Name: Keiji Kagura
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Appearance:
Keiji is tall enough, but nothing special for a young man of his age, with a lean frame. His body is fit, but lanky rather than muscular, and is slightly tan due to the hours spent outside playing sports. His hair is brownish orange and is kept tidy for school, but otherwise has a messy look. His eyes are a clear, dim yellow color. His features are rather average, but regular. He has an approachable air.
Keiji usually favors comfort over fashion, but his clothes have that ‘cool’ sloppy look to them. He adheres to uniform rules, though, so he makes sure he looks acceptably neat before entering school. He wears a silver necklace with a spindly cross on it with a motif that vaguely resembles a fleur-de-lis.
Personality:
Keiji normally seems easygoing and friendly. He strikes up conversation easily and generally comes off as an all-around cool guy to hang out with. He participates in a couple of school activities, but he’s not too implicated in anything. A good word to describe him would be ‘moderate’. He doesn’t like to go sticking his nose in other people’s business, and though he’s fairly popular, he prefers to lay low. He’s also fun-loving and good-humored; he doesn’t mind getting into a bit of trouble and doesn’t often blame people for their mistakes. He doesn’t like to force his own opinions on other people, and though he likes to talk a lot, you’ll realize that you don’t often hear his opinions on big and important topics, which he seems to skirt around.
However, in reality Keiji doesn’t think much of it all. He’s naturally friendly, but doesn’t care all that much about his friends. He doesn’t dislike them, but he doesn’t have much of an emotional attachment to anyone. He also lacks motivation—not because there aren’t things he wants to do, but rather because he knows that he’ll drift through life on an already-paved path: there are guidelines, people, things that will help him through whatever he chooses to do. Society assures his protection. Keiji doesn’t resent this, per se, but finds that it makes things uninteresting. He dislikes placing his future in society’s hands, and feels like people will never be able to know what they are actually able to achieve by themselves. He knows that he, despite doing well in school and being well-liked by his peers, wouldn’t amount to anything by himself and that he, along with every other person, is reliant. Though he understands that it’s a need for security versus a need for individuality, he still views society as a sort of handicap: people follow trends and settle for what others choose, and go through already-established and secure but generic channels instead of trying to explore and make their way through a new path. He thinks that modern humanity has become complacent, including himself: he knows that he is protected and, as such, doesn’t really fear anything. As such, accidents and freak occurrences tend to fascinate him.
He understands that it’s rather necessary and voices no complaints about it, but sometimes he just feels like being reckless and doing something. But he’s smart enough to know that he can’t change anything, and always abides by the system, because that’s the ‘smart’ thing to do. This frustrates him, and he feels like he’s wasting his own potential, and he thinks that he’ll go through life without ever knowing what he’s truly capable of.
Keiji believes that humans show their true strength in times of hardship, suffering, or trial, which is why, deep inside him, he thinks of this blanket of security as a handicap. He thinks it’s truly remarkable how some people can overcome their weaknesses and rise up to meet whatever challenge, becoming amazing people in the process. But he knows that the thought of exchanging people’s happiness for the kind of world he would like is impossible and selfish of him, so he pushes it out of his mind, slightly guiltily. He never voices these thoughts to anyone, and hides them quite well from people.
Keiji loves unpredictable people, and people with big, wild dreams (probably because he has none) and tends to hang around them. He’s attracted to people are passionate about what they do or love, perhaps because it’s so beyond him to feel that way about ‘ordinary life’. History has always been a favorite subject: important figures of the past that have done drastic things that have changed the world, for good or evil, fascinate him. Thinking of that kind of world-changing power exhilarates him, and it’s maybe the only time he will outwardly show so much excitement. The chance to become a demon channeler was an awe-inspiring opportunity for him, and he hasn’t ever felt this hyper about anything.
History:
Keiji has always lived in the shadow of an older brother who was never born. His parents’ first child was stillborn. As such, they were particularly doting with him. He knows that he shouldn’t get all the things he wants so easily, and it does bother him. He feels like he has an easier time than most of his classmates. He’s unsure if his parents see him as himself or as his older brother come back to life, and is slightly insecure about it, because the thing most important to him is his identity.
When he was twelve, Keiji was witness to a shooting that had occurred in a public square. A woman who had been on the scene had flung herself between her child and the killer and managed to stop him despite getting shot twice. The act was overwhelmingly powerful to Keiji, and for the years to come it was a token that reminded him of humanity’s true strength. The mother’s sheer determination to protect her child regardless of the imminent danger of death had a lasting effect on him and he found himself wondering if all people were capable of such selfless and amazing feats. But later, he realized that he would never know, since he couldn’t just sic an armed killer on everybody to check, and it was unimaginable to hope for such a tragedy to occur again.
He met many other people after that: people who endured hardship but never caved in, and emerged as truly remarkable individuals. He admired these people greatly. But he always felt conflicted, because while he wished there were more of these kinds of people, he didn’t want others to suffer—even though he secretly believes it a worthy exchange.
Keiji has always been able to hear the voices of demons, ever since he was little, but they were no more than faint whispers in the dark. When he grew older and began to realize the significance of these whispers, he knew that there was something unexplained about the world. When Catharsis approached him and his family, his heartbeat had quickened to the point where he thought his heart would burst. He was suddenly faced with the realization that there was a whole other world out there, one bound by no rules, and he could enter it. No, he realized that he had been born with one foot in it all along. He gladly accepted Catharsis’ offer, even though his parents fretted and had refused quite frankly. It wasn’t that he disliked his family or that he was eager to leave it behind, but there was no way he could pass this chance up.
In the Ritual Chamber, he faced true fear for the very first time. He had always had people take care of him, and though he’d realized this and disparaged it, he’d still been reliant on that notion of safety. There in the Chamber, he was alone and bare, with nobody but himself who could help him. The battle against the first summon was not of their bodies, but of their essence: it was his self, his entire being, with all his weaknesses and strengths, that was tested. He’d never really felt afraid before, but he was utterly and absolutely terrified of the creature that appeared before him then. He’d never felt more relieved than afterwards when he realized that he’d survived.
Now he’s intrigued by the abilities granted by Familiars to their channelers and their relations with each other, especially by the power left in their bodies after channeling.
