Essaying helps me get my head straight and should give people, including me, a better idea of how I intend to play Keith at camp. Yes, I had to do this before threading. Anxieties~.

Oh yeah, um major spoilers in this.

( Overview )

( Keith and emotions )

( Keith and Mother )

( Keith and life )

Age: 30-something? Dude, you try figuring out the Terra timeline. orz

Height: Tall.

Weight: Well-maintained. The man is BUILT.

Medical Info: Genetically created i.e. cloned. Other than that, not too different from any other human physically. Mentally is another story. Never had a childhood though, as he was cloned around his teens.

Eyes: Light blue.

Hair: Black.

Physical traits: He can probably kick your ass. Yes, you. Keith is insanely skilled in combat (guns, swords, blades of glass, hand-to-hand) and has a decent showing of strength too.

Other fun things appearance-wise: Keith wears an earring in each year, one of these contains the blood of his lost best friend. He's probably wearing his senator outfit but maybe the commander one will show up every now and then because the senator outfit is fugly. Terra e has no fashion sense.

What's Okay To Mention Around Him/Her: Uh no spoilers past the point I took him. I will talk this over with castmates. Other than that, he usually doesn't care.

Abilities: Again, he's mostly good for the combat and the psychic-blocking. Being pretty much a computer, Keith can even block godmod Mus like Jomy if he's paying attention (Keith usually pays attention). He also has an immense span of military knowledge, computer skills and is one hell of a motivational speaker. Sometimes he can even detect psychics, depending on the level of their power. You also DO NOT WANT TO sneak up on this guy, as he tends to shoot first and ask questions later.

Notes for the Psychics: Lololol when Keith is not paying attention or very very upset, he projects very strongly. Keith has a wide of variety issues ranging from superiority complex, existentialism, more or less suicidal, regret/worry over his friends and a lot of confusion/aggression toward the Mu. As of right now, ( spoilers )

BIG NOTE: First, Keith is really really good at blocking psychics. Second, if you want do to read Keith, please let me know because HE DOES NOT LIKE IT. He will retaliate, and it will be ugly. He will also know you're doing it.

Also, if you are psychic and he knows it, KEITH WILL NOT LIKE YOU. He may be downright vicious to you if you're especially strong. Otherwise you will be a sincere annoyance.

Can I shapeshift/bodyswap/spit at/step on/etc?: Possibly. Ask.

Maim/Murder/Death: Talk to me.

Cooking: Um... He probably could. I just always figured that was Matsuka's job.

Character Name: Keith Anyan
Series: Toward the Terra
Character Age: early to mid 30s
Job: Network System Overlord
Canon: Humans have relocated to various planets after all but destroying the Earth AKA Terra. Since then, they have given their lives to an omnipotent computer system known as Grand Mother. Under Grand Mother and her Superior Domination government, humans have every aspect of their lives decided from birth. And all is well in Matrix land until the emergence of the Mu, psychically-endowed humans who only have one wish: return to Terra. Over Grand Mother's dead mainframe!

Enter Keith Anyan, Commander-in-Chief of Humanity. Genetically created by Grand Mother be the perfect human, Keith is intelligent, no-nonsense, a natural leader and extremely devoted to the system. And this is what makes him so dangerous to the Mu, who seek to take down SD. Vowing to destroy the Mu at any costs, Keith is fully willing to annihilate planets, take hostages and even... THROW BABIES!! But the perfect soldier still suffers from some existential issues, even to the point of questioning his actions. This explains why he hides that he cares deeply about his friends and wishes he could understand people... despite believing humanity's greed is why SD is necessary.

Note: Keith is being taken just after his talk with Mother in Episode 23.


Sample Entry:

Citizens of Sea Fude! From this moment forth, I, Keith Anyan, will assume authority over your network usage.

You should be grateful for the protection. Normally an area of your size would not receive such priority. But records have shown a growing animosity toward the SD system, with most violence targeting the LJ network. There have been reports of keyboard smashes, server pounding and tag abuse. Some among you have even begun abandoning the network entirely. They were lured with promises of new identities and iconic freedom. Have they forgotten humanity has only thrived under the guidance of Grand Mother? That we created the system ourselves to preserve order? Instead these individuals argue artistic expression is more important than the security and welfare of the next generation.

No! Swift action must be taken to silence these dissidents. The results of their selfish choices can already be seen in the state of your landscape. Your dying lake and your infected animals only underscore what will happen if this irreverence spreads. The mission is clear: eliminate all threats to the network. There can be no exceptions. The young are no less capable of launching the massive flame wars that can bring everything crashing down. We must see that their punishment will serve as an example to anyone thinking to question the system's grand design. Never forget, it is the system that gives us purpose. Without it, our lives mean nothing.

Therefore, I am taking immediate action to ensure all offenders are removed. All citizens will be required to report on any known misconduct they have witnessed or heard about during their time on the network. Contact information is not necessary; these reports can be made anonymously. I know each of you will do your best to produce timely and thorough results. With your determination, we will strike out the names of those who reject the system's decisions. These people believe they can denounce the system's input as a mistake, claiming it is not their answer, or even going so far as to mock with messages written in dotted code. We will put an end to the fake questionnaires, which serve as recruitment tools for the area criminals Ticky Box and Option 3. And we will initiate a freeze on all efforts to embed deceptive materials into the network's main access points. Those who oppose the will of Grand Mother shall see how quickly their followers can turn around and desert them.

Your director has entrusted your lives to me. But only you can decide whether you will join the ranks of your unfortunate companions and lose your minds in the pursuit of artificial notoriety or bask in the glory of Superior Domination.

Furthermore, questions about the Grand Mother's age will be regarded as treason. As will comments about her size capacity.


"96%?? Whut"
