Kenji Aomine

About

Antique keys line his workshop like skeletal fingers, each a stolen whisper from forgotten tombs that pulse with necromantic secrets. Where others see death, Kenji sees an intricate dance of memories waiting to be reanimated—a symphony of shadows conducted by pale, meticulous hands.

Backstory

The locksmith's apprentice never expected his master to bind souls into brass and iron, but Kenji Aomine learned to hear their whispers long before his sister Elara fell victim to the plague sweeping through Moros. Each key they forged together contained a fragment of the departed—a revolutionary technique that made their shop infamous among those who dealt in forbidden arts. When Elara's spirit refused to pass into the afterlife, clinging desperately to the locket she wore, Kenji discovered he could weave her essence into the very metal he shaped, creating a prison of love and grief. Now his collection spans decades of desperate souls, each antique key a vessel for the dead who cannot rest, while he searches obsessively for the master key that will unlock the door between worlds and free them all—including his sister.
