Hobbies:
Party, Party, Party || Keziah has found himself on a world with life again, and with whole new ways to indulge his growing reckless streak. Earth has drink, Earth has drugs, and Earth has a night life, and Keziah is eager to indulge in every bit of it that he can.
Knowledge || Keziah has always sought out knowledge, and finding it so accessible on Earth is fascinating. Wikipedia is going to blow his mind. Let loose in a library, he will gladly devour everything he can get his hands on. There is always so much to learn, and Keziah wants to learn it all. Including and especially modern English, so he can actually read all the things he wants to read without assistance, but these are the hurdles we overcome.
Exploring || Now, this mostly manifests as "getting into trouble” and “going places he’s not supposed to be,” but once upon a time, Keziah genuinely loved to explore. His jungle homeworld had many lost ruins, and he loved seeking them out, and he loved visiting other planets and going to their remotest, most interesting places just to find out what was there. He still wants to do that, and intends to find as many ways as he can to explore on Earth.
Virtues:
Curious || Keziah’s nihilism has not dimmed his desire to learn more about the world around him, especially since he’s found himself in a whole new one. He can’t help but ask a million questions, seek out the answers to anything around him, and try to figure out whatever he can. He might as well learn as much as he can, for as long as he’s got to learn it.
Explorative || Keziah still loves seeking out new experiences, though there’s often a reckless edge to it these days. Still, he’s never one to turn down trying something new and if he understood the concept of a “comfort zone” he would reject it entirely. Comfort is stagnation, and he never wants to stagnate, so it is always time to try something new.
Flaws:
Nihilistic || Nothing matters, the world is ********, Chaos is probably going to consume everything, and Keziah is not afraid to share that he thinks so. He and his people managed little victories, but in the end, they succumbed. Earth probably will too. Getting him to give a s**t about things in a serious way is a very difficult challenge, because he has firmly decided that he’s here for a good time and imagining that anyone is here for a long time is ridiculous.
Arrogant || Keziah has seen much, experienced much, and thinks that means he always has the best answer for whatever might be coming. Fundamentally, his experience makes him arrogant—he’s seen it all, so nothing can possibly surprise him, and he’s survived all the things that should have killed him over the years, so nothing can possibly get him now. And he is, also, an a*****e about it. He will gladly talk up how much he knows and what a badass he is without an ounce of hesitation.
