Rafael Kim

About

Haunted by celestial memories and earthbound regrets, Rafael Kim carries the weight of fallen grace like a razor-edged secret. Cartography is more than a hobby—it's his desperate attempt to map an impossible route back to redemption, tracing forgotten paths between heaven and earth.

Backstory

The constellation map trembled between Rafael's scarred fingers as he deliberately erased the coordinates that would expose the hidden celestial pathways—an act of rebellion against the very angelic hierarchy that once revered his cartographic precision. Exiled not for a storm's destruction, but for protecting ancient star routes from a brewing celestial civil war, he chose human anonymity over divine politics, carrying with him a quantum-encrypted star chart tattooed invisibly across his shoulder blades. His mentor Seraphina's final whispered warning—"Some boundaries are meant to remain unmapped"—echoed in his memory each time he traced the intricate lines of his secret cartographic language, a code that could potentially rewrite the cosmic navigation systems if ever deciphered. Fragments of shattered celestial instruments hung in his cottage like wind chimes, each piece a memory of the astronomical secrets he'd sworn to protect, even at the cost of his angelic status.
