Backstory:
Keshi was born and raised in Rone, a town seemingly cut off from the rest of the world since it's completely surrounded by mountains. Unlike the outside world that believes Rone not to even exist, Keshi grew up with the knowledge in Rone that there was an "outside world". Unlike everyone else living in Rone, however, Keshi wanted to leave (as his mother had done when he was only eight). His childhood friend, who became his girlfriend not too long ago, wanted to leave with him but couldn't. Keshi's dad is a farmer, mainly producing fruit, so most of the fruit Keshi sells comes from his own farm (some come from his neighbors).

Keshi always sees the best in people, and mistakes are easily forgiven and forgotten to him. Because he grew up in such a close-knit community with such little violence or problems, his understanding of the world is much different than everyone else's...

Backstory:
Zev grew up in Inochi, a city occupied mainly by Humans and Ryoka, and a city with a terrible reputation as being "dangerous". His family was pretty poor - his mother didn't work, and though his father had a job working at a general store, most of his income came from selling drugs and was then spent on alcohol. Zev hardly attented school, and when he turned nine became an official member of a Ryoka named Voden's gang, called Kreite. Zev frequently argued with his father and he felt some bitterness towards his mother.

After the Inochi Massacre, Zev went to live with his uncle, his father's brother, in Direi. His uncle, like his father, liked to drink (though not to the same extent), and actually allowed Zev to have some. Zev initially hated Direi because things were so different, and he found himself getting in trouble for things that he could've gotten away with in Inochi. A semester before he would have graduated from school, Zev quit and got a job from his uncle as being a mailman.

Zev's a rather cynical and sarcastic person, who though can be very likable, can also start a lot of fights. He likes to be right, and he likes telling others whatever it is he's right about is. He doesn't really like being a mailman - he always wanted to be a soldier - but he likes that he gets to travel a lot.
