RPG DW account (if separate): Nope

How can we get in touch with you? (email, DW messaging, other): DW messaging seems straightforward; my Discord is Talifabian with some number attached (will track it down later). Would rather not post my email openly, but I'll message you with it later

Character name: Zirvesi Ankat (formerly Kel Ankat)

One-paragraph (100 words) summary of your character.
Outprocessed Kel. Deprived of the reassuring presence of formation instinct, he's had problems with loneliness and some difficulty relating with people. Whole sections of his memories have been removed as containing “Classified” or "heretical" information including the entirety of his final mission.

NOTE: In the following section, limit your answers to up to 100 words per question.
===

How did your character first learn of the hexarchate?
Child of two Nirai who were, perhaps, more in love with the concept of a child than a particular instance thereof. Ran away from home to join the Kel, rather than a more intellectually stimulating path with the Andan, Rahal, or Nirai. After this his parents were cold, but faintly relieved to have a child who now actually _listened_. Has not been back to his home station since joining the rebellion.

Why did your character join this rebellion?
Harbors significant resentment toward the Kel specifically for obvious reasons. To erase them from existence completely, rather than only in his memories, seems a fitting revenge. If he discovered more information about why exactly he'd been outprocessed, he'd likely end up with a more general disdain for the hexarchate's Doctrine and way of life.

What would make your character consider giving up the cause?
(Note for this and further questions: Tell me things that you're willing to have happen in the game. I may go this far with your character. I will not go further. What I'm asking for is story/character hooks.)
If captured and confined for longer than a few days, his nerve may break of its own accord when isolated from human contact. If the rebellion begins using technologies such as composite wiring or psych-surgery, that would likely cause him to abandon the cause, or even sabotage it.

Name something your character does not want to lose.
His desire for revenge and hope that no one else will ever be forced to have their memories wiped; those feelings continue to burn right now, but how long will that last? When those are gone, what will he have left?

Name something your character would die for.
He might not be a Kel anymore, but they can't quite stop one from being a suicide hawk as easily. Would die for revenge, family, possibly friends, numbers of strangers, or possibly to stop someone else from having their memory wiped.

Name something your character would kill for.
Life is cheap, and he's still better than most when there's killing to be done.

Who is your character's best friend?
As of right now, his dog Yisran, who I envision as a kind of overweight yappy rat-terrier. Ankat consistently carries treats with him, and thus tends to be popular with any other animals he runs across.

Describe your character's perfect partner (romantic or friend or coworker, your choice).
Always likes someone who returns his banter, especially when under an unreasonable degree of stress. His perfect friend (platonic or romantic) is likely someone assertive, vibrant, and knowledgable about the arts.

What is your character's secret dream or desire, the one they've never told anyone?
He'd likely doesn't realize it, but he'd love to travel outside the hexarchate; he's had a taste for foreign and exotic art and goods, but contented himself with the few items allowed for general release by the Andan.

How will your character die?
(NOTE: I will not kill your character unless you pre-arrange it with me, but I may put you in a dangerous situation based on this.)
Good ol' Kel style heroic sacrifice would go down with him perfectly well. A much more tragic end would be to attempt such a sacrifice, but be captured instead.

Does your character have any powers that the hexarchate would consider "exotic" (magical)?
Not inherently, though he retains more knowledge than most of exotic weapons, their handling, and use.

What do you (the player) enjoy most in an RPG?
Haven't played a play-by-post game before, although I've been doing tabletop RPG's for several years now. What I've found I most enjoy is messing around with small interactions that showcase character; the most fun I had in the most recent session of an ongoing campaign was spending fifteen minutes improvving how the party could get through an unlocked door.

You have 500 words to tell me anything else you want me and the other players to know about your character. Do it here.
Since he cannot remember the circumstances leading up to him waking up in Medical without formation instinct, he's unsure why he was actually outprocessed (beyond the vague euphemisms given by Doctrine). He thus harbors doubts as to the justice of his desire for vengeance; did he do something to get thrown out, or can he pin his current life situation entirely on Command? He tends to wear brightly colored clothing, often more formal than casual. Loves to eat seafood of any kind. Any jewelry he wears will be silver in color. He drinks or otherwise indulges in intoxicants sparingly. A friend in Logistics allowed him to keep his calendrical sword, off the books of course. The smell of freshly cleaned floors tends to make him both hungry and sad for reasons he's not entirely sure of. Still posses an encylopedic knowledge of Kel jokes, although they hurt to tell these days.
