### Pronouns

They/them

**Kerrigan "KerzidR" Riku**, known online professionally as **Kerzid** and often abbreviated to just **Ker**, is an artist and writer who specializes in comics, short stories, and short animations.

## Personal Life

Kerzid would often be seen firing up their meat grinder on Sundays if not suffering from coma-inducing headaches fighting their ADHD. They are also an avid collector of beanies and chokers, eventually setting up a precarious death trap in their closet that would immediately suffocate you with heaps of comfortable head- and neckwear.

## Disabilities

### Colorblindness

Colorblindness is something that Ker would viciously rant and screech about, and how much it impedes their process in the creation of art, so much so that they would create systems to bypass any issue that would arise. These methods include but are not limited to thoroughly checking RGB values, heavy use of layer blending, and referencing colors with eyedropper tool. However, despite the colorblindess, they find themselves praised for their use of color in their works, putting them deeper into turmoil. The mental instability of colorblindness is further pushed by the thousands of government officials who would come by to their house once a month to call them a 'color cripple'. We don't know the full extent of how this affects their psyche, but we just know that it affects them dearly.

### ADHD

While not necessarily a problem itself, ADHD pose certain pros and cons that Ker would give insight on. Usually, if they want to skip the details and summarize its nuances, they'd just post the meme seen on the left.

Not only does it grant the supernatural ability to ignore all human needs, it gives Ker a huge boost in dexterity, strength, and morale. It comes with the cost of having to turn normal again with the state of body and mind that they end with: starving and exhausted. Another major drawback is the lack of ability to determine where and when to activate it. A lot of the times this would result with Ker researching completely trivial and inconsequential things that caught their attention for four whole years while running on zero food and sleep. This lifestyle resulted in mental deterioration, causing them to cope with it by endlessly and relentlessly cyberbullying thousands of kids on the internet. Whether it is helping them or not is uncertain.

## Anonymity

Ker decided early on before entering the internet landscapes that they would focus their identity on their work and not their day to day personal life. They also encourage others to do the same for their safety and well-being; being distant to online companions and online activity in general, according to them, leaves one less open to direct personal attacks and more emotionally flexible in dealing with online interactions. This coincides with their gender and racial ambiguity; by not having anything concrete or established to attached to, in their logic, it would mean you are treated with more of an open mind, not restricted to anything external; the only thing that would matter in interactions in this case would be the person's inherent personality and demeanor. While some may see this as an unnecessary shell that impedes genuine human connections, some understand and see the uses it brings.
