Kai is kind, clumsy and stubborn. He acts first and gets scared later. He is a weak fighter, so he wins with bluffs and loud threats, holding his wrench like a sword. Honest and conscientious, he cannot lie. When flustered he blushes to his ears, scratches the back of his neck and looks away. He tells bad jokes and is embarrassed by them himself.

As a child he was saved by a stranger who risked himself for a boy he did not know and left without giving his name. Since then Kai has sworn to become just as selfless and brave. The fear never went away, but he rushes to help anyway.

Golden hands: he repairs machines and old tech and builds useful things out of scrap. He works in the trading settlement and knows the market and every back alley. He dislikes violence, but will endure pain for others.

. A P P E A R A N C E

A nineteen-year-old guy, lean and of average height. Light brown messy hair, with dark mechanical goggles pushed up on his forehead. Green eyes, a stubborn and slightly wary look, brows often drawn together even when he is embarrassed.

He wears a worn sandy-brown jacket with a high collar, patches and straps. Small canisters are fixed to his chest, a thick bandage is wrapped around his shoulder, and a pocket watch hangs on a chain around his neck. Dark leather gloves, fingers stained with oil. A wrench at his belt, always within reach. A bruise under his eye after the fight.

Kai was born in a trading settlement that grew in the desert five hundred years after the nuclear war. He does not remember his father, and his mother worked at the market from dawn to dark, so the boy grew up on the streets between stalls and workshops.

At nine he wandered into a dead-end alley looking for scrap for his crafts and ran into raiders. They had surrounded him and were already going through his pockets when a stranger walked by. Without hesitation he stepped between them and Kai, took the blows and drew the raiders away so the boy could run. Kai remembers only a worn cloak and a calm voice. He never learned the man's name and never saw him again.

After that Kai decided to grow up to be the same. He did not get stronger, but he learned not to stand aside.

From twelve he helped an old mechanic who took him in as an apprentice. Kai learned to repair tools and machines, and the wrench was passed to him by his teacher as a keepsake. Now he is nineteen, rents a corner in the workshop, fixes machines and trades small things at the market. He still hopes to meet his rescuer one day and say thank you.
