Character Profile: Kairo Rayos

Full Name: Kairo Xavier Rayos

Nickname: Kai

Age: 17

Pronouns: He/him

MBTI: ENTP-T

Personality Description: He's really deadpan and sarcastic, and enjoys irony and coincidences a bit too much. He's easily annoyed but slow to show it, cares a lot about the people he loves and couldn't care less about anyone else, and is deeply religious and will happily debate about it with anyone who dares to give him a chance. (He's this world's equivalent of a Christian). He's also incredibly depressed, and will make extremely dark and depressing jokes.

Backstory: The son of an immortal (a descendant of the creator god, Solaios) and the grandson of a Ghostspeaker (a prophet of the minor gods, the Stellai Ghosts), his life has always been controversial. His father and uncle, Levyn and Oriyn Rayos, were banished from Zephan City to the abandoned and dangerous Blanklands as part of a deal they made with the current Ghostspeaker: they would leave and never come back to quell the Ghosts' rebellion, as long as Kai and the rest of his family could remain safe in the city.

Kai has always resented his dad for that, because he'd rather be in prison for being immortal and be left alone than be bullied for it day in and day out. The bullying, name-calling, and muttered wishes for his death eventually caused him to believe that maybe they were right; maybe it would be better if he were dead. If he did die, he would go to the afterlife that all followers of Solaios were heir to on death, and there would be no one that hated him for being immortal there.

But that's the problem - he is immortal, and thus can't die.

His family has since sent him to several different therapists, most of which hated him just as much as every other Stellaist citizen of Zephan City, but the day after his first almost-helpful appointment with a suspiciously encouraging therapist, Kai sees a news headline on TV:

IMMORTAL FOUND DEAD IN BLANKLANDS: CAUSE OF DEATH MURDER

This prompts him to venture into the Blanklands, looking for this murderer with the mysterious power to kill immortals.

Likes: Music, poetry, doodling, soft and dark colors, especially blue

Dislikes/Triggers: The Ghosts/Ghostspeaker, his immortality, talk about his dad

Relationships (By the End of the Story):

Levyn Rayos - Father

Joya Rayos - Mother

Evara Rayos - Sister

Sterling Pierce - Friend

Valentine Lucen - Girlfriend

Theme Song: Eternal Life by Palaye Royale

What is Kai’s homelife like? Is he close with his sister?

Kai likes his family well enough and has a decent home life, but he clashes with his mom occasionally, mostly bc he wants to do things that he knows aren't good for him and she wants him to not.

But he's, other than the immortality, a normal high schooler; he goes to Newland High School during the day, then comes back in the afternoon (he doesn't do any activities bc he's determined he'll make a fool of himself, and no one except Sterling and Evara likes him anyway) and hangs out, sometimes by himself and sometimes with his family.

So yeah, he's pretty close with his sister, who is a year younger than him, because she's one of the two people his age who doesn't hate him and is also immortal. Evi pretends to be annoyed by him, but really they're good friends and love each other a lot. (I mean if everyone hates you ya gotta stick together XP)

Blurb:

On the planet of Zephan, three teenagers live their lives the way they always have.

Rhys Lucen—the son of the world’s ruler, the Ghostspeaker—lives in luxury with his family, including his secret and possibly cursed half-sister, Brynn. But when word gets out that three-year-old Brynn is alive, people start to panic and riot, and Rhys has to run for his and Brynn’s lives, aided by the same Ghosts that his father has the Gift of speaking to…

Sterling Pierce and his sister, Sage, struggle to survive their abusive Mage father’s magic addiction—which he feeds using them as an endless supply. But Sterling has the Gift of using magic as well, so when his father threatens to murder the siblings in a fit of rage, Sterling uses his power to fight back—killing his father, and nearly killing Sage by mistake. Now she needs a magic transfusion bigger than what any hospital on Zephan can provide, and there's only one way to gather more…

Kairo Rayos is descended from a long line of Ghostspeakers—one that ended with his infamous immortal father, Lev, who started the Lunari Alliance to fight the Ghosts’ rebellion against the Creator God, Solaios. Now Lev has been banished to the abandoned Blanklands surrounding Zephan City, and Kairo, thanks to a deal his father struck with the Ghostspeaker, is safe inside—but most Zephnic people don’t take kindly to followers of Solaios, especially immortal ones, and all Kai wants is peace. This kind of peace, however, can only come through the afterlife, and as his family and therapist are always quick to tell him, immortals can’t die. But when proof appears that they can—and have, as an immortal’s dead body was found in the Blanklands, seemingly murdered—Kai sets out to find the killer, and through them, eternal peace…

As Rhys finds himself assigned a seemingly impossible task from the Ghosts—killing every living immortal—and Sterling teams up with him to collect the immortals’ magic for Sage, they discover that things are not what they seem on Zephan, and that they're included in a prophecy called The End of Immortality. The question is whether or not the prophecy is true, let alone morally right—and will they find the supposed ‘chosen one’, who happens to be trying to get himself killed?
