Kehlysch's page

Kehlysch is very tight-lipped about his past. The truth is he does not know. He was found about 15 years ago by Magrenne ("Old Mag"), a fishwife, who assumed he was an orphan and decided to take him in. Whenever she asked him anything about his family and past, "Kehlysch" was his response, so she continued to call him that as he grew.

Kehlysch loves his adoptive mother, but he has always known that he was not truly hers, and is keenly aware of his "differences." He tries to blend in, and be as ordinary as possible, only to draw people's attention by his disturbing and alien presence. He also has an overabundance of curiosity about things unfamiliar, which prompts him to pester perceived experts with questions, often to their annoyance.

He feels a constant draw to water, and most especially the sea. He is never happier than when he is submerged in its depths, but is disturbed by the knowledge that this happiness is not "normal."

He seeks answers to his mysterious past. Bidding his mother goodbye, he has set out to find out his origins. Being impoverished and something of an outcast, even among the lower class, Kelysch's options are slim. He cannot bear to be far from the sea, so traveling by ship seems the proper way to set forth. However, none of the respectable merchants will take him on as crew; claiming that he has an ill-omened air about him.
