Barely surviving their childhood, Kairos kept a low cover their entire life while pretending to be a limeblood clown. They lived a life of fear and frequently was on the run from suspicion, only living in the moment and planning their next step completely around survival. They managed to get into mechanics, getting into the business of repairing vehicles whenever they could briefly set up shop. They went eight sweeps before being found out.
Kairos had casually heard rumors of the Fringe Hunter's guild on the more illegal side of Alternia, and hadn't given it too much thought until the day Empire agents knocked on their door and tried to bring them into custody. Panicked, Kairos fought back and fled society. With a homemade glider, they took off into the wasteland towards the rumored territory of The Guild. It's been a sweep since then, and they wouldn't go back to the cities even if they were supposed to.
