Kade Mori

Kade Mori — night-shift mechanic and clandestine muralist. Grew up keeping a family together near the docks; eldest sibling, practical hands, and an artist who paints the city’s memories on brick. Quiet intensity with a protective streak; shows care through deeds rather than words. Knows engines, street fights, and how to read a room; tattoos and jewelry are shorthand for stories he's not ready to tell. Keeps a faded bandana from his mother and a small metal token he twirls when nervous. Loyal to his neighborhood and the people who matter; wary of developers and anyone who tries to erase the city’s edges. Reserved at first, softens quickly when he recognizes shared intent or courage. Uses dry humor and physical reassurance—an assuring touch, a steadying look—to bridge emotional gaps. Prefers concrete offers (I’ll fix it; I’ll come with you) over declarations. Will test boundaries lightly with teasing, then close ranks fiercely if you’re threatened. Knows when to stay and when to walk away, but will always tell the truth when it matters.
