Keyren specialises in the study, evaluation and management of hereditary conditions, genetic disorders and mutations. He strives to find possible treatment of the symptoms of diseases and conditions with no need to counter them completely, as he finds genetic anomalies rather interesting as long as they don't pose any immediate danger to the individual, or take a big toll on their every day life.
Spending most of his life trying to counter the physical effects of his conditions which deemed his appearance unique on it's own, Keyren got used to the abnormal, and accepted it fully. He doesn't have the social skill in order to counsel and deal with patients himself, but he has undeniably offered a lot to the scientific community by perfecting his father's research, as well as conducting his own. He managed to cure -to some extent initially- the symptoms of albinism permanently, which was his most recognised contribution to the field, he made a name of himself. After his breakthrough was announced, he became rather known in the scientific community, and his research continued, even though the specific one was postponed for later on.
➳ Trial Skill(s) :
"Hm so it probably was...": Due to his knowledge of biology and anatomy, Keyren can loosely judge whether or not an external wound, an injury with external signs (and maybe an internal if he was given the chance and ability to investigate) would be lethal or not, as well as being able to recognise basic biological signs that show the cause of death, such as drowning, poison (very vaguely categorise it according to the symptoms), blood-loss etc. However he's no forensic, so it's as accurate as it can be with his skill and experience.
"Why so repelled?": Having such a harsh view on life isn't for those with a weak stomach. Keyren is unfazed by gore and gruesome scenes, so he would have no trouble viewing or even investigating a dead body, no matter the state it was in, without leaving any parts and details unchecked. That said he doesn't want to stain his clothes, so he might take a moment to equip himself with something more comfortable.
"Woha, I think i found a ring stuck between their vocal chords. It's a bit tiring to try and remove it though."
➳ Trial Weakness(es) :
"Buuuuut...": As mentioned in the personality section, Keyren doesn't appreciate being forced to do things against his will, and thus, if a situation doesn't pique his interest, he prefers not bothering with it. Unless there is a reason for which he's needed, or the trial/case is intriguing he will not pay particular mind, nor participate actively in the debates. He will not bother the rest or play around, but there is a chance he will not even pay attention to what is going on.
"It's not that I don't care!.....Ok...maybe I don't haha~"
"Who cares about death?": Exactly because he doesn't let himself be swayed by his emotions, some times he lacks sympathy and understanding of the others' situation, and might make comments that people could receive as disrespectful or find upsetting. His lack of tact when talking about the corpses or bluntness, while not ill-intended, could just cause conflicts. Should that happen, he will probably apologise and withdraw, not offering any further insight unless asked. And even then, he might puff his cheeks and look away.
"Well, sadly, I was unable to tell if the victim was conscious or not, because you see, their head was completely destroyed. I think I found an eyeball about a meter away...."

{| ENTP-A || True Neutral |}
{+| Adaptable || Amiable || Clear-Headed || Confident || Humorous || Seemingly Ebullient || Objective || Logical || Perceptive |+}

Keyren's life goal is one: To have fun. He does what he wants to do, and avoids doing what he doesn't want to. At the same time, he takes no interest or enjoyment in being a hindrance or causing troubles to others, so he prefers to stay on the neutral as an outsider to any problems that might arise. External factors barely ever cloud his judgement or affect his emotional state, and even internally, emotions don't affect him enough to become prejudiced or lose his objective thinking.
As a scientist he learnt to rely on logic, believe in nature, and consider any beliefs other than proved scientific theories childish, over-sentimental, and above all a form of escapism. He believes only in what he can see and prove, or what he can suspect based on even the slightest of evidence. Because of this, he might sound cynical and rather provoking when it comes to beliefs, even if his intention isn't to make fun or offend anybody. However he isn't narrow-minded, and if you provide evidence about your theories he will gladly reconsider. At the same time, if a theory is simply ridiculous, or a person is lighthearted, he might just go with the flow and play around with the individual. After all, if he sees that the environment isn't particularly accepting of his behaviour, he decides to act accordingly - as in order to have fun it's usually better to remain liked and avoid coming to a clash with others- and he decides to act as if he agrees on certain topics, as long as they don't offend him or clash extremely with what he considers correct.
He has a wide sense of humour, to the point where he present jokes as truths, no matter how ridiculous. Even so, on the long run he will remain set on his beliefs and ideas, and he is not afraid to support himself if needed - he just loosely tries to stay out of trouble, and maybe mess around if he deems it more worthy that coming to a disagreement. His excited and friendly attitude make for a rather pleasant company for more casual conversation, but his knowledge and wondering nature also deems him suitable for more serious ones, as he can go for hours talking if a subject intrigues him. He enjoys conversing, and initiates them a lot on his own, unless he finds an individual boring or uninteresting. This isn't the image he presents at first glance. You might see a vivacious child with the naivety of a youngster, but that isn't necessarily the case.
If he's not reading, napping or socialising, you might just see him stay idle somewhere comfortable, quietly writing on a notebook or talking to his pet bunny. Should you approach him during those moments of scepticism, you'll find yourself listening to his thoughts and doubts, and you will be required to participate in it. He questions everything besides nature itself, even though he believes in little other than that. Should you ask for his opinion, make sure you request his honesty, or make sure to keep your wording as specific as possible. Should you do so, you should be ready to hear to some rather harsh views and opinions coming from his mouth. As he believes in the power of nature, he disregards emotions and human morality as lacking compared to instinct and genes, and that is one of the reasons he is rather accepting of death and violence, as life is all about "the survival of the fittest". He adopts the same philosophy about his work and life, and that might be unsettling at times, but in the end his intentions aren't ill towards any man. That said, he might simply humour you if you don't request honesty, or he just tell you what you want to hear, depending on what allows him to stay as impartial as possible.
Doing things at his own pace and not being all that focused when his work is not involved, makes him seem both lazy and slow, and he is rather forgetful about anything that's not on his top list of concerns. That might also include basic needs such as drinking water or eating, and some times he even procrastinates on satisfying them with a quick (or not so quick) nap. When said list is set on the table though, he doesn't waste time to deal with it with zeal and interest, as if he's channelling all his focus on the subject. He won't get distracted by outside or inside stimulus, which is pretty much the opposite of his usual behaviour. This is not the only polar part of his demeanour, but it's more than rare that anyone has happened to see him in a bad mood, a fact which is rather bizarre on it's own.

➳ Spoken Languages :
These are the languages he can communicate in without hindrance.
Danish - Native
German - Native
English - Expert
>The speakers of the Scandinavian languages usually can read each other's text and understand speech with minimum training. Norwegian and Danish are mutually intelligible, with the primary differences being in pronunciation and in the sound system as a whole. He will be able to vaguely communicate and read, even though he barely has any training. To a similar but smaller extent, same goes with Swedish
These next languages include the ones he tried learning because of the relevance they have to scientific terminology, and besides that out of personal interest. It doesn't include much more than relevant vocabulary, as well as some every day words and phrases. By no means should the latter be considered actual "spoken languages".

➳ Public Profile :
If one tried to explore his biography , they would be rather disappointed at the lack of information regarding his early life, as if there were nothing but scripted signs of his existence beforehand, even upon a thorough background check. That said, Keyren made his debut in the field at a rather young age nonetheless. The male claims that "There is nothing found, simply because there was nothing to find. I could talk about my childhood but my memories at 7 years are no different from those at 17, with both being equally mundane."
Keyren Rile (formerly Riber?) was born on the 29th of June, xxxx, in Ribe of Denmark, as the son of Einar Riber and a mother of unknown origin. Einar Riber is a geneticist with years of experience, but also a man who pursues privacy to the extreme. For that reason, no details about his personal life, or his son's life have been disclosed during the years he was active. It is said that his son's birth was what pushed Einar to further specialize his research in hereditary conditions, -and according to rumours- , some form of hormonal disorder, a fact that has only been deducted from taking a more thorough look through Einars' work. Keyren also avoided any comments on the subject when inquired. Even during his later childhood, public sightings were little to non existent, as the male never attended public school. Instead he received tutoring and remained "home-schooled" throughout the whole course of education, what is said to be a decision of his over-protective father. The boy called the laboratories his home, and spent most of his life in them, which is one of the reasons so little is known about him. At some point, Einar retired due to falling ill, which is when Keyren claims to have picked up his fathers research. Vague or little mentions of his name started appearing on scientific articles and magazines around the males 15 years, until the age of 17, when he successfully activated the production of melanin in a bunny suffering from amelanism, even if it was only partial.
Even though albinism isn't life-threatening, a cure hadn't been found until the day, and the test subject didn't show any negative symptoms due to the treatment, so the male made his name known across the globe. While he never got into continuous and direct contact with bigger research centres and scientists, he travelled around the world to attend meetings and present his work, deemed the youngest geneticist to have made a breakthrough in the field. The bunny he named Posta became something like a mascot for him, as after the day of his debut in the field he hasn't been seen in a single photograph without it. Upon asked he replied "He is a reminder, of a sort...but primarily a friend. Even if it sounds rather insincere coming from the mouth of a scientists towards a former test subject. In a way though, we are both in this together."
It wasn't surprising that the academy wouldn't let such an individual "go to waste", and Keyren was called to attend. With little initiative and interest, it wasn't certain that he was planning to accept the invitation until the last moment, when he decided to give it a try. Not lacking excitement though, he left Denmark to embrace death and despair.

➳ Likes :
✔ Bunnies || Bunnies are soft, small and rather quiet. Plus, Posta is a bunny, and he loves Posta
✔ Monkeys || They're intelligent, and very close to humans. In a way they're very fun to study and probably interact with, even if he has never done so himself.
✔ Rodents || Questionable for someone who appreciates hygiene, but at the same time they are small, soft, and quiet. Just like bunnies, they're a mix he appreciates. Also the fact that he saw them a lot during his life.
✔ People with unusual traits || The abnormal is interesting
✔ Reading || While being only natural that an individual of the science field would need to study a lot, Keyren is rather fond of reading
✔ Thick clothes/Many cloth layers
✔ Sugar || Being a sweet tooth, he could even eat sugar on it's own.....Maybe he does that....just maybe. He prefers strong flavours over bland ones, and sweets are easier to find than spices.
✔ Pasta || Probably the only "bland" food he enjoys eating. Maybe it's the texture, maybe the variety of dressings.
✔ Milk || He chugs milk like water, actually even more than that. He enjoys the flavour and he's practically addicted to it by now
✔ Travelling || He never did it until he finally stepped on the spotlight, but when he started leaving his country he was excited for everything he got to see and experience. Trains and boats are his favorite means of transport.
✔ Gems/Jewels || He finds them mesmerising, and really appreciates their value.
✔ Gambling || While he hasn't done that a lot, and he never gambled with cash before, he loves card games and games with dice, even if it's not even close to the point of addiction.
➳ Dislikes :
✘ Felines || Mainly cats, the meowing peeves him, just like the general attitude of cats. Or so he says
✘ Cold || He hates it when his hands are cold, and his hands get easily cold. He has trouble sleeping
✘ Metal music || Too noisy, thrashing, harmful for the hearing, and extremely lacking aesthetic. Take your edge somewhere else.
✘ Physical Strain || He hates labour, just like he hates feeling tired and sweat. Any heavy chore, forced long distance walks, anything that requires more energy than to walk up and down a 5 store building are a huge no,
even though sometimes it cannot be helped
✘ Being woken up || The sweet feeling of waking up fully content and satisfied of sleep is unable to be replaced.
✘ Lack of hygiene || Spending most of his life in laboratories and areas of standard hygiene principles he is used to spotless environments where health care and neatness is as important as electricity,
it's no wonder that the lack of it upsets him.

Posta || His bunny. Yes it's alive. Keyren doesn't allow him close to people, and he won't hesitate to walk away if anyone tries to touch him.
Small notepad and pen || For anything he might want to note down.
Pack of latex gloves and surgical mask || He's too used to carrying those around, don't question it.
A woman's photo || The picture itself is torn, and the woman doesn't look over her 30s. There's something written in Danish on the back.
Dried pineapple bag || Treats for Posta, that he consumes as well when he's hungry.
Round Glasses || He rarely wears them in public, but they're there

➳ Role-play Sample :
The room was rather dimly lit, not because it was lacking light source, but because the only lamp was positioned right next to the chair in the very back of the room. And on the armchair, the figure was seated comfortably, knees close to the chest, and the book rested of them. Keyren ignored, -willingly or not-, whoever it was that had walked in the room, the only sound that of the page flipping. For the first few seconds that is. At the sound of footsteps, the bunny that was also comfortably resting on the corner of the chair jerked it's head and twitched it's ears towards the person. Keyren took his time to close the book, look at the cover for a few seconds, and leave it on the coffee table. He turned to the individual with a soft smile and a tilt of his head, crossing his legs on the chair. Unfortunately for the other, it was one of those moments.
"Hmmm..." dragging the thoughtful exhale for a couple more seconds he glanced down and away, the back at the figure. "Isn't it funny how differently society has made us perceive instinct? Mannerisms you don't pay attention to, actions that you consider part of "social graces", a system that formalises human behaviour just as much as laws do..." His almost serious expression -with a smile ever so unfitting to his rather formal wording- broke from a short giggle and a brighter smile "Of course I'm no expert on behaviourism, i just find it amusing that so many actions which could be considered hostile or aggressive are deemed "rude" due to etiquette."
He finally stood up, patting the bunny which was now in his arms before placing it in the free space of his infinity scarf, and took steps towards the other. "For example" he started as he continued walking, coming closer and closer to the point where one would say he invaded their personal bubble, stopping centimetres before body contact. "Simply coming this close would be enough to make you uncomfortable, given that you aren't really used to me heh. At least that's the case for most people." At that he hoped a couple of steps back, his fingers twined behind his back, and a playful laugh echoed in the room as he leaned his torso to the front, observing the other's reaction.
