it gets him upset so he tries to be of use in anyway.

## **Biography**

### **Background**

Kas Lichtr is your average fire genasi kid living in Rimeshore and working in the mines. Kas’s father is Kassidy Lichtr and his mother’s name is Shida Lichtr. Kas’s father is a well-known miner in his village Rimeshore which is known to have a great amount of gold. Shida is a merchant for the village as she travels to help sell the gold. Kas has 1 younger brother and sister whose names are Zenam and Ami. Zenam is 14 while Ami is 10. Zenam helps with packaging the gold and Ami just stays by her mom’s side while everyone is working.

Growing up Kas would work in the mines with his father but one day Kas saw Zenam get picked on for being weak. Kas holds his family very dear to him and he beat the crap out of the kid. The families were concerned for Kas as they feared he was an unstable kid who’d one day lose control and cause chaos in the village. This fight caught the eye of the village’s sage Imari who studies many different arts of magic. Years of watching Kas she noticed he would go out of his way to help the people whether that was to help find lost livestock or scare away some predators to prevent them from killing the livestock. Imari then asked Kas if he’d like to learn magic as she believed that was the best option for him. Kas agreed to learn it as he knew it would help him be strong enough to protect his village and family. After years and years of practicing and studying magic. Kas had to create some sort of spell that he didn’t learn. As Kas was filled with motivation nothing happened and he just stormed out. Kas then took his spray can to graffiti his emotions and as he sprayed he noticed he opened some sort of purple translucent tear in reality curiosity filled Kas as he stepped into it and ended up back with Imari. Imari was proud as well as surprised as she didn’t know such magic existed.

Kas then told his father and mother but they didn’t care much for it as they told him it's useless and for people like them mining and selling gold is all there is to their life. Kas refused to accept that and once he was around 14 he started his own gang called “Blood Drop” where he met his best friend who is a Maroon tiefling named Erzer Theri who was a newly trained fighter, another friend was a human named Kyle Xackton a newly trained bard and lastly their female friend who was also a Fire Genasi named Edah Zir who was a newly trained cleric. Together they would secretly run off to nearby villages and ask for some quests but they were all laughed at for being way too young and they would just get themselves killed. This made them upset and they would vandalize quest boards along with village houses. The Blooddrop gang would also spar with each other to show off some skills. When they get caught they would lure the people chasing them into a trap and laugh and run away. Nearby villages heard of their gang and their shenanigans that they were made out to be cautioned for by the tricks they play. One day while they were helping look for a runaway sheep they found a big bear that has been eating the sheep running away to ask for help. They lost the bear. Then after a while, the bear attacked the village killing a few of the villagers. Kas decided his gang had to buy time for help to arrive. Kas and his gang fought the bear but weren’t ready as Kyle got clawed and eaten right in front of his eyes he told everyone to run but Erzer and Edah refused. Edah got slammed into a tree and fell unconscious right as the bear went to attack Erzer Kas ran up to the bear, pushed Erzer out the way. Kas was not scared, he knew this was when he needed to protect his village he looked into the bear's eyes and he noticed back from the readings he did with Imari that the bear seemed to be in some sort of spell that was controlling it. But with this Kas grabbed his spray can and began to spray it but nothing came out but the normal paint. He filled with panic and threw the paintcan at the floor exploding and right underneath the bear a huge rift appeared as Kas just saw two big claws with fiery aspects to them claw the bear and dragged it into thin air. Kas then saw a cloaked figure in the woods he yelled at them to stop and ran towards it he just saw a glimpse of dark dust surrounding him as he fell unconscious the only thing he remembers seeing is a symbol of some sort but only a glimpse.

As he woke up his whole village cheered him on, thanking him and telling him that he is their hero. After the incident people then would trust him and his gang having them now go on little quests hunting big animals or taking down some bandits. As years went on Kas became cockier because he knew he was good at his job as well as the most important thing to him he was good at taking out animals and bandits. Word got out that Kas was able to open these rifts/tears in reality and began to cause fear as they didn’t know how strong this magic was. Kas then would go and raid villages to gather goods for his village by opening rifts to steal but sometimes things didn’t go as planned and he would accidentally cause things to fall out of rifts or the rifts would suck some things into it. As well as Kas opened up a rift and as he put his hand through it the rift closed which then cut Kas’s hand clean off. After all the work Kas and Blooddrop had done the village then knew Kas was destined for something greater than just a plain ol miner and a few other villages around knew him too. Kas became very close with Edah and Erzer was jealous of this as he would always try and 1up Kas but never could succeed as Kas was just better than him and not just in skill but in looks as well as he always got the ladies. Everything changed as one night Edah was kidnapped in the night Kas only then was left a note with blood on it that said “That bear was supposed to be your end, but you had to play hero when you're nothing but a wannabe. Now you’ll experience the consequences of being a hero. Your lovely friend here would make a great slave. I am sure my boss will appreciate her. Goodbye “Hero '' Hopefully your friend survives” and ends with a bloody kiss lip stain at the end. Kassidy and Shida both agreed that Kas should go to the nearest kingdom Aahl as the military may know a thing or two about the kidnappings of young girls.

Kas then told Zenam to take care of mom, dad, and Ami he promised that he would. As he left, the village threw a big farewell feast for Kas and Erzer as their journey was just beginning to become real Heros. Kas was going to do what he could to save Edah and Erzer too wanted to help. Erzer then tells Kas he will be joining the Lauded Aegis as he believes this will be crucial to make connections and help find info on where Edah could be. As Kas began to travel he told himself he needed to really learn how his magic works and when to activate it as he only was able to use it when he was in grave danger. One day he was traveling and met Bosso, a Gnome Artificer that he paid to create a mechanical hand for Kas. Kas then began to see a bright light in the sky as he seen the moon Thunogan began to turn purple with cracks of purple into it as this happened Kas began to feel this burning sensation from his spray can as he looked he seen a rift began to cover him screaming in pain Kas ran and ran until he passed out from the stress. As he woke he saw his skin was all translucent as well as starry, turning into an Astral Genasi. Amazed and worried he felt a sudden urge to create a rift to see if that had changed and as he sprayed the can a rift appeared with no hesitation as he kept creating rifts he noticed they were different. Kas knew that this power was something that could be great but he needs to learn how to master and from this day on Kas will make sure he finds a way to learn and master this magic that he was born with.

### **Meeting Vox Arcanum**

As Kas went on to discover if there is any hope of getting answers about his magic he was told about a party called Vox Arcanum. Kas made his way to Kingdom of Illentine to find this party. After asking around he finally found them now first impressions were ok Kas is not one to judge as he understands himself you can't judge someone based off their appearance because they may be very strong. After talking Kas fit right in as he loves meeting new people and talking. He was being himself cracking joke or two but in all seriousness he asked if they know why the cracking of Thunogan happened and unfortunately they didn't but he did find out he wasn't the only one to have something happen. As the Fox who goes by BlackJack. BlackJack had his magic go out of control and things kept happening where he goes and still loses its grip here and there. Also the Gnome Bosmath Kettlepot got a sudden pain on their back of their head that would cause great pain but also grant some sort of power to them. After consideration Kas didn't mind going along as he wasn't alone in this situation that made Kas felt relieved. Vox Arcanum would also travel a lot with this Kas also would hope they could eventually stumble upon information in where Eidah is.

## Relationships

This is the section in which you would add the important relationships with party members/NPCs. I will use Ulysses Jefferson Bramble as the example for this.

### Eidah

Eidah met Kas when they were just little kids as they all grew up together due to their small village and their parents being close friends. Kas always stood out from the rest as he put himself out there doing rebellious things always making funny remarks. Eidah then developed feelings for Kas but he was always oblivious to it as Kas would always flirt and mess around with other girls. Eidah was shocked when he asked her to be apart of The Blood Drop gang. Eidah didn't just fall for Kas because of looks and being a bad boy she saw through like no one else. Eidah seen the boy who wanted to save people, who wasn't afraid of putting others before him and most importantly his will to not give up and fight for what is right regardless of the cost and how strong they were. Kas eventually realized he loved Eidah after he found her in Moody Mag's lair. Not much later he confessed his love to Eidah before taking on Hoth and that is when he had to no longer fight recklessly and have a reason to live and not get hurt and to make it back to Eidah. Afterwards Eidah and Kas had their own child Kas.Jr right before Kas got lost in the Ionos Ambit.
