Keir

Personality: Stoic and severe, polite yet distant. That’s the best way to summarize Keir to most citizens of Iris Falls. With a perpetually dour expression and deadpan voice, Keir can definitely come across as a rather intimidating presence, or at the very least an uncomfortable one.

Nothing to worry about, though! That’s just all from a lack of sleep! Keir works the late night hours, tirelessly...well, tiredly fighting back any dangerous beast that might wander too close to where civilians live. Unfortunately for him, he's also a dedicated citizen, and continues to attend all the town meetings and events despite them being totally geared towards those who don't have a nocturnal schedule. 

Keir cares deeply for the well-being of others, and if you can look past that dark visage, you’d find a bleeding heart that can’t leave a single person behind. Sure he’s not a great talker, but that just means he can lend a listening ear to anyone who needs to vent to the guy staring off into space and wobbli– oh, he’s not actually listening. He’s falling asleep. 

One of Keir's favorite things to do is cook. While he's usually too tired to do so, there are some days he'll try out new recipes as the highlight to his otherwise monotonous and exhausting days. People who are comfortable enough with bothering Iris Fall’s own home cook guard can go ask for a free meal or two! Or six! Turns out he’s really bad at saying no.

History: Keir’s father was a guard, and his father before that, and his father before that, and so on and so forth. There was no particular interest or dream in Keir to become a guard as well, but as someone who always went with the flow, especially of what his parents wanted, Keir trained and followed in the footsteps of his father. 

Keir was a working guard in Cyan City before accepting transfer to the small backwoods town of Iris Falls. Very predictably so, when it came to the needs of such a small place, Keir was one who couldn’t say no to a helping hand. Saying goodbye wasn’t very hard, especially since he wasn’t particularly close with any of his fellow guards, and his parents had passed away from unfortunate, unforeseen circumstances.

Anything else to do with Keir’s life before Iris Falls is pretty much unknown. While it isn’t a secret, Keir doesn’t bother to talk about it on his own, and rarely anyone ever asks. With the fast paced life out in the city the way it is, it only makes sense that there wouldn’t be anyone to really notice or care about his absence.
