Chejop Kejak

Description

Chejop is an old man, and has been for centuries. But his frail appearance has increased over the past hundred years, and all are aware he's approaching the end of his life.

Role

Main

• Since the beginning of the Gunstar, Chejop has shaped everything toward the Gunstar returning to the Spiral. For millenia, he has been in charge of pretty much every aspect of Sidereal activities.
• But as his age started to become apparent, he began calcifying plans to continue his goals after his death, working with Mars, Saber, and Hu Dai Liang, as well as the Sidereals. Ironically, this overt movement caused several Sidereals to react in a way he did not expect, forming a counter-faction to change the ultimate goal of the Gunstar. In his effort to keep things stable after he died, he has irrevocably split the Deliberative into factions.
• His frustration is visible, as it becomes difficult to even maintain the usual Sidereal actions with factions subtly sabotaging each others' projects and careers.

Other Activities

• Likely to die just to old age at some point in the second arc, causing quite even more of a shake-up between the factions.

Relationships

General

• Abyssals - Likely not to see much of these. But nothing but trouble.
• Alchemicals - Naive, foolish radicals. And it seems they've infected the youth among the Sidereals with their ideals. Annoying.
• Dragon-Blooded - Not worth the consideration.
• Lunars - Good police force. Shouldn't be in politics, that's Solar territory, with the advice of Sidereals.
• Sidereals - The ones keeping Autochthonia's lights on.
• Solars - The rightful leaders. Naivete is a common trait among the young, though, it should be weeded out before it causes problems.

Specific Individuals

• Behemoth - Savage, the very embodiment of the problem with Lunars. But a useful tool in their protection, at least he knows his place.
• Lilith - A dangerous new element, likely to doom the Gunstar to ruin.
• Narikon - Forceful commander who will take the Gunstar back to the Spiral, as it should be. Thankfully, he has ways to increase his lifespan. Chejop doesn't fear his or Narikon's death, of course, he fears the chaos that will follow it.

Other Notes: Chejop Kejak possesses the complete Backing of both the Sidereal Bronze Faction and the Forbidding Manse of Ivy; Connections throughout the Bureau of Destiny (5), the Immaculate Order (5) and the Scarlet Dynasty (3); and Allies within all these organizations. His ability to manage such political power has given him his Reputation as the supreme organization man.

Kejak can inflict an astrological curse on whomever he touches with his Artifact wrackstaff. He selects one Ability, and the curse raises the victim’s target number with that Ability by one. The curse afflicts the person touching the staff who has the lower Essence.

Kejak also wears Artifact starmetal hearthstone bracers and an Artifact starmetal hearthstone amulet. He carries three hearth-stones, the product of his Celestial Manse in Yu-Shan and two Manses he maintains on the Blessed Isle: a jewel of the celestial mandarin in the amulet, a gemstone of surface thoughts in the right bracer and a dream-stone set in the wrackstaff.
