-BACKSTORY-

Keim Rider was a natural born, genuine prodigy. Very early in infancy he displayed subtle signs of autism. Aversion to eye contact, a lack of emotion on his face. He received an official diagnosis only a couple years old, during a time in which mental illness was still heavily stigmatized. Thankfully, he was born to a very loving family who adored him just the way he was. As it turned out, his diagnosis wouldn’t hold him back at all. He was high-functioning, and although he didn’t make many friends in school or enjoy socializing in general, he excelled in every class other than art and rocketed to the top of the honor roll. He learned to play the piano in less than a year, and after taking several standardized IQ tests, was found to have an IQ slightly higher than Albert Einstein’s supposed IQ*. Paired with a nearly eidetic memory, Keim is a walking library.

The one person who understood him better than anyone else, and notably helped him develop his socialization skills, was his little sister Maya, born a little over a year after he was. Thanks to her and his loving, supportive parents, he was on track to likely some day become a leading scientist in physics or perhaps biochemistry. Unfortunately, tragedy struck his family when he was twelve years old. No dramatic story to tell, no theatre–A simple fire burned his family home to the ground, with his family within. He desperately tried to pull his little sister to safety, which left him with deep burns that left him scarred to this day, but sadly, he was unsuccessful.

After this incident, Keim changed for the worse. Psychologists diagnosed him with antisocial personality disorder. He developed sociopathic tendencies and began to feel very little empathy for other people, and locking away his own emotions became second nature to him–to the point that he doesn’t seem to have any. He was not born this way, so it is still possible for him to form attachments and feel things for others, but it is far more difficult than it is for most.

He went to live with his extended family, whom he had very little attachment to. They did not show him nearly as much support, but he was not treated badly. He graduated highschool several years earlier than his peers, and received a community college diploma in physics. However, the scars that were left upon him, both mentally and physically, could not be helped by any amount of therapy. He turned eventually to the military world, and enlisted himself into a private military company, where he hoped to use his brilliant mind for strategy and tactics.

He had finished all of their basic training programs, but had not been deployed anywhere besides a couple of small security contracts before the seven hour war began. For years, he lay in wait, slowly formulating intricate plans in his mind, trying to come up with the smartest ways to thwart the combine and allow humanity to thrive. Only recently has he become active in those endeavors, starting to finally put those plans to action.

Finally. Progress. Advancement. I am moving forwards. Things have been set in motion, after all this time. It wont be long now.

"No. More than a turtle. You gave me a reason to remember things I'd long forgotten how to feel." All of these feelings...Coming back to me. I had forgotten what it felt like. To love.

'The Handyman'. He gets the job done.

*A small note regarding his IQ (and IQ in general): Experts have said for ages that IQ isn't actually a great indicator of all things 'intelligence', it's a measure of very specific parts of cognitive abilities--spacial and pattern recognition for example. Einstein's IQ is estimated to be between 160-180. One in 11,000 people score an IQ of 160, and one in 3.5 million score 180, so shockingly enough, Einstein's IQ wasn't quite as uncommon as people might think. In real life, we currently have people with as high as 230 IQ.



-RELATIONSHIPS-

LOVES ADMIRES RESPECTS BEST FRIEND FRIEND ACQUAINTANCE DISTRUSTS DISLIKES HATES DECEASED

GUSTAVO
DECEASED
“You and I might be similar after all.”
Gustavo and Keim share some very similar worldviews, and Keim has learned a fair bit about socialising by watching Gus’s interactions. Keim holds some care for the man, which is rare on its own, and some amount of trust, which is rarer still. None the less, he has not developed a real emotional connection to the man as of yet–such might be a difficult thing to achieve between two sociopathic people.
CLAIRE LAVOIE
BEST FRIEND

Claire is one of the very few people that Keim may genuinely consider a ‘friend’, though they’ve had very little contact in very recent days. Keim's closest friend. She has never judged him for his social struggles, and has in fact taken the time to explain them to others. She has taught him a lot, and given him much needed advice, on a wide variety of topics. Though he may not express it outwardly, he appreciates the kindness. In addition, she’s helped him in a myriad of smaller ways that have aided him in his efforts. Nothing direct, but she’s been there when he needs a hot meal or a piece of advice.

Thank you.
CLARIA
FRIEND
His worries about her were not unfounded, as it turned out. The two are still friends, but more distant after recent events.
You're not who you used to be. I hope you find your way back.

WAI AKONI
LOVES

"Just don't like to talk much? I can relate."
Wai is an anomaly. During a time that Keim was more focused on progressing his goals than having any intention of making a friend, he came across a strangely quiet woman that barely spoke English. Somehow, despite his difficulty reading body language and social cues, and her lack of speech, they clicked on a deep level. It has now passed the point of simple friendship--they've both expressed deep care for each other, and it's slowly but surely become something more. She is the first person he has ever felt any sort of romantic feelings for--and they don't even speak the same language.

"I...think I love you, too."
'RASTAMAN' IDRIS
ACQUAINTANCE
A social man, in a way that Keim admires, and in part wishes he could be. Idris doesn't judge him for his oddities, and went out of his way recently to make sure he was feeling alright. They haven't spoken much, but Keim's growing fond of him. A potential future friend or ally.
ASHLEY VALARA
ACQUAINTANCE
Bit of an oddball. Keim's not sure why she's so friendly to him or eager to get to know him, but he finds her endearing. Interested in speaking with her more and learning about her.
AGATHA DOE
FRIEND
"Why me?"
Keim has very little idea why Agatha is so kind to him, but he's grown very comfortable around her, and is one of the few people he actually enjoys socializing with. He knows there's more to her than she lets on, which has sparked his curiosity. There's something there worth pursuing further.
MIKHAIL
ACQUAINTANCE
Seems like one of the few intelligent people back in the slums, and they share some similar stances and views. But Keim's not yet sure that he can actually trust him. There may be an alliance there worth pursuing once they're done feeling each other out.
LAYLA ADKINS
ADMIRES

Keim still doesn't know Adkins very well on a personal level, but he's had more interactions with her, and he finds her to be a rather amusing person. He's seen her high on a few occasions, and she seems silly. Still a seemingly compassionate person. Still, he's been given a reason to be wary of her recently...
THE CHIP
?̵͔̲͚̞͚̼̺̗̮͍̤͍͕͋̎͂͆̈̌͌̎̃ͅ?̴̧̧̡̛̺̹̩̱̱̯͓̃̒̐̽̋?̴̧̢͍̼̃̾
FIREANT
ACQUAINTANCE

A contact. An interesting one. There may be potential for an intriguing partnership here.
ELEANOR
ACQUAINTANCE
Keim sees her as a decent doctor, and a very kindhearted soul. A naive sort of kindness that's out of place in this new world. Yet somehow she's hung onto that spark, something Keim can only admire at a distance. Keim's finding her to be reliable, and beginning to consider her a friend, though they don't often have times to interact much. Socializing with her's not so bad, and she's shown complete acceptance of his oddities.

I need to be wary of you.
CHARLOTTE MCMADISON
ACQUAINTANCE
"It seems like you have a guardian angel."
Keim doesn't know her very well, but she's clearly a very empathetic individual, and she has a special place in his best friend Claire's heart.

I've lost too much. I wont let her lose you.
STEPHANIE ROBERTS
They've began to grow quite close. Stephanie has entrusted Keim with secrets and feelings. He's began to consider her one of his good friends, and he's grown to trust her.

You're not as unstable as you think.
VANESSA LEE
"Possibly the only person more socially inept than me." He does find her rather amusing, though.
TELLER OF TALES
These two have only recently met, but despite that they've formed a bond, a strong kinship. Keim trusts them deeply and is forming a sort of brotherly love towards them. He finds them to be exceptionally wise and understanding. They will probably be very close allies moving forwards.
You've given me your trust, and an experience perhaps none else have had. Thank you.
MIKE
Mike, like Wai, was an anomaly that Keim was not expecting. Keim sees him as naive--but in the best of ways. He holds a certain innocent demeanor about him, and despite the harsh reality they face, he's always doing his best to be kind to those around him. Mike has rubbed off on Keim bit by bit, grounding him a bit more morally, and is a real example of how kindness can pay off. Keim has taken him under his wing and hopes to protect him as best he can.

A guiding star.
CIVIL PROTECTION
Cowards. All of you. I understand it, most of you simply want to survive in this world. But some of you take your power and abuse it beyond measure. Some of you take this position simply to enact your cruelest desires. You are cowards for not standing against the Combine, and you are cowards for hiding behind a mask while you abuse your fellow men and women. A few of you have some humanity left in you. The rest...Cowardice.
VORTIGAUNTS
Your history is something that truly fills me with sorrow. You do not deserve this fate. Your knowledge, your wisdom, they inspire me. Your kind have glimpsed into the vast unknown that I wish to experience for myself. Most of you are highly intelligent, compassionate, and trustworthy. I will always be a friend to your people.

You've become very close allies recently--a couple of you in particular. I'd risk my life for you.
THE RESISTANCE
You are not resistance. You are even bigger cowards than the masked ones. The resistance of old is gone. All that remains is fools, zealots and faithless. You kill the innocent, you rob your fellow people, and you do naught but bring chaos down upon us all. There is no forethought, no intelligence, only impulse and capricious imbecility.

I will be better.
