Character Reference Sheet
Kai Kyros
The Ghost on the Driftline
Kai is the ultimate survivor. An orphan who raised himself on the galactic fringe, he learned from a young age that survival meant becoming a ghost—unseen, unheard, and always in motion. His skills are not taught in academies but learned in the shadows: as a card sharp, a con artist, and a master of reading the systems of both machines and people.

A Life Forged in the Shadows
Kai's entire life has been a series of calculated risks. Having taught himself to be invisible to survive, he moves through the galaxy's underbelly with a quiet confidence that masks a deep-seated wariness of connection. His philosophy, shared with his partner Ieoa, is "Stay on the driftline"—a mantra of perpetual motion and self-reliance. He uses personas and false identities not just as tools, but as armor, protecting a core of loyalty and vulnerability he rarely allows anyone to see.
The Player in the Game
Beyond his street-level cons, Kai is a highly-ranked, elite competitive gamer in the Galaxy Tournament. This is not an escape, but another expression of his core talent. The same hyper-awareness and pattern recognition that allow him to dominate in the Holo Gate Network are the skills he uses to survive in the real world. He sees everything as a game with rules to be learned, manipulated, and ultimately, won.
