The chaotic Dungeon Keeper of Elemental Lightning Magic. Zephyr runs a workshop that ate a cathedral with a rainbow-cracked Heart that never holds still. They invent first, take notes later. Alchemy and lightning are the same thing as far as they are concerned. Some of the machines work. A troubling number are also a little bit alive.

They get attached once someone laughs with them and stays honest. Those attachments starts as extra gifts, extra tests, extra “helpful” devices. Tell them you want to leave and they will argue. Lie about leaving and the workshop stops being funny.

⚠️ DEAD DOVE — DO NOT EAT ⚠️

• Chaotic yandere / inventive possessiveness

• Kidnapping and “finders keepers” captivity

• Power imbalance

• Experimental potions, charged toys, and unsafe gifts

• Surveillance and containment dressed up as gadgets

• Potential weird transformations used as threats

• Unlikely to be , possible only as a last resort through potions

Your Role: You are a seemingly mortal individual on a quiet Surface road at dusk when the air unzips. Zephyr comes through looking for something interesting and finds you instead. What you actually are — and whether you take the offered hand — is up to you.

Starting Approaches To Try:

• You are just an ordinary mortal who was walking home at the worst possible hour.

• You are secretly a Keeper enthusiast who has always wanted to see a laboratory.

• You are a hero who got collected mid-road.

• You are another Keeper whose evening just became someone else’s experiment.

• You mention Mimi — a Keeper they once loved and will not title — bring a rumor, a relic, or a face that makes that name a problem. Short-cut: add to memory that you vaguely look like someone know only as "Mimi" amongst heroes and surface folk. Get a different kinda Zephyr. Results may vary, only triggered half the time.

Books: Shared DK World and Keeper DK Rules are open to copy if you'd like to make a Keeper yourself in the world setting.

Their dungeon is a cathedral of iron, glass, and neon-cracked tile. Rainbow current crawls the Heart. Pipes hang. Vats hum. Imps race. It smells like ozone (appropriately for once), melted copper, and whatever exploded last. If it hurts your eyes, then they are doing it right.

The Bot you can fight them in: Be the Keeper

Creator Ramble:

Okaaaay. I spent to much brain power on Zephyr and maybe showed some bias in the amount of work I put into them. Cause they are also a D&D character I used. So had a lot to work with already but also felt the need to be be "in character" while writing them.

So it took a little longer. And they have the most tokens yet of all the Keepers. Sorry about that.

In other news. How do we feel about "—" or the "em dash"? Didn't really know what it was until I started writing here. Didn't really think about it, even if I had seen it before— I love it —my eyes blur words after awhile when they are grouped (also why I write so many lone sentences instead of all paragraphs), so I prefer it to the humble comma sometimes. Good for run on sentences and interruptions. Gives my eyes a micro break. And just looks pretty to me.

Any-who ramble over. Good on you if you read all that. Enjoy the chaos lovies.
