🌟 Kaelen Rhys
Age: 16 (but over 100 years old according to the elven traditions)
Pronouns: They/Them
Species: Half-Human, Half-Ætherborn
Occupation: Student at a Cross-Realm Academy & Unofficial Rift Fixer


Background:
Kaelen was born just months after the first Veil breach. Their mother, Dr. Alia Rhys, was a leading physicist involved in early Veil research. During a containment failure, Alia vanished for 72 hours — and returned pregnant with Kaelen. Conspiracy theories still swirl about what happened in those lost hours, but Kaelen’s life has always been politicized, and… weird.

They attend Aetherbridge Academy, a top-tier school for magically gifted youth and tech-savants. They're part of the inaugural Convergence Class — students chosen for their mixed magical and technological aptitude. But Kaelen isn’t just studying the theory of the Veil; they can feel it. Hear it. Sometimes, speak to it..

Fairy Form:


Abilities:
Can "hear" disturbances in the Veil — sometimes before they even happen

Personality:
Clever but guarded — years of being studied have made them wary of authority

Quietly rebellious — doesn't seek attention, but breaks rules when something feels wrong

Empathetic — often sticks up for other magical outcasts and Veil-affected students

Lonely — secretly feels like they don’t belong in either world, though they’d never admit it
