Personality
Kero is deeply distrustful of anything that moves. He is a rather quiet person, but a gentleman all the same. He is rather nondescript; the usual black hair, the usual height, and not a very impressive build. The only thing that may set him apart, visually, are his eyes. One seems slightly bluer than the other. And once a person notices this, which happens very rarely, the things that set him apart from the average person become rapidly apparent. Whatâs with all the belts and chains? Why does he never seem to make a sound when he walks? How come nothing I do or say seems to have any effect on him? Wait, where did he come from anyway? Heâs not from around here. Nobody seems to notice him! It all kinda snowballs from there, until whomever happens to be experiencing all of these thoughts decides to either confront him or back away slowly.
His most dominant trait is his self-consciousness. Kero hates to be touched, stared at, pointed at, negative comments on his appearance, other peopleâs body heat, and anything else that involves physical human contact. However, chief among these is his unwillingness to be exposed. As in, naked in front of others. Heck, being naked at all freaks him out. Kero wonât even take off his gloves. If he did take off all of those layers of clothing, you would see that Kero is a scarred person, with some kind of serious abuse that happened in his past written all over him.
And yet, if you are apart of the âin crowdâ Kero wonât give a fig if you touch him. In fact, he becomes an attention-seeking puppy that loves to snuggle and fiddle with peopleâs fingers/hair. If youâre with the âin crowdâ and alone with him, that is. There is no middle ground. Either Kero snaps at your touch or his affection for you leaks through his every movement. So far, the only person in the âin crowdâ is his little sister.
A few negative sides to his enthusiasm for those Kero cares about is his over-protectiveness and the brutality of his revenge if betrayed. For example, Kero refuses to allow his younger sister any kind of romantic contact with boys. In fact, he doesnât even let her close to people in general. When he was 7, Keroâs mother refused to protect him from a gang of thugs, and he received lasting marks from that encounter. In return, Kero refused to acknowledge her. This led to the already-unbalanced womanâs eventual suicide. And Kero didnât care one bit.
History
Kero has let a turbulent life, to say the least. I will spare you the details, and instead give you the summary.
Kero grew up without a father, what happened to him, his mother would never say. Keroâs mother was mentally troubled, and was prone to hallucinations and mood swings. She may have been insane, but she was a rich insane woman, and remarried early in his life. (here, whomever plays his little sister can decided which father she came from) But this man was horrible. He verbally abused his wife, and when she wasnât looking turned his eyes to the children. He, to put it lightly, is the true cause to all of Keroâs scars and his unwillingness to touch people. Half of Keroâs scars were meant for his sister.
A year after his mother killed herself, Keroâs step-father squandered the family wealth to the point where Kero and his sister had to work till they bled to provide for the man, who claimed all of their earnings for himself. But, one day, a gang of Riders attacked their village, which had previously been one of the last large human communities. There were almost no survivors, and those that lived owed their lives to one man; Keroâs father, who happened to be a Vampire Hunter.
Keroâs father was a strict, but kind man. His worst trait was his sexism, and as a result only Kero was trained to be a Vampire Hunter. But that didnât stop his sister from picking up a few tricks. At the age of 18, Keroâs formal training ended and he left his father to gain the only thing he really needed; experience.
(whomever plays his sister can choose if she went with him or stayed with their dad; if she stayed with their dad you can pick if something happened to him or if she and Kero met up again. otherwise, they havenât seen each other in 4 years and can meet up again sometime in the roleplay)

The reason he has âall those belts and chainsâ is because they all hold some kind of hidden item. The the top belt around his leg: vials of Holy water
The bottom belt around his leg: powdered garlic
The belts around his arm: hard-packed âbeadsâ of powdered vervain that break open when thrown with enough force
The middle belt around hsi arm: as well as containing vervain, these âbeadsâ also contain a combustible powder
The chains are very effectively used in combat, and he has a sword, Verbena which he loves very much.
