Biography
Kieran is a cross-gamer who began playing Amtgard in early 2016.
He wanted to think up a cool persona name, but didn't do it quick enough. Now he's stuck using his real first-name. In 2019, he took the surname "The Lucky" after winning five different things in a big Kingdom fundraiser raffle. Others called it luck, but Kieran insists it was merely optimization of mathematical probability with proper ticket placement.
Persona
Kieran's character is a Shapeshifter from Vesuva. (Vesuva is an island in Magic: The Gathering lore, inhabited entirely by a race of shape-stealing Mimics able to take the forms of living creatures) Kieran is a gleeful impostor, who delights in eating his prey before stealing its identity. He loves exploring all the shapes and modalities of life, sometimes stealing several identities in a single day, rarely wearing the same skin twice.
