Name: Keegan nó Orchis
Age: 20
Race: d'Angeline/Alban
Gender: Male
Appearance: Keegan has short, but somewhat shaggy chestnut hair and golden brown eyes. He stands just over 6' and has a developed if not overly muscled figure. He has a vibrant air about him and a constant smile that spreads to everyone who sees him.
History: Keegan's mother, Noel, was an adept at Orchis. After she had made her marque, she decided to stay at Orchis, but wanted a child. The opportunity presented itself in the form of an Alban trader named Angus who contracted her. Noel was very honest with him and told him she would like him to father her child. He agreed, happy with the thought of someone with his spirit and her laugh joining the world.
Keegan was born nine months later and was raised in Orchis. He never met his father, but his mother was honest about how the circumstances that brought Keegan into her life. Keegan, true to his mother's line, was a happy child who could always bring a smile to even the most sullen face. His father's blood runs deep though, and Keegan has a fiery love of life and everything in it.
Keegan never wanted to be anything but an adept and was dedicated at the age of ten. As he grew, Keegan developed a clear, sweet singing voice that many thought would lead him to a life at Eglantine. Keegan knew better though, he knew Orchis would always be his home. He has a quick mind that pleased all of his teachers. He especially loved history lessons and still spends a good portion of his free time reading as much about history as possible. Since his debut at 16, Keegan has had a constant, happy stream of patrons. He finished his marque just after he turned 19, and only two months later his mother fell ill and passed on. Though he misses her, he remembers her with smiles and joy.
Update
What began as a routine House mission, led Nyx no’ Cereus to meet Keegan and there was a spark between the two. The spark has grown to the fires of love and they are in each other’s company as much as possible. Though their different status as adepts leads sometimes to strain, for while Keegan has made his marque and is free Nyx has only yet begun hers and still lives under the rules of her House in regards to freedoms with her body. Keegan loves Nyx though and she is the joy in his life, making him willing to wait for her to have her freedom as well.
