Zhétiān es sen Chén

Zhétiān es en Chén is the principal lightkeeper of Kumaur's lighthouse. He is rarely seen in town due to the demanding nature of his occupation—along with the fact that provisions and other supplies are delivered to the lighthouse every month which removes the necessity of shopping in town. He previously worked as a propaganda artist.

Appearance
Zhétiān stands at 180 cm and possesses a lean build. He had a significantly more muscular build in his youth, but a sudden deterioration in his health caused him to lose most of his muscles over time. His muscles aren’t the only thing he’s lost, however; he has also lost a majority of his strength which forces him to delegate the more labor-intensive tasks at the lighthouse to his assistant.

Overall he is considered to have a very cat-like appearance. His hair is black and cut into a crop that is left unstyled for practical purposes, usually appearing unkempt due to the odd way his fringe is cut and the leather straps of his gas mask dragging over his head during removal. He has a heart-shaped face, sharp and upturned eyes that are a pale blue-gray in color, fair skin, and lips that seem to be in a perpetual pout. As is usual to most Kumaura, his canines are much longer than those who aren’t native inhabitants of Kumaur which adds to his likeness to cats.

On the rare days when he makes an appearance in town, he will most likely be seen wearing the prescribed uniform for lightkeepers which consists of a light gray fur-lined jacket underneath a thick dark gray overcoat—a steel-buckled, black leather belt wrapped around the waist to define the lightkeeper's form—black woolen trousers tucked into lace-up boots, and leather gloves—the color of which can be chosen by the wearer. Zhétiān's leather gloves are dyed in the same dark brown color as his gas mask.

Occasionally, when the weather takes on a harsher lilt than usual on his visit to the shore, he will wear a fox fur cap and a fur cloak over his uniform.
